Walker Grant’s expression was grim. He had contacted Doctor William and finalized the surgical plan, yet now, Doctor William had taken it upon himself to change it.
He asked in a low voice, "Who contacted you?"
Doctor William was horrified. ’This man is truly perceptive.’
But he couldn’t say.
He said, "I’m heading into the operating room. If you have any questions, we can talk after the surgery."
He hung up abruptly.
A thoughtful look appeared in Walker Grant’s long, dark eyes. He then called Dylan Finch in.
"Mr. Grant, you were looking for me?" Dylan Finch asked, clearly puzzled.
Walker Grant said calmly, "Go find out who contacted William in the past two days, and what they talked about."
"Yes," Dylan Finch replied.
Though confused, he did as he was told.
Walker Grant stood up and went straight to the hospital.
Outside the operating room, Chloe Reed sat on a chair, her anxious gaze darting toward the doors every so often.
Walker Grant walked over, sat down beside her, and asked, "Chloe, what did you do?"
Chloe Reed’s back went rigid. She looked at him. "What are you talking about? I don’t understand."
"I gave Doctor William a lot of money. He shouldn’t have betrayed me." A probing look filled Walker Grant’s eyes. "Chloe, who helped you?"
Chloe Reed had been wondering about that herself, but now, she suddenly recalled what Miles Hawthorne had said.
’Could he have done it?’
’But how?’
’How could he get past Walker Grant and convince Doctor William to perform the surgery ahead of schedule?’
Chloe Reed’s eyes flickered for just a moment before she said, "I don’t know."
Her tone was icy. Now that she was free from his coercion and her grandmother was safely in surgery, she had no reason to be pleasant to him.
