To minimize the damage caused by Liamâs promise, Reginald and Mike took a flight, arriving in Durbaine around seven in the evening.
Without even having a meal, they proceeded directly to Loang Medical Council to meet Darius.
âSorry, Mr. Hicks is currently engaged in medical research and is not available at the moment.â
However, when they arrived at Loang Medical Council and stated the purpose of their visit, they were told they wouldnât get to meet Darius.
Suppressing his anxiety, Reginald inquired, âWhen will Mr. Hicks be available?â
âThatâs unclear. Perhaps later tonight, or maybe tomorrow. You better return for now,â
They were ushered away by the staff.
Reginald and Mike had no choice but to board the car, feeling frustrated.
Mike asked, âDad, what do we do now?â
Reginald sighed. âUnless Mr. Hicks intervenes, we have no way to minimize the damage. Letâs go to the hotel for now and visit again tomorrow.â
With no other options, they had to settle for this. Mike smiled bitterly. âThat son of mine, he really lacks sense!â
Meanwhile, in a courtyard behind Loang Medical Council, Darius sat there, not engaged in any medical research.
A middle-aged man beside him asked, âMr. Hicks, the Sable family from Jadeborough is among the top ten families in Nuthana, and they can be considered the top one hundred in Loang. Considering their involvement in the medical industry, why wonât you see them?â
Darius smiled faintly. âBlame it on them for offending the wrong person. So, let them wait.â
In the following two days, Reginald and Mike came to Loang Medical Council every morning, only to be told each time that Darius was unavailable.
Mike could no longer contain his frustration. âDad, in Jadeborough, weâre receiving almost fifty thousand patients every day. All medical staff are working tirelessly, and complaints are rising. In addition, due to the extended wait times, conflicts have arisen between medical staff and patients.
When will Mr. Hicks be available?â
Over the past couple of days, Reginald had been keeping an eye on the groupâs situation.
Alas, he didnât know what to do either. âItâs all because of your son. Why did you raise such a foolish child? Did he not use his brain when speaking to the media?â
Mike awkwardly replied, âDad, didnât you say itâs a lesson for Liamâs growth and advised me not to scold him anymore?â
Chapter 242 The Soaring Pressure On The Sable Family Reginaldâs lips twitched as he remembered that he had indeed said that.
He couldnât help but smile wryly. âIf I knew secing Mr. Hicks would be this difficult, I shouldnât have stopped you from teaching him a lesson!â
âWhat do we do now? Mr. Hicks doesnât seem to have time.â
âLetâs wait one more day. If Mr. Hicks is still unavailable tomorrow, weâll return to Jadeborough and think of another solution.â
It was evening in Jadeborough.
Liam sat in his office with a gloomy expression. He hadnât returned home in two days, and his eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he hadnât rested for a long time.
Finally, he began to regret.
He regretted using this method against Finnegan and regretted choosing to salvage his pride in front of the media, leading to the current situation.
If given another chance, he would cancel the free medical services, even if it meant being ridiculed.
But time couldnât be reversed, and he couldnât stop it now.
Doing so would only cause him to be on the receiving end of the patientsâ curses, resulting in the downfall of Regi Group.
Beside him, Hailey cautiously spoke. âMr. Sable, you havenât rested for almost three days. Why donât you get something to eat and take a nap?â
Liam raised his eyes lightly. âAny news from my grandfather and father?â
Hailey replied, âI heard that Mr. Hicks is too busy, so Mr. Sable and Old Mr. Sable hadnât been able to meet him.â
Feeling a lump in his heart, Liam took a deep breath and asked, âWhatâs the situation now?â
âThe situation is grim. Firstly, the healthcare system is on the brink of collapse. Secondly, the medical staff working round the clock are showing significant signs of resistance. Lastly, the long waiting times for patients have also led to resentment.â
Pausing for a moment, Hailey added, âIn addition, the media has changed its tone over the past two days, accusing Regi Group of acting recklessly and causing harm to others. The Department of Health sent a document stating that if we canât fulfill our commitment, we should stop immediately!â
Taking a deep breath, Liam slammed his fist heavily on the table, ignoring the fact that his fist got scratched.
âThis devious scoundrel, Finnegan, itâs all his doing.â
Haileyâs red lips twitched, a subtle disdain crossing her eyes.
If you hadnât stirred things up in the first place, how would you have ended up being outmaneuvered by others?
Chapter 242 The Soaring Pressure On The Sable Family
Of course, Hailey didnât dare to say these words out loud. âMr. Sable, Finnegan is indeed despicable.
But the most important thing now is to get through this difficult situation. Our medical system can last at most another two days!â
Liam wore a gloomy expression, seemingly unconcerned about the pressure from the group. âWhat has Finnegan been up to these past few days?â
Sighing deeply at Liamâs stubbornness, Hailey replied, âHe has been taking care of his parents in the hospital these past two days. He only leaves the hospital briefly during meals.â
Liam sneered. âHis whole family might be going to jail, and he can still be this relaxed? Thatâs okay.
though. Once this is over, Iâll make sure he doesnât get to relax!â
At the General Hospital, Finnegan was arranging a nutritious meal for Desmond. Only after ensuring that the still unconscious Quiana was fine did he leave the hospital. He wasnât fond of the hospitalâs nutritious. meals.
He found a restaurant near the hospital. Inside, he ordered two dishes and a soup.
However, as soon as the dishes arrived, Romona, dressed casually, appeared out of nowhere and sat down. âAnother portion, please.â
Finnegan looked at her strangely and said, âYou are really impolite. But how did you know I was here?â
âDid you forget that I implanted a locator in your phone card?â
Without any hesitation, Romona started eating from Finneganâs portion of food.
Finnegan didnât mind this at all. âIâm seriously starting to wonder if youâve fallen for me. Isnât this kind of tracking device something a girlfriend would put on her boyfriend?â
Romona scoffed, âDream on. I would never like you.â
âThen why did you install a tracker on my phone card?â
âI felt like it,â Romona replied and stopped to look at Finnegan. âAlso, why do you seem so carefree?
Even if you donât care about the Sable family, what about the Farrington family? I heard that Oswald is about to break through to the Absolute Rank of Terra Realm and leave seclusion!â
Thinking to himself that she lacked feminine charm, Finnegan averted his gaze and accepted the meal the boss had prepared for him. âIâll cross that bridge when I come to it.â
After that, Finnegan didnât speak again focused on his meal. Even when Romona tried to start a conversation, he acted as if he didnât hear her.
Halfway through the meal, Finnegan squinted his eyes Suddenly, he put down his bowl and stood up.
âRemember to pay the bill!â
Before Romona could react, he had already left the restaurant.
Romona blinked a few times, and when she regained her senses, Finnegan was nowhere to be seen.
Frustrated, she slapped the table, drawing the attention of nearby customers.
Unfazed, Romona muttered, âScoundrel! I canât believe heâs actually making a girl pay the bill. Where are his manners? And why run off like that? Is he rejecting me again? Just wait, after I finish eating, Iâll come and beat you up!â
