Chapter 1569 Slowly Devour
“Oh, so you’ve already thought this through?” Bruce seemed somewhat relieved to hear that from Charlotte. “Okay. I understand now.”
“Right now, he’s playing Mr. Nacht. The rest of you just need to stay focused on your own responsibilities,” said Charlotte, cryptically. “I’ll cue you in when the time is right.”
“Understood!” Bruce replied. “But do call on us anytime should things get too hot.”
“Got it. I’ll let you go,” replied Charlotte before she hung up. Then, she turned to regard Raina. “Did you get all that?”
“Yeah…” Raina nodded. “The hospital’s mine, so they’ll take good care of Ben and Alpha even if I’m no longer there. I’m just worried that…”
Whatever she wanted to say next need not be explicitly articulated. It was apparent to Charlotte that the medical staff would defer to representatives from the Nacht family if any of them came by.
“Hard to say for certain.” Charlotte was in the opinion that there was nothing Chris and Jesse wouldn’t do. “Do you have any other facilities to recommend?”
“H City’s top three hospitals are Kindness Hospital, Serene Hospital, and the other one belonging to the Gold family,” Raina said. “I can’t guarantee whether the doctors will be able to treat Alpha, but Ben’s condition will require Dr. Wright’s personal attention…”
“What shall we do then?” That got Lupine quite worked up.
After some thought, Raina said, “Just leave him over here. I’ll try to stall things for a couple of days to give Alpha time to stabilize post-surgery. Then we’ll see how to take it from there. Though I may be from the Nacht family, my hospital isn’t under their purview as there are other shareholders and government officials that we would need to answer to. In view of that, the Nacht family won’t likely attempt anything too crazy.”
“Good.” Charlotte nodded. “Stall a couple of days for Alpha’s condition to stabilize, and then have her sent home to recuperate. Hayley and Sam will still be around anyway.”
“That’ll work.” Raina nodded profusely. “They are safe with me. At the very least, they haven’t proven themselves to be that brazen, to date. If nothing else, Alpha is Mr. Lindberg’s kid, after all.”
