The vice-dean was scared by Nathan's glare. He was sure that he didn't offend Nathan, so why was he glaring at him? The vice-dean felt ill at ease.
"Since Adrian has gotten injured without excessive blood loss before, then it could only mean that something is wrong with his body now; it's by no means an accident. Maybe some bacteria entered his body but stayed dormant due to the immune system. But when he got injured this time, more bacteria entered in his body, and coupled with the previous ones, they easily overloaded his immune system," Mandy speculated, reading the blood test report.
"Emm..." The Dean hesitated, adding nothing to her speculation.
Honestly, the Dean wanted to say that it was his first time hearing something like this.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the office. "No, it can't be that. You are overthinking."
Audrey opened the door and came in. She was dressed in a clean white coat paired with five-centimeter rivet heels, and she looked neat. She held a large pile of documents in her hands and walked into the office, acting aloof.
In the entire cardiology department, Audrey was the last one to find out about Adrian's case. And if it weren't for Angelina and Cassie talking all over about it, she still wouldn't have known it. Like this, she was kept in the dark till now.
Audrey raised her head and looked at Nathan with dim eyes. She said in a delicate and touching voice, "Nathan, Adrian is hospitalized. Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"
"Audrey, are you kidding? Who are you? Why should we tell you?" Mandy frowned and stood up. She stared at Audrey in anger. She thought, 'Who the hell does she think she is? Is she even remotely related to Adrian?'
What annoyed Mandy, even more, was that Audrey had just objected to her speculation. Although her speculation lacked any solid proof, that didn't make it wrong. All it needed was a piece of strong evidence to back it up.
Audrey was embarrassed by Mandy's barrage of questions. She didn't expect that Mandy would embarrass her in public, in the presence of the hospital's dean at that.
However, Audrey was not stupid. She was slick and tactful. She squinted and smiled while keeping calm. "Mrs. Jin, do you have any prejudice against me? Anyway, I've saved Adrian before. I care about this child very much. After all, we are closely connected."
The doctors were silent. Everyone held their breath and watched the show. They were all guessing how Mandy would react to Audrey's words.
Audrey left Mandy stuck between a rock and a hard place. With a single statement, she characterized Mandy as someone narrow-minded and petty. Mandy thought, 'Humph! You always pretend to be innocent. What a good trick!'
But this time, Mandy calmed down. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Audrey, thanks for your concern, but we are now discussing Adrian's condition. If you are concerned about him, you can go and see him. You shouldn't be here."
Audrey's face went blank. Obviously, she was pissed off by Mandy. She curled her lips and said, "I actually came here to discuss Adrian's condition. I've seen all the reports, and I suspect that he suffers from leukemia."
