Chapter 48 - Panic.
Chapter 48 – Panic.
Unfortunately, Sophia chose to be in the canteen. She asked Chloe to hand over her learning kit to the event committee.
Campus canteen.
"Is everything ready?". Ask Sophia to her team.
"Everything is ready!". Answer all the teams at the same time.
"Good, thank you for working so hard!". Sophia became happy and hoped that everything would go well without any problems.
Too bad Vio couldn't attend the event because she was hospitalized due to exhaustion.
Without realizing it was already 12 noon.
Sophia and her team were ready to wait for the arrival of important guests.
Then Michael and the Minister were seen walking towards the super-luxury canteen while chatting.
Sophia took a deep breath when she saw Michael who was almost there. However, she tried to remain calm so that her nervousness would not show.
"Welcome to this best canteen!". Sophia said, which was followed by all her comrades.
Michael carved a small smile on his lips when he saw how nervous Sophia was.
Michael knows too well how Sophia's character is, therefore he can tell what Sophia is feeling just by looking at her gaze.
"She is always beautiful in every situation even though she doesn't use make-up. She is the woman who has turned my mind upside down". Michael thought.
Everyone in the cafeteria couldn't help but steal Michael's attention. However, those beautiful eyes could not be separated from the woman he loved so much.
"Thanks for the welcome!" The minister said in a friendly manner.
"You're welcome. Then, please follow me!". After that, Sophia took her guests to a large round table that was already filled with famous specialties.
"Please enjoy the dish, Mr. Minister!". Sophia said in a soft voice.
"Once again, thank you!". After that, they all sat down and ate the dishes that Sophia and her team had prepared.
Sophia and her partner were standing not far from their guest's dining area.
Even though he couldn't bear it, Michael couldn't do anything to prevent Sophia from standing by waiting for the guests to finish eating. Because Michael knew that Sophia would not like it if he showed his caring attitude in front of the crowd.
A few minutes later.
Suddenly the minister coughed while holding his chest after chewing his food.
Everyone panicked, the guards immediately approached the Minister.
"Is the minister all right?". Michael asked a little anxiously.
Before he could give Michael an answer, the minister fainted and almost fell from his chair. Fortunately the guards immediately restrained his body so it didn't touch the floor.
"Mr Minister…"
Everyone in the cafeteria panicked, a commotion started.
Several high-ranking foundation officials and lecturers gave Sophia a sharp look as the team leader.
"Immediately take the minister to the hospital!". Michael said after checking the minister's pulse.
The guards immediately rushed to take the minister's body out of the campus.
"Yeah, what's this?". Sophia asked her team in a panic.
"Don't panic yet! We'd better go to the hospital to find out the answer!".
"Yes, you are right!".
After that, Sophia and several lecturers immediately followed the minister to the hospital.
"Oh my god… I hope the Minister is fine!". Sophie thought with hope.
W Group Hospital.
Not long after, they all arrived at the House. The Minister was immediately rushed to the ER.
The guards stood guard in front of the emergency room anxiously because if anything happened to the minister they would be affected.
"We will investigate this incident, please help!". The head of the guard said to Michael who had been standing unsteadily because he knew that the person in charge of the event in the cafeteria was Sophia.
"Certain". Michael said after a long silence.
"Then, we will find out who is in charge of the event". After that, they walked over to Sophia and her co-workers who were gathered in the same place.
Director Emma and the vice chairman of the Foundation began to worry when they saw the head guard's expression.
Michael clenched his fists because he was so worried about Sophia.
"Which one of you is responsible for providing food for us?". Asked the head of the bodyguard while looking at everyone in turn.
"I am in charge". Sophia boldly came forward because she felt that there was nothing wrong with the food she had prepared.
"Then you must come with me to the police station now to investigate!".
Everyone was shocked including Sophia, her hands were shaking when she heard the chief mention the police station.
"I'm not wrong, therefore I must calm down!". Sophia thought while taking a light breath.
Meanwhile, Michael begins to lose his cool.
"Wait a minute! You can't just take her to the police station just like that, because this country has its own rules. Investigate the food first, then we will determine the next step". Michael said after he stood between Sophia and the head guard.
Sophia was surprised while looking at Michael's shoulder who was standing in front of her.
"Michael"… Sophia thought with her eyes starting to tear up.
"But sir…"
Before he could continue his speech, suddenly the emergency room door opened.
They all rushed to the doctor.
"How is the minister, doctor?". Michael asked in a deep voice.
"Yes doctor, was he poisoned? or is there something else!". The head guard was very impatient.
"No poison". The doctor replied curtly.
"Then what happened to him?" Michael asked again after heaving a sigh of relief.
"The minister has an aortic rupture in his heart, and it's type A which can cause death in two or three hours if an operation is not performed immediately. The symptoms are not visible because they can appear suddenly." Obviously the doctor.
"Then immediately do the operation, doctor!". Michael ordered firmly because he didn't want anything worse to happen.
The doctor was silent for a moment.
"We could have done the operation right now, but we have a problem. This operation is very difficult and can cause death at any time. Besides that, we have never had this operation. Moreover, doctors who are experts and experienced in the field of heart are not here, he can only come back one more week". The doctor said after a long silence.
Michael was disappointed that the hospital under the W Group had a shortage of cardiologists, which was a shame.. He also plans to reset the hospital system after this incident.
