No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 238

The moment the command was given, the door to the hospital room swung open.

Dawson strode in, flanked by a team of international experts. With a warm expression, he addressed Heidi, "Ms. Heidi, this is the specialist team Mr. Hayes has flown in from overseas. They're here to ensure you pull through. But before we proceed with any treatment, we'll need to run some tests."

At those words, everyone in the room paused, taken aback. Paolo immediately objected, "What are you trying to do? Heidi's in no state for this. What kind of circus act is this?"

Dawson nodded politely, "Mr. Paolo, Mr. Hayes has his doubts about the competency of the doctors in this hospital. He's concerned they might be mishandling Ms. Heidi's condition, hence the need for a second opinion from these specialists."

Leonora's voice came out sharp and cold. "How dare you! This hospital is under the Hayes family's name. Our medical staff are among the best in the country. Are you trying to undermine your own establishment?"

Dawson remained calm and collected, "Leonora, Mr. Hayes is simply worried. He doesn't want a repeat of the unfortunate incident with Attorney Clara. A severe hemorrhage during an abortion was misrecorded as a voluntary pain-free procedure. It led to a major misunderstanding between him and Attorney Clara. Mr. Hayes doesn't want Ms. Heidi to suffer from a similar mix-up."

Dawson was indeed Ian's right-hand man, handling the forceful Leonora and the domineering Paolo with unflappable ease.

Leonora was so furious her teeth were nearly grinding to dust. "You're just trying to delay the rescue, aren't you? Are you looking for excuses to let Heidi die? Over my dead body!" With that, she positioned herself firmly by Heidi's bedside.

Ian had no patience for beating around the bush. His gaze was icy as he swept over everyone in the room. "A simple checkup is causing you all this distress. What are you so afraid of? Perhaps my suspicions are correct, and what Heidi drank wasn't poison at all."
