Ice and Fire novel Chapter 852

In the CEO's office at the XS Hospital, Greg picked up the telephone and called the nurse station.

"Hello," a nurse answered from the other end of the line.

"I am Greg Xiao. How is Kate Bai doing? Is she alright?" Greg asked seriously. He had just finished his work at hand. Since Lawrence had asked him to pay special attention to Kate, he called and inquired of her condition.

"She is fairly stable. We have been taking turns attending to her. Everything is OK with her," the nurse reported.

"I see. If there is any emergency, just fill me in," Greg instructed as he ended the call.

Exhausted, he leaned back in the swivel chair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. There was so much on his mind. 'Two days ago, Lawrence left for Hong Kong, and he was supposed to be with Violet, ' Greg thought. It bothered him on end that his wife was still not coming home. But he knew, at least her brother Lawrence would help reconcile them back. It wouldn't be soon though, if it was true that Lawrence, Violet and maybe some other family member would most be on their way to America, after Hong Kong. The only source of relief for Greg was the fact that Lawrence would be by Violet's side. For that, he knew everything would go smooth as expected.

His reprieve was short-lived as his thoughts wondered to yet another issue that was putting on him a lot of pressure. He was still worried about Kate Bai's health. At last, he decided to check on her in person. Taking his white coat from the hanger, he put on it and walked out of the office.

Meanwhile, Sharon in the company of Sally had just driven through the gate at the XS Hospital and parked the car in the garage.

Before they walked out of the car, Sally turned a sidelong glance at the hospital's name on top of the building. "I heard Jackson's daughter had a surgery here?" she asked flatly.

"I suppose so," Sharon replied, "By then, Fred and I were not married yet, but I've heard it from him."

"Looks like things are getting interesting," Sally sneered. She opened the car door and stepped out.

Taking a signal from Sally, Sharon also followed out of the car and together, the two walked into the imposing XS Hospital.

"Where's she?" Sally whispered to Sharon, reminding her to keep a low profile. Furtively going around, they passed patients, patents' families, nurses and even doctors, without raising an eyebrow.

"Obviously, it has to be the VIP wing. That's the only place they could admit Aria's mother. That, I'm pretty sure. Just follow me," Sharon answered. Quickening her pace, she walked before Sally and led the way to the ward.

Compared to the common ward area, there were fewer people in the VIP area. The whole story was deadly silent. Only the sound of Sally's footsteps could be heard, her high heels resounding all the way.
