Bernard looked at Reign, and an evil look flashed across his eyes.
Reign was incredibly beautiful. Whether in terms of figure or face, nothing needed to be changed, and she was like a masterpiece of gods. Even a nan like Bernard, who had seen much of life, couldnât help but have butterflies in his stomach.
Most importantly, the woman was super rich.
If Bernard could use Lawrence to build an amorous relationship with Reign, his wealth would go up to another level. Not only would he be richer, but he would also be to enjoy a higher social status.
âThe new medicine?â he asked.
Reign turned to look at the man and asked in a deep voice, âMr. Bernard, why didnât you use the medicine I told Josef to give you?â
Before she went there, she had contacted Josef and asked him to bring over his companyâs new medicine for her brother. However, many days had passed and the hospital had yet to administer the medicine to Lawrence.
Reign figured there must be something wrong.
Bernard replied calmly, âMs. Labenz, we have very different requirements here. Generally speaking, medicines that have not been approved by the hospital cannot be used clinically.
*Otherwise, if anything happens to the patient, whose responsibility will that be?â
When Reign, Landon, and Yvonne heard that, their faces darkened.
They were all smart people. From Bernardâs words, they could tell that he was trying to prevent Lawrence from taking the medicine.
âMs. Labenz, donât worry. I take your request very seriously. Iâve instructed the expert panel to research and review the new medicine provided by Deity Pharmaceutical Group. As long as the process is completed, weâll let Lawrence use the medicine,â Bernard explained.
âHow long will the process take?â Yvonne asked.
âThatâs hard to say. It may take as fast as a day or two, or as slow as a month or two,â Bernard said.
Reign, Landon, and Yvonne all put on a brooding face.
Lawrenceâs condition could deteriorate at any time, so he needed to be treated with the new medicine urgently. If they have to wait until the hospital approved it, it would be too late.
âMs. Labenz, this is a rather private matter. Why donât you come to my office and talk about it?â
Bernard invited Reign again.
âWhy canât you talk here? Will it make any difference?â Landon questioned unhappily.
Yvonne also stared at the director with wary eyes.
âThis man wants to be alone with Reign. He must be up to no good,â she thought to herself.
âYes, it will make a difference. Itâs a confidential matter with respect to the new medicine. No one else should be around other than the patientâs family when we talk about it. Itâs our policy and also to protect intellectual property.â
Bernardâs expression was calÃn as he reasoned, âSo if you want us to give the new medicine to Lawrence as soon as possible. Ms. Labenz and I can only talk alone.â
When Landon and Yonne heard that, their eyes turned grimmer.
However, they knew intellectual property rights protection was very important to the Whileal Kingdom. If it was a conversation with the immediate family members or family members, other people had no right to be there.
âAlright, Iâll go to see you later,â said Reign.
Bernard was overjoyed when he heard that.
âThis is great!
âIf Reign comes to have a talk with me in my office, Iâll definitely be able to get her.â
He was thrilled but his face gave no indication of his excitement. He looked at his watch calmly and said. âMs. Labenz, if you really want to talk to me, itâs best to do so in three minutes.
âBecause after three minutes, Iâll be going out for a very important meeting and I wonât be back for the next two days.â
With that, he turned around and left.
Reign stared at Bernardâs back and a trace of hesitancy showed in her eyes. Then, she turned to look at Lawrence who was lying on the bed Gritting her teeth, she walked toward Bernard.
Rei, wait a minute.â
Yvonne quickly grabbed Reign and said with a solemn face, âThat Bernard doesnât look like a good person. If you go to see hint alone, something might happen.
âThatâs right, Rei. Just wait for a while. Haylan will be back soon I believe he will definitely be able to save Lawrence,â Landon said.
âI see that Lawrence doesnât look right. His condition will probably worsen soon. I canât wait any longer.â
Reign shook her head and continued, âItâs an emergency. We have to let Lawrence use the medicine. Weâll talk about the rest when Mr. Jaber comes back.
After giving some instructions to Landon and Yvonne, she immediately took Yvonneâs hand off her and walked to Bernardâs oflice.
âMr. Katz, will something happen to Reign?â Yvonneâs eyes were filled with worry.
âSomething is definitely going to happen to her. Bernard asked her to go and talk to him in his office alone. He must have a secret agenda.
Landon looked at Reign as she was walking away without looking back. It reminded him of his elder brother. Both of them. were so selfless that they could give up everything for the person they wanted to protect.
He smiled and his eyes were filled with gratification. âBut you donât have to worry too much. Rei is no longer a weak person. She can handle this.â
âHuh? Mr. Katz, arenât you worried about Reignâs safety? If Bernard forces his way on her, what is she going to do?â Yvonne frowned.
âDonât worry, sheâs a competent person. She can manage on her own and take care of this small problem. Everything is going to be okay. Besides, this is a hospital. I donât think Bernard will dare to do anything reckless,â Landon said.
As he spoke, he walked to Lawrenceâs side and sat down, watching him closely.
Some killers had attacked Haylan and Reign. Even Lawrence had become their target.
Reign was a healthy person who was able to protect herself. However, Lawrence was in a vegetative state. If someone -attacked him again, he would surely die.
Therefore, Landon had to stay close to Lawrenceâs side to protect him.
Meanwhile, Bernard was making coffee in his office.
The Longhard Kingdom coffee was his favorite. He had a very professional and exquisite set of brewing equipment, including a grinder.
Judging from the quality of the brewing devices, they were not cheap.
In fact, the coffee powder he used was also quite expensive. It was the limited Saint Burdi coffee.
Saint Burdi was very common in the Longhard Kingdom, but the limited Saint Burdi could only be found in two coffee plants.
Moreover, the two coffee plants could only produce 11 pounds of fruit a year.
Bernard must have a deep understanding of the Longhard Kingdomâs culture to be able to have such premium and ridiculously highâpriced coffee. He must know some important and powerful people in the Longhard Kingdom.
When Reign pushed open the door and walked in, the coffee was ready.
The rich aroma filled the entire room and it was refreshing.
When Bernard saw Reign coming over, he smiled and waved at her. âMs. Labenz, you came at the right time. Here, try the coffee Imáde.â
With that, he poured a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Reign.
