"Why?" Orlando frowned and looked at Jacob's smug expression.
Jacob smiled lewdly as he walked past and put his arm on Orlando's shoulder. Orlando shivered. He looked at him with disgust. "Are you insane?"
Jacob looked serious. "Certainly not. I'm serious..."
Putting his arm around Orlando's shoulder, Jacob intended to discuss with him about letting Janet work in the K&T Inc.
However, when they went out, they saw Janet talking to the secretary. It seemed like the secretary didn't let her in.
"I just need you to inform..."
"What's going on?" Jacob looked at the secretary and asked.
The secretary glanced at Janet. "She wants to see the boss, but I can't let her in without an appointment."
The secretary didn't think there was anything wrong with her. This was what she should do.
"I..."
As soon as Janet said, Jacob interrupted her. "Didn't I tell you to wait? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Jacob knew that Xavier minded her, so he didn't like her to come on her own.
Janet pressed her lips together. "I'm just afraid I will make things difficult..."
At this moment, the door was opened, and Xavier walked out, seemingly ignoring everyone. He threw the signed document to Orlando and walked towards the elevator. He checked the time and considered when he could arrive at the hospital...
"Mr. Jones..."
Janet shouted. Xavier, who was about to reach the elevator, turned around and looked coldly.
"Mrs. Jones just told me that if I need any help, I can go to her..."
Janet asked with a smile, "Is that okay?"
Xavier turned around. It was indeed what Arya would do. Jasper was selfish at the time, but his kindness to Arya was not fake. It was true that he died for Arya.
It was reasonable for him to take care of Jasper's wife and children as much as he could.
Jacob's eyes lit up. "Does that mean she can stay in the company?"
"She didn't need to go to the K&T Inc?"
Besides, K&T Inc was controlled by Orlando.
"So can I arrange a job for her in the company?" Jacob tried to ask.
He probably already had an answer. Arya had already told Janet that. Could Xavier refuse?
Xavier ignored it and went into the elevator.
But Jacob knew that this was acquiescence.
After leaving the company, Xavier drove to the hospital.
When he arrived, Cullen's deputy was waiting at the door. When he saw Xavier's car coming in, he immediately came up. Xavier parked it and got off.
"... The Old Chief is in the ward."
The Deputy led the way. He wanted to say something but stopped.
"What's wrong? What did the doctor say?" Xavier asked.
The Deputy was anxious. "The tumor. The doctor said if he got surgery, he could live longer..."
Xavier paused slightly. The tumor was not serious if it was benign, but judging from the Deputy's expression, the situation was not optimistic.
Through the hall corridor, Xavier followed the Deputy to the ward. The Deputy said, "He's awake now."
It was a brief answer, not a promise, but more important and heavier than a promise.
Cullen was satisfied and expressed his trust several times in a row.
Later, Cullen was mentally unwell, and Xavier helped him lie down.
About half an hour later, Cullen fell asleep. Xavier got up and walked out. The Deputy looked into the room. "Is he asleep?"
Xavier didn't answer his question, but said, "Call the attending doctor."
The Deputy went right away.
Standing in the hallway, Xavier took out his cigarette. Seeing the warning sign on the wall, he put it back in. He pulled on his loose collar and felt a little sad.
At this moment, the attending doctor followed the Deputy.
Xavier narrowed his eyes. "What is the success rate of the surgery?"
"Thirty percent." Because it was malignant, he would definitely die if he didn't accept the surgery. However, there was a 30% chance that the surgery would succeed and he could live for a few more years.
Xavier's expression became more serious. "Is there no other way?"
It was only a matter of time if the tumor became malignant. Xavier knew all this, but he wanted to get some hope from the doctor.
"No." There was nothing else the doctor could do.
Xavier held the doctor's shoulder. "Then please try your best to cure him."
"We will."
Walking out of the hospital, Xavier didn't go back immediately. Instead, he leaned against the car and smoked.
Arya didn't call Cullen grandfather. She just didn't know how to say it, but she would definitely care. If she knew Cullen's situation now...
