As Finn dropped to a crouch beside Dennis to check his vitals, Irene started to apply first aid since she knew Dennis's condition.
However, she noticed that something was amiss when she checked Dennis's heart rate.
Still, she calmly looked up at Finn and said, "Call an ambulance… Never mind. That would take too much time—just carry him out of here."
"Okay." Finn fully trusted Irene now and quickly did what he was told.
Irene helped him move Dennis over his back before running ahead and arranging for Eagle to get the car ready. Soon, Finn got Dennis in the car, while Eagle drove all of them to the hospital.
Thanks to Irene's quick response, Dennis was rescued in time.
"Is Director Turner going to be alright?" Finn asked.
Irene simply stayed silent, her expression somber.
After all, she knew that Dennis was in bad shape—his life was at risk.
"Why aren't you saying anything, Director Spencer?" Finn asked, staring at her just then. "Is it serious?"
Irene remained silent—she must stay calm, and her mind must be rational.
Finally turning toward Finn, she told him to bring the artificial heart they developed, leaving him stunned.
"Is it that serious? And the artificial heart is still in the test phase. It shouldn't be used i,n humans…"
"It's just in case, and I'm worried that Mr. Turner is going to need it."
Irene certainly knew that there was no telling if Dennis would survive this.
"But—"
"Just go," Irene said, cutting him short—she did not have time to explain, and Dennis's chances of survival depended on every second they had!
When Finn still hesitated, Irene urged, "Go. I'm here to keep an eye on things."
Finn lingered for another moment before turning and starting to run.
Irene called out from behind him, "Take my car. Tell Eagle to drive you."
Taxis would take too much time.
