To minimize the damage caused by Liam’s 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.

“Sorry, Mr. Hicks is currently engaged in medical research and is not available at the

moment.”

However, when they arrived at Loang Medical Council and stated the purpose of their visit,

they were told they wouldn’t get to meet Darius.

Suppressing his anxiety, Reginald inquired, “When will Mr. Hicks be available?”

“That’s unclear. Perhaps later tonight, or maybe tomorrow. You better return for now,”

They were ushered away by the staff.

Reginald and Mike had no choice but to board the car, feeling frustrated.

Mike asked, “Dad, what do we do now?”

Reginald sighed. “Unless Mr. Hicks intervenes, we have no way to minimize the damage.

Let’s go to the hotel for now and visit again tomorrow.”

With no other options, they had to settle for this. Mike smiled bitterly. “That son of mine,

he really lacks sense!”

Meanwhile, in a courtyard behind Loang Medical Council, Darius sat there, not engaged in

any medical research.

A middle-aged man beside him asked, “Mr. 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 won’t you see

them?”

Darius smiled faintly. “Blame it on them for offending the wrong person. So, let them

wait.”

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. “Dad, in Jadeborough, we’re 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?”

Over the past couple of days, Reginald had been keeping an eye on the group’s situation.

Alas, he didn’t know what to do either. “It’s all because of your son. Why did you raise

such a foolish child? Did he not use his brain when speaking to the media?”

Mike awkwardly replied, “Dad, didn’t you say it’s a lesson for Liam’s growth and advised

me not to scold him anymore?”

Reginald’s lips twitched as he remembered that he had indeed said that.

He couldn’t help but smile wryly. “If I knew secing Mr. Hicks would be this difficult, I

shouldn’t have stopped you from teaching him a lesson!”

“What do we do now? Mr. Hicks doesn’t seem to have time.”

“Let’s wait one more day. If Mr. Hicks is still unavailable tomorrow, we’ll return to

Jadeborough and think of another solution.”

It was evening in Jadeborough.

Liam sat in his office with a gloomy expression. He hadn’t returned home in two days, and

his eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he hadn’t 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 couldn’t be reversed, and he couldn’t stop it now.

Doing so would only cause him to be on the receiving end of the patients’ curses, resulting

in the downfall of Regi Group.

Beside him, Hailey cautiously spoke. “Mr. Sable, you haven’t rested for almost three days.

Why don’t you get something to eat and take a nap?”

Liam raised his eyes lightly. “Any news from my grandfather and father?”

Hailey replied, “I heard that Mr. Hicks is too busy, so Mr. Sable and Old Mr. Sable hadn’t

been able to meet him.”

Feeling a lump in his heart, Liam took a deep breath and asked, “What’s the situation

now?”

“The 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.”

Pausing for a moment, Hailey added, “In 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 can’t fulfill our commitment,

we should stop immediately!”

Taking a deep breath, Liam slammed his fist heavily on the table, ignoring the fact that his

fist got scratched.

“This devious scoundrel, Finnegan, it’s all his doing.”

Hailey’s red lips twitched, a subtle disdain crossing her eyes.

If you hadn’t stirred things up in the first place, how would you have ended up being

outmaneuvered by others?

Of course, Hailey didn’t dare to say these words out loud. “Mr. 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!”

Liam wore a gloomy expression, seemingly unconcerned about the pressure from the

group. “What has Finnegan been up to these past few days?”

Sighing deeply at Liam’s stubbornness, Hailey replied, “He has been taking care of his

parents in the hospital these past two days. He only leaves the hospital briefly during

meals.”

Liam sneered. “His whole family might be going to jail, and he can still be this relaxed?

That’s okay. though. Once this is over, I’ll make sure he doesn’t get to relax!”

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 wasn’t

fond of the hospital’s 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. “Another portion, please.”

Finnegan looked at her strangely and said, “You are really impolite. But how did you know I

was here?”

“Did you forget that I implanted a locator in your phone card?”

Without any hesitation, Romona started eating from Finnegan’s portion of food.

Finnegan didn’t mind this at all. “I’m seriously starting to wonder if you’ve fallen for me.

Isn’t this kind of tracking device something a girlfriend would put on her boyfriend?”

Romona scoffed, “Dream on. I would never like you.”

“Then why did you install a tracker on my phone card?”

“I felt like it,” Romona replied and stopped to look at Finnegan. “Also, why do you seem so

carefree? Even if you don’t 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!”

Thinking to himself that she lacked feminine charm, Finnegan averted his gaze and

accepted the meal the boss had prepared for him. “I’ll cross that bridge when I come to

it.”

After that, Finnegan didn’t speak again focused on his meal. Even when Romona tried to

start a conversation, he acted as if he didn’t hear her.

Halfway through the meal, Finnegan squinted his eyes Suddenly, he put down his bowl

and stood up. “Remember to pay the bill!”

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, “Scoundrel! I can’t believe he’s 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, I’ll come and beat you up!”
