My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 885 She Means Everything To Me

She strode toward the meeting room hastily.

The sky outside boomed with thunder and lightning, casting a bright glow on her face, which bore a stern

expression.

Thud!

She pushed the door to the meeting room open.

Inside were the hospital director, Barney Hammer, the deputy director, Holger Sloth, and a few chief doctors from

various departments.

Ashlyn cast a cold look at Barney. “I want every doctor and nurse in this hospital gathered here immediately. I'm

heading to the disaster area, and anyone who wishes to accompany me may do so. Those who don't wish to come

along are welcome to stay here in the hospital.”

She cut to the chase without wasting any time.

Barney had been discussing this matter with the chief doctors and had no idea Ashlyn would come this quickly.

He soon regained his composure and asked, “Aren't you going to wait until tomorrow morning?”

“We have to leave now. South Star Airlines will send a plane to pick us up later.” Ashlyn's reply was curt. “The

medical supplies need to be ready by then. You'll be in charge of that, Dr. Hammer.” She then whipped out a bank

card and stuffed it into his hand. “There is one hundred million inside.”

Barney shivered. “One hundred million?”

That is a lot of money, isn't it?

“Lucas donated fifty million, and I donated the rest,” Ashlyn said, then glanced at Holger. “Inform the rest.”

Holger and the other doctors gaped incredulously at the shocking scene.

After all, one hundred million was a lot of money.

They couldn't believe she was generous enough to donate the money to buy medical supplies.

Holger was about to make the call when he heard Ashlyn talking to someone on the phone. “It's raining heavily all

over the country, so it is essential that we take necessary steps to avoid waterlogging in the already affected areas.

The downstream water levels will rise considerably, which in turn will have a domino effect on the upstream areas,

worsening the situation for the victims living there. It is essential that we act quickly and prepare in advance for any

potential flooding. We should send our team downstream to block the water and also notify the local government to

get ready with sandbags to avoid any further flooding.”

What did I just hear? Is she just a doctor? She's amazing! How did she come up with the idea of preventing floods

before they happen and preparing aid for those affected by the floods?

“I'll head back to my office now. Let me know when everyone has gathered,” Ashlyn said to Barney and the rest

after the call ended. She then turned to leave, leaving them no room to hesitate.

“Dr. Hammer, isn't Dr. Berry too...” Holger was still a little bewildered even after notifying all the doctors and nurses

to attend a meeting. “Why aren't you mad when she gave orders to everyone, including you?”

Barney shot him a glare. “Don't you know Mr. Nolan bought this hospital?”

“What?” Holger was close to tears. How could I forget such an important matter?

Barney glanced at Holger and pondered the fact that the latter was getting older. “Dr. Berry is our boss lady now.

Who else could possibly be better suited to make the decisions around here?”

The other chief doctors were completely taken aback by the remarkable display of self-assurance and

assertiveness demonstrated by Ashlyn earlier.

At that moment, in the small town of Xanfield in the southwest of the country, the earth below began to tremble

and shake, causing a low rumble that seemed to reverberate through the town.

A cacophony of thunderous crashes filled the air as items of furniture, decorations, and other household items

came crashing down onto the floor.

The homes in the town began trembling with tremendous force.

“It's an earthquake!”

“Earthquake!”

Various villagers were suddenly jolted awake by the commotion and hastily hopped out of their beds. They rushed

out of their homes hastily without even taking time to change out of their nightclothes.

Some villagers were still roaming around as they hadn't gotten around to going to bed yet.

Some were attempting to place phone calls, but with no success. It seemed that the catastrophic earthquake had

disrupted the signal, or some other unknown factor was at play. Unfortunately, their efforts were futile, as there

seemed to be no signal around.

The streets of the town were a sight to behold, with items and debris scattered all around. Many of the walls had

been partially destroyed, creating an unsettling atmosphere.

As the ground beneath them trembled, many people found themselves struggling to maintain their balance and

ended up tumbling to the floor.

Suddenly, a large crack emerged on the ground like a giant python, ready to consume anything in its path.

Someone screamed, “Holly! Holly! Holly fell into the crack!”

The village head was sobbing as he stopped Holly's father from going to her. “Let's go! We need to go now or risk

falling into the crack!”

“That's my daughter! My daughter!” Holly's father wailed in despair as a piece of concrete smashed into his calf,

sending a sharp pain up his leg. “If she's gone, I won't be able to live without her. She means everything to me!”
