Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 7
Abel rushed to the hospital to find Oscar in critical condition.
Lewis and Rosaline were already there. Landen, his uncle, had also just arrived.
Everyone was worried and they could only pray that the old man would survive.
“Lewis,” said Landen, “Why don’t you try getting your contact to plead with the Wonder Doctor again? Our father’s life depends on it!”
“They’ve tried to contact him three times now. I even got them to offer 50 million to the doctor, but they said he hung up on them.”
“Try again, they’ll find a way to get him…they have to…”
Just as the two brothers were in a state of desperation, a bodyguard came in and announced, “The Wonder Doctor is coming. He’s on the elevator right now!”
Everyone there instantly perked up.
The visitation area of the VIP ward went completely silent.
Ahh!
Suddenly, everyone let out a loud gasp at the same time.
“For real? The Wonder Doctor is coming over?” asked Landen
“Yes, Mr. Landen,” replied the bodyguard excitedly. “He’s on his way up as we speak.”
With a trembling voice, Lewis exclaimed, “Go and meet him right now! Finally, help is here!”
Coming to their senses, everyone rushed out the door to meet the Wonder Doctor.
Abel also helped his mother out of the room behind the crowd.
The elevator was slowly rising, and everyone was transfixed at the panel displaying the floor the elevator was that. Their excitement rose along with the number.
“Ding!”
The elevator arrived at their floor and the door slowly opened. All eyes were fixated on the door of the elevator.
Emmeline was immediately greeted with stares from the Ryker family as she walked out of the elevator.
Thankfully no one recognized her as she was in a full protective suit with a huge face mask over her face.
The assistant behind her let out a surprised gasp when he saw the crowd.
Both Lewis and Landen immediately gave a polite bow and greeted the doctor, “You’re finally here, Wonder Doctor.”
The rest of the Ryker family followed suit and bowed before the doctor.
“Mmhmm,” replied Emmeline without batting an eye. She pushed past the crowd of people and walked towards the ward.
She may not need money, but an easy 50 million dollars was hard to turn down. What’s more, she could save a life in the process.
