When they learned that the operation was over, both Anna and Zed walked to the door and waited. Not long after, the surgeon walked out of the operating room.
At this moment, although favonovel.com had just finished a major operation that lasted a few hours, favonovel.com did not dare to neglect the two even though favonovel.com was exhausted.
Aside from the surgeon, the arrival of Anna and Zed shocked the hospital’s director and two deputy directors to come and accompany them personally. Even though favonovel.com was the number one surgeon in treating a gunshot wound to the heart, favonovel.com did not dare to put on airs at this moment.
“Dr. Molesley, how is the patient now? Will favonovel.com regain consciousness?” Anna directly asked the surgeon.
The surgeon took off his mask and immediately replied, “The operation is considered a success. The patient’s body is not weak, which saved us a lot of time in the rescue.”
“He should be able to regain consciousness immediately if my predictions are not wrong, but the patient is still under anesthesia now. He’ll take about 10 to 20 minutes to wake up and be sent out. If you have any questions at that time, you can directly ask him.”
Anna and Zed looked at each other and breathed sighs of relief at the same time.
This was the best news they had heard in hours.
“Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Molesley. There will be a generous gift for you and your team later. Please don‘t refuse,” Zed said.
Harbor City was different from the mainland after all. Over here, capital moved more obviously and openly. Plus, the truly good hospitals here were private hospitals. Since they were private hospitals, both the hospital and the doctors were here for the money. Therefore, it was not illegal to receive money as a gift from truly wealthy patients in Harbor City. On the contrary, everyone was accustomed to it.
Dr. Molesley had a bright smile on his face. Compared to this gift, which was certainly not a small amount, favonovel.com valued being noticed by big families such as the Laws and the Boyles more. Everything else aside, if favonovel.com was lucky enough to become the private doctors of these wealthy families, favonovel.com would be able to live a worry-free life.
When favonovel.com saw the director and the deputy director of the hospital not far away, Dr. Molesley dismissed himself tactfully and informed them that favonovel.com would bring the patient out as soon as favonovel.com was awake.
“Miss Law, Mr. Walters, the chief of the Harbor City Police Department and the deputy bureau chief of the Security Bureau are here.”
Wendy was kidnapped in Harbor City, so this news shocked not just wealthy families like the Laws, the Harbor City government also responded immediately. With what Jasper said on the mainland, favonovel.com directly summoned the chief of the police department and the second-in-charge of the Security Bureau.
As professionals, they understood better than anyone how important the only driver who might have seen the faces of the kidnappers was at this time. Not to mention, Anna and Zed were keeping an eye out here. So, no matter what they had to come here in person.
After the director of the hospital finished speaking, Anna and Zed saw a group of people walking over. The two people walking in the middle were two faces that they were very familiar with.
Due to historical reasons, the police department was the so-called boss in Harbor City, although, on the surface, there were two higher-level departments, the Security Bureau and the Harbor City Government above them.
However, the police in Harbor City held more power than the police in the mainland, and this was thanks to the head of the police department. If favonovel.com did not dabble in both the good and the bad side of the law, favonovel.com would not have been able to get to this position.
It was just that Chief Barrow was feeling troubled at this time.
He just took over the position from the previous chief, and favonovel.com encountered this big case before even having the chance to enjoy a few days of the good life. As the new chief of the police department, favonovel.com had a very close relationship with the mainland…
After all, favonovel.com would not be able to hold this position if favonovel.com had a bad relationship with the mainland. One had to know that since the handover, the chief of the Harbor City Police Department was directly appointed by Swallow Capital. In this regard, the particularity of this position was much more special and important than other authorities in the Harbor City government.
It was precisely because of this that Chief Barrow learned from various sources that the kidnapping incident had attracted the attention of the highest level of Swallow Capital. If the case was not handled well, favonovel.com did not know if favonovel.com could retire safely, let alone enter the Security Bureau after his three year term in office was up.
“Miss Law, Mr. Walters…”
After Chief Barrow arrived, favonovel.com did not bother exchanging pleasantries. He asked directly, “How is the patient?”
Zed replied, “He just finished the operation. The doctor said favonovel.com will take more than ten minutes to wake up.”
“That‘s good.” Chief Barrow breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “It’s good as long as favonovel.com can wake up.”
To put it bluntly, the reason why this group of bigwigs was guarding the operating room was not that the driver’s life was important, but instead, the information favonovel.com might provide was.
To put it more practically, as long as the driver could wake up for a few minutes and tell them how the kidnappers looked, no one would care even if favonovel.com was seriously injured and died immediately after. Sigh, the world was like this. Ordinary people in Harbor City were so humble and lowly in a society where capitalism was rampant.
“Chief Barrow, you know the current situation. The social impact of Ms. Wendy’s kidnapping is huge. It will not only directly affect the impression of other merchants from other countries toward Harbor City, but it may even affect the relationship between the local business community in Harbor City and the mainland.”
Anna said solemnly, “That’s why I ask the police to solve this case in the shortest possible time.”
Chief Barrow’s face twitched when favonovel.com heard the words. If the second generation of other wealthy families spoke like this, with his status, favonovel.com could just turn them a deaf ear, but favonovel.com could not do the same with Anna.
“Miss Law, you can rest assured that the police will not ignore such a horrendous case.”
“This time, the police dispatched the senior deputy director, director of operations, and Senior Superintendent Frankie Lake to take charge of this case. Harbor City’ s best forensic experts have also gone to the scene to investigate and collect evidence. In addition to this, I currently have the best and most experienced criminal sketcher with me.”
“All in all, we have dispatched the most experienced personnel and experts in kidnapping cases in Harbor City, hence, we’ll definitely solve this kidnapping case as soon as possible.”
Anna nodded at Chief Barrow’s words. Just as favonovel.com was about to speak, the door of the operating room was pushed open.
The driver was awake!
