Nathalie Quinlan arrived at the provincial hospital to find the area outside the ergency room in complete chaos.
The Wilmar family’s relatives had mostly gathered there.
Stanley Zachmann and Mr. Zachmann, concerned about Nathalie coming alone, had followed her to the hospital. When they saw the hallway filled with Wilmar family mbers, they exchanged a glance and froze.
"What on earth happened here?" Mr. Zachmann, who had seen his fair share of situations, quickly regained composure after a brief mont of shock, stepped forward, and asked quietly.
Stanley shook his head, indicating he had no idea what was going on: "I’m just as clueless."
After hesitating for a mont, he looked at the girl walking briskly ahead of him. His expression was complicated, and he leaned over to speak softly to Mr. Zachmann, "Nathalie ntioned that one of her friend’s grandfathers was critically ill. Maybe it’s just a coincidence."
Mr. Zachmann remained silent: "..."
Narrowing his eyes as Stanley pushed him forward, he watched the bustling and tense scene among the dical staff along the corridor. A feeling in his gut told him sothing major had happened.
Mr. Wilmar was of the sa generation as him, famous for having an even worse physical condition than his own. So ti ago, he had heard that Mr. Wilmar had suffered a severe illness and nearly passed away.
Back then, most of Beijing’s influential figures had gone to visit the Wilmar family.
Adelle Wafford had also attended.
Caryn Zachmann had followed Adelle there.
At that ti, many rumors circulated that Mr. Wilmar wouldn’t pull through. But in the end, he miraculously turned a corner and recovered...
Mr. Zachmann’s mind grew heavier.
This ti, he hadn’t heard any rumors about Mr. Wilmar being critically ill, but judging by the number of Wilmar family mbers gathered outside the ergency room and the solemn expressions on their faces, his heart sank. It looked like this ti, Mr. Wilmar might truly be on his way out.
Mr. Wilmar is critically ill.
It’s undoubtedly a major event!
How could it be such a coincidence that Nathalie’s friend’s grandfather also happened to be in the ergency room?
It seed too improbable.
Mr. Zachmann was still mulling this over when he suddenly noticed so of the agitated Wilmar family mbers glancing in their direction.
Soon, Yonathan Wilmar, the current head of the Wilmar family, strode over to them. His steps were hurried, and the tension in his deanor was unmistakable.
Mr. Zachmann furrowed his brows, becoming even more bewildered.
He had t Yonathan Wilmar a few tis.
The only son of Mr. Wilmar, Yonathan was mature, steady, and exceptionally loyal. He had a stellar reputation within Beijing’s elite circles, though he tended to spend most of his ti stationed in other provinces.
In recent years, as Mr. Wilmar’s health had steadily declined, Yonathan had gradually adjusted his work commitnts to Beijing to better care for his elderly father.
Mr. Zachmann had a very favorable impression of him. Seeing Yonathan now, hurrying toward them, he couldn’t imdiately guess who Yonathan might be seeking. He even turned to glance behind him, wondering if soone else might be standing there.
But in the blink of an eye, the tall, mature man had stopped firmly in front of Nathalie. His tone was urgent as he spoke, "Ms. Quinlan, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for quite so ti. My father has already fallen unconscious. Could you take a look..."
Yonathan Wilmar had hurried over specifically to find Nathalie?
Both Mr. Zachmann and Stanley Zachmann were utterly stunned by the scene before them.
What’s going on?
He’s looking for Nathalie?
The grandfather Nathalie ntioned earlier—was she actually referring to Mr. Wilmar???
Even Stanley was speechless. Mr. Zachmann, despite priding himself on his years of experience and ability to handle anything, found himself montarily dumbfounded and unable to process the implications.
anwhile, Nathalie remained perfectly composed, effortlessly conversing with Yonathan. She asked about Mr. Wilmar’s condition, how long he had been in the operating room, and other details...
Strictly speaking, such information would normally be considered highly confidential, given Mr. Wilmar’s notable status.
