My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: We found him a perfect match.

Khan dropped Ashley off at her office building, which was still under renovation. However, since it was already in its final stages, only a few workers remained.

Khan insisted on staying with her for her safety. However, Ashley wanted him to focus on coordinating with Gustav so they could sneak Lucian out of the hospital without anyone noticing.

How Gustav would keep the doctor’s lips sealed was something he had to figure out himself.

As for Khan and his crew, the success of the plan mostly rested on them. Ashley didn’t want anyone screwing it up for her. Her first move as the Madam of Dominion was to secure Lucian’s safety. If this failed, it would drastically affect her entire future.

Having said that, Ashley headed straight into the building. However, she didn’t go anywhere else.

Instead, she headed to a secret floor that only she had access to.

Once the elevator opened, Ashley stepped out onto the secret floor of her building. There wasn’t much there aside from an open space, multiple computers and monitors, and a few couches.

She walked toward one of the computers and pressed the power button, watching all the monitors light up.

[Welcome Back, Ghost.]

The greeting appeared on the screen before the monitors displayed multiple tabs she had left open. Every file she had on her laptop had been synced here, allowing her to control everything remotely.

But unlike using a small laptop, this place had been designed for efficiency.

Ashley put down her bag and sat on the swivel chair. Reaching for a bottle of water, she chugged it down.

Just then, her phone pinged.

Glancing at it, she saw Doctor Wesley’s name.

Ashley checked the message and saw several attached files.

[Madam, this is Doctor Wesley. These are all the master’s medical records as you requested. I have already sorted them according to the timeline. If you have any questions, my line is open.]

Ashley quickly checked the files, but there were too many pages. Hence, she sent them to her computer and immediately got to work.

She wasn’t a professional, but she knew how to read test results, though not enough to make a diagnosis.

"Interesting," she whispered. "So, before Lucian’s diagnosis, he was fine. Is this normal?"

Ashley examined Doctor Wesley’s records, and if she was understanding them correctly, Lucian had been completely fine up until the diagnosis.

To understand it better, Ashley searched for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and read through multiple articles. She spent an hour trying to understand it. She knew an hour was probably not enough, but she needed a better grasp of it.

Not that she didn’t trust Doctor Wesley, but aside from stabilizing her position in Dominion, Lucian was also her priority.

"So there really isn’t any cure for this disease." Her jaw tightened as she bit her thumb while reading more. "Is a transplant the only option we have?"

Ashley glanced back at Lucian’s records and shook her head.

She might have been adamant about scheduling Lucian for a transplant, but that didn’t mean she wanted that to be their only hope.

With that, she moved on and searched for any ongoing research regarding drugs or treatments for the disease.

Ashley quietly looked through the research facilities and their progress. Quite a handful of them were working on treatments for diseases like this.

Lucian—through Black Dragon Corporation—had actually funded several of them.

People simply never connected it to him because he funded many other research projects as well.

Another two hours passed, and Ashley found herself running her hands down her face. Even with Ghost’s network, it felt hopeless.

Leaning back in her chair, she tilted her head and closed her eyes. When she reopened them, she stared at the ceiling.
