However, when they came out, their expressions were solemn and not very pleasant.“Mr. Sloan, the chairman’s health isn’t good. Although the surgery fifteen years ago was successful, the valves of his heart have been damaged and are blocking the blood vessels, so the risk is extremely high. The best recommendation now is to operate.”Grant pursed his lips. His gaze was sunken and cold. “What’s the success rate if you handle the surgery?”The expert held his forehead and shrugged very honestly. “40%. This isn’t an ordinary heart bypass surgery. It isn’t even a simple surgery. It involves various aspects of linking and connecting vessels, and we can’t cut open his heart to study the surgical procedure fifteen years ago, so we can’t rule out any unexpected risks when conducting the surgery.”Plus, if it were an ordinary person, the success rate they gave might be a little higher.However, faced with the pressure from the Stanton family, they did not have that confidence.The air fro
Everyone looked at Clayton.Clayton’s face was grave. “Felix is Eric Ferguson’s uncle, Charles Ferguson’s cousin. He’s a member of the Ferguson family.”The sentence was like a boulder that crumbled and shattered on them.The relationship between the Stantons and Fergusons was stiff, so there was no way Felix Ferguson would treat Floyd.When met with hope, despair lurked around the corner.Kai suddenly stood up. “I’ll go and drag him here! Even if I have to force him, I’ll make him come over!”There was no time to worry about anything else now. Nothing was as important as Floyd’s life.Grant frowned and looked at him in dissatisfaction.“Even if you tie him to the operating table, will he be obedient? Don’t forget that he’s the main surgeon. Any little accident during the operation can easily be fatal.”Therefore, not only did they have to make Felix come willingly, but they also have to make him come without any mental burden.That was too difficult.Grant glanced at Nicole
Roland had not yet come to his senses when he received Clayton’s call, but he remembered that there was indeed such a matter.A few years ago, various countries attached great importance to the medical industry, and they took the lead in investing in various specialties.That naturally included cardiology.Roland responded blankly, “Yes, but as you know, medical research and development is slow, and profits aren’t objective. Although you’ve been throwing money into it all these years, there are only a few times they were able to recover the capital...”Even so, they could not give up halfway. This kind of investment was good news to all of mankind. It was an opportunity to make progress for the entire human race.Clayton interrupted his report and immediately asked.“Who spearheaded the team for cardiology research?”Roland immediately recalled. “Professor Phillip? But he passed away a few days ago due to a car accident. The one who took over now is his apprentice, Felix Ferguso
This was not the time to be angry.Kai choked. His eyes were red, and he was just about to cry, but Nicole could not help but throw the cushion on the side at him.“Get out!”Floyd looked at Nicole with satisfaction. His daughter was the most attentive.That gaze was extremely gratified.Kai looked up at her like he was saying, “I won’t fight with you now”. Kai even helped Nicole clean up her relationship mess. If she found out about it later, she would definitely be grateful to him.“Stop it, Lil N. What matters now is Dad’s mood. Do you still want to monopolize his love at a time like this?”Kai lectured her with an air of righteousness.Nicole was so angry she was unable to speak for a moment.Grant came from the back after making a phone call and paused when he saw the atmosphere inside.His face was slightly sunken as he looked at Kai.“Are you still messing around at a time like this?”Kai felt doubly wronged. Did his past mistakes make it so easy for people to misund
Grant nodded. “Back then, we cut off many business contacts with the Ferguson family because of the matter in Southeast Asia. I also refused to meet with Eric to talk about reconciliation in private as well. Eric put his focus on developing the overseas market, so we’ve had fewer interactions since then. But it’s urgent this time, so I’ll take the initiative to contact him if necessary.”Nicole paused and nodded.“Alright.”“I just hope that you won’t be unhappy. Clayton too...”Grant was worried.Nicole could not have suffered in vain.The entire Stanton family would take vengeance for her, so they would not worry about the consequences of breaking off relations with the Ferguson family. They would do it all the same.It was just to make Nicole feel better.It was also because when she was with Clayton, Nicole felt more comfortable.However, for the sake of Floyd’s health now, they could not help but bow down. The most aggrieved person was Nicole, so Grant had to tell her.N
Nicole stood in front of the window and looked at the traffic outside, but her heart could not calm down. She did not notice when someone came in behind her.She forced herself to compromise.Yes, the most important thing now was not her feelings.“I know it’s you, Eric. My brother already told you about my family’s situation. I hope that you can ask Dr. Felix to operate on my father. We can negotiate any terms you want.”Nicole finished speaking and closed her eyes. She used up all her willpower to say those few words.The man behind her stood there. His gaze froze for a moment, and his face sank slightly when he looked at Nicole’s back.Nicole was unaware that Clayton was standing behind her.She did not have time to think too much about anything, including Clayton’s mood.The person she cared about most now was Floyd.Eric paused for a few seconds before speaking in a low and hoarse voice.“Let’s meet up and spend a day together, just the two of us, okay?”Before she coul
Nicole’s tense body abruptly relaxed, and her eyes reddened.Clayton tucked his chin against her neck and gently stroked her hair. He sighed softly.“What should I do with you?”There was not even a trace of anger in his voice. It was only filled with helplessness.Nicole came back to her senses and hugged Clayton tightly, burying herself in his arms and sobbing silently.A long time passed.Clayton’s voice was calm. “Are you really going?”Nicole still nodded.He paused. “Alright, I’ll go with you. Is his flight tomorrow?”Nicole paused for a second and nodded. “You...”Clayton pinched her ear and chuckled.“I have to pick up a friend at the airport, so it’s on the way.”Nicole hugged him tightly again, as if her heart could only find true peace with him.Clayton’s gaze deepened slightly, and the corners of his lips sank for a moment.Clayton thought, ‘Does Eric Ferguson really think that he still has a chance? Ridiculous!’At that moment, someone pushed the door in.K
Clayton seemed to smile self-deprecatingly. He had given everything for this relationship, including himself.Perhaps to onlookers, he was lowering himself, but he knew that Nicole was insecure. It was only natural that he had to put in several times more effort than others.Nicole buried herself in his neck and muttered in a muffled voice. “Marrying you won’t mean anything. You’re the only one in my heart anyway.”Clayton raised his brows. He could not believe his ears.Even in bed, he could not get her to say such heartfelt words, but now, she said them so naturally and easily.Clayton had really gone through an emotional roller coaster today.That hint of reluctance when he left earlier completely dissipated.Everything was worth it.Clayton looked at Nicole’s delicate and beautiful face and wanted to go a little further, but he knew that now was not the time.He reached out and lifted her chin, squeezing it tightly. His gaze was warm and soft as his eyes deepened.“Then c
