Chapter 1084
When Ethan got to the hospital, he saw Joel looking very troubled.
“How is he, Mr. Tucker?”
Joel shook his head. “It’s not looking good. All the best doctors are looking at him. The bullet hit right below his heart. It is a very
dangerous spot.
“We can still keep him alive with the bullet in him, but if there are any mistakes when extracting the bullet, he will die on the spot. He is
currently unconscious.”
“Do we know who shot him?”
“We don’t know yet. Keeping Mr. Mason alive was our top priority. Yale just got here, too.”
“With Mr. Mason in this state, he wouldn’t be able to see him even if
he came.” Ethan snorted.
“That’s true. I just wanted to tell you one thing. There is still one
person in the world that could perform that surgery.
“You have to find him before Yale. It would help you greatly in the election if you save Mr. Mason’s life.”
“Who is it?”
“The famed cardiovascular specialist Lionel Gatsby.”
Ethan frowned. “Isn’t he retired? How do I find him?”
“You have to find him no matter what, and you only have two days to do so. I can only keep Mr. Mason alive for two more days.
“Your rivalry with Yale has reached a crucial stage. If he finds Lionel before you do, he will gain Mr. Mason’s support and emerge
victorious.”
There were only two days.
According to hearsay, Lionel went off the grid after he retired. Ethan
had been looking for him in the past year but to no avail.
“Understood. I will go take a look at Mr. Mason.”
Krystal was crouching on the floor and crying profusely in the corridor. An elegant middle-aged woman sat beside her.
“Stop crying.”
“Mom, do you think Dad is already dead?”
“Stop that nonsense. Why would he die? Some of the best specialists. are treating him right now.”
Yale, who was sitting next to them, said gently, “Don’t worry, Krystal, Mr. Mason will surely survive. He won’t go down so easily.
“You don’t have to worry too much either, Mrs. Heath. I will find Dr.
Gatsby.”
“I’ll leave that to you then, Yale.”
As she was crying, Krystal saw Ethan coming over. She rushed
toward him and jumped into his arms. Ethan pushed her away
discreetly.

“I’m sorry for being late, Mrs. Heath.
“It’s nice to see you, too, Ethan. Mason is…”
“I’ve heard about it. Don’t worry, I’ll save him.”
“I’m glad to hear you say that. You and Yale have to find Dr. Gatsby as
soon as possible.”
Ethan and Yale left at the same time.
Yale had a courteous smile on his face. “I’m very curious. Where are
you going to find Dr. Gatsby?”
“Seems like you think you have this in the bag?”
Yale stopped in his tracks and whispered, “Ethan, luck won’t always be on your side. It’s time for fortune to smile on me for once.”
“We’ll see about that.”
Ethan left with brisk strides. Kelvin and Brent followed him. “What’s
the situation, Mr. Miller.”
“Look into how Mr. Mason got shot. I feel like something’s amiss.”
“Are you suspecting Yale?”
Ethan saw the confidence on Yale’s face. It was like he already knew
where Lionel was.
“This is not the time to talk about that. Brent will work on looking for
Lionel. Kelvin, do some probing on this assassination attempt.”
“Understood. What would you be doing, Mr. Miller?”
Lionel wasn’t the best cardiovascular specialist in the world. It might be true that he used to be the best. But he had retired for a few years.
He was old and hadn’t used a scalpel in a long time
Mason’s life was hanging in the balance
Ethan knew that Olivia had performed a heart surgery last year, which garnered international attention
Olivia was the better choice for this!
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
