Chapter 290: Mr. Farrell, I am Lily Ward
Logan smiled broadly upon seeing her, his discomfort seemingly vanished. “Seeing you makes all my pain disappear!”
“You child, you performed surgery on me yesterday and came to see me today. You are so thoughtful and kind-hearted. Having you as my granddaughter-in-law is a blessing from my past life!”
He praised Tina endlessly. Arthur, standing nearby, looked displeased but dared not say anything. Thanks to Tina, he was now a security guard at the company, and going to work felt like a daily punishment.
“Who wouldn’t agree?” Marie held Tina’s hand with a proud smile. “Jared is so lucky to have found such a treasure! I don’t know where he got such good fortune!”
Jared Farrell emerged from the crowd and immediately noticed Lysander trailing behind Tina like a shadow. Since the banquet, this kid had been following Tina everywhere, even coming to the Reed family and now to the hospital.
“Tina.”
He walked up and hugged Tina, pretending to be tired. “I’m so sleepy.”
Tina smiled. “I’ll get you something to eat later as a reward!”
Jared Farrell, “…”
Suddenly, he wasn’t sleepy anymore!
“Enough,” Muff couldn’t stand it any longer and glared at Jared Farrell with a light cough. “What does it look like pulling and tugging in public? Tina hasn’t even married you yet!”
Despite his severe injuries and recent surgery, Logan was full of energy and jumped in to defend them. “Muff, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to upset me?”
“Tina is our Farrell family’s daughter-in-law; that’s an unchangeable fact! If you dare oppose it, I’ll fight you!”
Logan Farrell seemed ready to leap out of bed. Marie quickly held him down. “Dad, your wounds haven’t healed yet; please don’t get angry.”
He didn’t seem like someone who had just undergone surgery; even young people couldn’t compare.
“Grandpa,” Tina calmed him down and shifted the topic to serious matters. “We have caught the person who attacked you. Although he took poison, I administered an antidote, and he should wake up soon.”
Jared Farrell raised his eyes slightly and continued, “Once he regains consciousness, we will know who targeted you.”
Logan had already guessed most of it. “No! They wanted to kill you, not me!” His aged eyes scanned everyone present as he spoke calmly. “I just happened to be in your car by accident.”
Logan then looked at Tina. “Girl, the person targeting Jared is from the Farrell family, right?”
Although they hadn’t identified the exact culprit yet, given the current situation, there was an eighty percent chance it was someone from the Farrell family.
Tina nodded. “Possibly.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone had different reactions. Vivienne’s face changed slightly as she lowered her head to hide her panic.
“Tina! What do you mean by that?” Hazel couldn’t hold back her anger and crossed her arms with resentment. “Are you saying one of us wants to harm him?”
Her anger wasn’t just directed at Tina but also at Jared Farrell for supporting her.
“No one wants anything bad to happen to him! We may not be taking care of him day and night, but we all wish for his quick recovery. Don’t try to sow discord among us!”
Jasper frowned in displeasure at Hazel’s rude words. “Tina only said they caught Logan’s attacker; she didn’t accuse anyone here specifically. There’s no need for such anger.”
The more agitated Hazel became, the more guilty she appeared. Frustrated by Jasper’s implication, she turned her head away.
Tina observed everyone’s expressions closely without missing any details.
“Alright,” Logan waved his hand and lay back down. “Leave the interrogation to Tina and Jared; the rest of you don’t need to worry.”
“I trust they’ll give me a satisfactory answer. I’m tired and want to rest now; you all can go.”
He then immediately changed his tone and grabbed Tina’s hand. “Tina, stay and chat with this old man.”
Logan Farrell’s favoritism was obvious; although it displeased many in the Farrell family, they were helpless against it.
Everyone reluctantly left the room while Tina stepped out into the corridor to take a call.
“What’s the situation?”
On the other end of the line, Cole Lyon sounded somewhat helpless. “We can’t find any other traces; they were very thorough. Once captured, they took poison to avoid leaving any clues.”
“Keep investigating,” Tina said coldly. “Don’t overlook any leads.”
“Understood,” Cole Lyon replied.
“How is that person?” Tina asked.
“Currently stable,” Cole Lyon answered.
After taking Serena’s antidote pill, the person’s poison was suppressed, and their vital signs stabilized.
However, they remained unconscious.
“Alright! I understand,” Tina said expressionlessly.
They still needed a few medicinal herbs for complete detoxification.
In the hospital’s pharmacology department, Lily Ward was chatting with some doctors she knew.
She had come to this hospital for some matters and heard about Logan’s situation. She decided to visit him with a fruit basket.
“You have no idea how amazing the surgeon who operated on Mr. Farrell is! In my twenty years of practice, I’ve never seen anyone suture wounds so perfectly!”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“Her hands were unbelievably steady! Cutting so close to the heart made me nervous just watching! Very few people could perform such a surgery!”
Lily Ward couldn’t help but feel curious about Logan’s surgery after hearing their excited discussions. “Who was this surgeon you’re talking about? Do I know them?”
Everyone shook their heads. “She’s not employed by our hospital; she was specially invited from outside.”
“Her skills are extraordinary-definitely above yours, Lily! It’s a pity you missed that surgery; otherwise, you could have learned a lot!”
Lily Ward could tolerate many things but never accepted anyone questioning her medical skills.
She prided herself on her medical expertise; no one could surpass her because she came from a prestigious background.
Making an excuse to leave, Lily Ward headed towards Logan’s room with her fruit basket.
Just as she reached the door, she bumped into Jared Farrell and smiled warmly. “Mr. Farrell, you’re here too.”
Worried he might not remember her again, Lily Ward added quickly, “I am Lily Ward, head of TIC Research Institute.”
