Chapter 1142
Natalie was so taken aback by her response that she didn’t know what to say.
Silas leaned in close and whispered into her ear, “Madam, I think she’s been watching too much television. Her behavior seems a little abnormal if you ask me.”
Yeah, Ms. Rivers does seem to be acting rather strange… Her attitude and choice of words remind me of those prideful and headstrong female protagonists from soap operas!
Of course, Natalie kept those thoughts to herself and simply shot Silas a warning glare before smiling at Lucy as she said, “All right. I’ll refrain from insulting your integrity, then. As I said, Ms. Rivers, I am grateful to you for saving my husband, and I am willing to repay your kindness. You can take some time to think it over and give me a call if something comes to mind. That phone number I called you with last night is my personal number.”
Natalie then turned around and walked back to the room after saying that.
“Who on earth are you guys?” Lucy asked as she ran after her.
“You’ve probably seen articles online about Thompson Group’s chairman going missing in the past few days, right? Well, that’s my husband!” Natalie replied without breaking her stride.
Lucy’s eyes went wide in shock.
Oh, my god! He really is the chairman of Thompson Group! I knew there couldn’t possibly be two people who looked exactly the same! Wow… This man is the chairman of Thompson Group, the husband of such a beautiful wife, and the father of a pair of twins…
While I am upset that my theory of him being the twin brother of Thompson Group’s chairman has been proven to be wrong, I can’t help but feel a little excited at the same time. I mean, he’s the freaking
chairman, so he has got to be super rich, right? If we were a couple, would these people address me as “madam” like they do with this woman over here? This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucy’s heart raced at the thought of that. A hint of greed flashed in her eyes as she stared at Natalie from behind, but she kept it hidden from everyone else.
“If he’s the chairman, then why did you guys release a video claiming he wasn’t missing?” she asked with her hands clasped.
“That’s a trade secret. You’d be wise to not pry into that, Ms. Rivers,” Silas replied with a warning tone before Natalie could even say anything in response.
Lucy bit down on her lip in displeasure.
What the hell? These people are being so rude just because they’re rich!
Noticing the furious look on Lucy’s face, Natalie simply flashed her a mysterious smile before making her way toward the doctor.
“How is he, doctor?” she asked worriedly.
“Mr. Thompson is fine. He has yet to regain consciousness due to a blood clot in his head. I heard he was treated in a small hospital before. Is that correct?” the doctor said while putting away his medical instruments.
Natalie nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”
The doctor let out a sigh. “No wonder they weren’t able to treat him… Small hospitals are inadequately equipped and therefore unable to perform most surgeries. Had he been sent to a larger hospital, they would’ve been able to break up that blood clot through the use of ultrasound, and he would’ve regained consciousness long ago.”
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief in knowing that Shane would be all right once they get him treated at a hospital in the city.
Silas shot Lucy a fierce glare and scolded her, “We’re grateful to you for saving Mr. Thompson, but you taking him to a small hospital has resulted in his delayed treatment!”
Lucy clenched her fists and snapped back at him loudly, “What choice do I have? Large hospitals cost too much! I can’t afford to get him treated there!”
Silas sneered. “I’m sure you would know best whether you couldn’t do so or refused to do so, Ms. Rivers. Even if you don’t have the money for the treatment, Mr. Thompson does. He may not have his phone on him, but he does have his wallet! Even if he had lost his wallet, his watch and tie clip are all worth way more than the hospital could charge you for!”
Lucy was shocked when she heard that.
His belongings are worth that much money?
“Also, the way you saved him is also wrong, Ms. Rivers,” Silas added.
