Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Are You Sick?

In the hospital corridor, Tyler Hughes waited anxiously.

He glanced occasionally in the direction of the emergency room.

At that moment, at the end of the hallway, James Thompson and Jasper Winters hurried over.

James Thompson’s face was grim, with a chilling aura, "Where is Little Pear?"

Before Tyler Hughes could respond, Juliet Martin, standing nearby, interjected, "Boss, Little Pear has already been moved to a general ward."

Tyler Hughes looked at Juliet Martin in surprise, "No, the boss is still in the emergency room."

This woman must be sick.

James Thompson frowned and glanced at Juliet Martin, then turned to Tyler Hughes, "Where was Little Pear injured? What exactly happened?"

Tyler Hughes’s expression was also somber, "I’m not clear on the details yet, I only know the boss was knocked down in the bathroom at Pearwill Group, I haven’t had time to investigate what exactly happened."

At that moment, the doors of the emergency room opened, and the doctor came out, with James Thompson and Tyler Hughes immediately approaching.

The doctor removed his mask and spoke gravely, "Miss Land is no longer in life-threatening danger, she has been moved to the ICU, her rib was nearly driven into her lung, she needs to be observed in the ICU for several days to ensure there are no complications such as infection or further bleeding, and full recovery could take more than six weeks after the surgery."

After the doctor finished speaking.

A flicker of anger and concern flashed in James Thompson’s eyes, he turned to Jasper Winters and instructed, "Go find out what exactly happened."

Jasper Winters nodded.

Tyler Hughes pointed to Juliet Martin and her group, "Ask them, they should know."

Juliet Martin and her colleague were even more restless at this moment.

And she and another female colleague were baffled—wasn’t Elizabeth Shaw the boss’s wife?

Why does the boss seem to care more about someone else?

James Thompson and Tyler Hughes went to the ICU.

Jasper Winters asked Juliet Martin and her group to have a talk.

Standing at the doorway of the ICU, James Thompson looked through the glass window and saw Julia Land lying quietly on the hospital bed, her face pale, and felt a sting in his heart.

After a while, Jasper Winters returned, reporting in a low voice, "Boss, I’ve found out what happened..."

After listening, James Thompson’s expression turned cold, "Call the police."

Jasper Winters nodded, "I’ve already called them, for intentional assault."

The next day.

Julia Land’s fingers moved slightly, and James Thompson, who had not rested all night, immediately noticed.

He took her hand, his voice gentle and deep, "Little Pear, you are awake."

Julia Land slowly opened her eyes and saw James Thompson sitting by her bed, she moved slightly and felt the pain in her body, furrowing her brow.

James Thompson quickly explained, "Don’t move, just focus on recovering, it should get better in about six weeks, don’t worry."

A nurse walked into the ward and checked on Julia Land, then smilingly comforted, "The patient’s condition has stabilized, but she needs continued observation, please watch over her closely."

James Thompson was aware of Julia Land’s condition, but he still thanked the nurse.

Julia Land stayed in the ICU for three days before finally being transferred out.

Elsewhere.

Back in Capital City, Assistant Scott, aware of Julia Land’s incident, hurriedly tried to contain the news.

He adjusted the timing of the upcoming meetings and claimed externally that the chairman’s business trip was extended.

He was worried about the Moore Family causing trouble during Julia Land’s absence.

After moving to a regular ward, Julia’s condition gradually improved.

James Thompson stayed by her side every day.

Once Julia had regained some strength, she finally convinced James Thompson to let her handle some work matters.

Although she needed rest, the company also had a lot of urgent matters that needed attention.

She leaned on the bed, looking at the documents on the tablet.

James Thompson, feeling helpless, took the tablet away, "Little Pear, stop looking at the files for now, just rest, I’ll go through these with you later, is that alright?"

Julia Land smiled, "Okay."

While Julia Land was recovering, back in Capital City, Assistant Scott was extremely busy.

He had to handle the company’s daily affairs as well as deal with various small schemes by the Moore Family.

Seeing that Julia Land had been absent from the company for so long, the Moore Family had started to make their move.

Assistant Scott hurriedly called Julia Land to report the situation.

Julia Land nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, I will recover as quickly as I can and return to the company."

Assistant Scott spoke calmly, "Chairman, please rest assured and take good care of your health, although the Moore Family is making some moves, we have taken precautions."

While Julia Land was on the phone with Assistant Scott, James Thompson left the ward to fetch something.

Meanwhile, in a general ward.

Sophie Woods and a few colleagues were in the ward with Elizabeth Shaw.

"Little Pear, where’s your family? Why isn’t anyone taking care of you? How could they let you stay in a double room?"

Sophie Woods frowned—was the big boss being that stingy? Couldn’t he afford to spend a bit of money?

Elizabeth Shaw’s right hand was fractured, and she was not accustomed to using her left hand to eat. After hearing her friend’s words, she felt so helpless that she didn’t want to explain.

Sophie Woods took the bowl and spoon from Elizabeth Shaw, continuing to express her discontent, "I’ll feed you. This is just improper. No matter how busy he is, it shouldn’t be this way, especially with the severity of your injury."

Elizabeth Shaw held her forehead with her good hand, "There’s no him, only you."

Sophie Woods gave her a look, "Always the smooth talker."

Sophie Woods and the others stayed in the ward for about fifteen minutes before leaving, as the other patient in the room needed rest.

"I really didn’t expect the boss to be so frugal to let Elizabeth Shaw stay in a general ward."

"Look, isn’t that the boss? He must be here to see Elizabeth Shaw," one of the colleagues whispered, pointing ahead.

Sophie Woods followed the direction pointed and sure enough, it was the boss, but he seemed to be heading in the wrong direction.

"You guys go on ahead, I have something to do," Sophie Woods said, and then quickly sped up to follow James Thompson.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Sophie Woods caught up and rushed inside.
