The doctor said, "This guy is lucky. Most people's hearts are on the left, but his is on the right. He'll recover fully with proper rest."
Debra breathed a sigh of relief.
Drake and Kale were wheeled out of the operating rooms, both still unconscious. For the time being, they couldn't tell her anything.
In the car outside, Randy learned something through a call. His expression turned grim in no time.
He rushed into the hospital and shouted, "Guys, I've got some bad news."
"Sir, please keep your voice down here," a nurse reminded him.
"Sorry. It's an emergency," Randy apologized, rushing toward Debra and Marion. "Something is up at the Nichols Group."
"Take a breath and explain," Debra replied.
"Alright." Randy steadied himself. "It's Juan. He came back."
"What?"
"And he's back with the 45% stake. How did he even get it back?"
"I gave those shares to Drake. He was supposed to use them to take over the Nichols Group today. How did they end up with Juan?"
Randy interjected, "We're running out of time. Someone has to go, or in half an hour, Juan will take over for real."
"I'll go," Debra said. "Get the car. We're heading over."
They hurried down the hospital corridor.
Marion glanced at Kale and Drake in the ward. Robert's recent words echoed in his mind.
He was born without emotions. Debra was the only one who could make him feel the real world. He couldn't imagine what he would do if it were Debra lying in that hospital bed.
