Chapter 105: Chapter 105

Chapter 105 A Blatant Threat Anna’s attention was diverted as she explained the whole situation, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Danny, accompanied by Ben and Anna, entered the garden and suggested they all play hide and seek together.

Ben and Anna split up to hide. Anna concealed herself within the bushes, while Ben chose the attic for her hiding spot.

After hiding for a while, Anna, feeling bored, quietly emerged from the bushes with the intention of reuniting with Ben.

To her surprise, as soon as she came out, she saw two figures by the attic window. It was Danny and Ben.

Unaware of their conversation, Danny suddenly reached out and pushed Ben down.

Anna was terrified and let out a sharp scream, but Danny had disappeared without a trace.

“I really didn’t lie. He’s a bad guy. He pushed Ben down…” Anna’s voice quivered with grievance as she spoke, and she seemed on the verge of tears.

Charlotte hurriedly placed a kiss on her daughter’s forehead. “Anna, I believe you haven’t lied. The surveillance footage will definitely prove your words true.”

Anna asked softly, “Really?”

Nodding earnestly, Charlotte said, “Yes.”

Watching the interaction between Charlotte and Anna, Joe’s mind suddenly stirred. Having a daughter seemed pretty good.

Imagining her calling him “Dad” softly and gently, a faint smile tugged at Joe’s lips.

At this moment, the dean arrived.

With a respectful expression, he said to Joe, “Mr. Smith, the young patient’s condition is no longer critical. It’s just a minor case of excessive blood loss, requiring a blood transfusion.”

Upon hearing the term “blood transfusion,” Charlotte’s face suddenly turned pale, as if something had struck her.

“Mr. Walker,” she raised her gaze to look at the dean, “I understand that giving my child a blood transfusion might be troublesome, but I still ask that you spare no effort to make it happen.”

Her expression was serious, causing Mr. Walker to falter momentarily. Her interruption disrupted the words he had intended to say.

Right after, Charlotte looked at Joe with a calm expression. “It seems I left my phone in your car. Could you do me a favor and fetch it?”

For the first time in a long while, Charlotte spoke gently to Joe.

Joe agreed and glanced at Anna, who was held in Charlotte’s arms.

After Joe left, Charlotte turned to Mr. Walker and spoke deliberately, “If I remember correctly, Mr. Walker, you’ve been working at this hospital for nearly ten years. Lately, the vice dean seems to be gaining much attention?”

Mr. Walker’s expression changed immediately.

There had indeed been some minor conflicts within the hospital’s management recently, and the vice dean seemed to be growing ambitious through some unknown connections.

Mr. Walker didn’t want to sit idly, which was why he personally came out to welcome Joe. However, he hadn’t expected that Charlotte would see through his intentions so clearly.

“I can assure you that you can securely stay in the position of the dean. I just don’t want any medical information about my child to be leaked. Do you understand?”

Charlotte’s cold gaze swept over, causing Mr. Walker to shiver involuntarily.

He forced a smile, his words carrying a hint of probing, “This hospital is, after all, under the Smith Family’s ownership. Miss Clinton, you see…”

Charlotte smiled faintly, “Choosing to cooperate with me doesn’t necessarily guarantee success. But not cooperating will certainly lead to failure.”

This was already a blatant threat. Mr. Walker’s face changed, and he was about to retort when he heard Charlotte continue calmly and unhurriedly, “After all, I am also one of the hospital’s shareholders.”

This statement left Mr. Walker with no room for doubt. He gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
