Chapter 742
Irene was still staring at the diagnosis report as she murmured softly, "How could this be...?"
So, Dennis was in a hurry to retire... because of his condition?
She was a heart surgeon who had been researching artificial hearts and knew best when it comes to heart
conditions.
While Dennis's malignant arrhythmia sounded less scary than heart failure, it was dangerous regardless!
Arrhythmia-especially malignant cases-posed danger because it meant the distortion of the heart's regular rhythm,
causing it to beat irregularly or just stop abruptly. Patients might suddenly lose consciousness out of the blue and
faint, which required emergency resuscitation right away or it would mean death!
And judging from the diagnosis data, Dennis's condition was very serious.
Benign cases or early discovery might be curable, but it was not the case for Dennis-all he could do was control the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsymptoms to control the symptoms.
But should the worst strike...
Irene found it ironic that Dennis would have a heart condition despite his research into curing heart diseases.
Still, she did her best to calm down, and she quickly did thanks to the composure she had as a medical professional.
She put the diagnosis report in a drawer, took a deep breath, and continued her work for the day.
Zachary Slate had his assistant, Juan, find him a new home near his office.
Although he paid someone to find Lulu Adams, he spent his and attention time at work to alleviate his yearning for
her.
After getting him a place to stay, Juan brought Zachary the keys. "Brocade Apartments is quite close by. It's quite
small, but the environment is nice."
"It's enough for myself, "Zachary replied, and nonchalantly put the keys in his drawer.
Also, there's an appointment with Mr. Watson in the afternoon at Gradient Hall," Juan added.
"Understood."
It was past 3 PM when Zachary arrived at Gradient Hall to discuss a partnership with Jeb Watson.
He was early, while Mr. Watson arrived after over ten minutes, and in the company of a beautiful woman.
Zachary recognized her, because it was Ember Lidnt!
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Jeb said, holding out a hand.
Zachary ignored Ember's presence right then and shook his hand. "I just arrived myself."
"This is my secretary," Jeb introduced Ember then.
Zachary merely gave her a slight nod without showing any recognition, as if she were a stranger.
Jeb and Zachary had met because of their business before, so the talk was pleasant, and they immediately signed
an agreement after coming to an understanding.
Zachary kept things brief, and excused himself soon enough.
Juan was darting looks from the rearview mirror as he drove, and spoke after hesitating for a while, "She's Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWatson's secretary in appearance only, sir... She's actually her mistress."
Zachary looked up coolly. "What does that have to do with me?"
"Even after all that, she was your wife-"
"Was." Zachary cut him short, refusing to listen to another word.
After the Lindts were destroyed and Peter Lindt jailed, it was understandable that Ember had to go that far just to
survive.
But no matter what she did, it had nothing to do with Zachary.
After returning to the office, Zachary had another meeting that lasted until the evening.
He ate something at the cafeteria then before resuming work.
It was past eleven when he took out his apartment keys, and he took the elevator down to the basement parking
lot.
The car's headlights flashed as he pressed on the button and he got in.
However, he had just driven to the exit when someone suddenly jumped in front of his car!
