Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 225

I rushed out of Janetta's ward, a whirlwind of urgency, seeking out Dr. Dailey. My gut was telling me that the doctor hadn't been completely honest with me about Janetta's condition.

Sure enough, upon seeing me, Dr. Dailey greeted me with a warm and knowing smile. "You figured it out, didn't you?" he asked.

"Really? Is she awake?" I asked hastily, my heart pounding with anticipation.

"Yes, she is awake. She's currently just sleeping normally," Dr. Dailey confirmed without hesitation.

My heart soared with relief. “What wonderful news! How is she doing, though? Are her vital signs all right?”

"She's doing quite well. She's lucid, although her body's functions, which have been dormant for a long time, will need some time to fully recover. But I believe she'll adapt quickly and be ready for a normal life soon," Dr. Dailey reassured me. "What happened to her?"

I briefly explained Janetta's situation to Dr. Dailey, who listened with a grave expression.

"Good Lord, what a mess. Was that her ex-husband by the door earlier?"

"Yes, he's the big shot at Elixir Pharma Limited. I'm worried that Janetta's attending doctor will..." I trailed off, feeling uncomfortable suggesting any impropriety. I'd just exposed a lab technician for misconduct earlier that morning. And I didn’t have the heart to accuse another medical professional of bearing ill intentions.

Dr. Dailey seemed to understand where I was going with my statement. "Your concerns aren't unfounded," he said solemnly. "That's why, in the emergency room earlier, I instructed all medical staff involved to keep Janetta's awakening a secret. I don't think they'll disobey my orders."

I suddenly realized why the other doctor's report to Irving matched Dr. Dailey's. He had given the order. "As long as this stays under wraps until she's awake enough to see her sister, we're golden."

"I'll handle this," Dr. Dailey assured me confidently. "I'm quite familiar with her attending doctor."

I understood his implication immediately. He must have some leverage over Janetta's attending doctor.

"I'll go check on her sister's condition," I said, bidding Dr. Dailey goodbye and heading to the maternity ward.

Stepping out of the elevator, I bumped into Catherine.
