Finnick hurriedly accepted the fruit basket.
“Thank you, Ms. Jackovich.”
“This time, I am visiting on behalf of Maredania, representing not only the State but also my mother's caring concern.” As soon as Brianna spoke, her words carried a bureaucratic tone. Despite her young age, which was just over twenty, she had fully mastered the ways of the bureaucratic world. After all, Brianna had been imperceptibly influenced by Sonia, the Secretary of State. Thus, it's only natural that Brianna wouldn't be too bad.
“Thank you to Madam Secretary, and thank you, Ms. Jackovich, as well as Maredania,” Finnick said politely.
“Mr. Oates, there's no need to be so polite,” Brianna said calmly.
“This is what I should do.” She then glanced at the tightly closed ward door.
“Old Mr. Oates' condition doesn't look promising this time!”
“He's been in a coma all this time.” Finnick sighed, with a hint of worry appearing on his face.
“I hope we can save him.”
“If there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to let me know, Mr. Oates.”
Brianna's face grew increasingly arrogant. “Professor Yeatman said that if we proceed with the surgery right away, there might be a thirty to forty percent chance of success. Even with that small chance, it's not guaranteed to result in a full recovery, and there might even be a risk of paralysis.” She continued impatiently, “I don't know what the Oates family is thinking. At a time like this, why haven't you signed the consent for the surgery yet? What exactly are you waiting for? Are you joking around with Old Mr. Oates' life?”
She glanced disdainfully at the Oates family members and added, “Besides, as people get older, they tend to have serious health issues. I heard that Mr. Trevor is looking for a renowned doctor. Has he been deceived by someone?” Brianna's tone was filled with admiration and recognition for Chloe as she spoke.
“Professor Yeatman is my mentor, and currently, there is no one in the entire H Nation who can match my mentor's technical expertise in this field. Even Maredania has invited my mentor to give lectures. What on earth are you guys thinking?” Brianna's tone was filled with pride. Brianna was Maredania's number one socialite, and she studied at the prestigious medical university. Besides, she was also Chloe's most accomplished mentee. One could say she was truly God's favorite. It was all for Trevor's sake that Brianna stood here and talked to the Oates family members for a while. It was a pity that this d*mned Trevor actually went out to look for a so-called renowned doctor instead of coming to beg her. The more Brianna thought about it, the angrier she became.
However, as the number one socialite, she couldn't lower her stance! Finnick didn't say a word; he just let out a sigh. The other members of the Oates family remained silent. Although Trevor was usually unreliable, each of them had their own selfish motives, and not all of them necessarily wanted Nelson to be saved.
