Chapter 180: Plan B
Chapter 180: Plan B
The Torres Group donated several pieces of very expensive medical equipment to the hospital last year, so Tony treated Franklin with even more respect.
“Director, I’m really sorry for being late.”
“It’s okay. As long as we can save those children, I don’t mind waiting.”
After saying that, Tony looked behind Franklin.
“Didn’t you say that you would bring a doctor here to save these children?”
The hospital had endured a lot of pressure today. Ever since the disappearance of these children was announced by the police, many media outlets had blocked the entrance of the hospital today, waiting to interview them.
Many parents found their children in coma, so they had gone around asking for help and crying to the media.
The hospital had hired the most experienced and senior doctors to examine them, but they were unable to find out what the problem was. The hospital’s image was now in imminent danger.
Therefore, when Franklin said that he could save all these children, Tony agreed without hesitation.
“President Torres, where’s the doctor you brought?”
“Director, I didn’t bring you a doctor. I just brought someone who can save those children.”
After saying that, Franklin turned around and went back to the car to carry Lauren out.
Tony was stunned for a moment.
“President Torres…this Is?”
Before Franklin could introduce her, Lauren took the initiative to speak.
“Hello, Mr. Director. I am Lauren, President Torres’s sister.”
Franklin was amused by the self-introduction of Lauren.
“Oh okay, Lauren.”
Tony was a little confused about the current situation.
Wait a minute, she was Franklin’s younger sister?
Tony made a calculation of Lauren’s age. Mrs. Torres’ poor health back then was because she gave birth to this little girl.
Of course, this was not the most important thing right now.
Tony continued to look behind him. Lauren asked, “Mr. Director, what are you looking at?”
“I’m waiting for a doctor! Didn’t you say you were going to find someone for me?”
Franklin and Lauren looked at each other.
“Director, Lauren is the person I found.”
Upon hearing this, Tony was waiting for Franklin to continue saying, “I was just joking.”
However, he did not get to hear it.
Franklin was not joking.
But Tony didn’t want to believe it. Was this the miracle doctor that Franklin was talking about? The person who could save a child?
But this little girl was only four and a half years old. Her height wasn’t even as tall as a hospital bed. How could she save a child?
Franklin saw through Tony’s thoughts with a glance. He said, “Director, I’m not a careless person. Moreover, this matter concerns so many lives. So, I’m definitely not joking.”
Tony looked calm on the surface, but deep down, he could feel a surge of emotions.
‘Was he really not fooling around by letting a child treat a patient and save a life?’
“President Torres, this…”
“Director, since so many of your doctors can’t find the root of the problem, why don’t you let Lauren give it a try? Maybe she will succeed?”
‘What kind of ridiculous thing was this?!’
Tony thought to himself, ‘If Lauren really succeeded, then how embarrassed would these sixty-something-year-old medical professionals feel?’
Tony thought for a moment and decided to reject the proposal. After all, he was the director of this hospital, so he had to be responsible for these children.
It would be best if nothing happened. What if it backfired? What should he do?
Even if it meant offending the Torres Group, he still had to reject the proposal.
“President Torres, we really can’t do this. It’s too risky.”
At this moment, Franklin felt that Lauren had drawn a B on his palm.
They had made an agreement in the car that this B represented Plan B.
Since their proposal did not get through, they could only resort to other means.
After receiving Lauren’s signal, Franklin pulled the director to the side and said, “If that’s the case, then forget it. By the way, director, I’d like to talk to you about the donation of equipment this year.”
Tony was very happy to hear that. Although he couldn’t save these children tonight, it was still a good idea to get a few more high-end equipment for the hospital!
Therefore, he invited Franklin to his office.
“Franklin, I want to go to the toilet.”
“Then go ahead. I’ll wait for you in the office.”
Tony said, “You’re letting Lauren go to the toilet by herself? Why don’t I find a nurse to accompany her?”
“It’s alright. Lauren can take care of herself, right?”
Franklin looked at Lauren, who nodded her head firmly.
“Yes, Director. I can take care of myself.”
Tony smiled and nodded, “Sure, what a sensible girl. President Torres, Let’s move to my office.”
