Although Ally’s performance seemed convincing, Leo saw through her at a glance. She cried loudly on the surface, but her eyes showed no trace of sadness.
Besides, which mistress of a wealthy man isn’t after money?
“You’re talking nonsense!” Ally was hit where it hurt and immediately became furious. “You country bumpkin, you’re asking for it! Someone, slap him for me!”
As Giovanny’s wife, the bodyguards naturally had to follow her orders. They quickly surrounded Leo, ready to strike.
“Let’s see who dares!” Noel raised his head proudly, his voice icy cold. “Don’t you know where you are? Believe me, I can have each and every one of you arrested!”
His words carried an air of dominance. This was Langstel, his territory, and no one else had the right to act arrogantly here!
The bodyguards immediately stopped in their tracks, not daring to make a move. After all, if Noel gave a casual command, they would likely be expelled from Langstel.
Ally’s spirit wavered when Noel shouted at her. She looked at him resentfully and coldly said, “Mr. Fox, if anything happens to my husband as a result of the incident in Langstel, you will bear the main responsibility, won’t you?”
“There’s no need for you to say that!” Noel turned to Leo and said, “Dr. Bloomer, would you like to go in and take a look first?”
“Wait a moment. Let them remove the glass shards and give Mr. Guzman a blood transfusion,” Leo replied.
As soon as Leo finished speaking, the doors to the emergency room were pushed open with a bang.
A masked doctor rushed out in a hurry and said to Noel, “Mr. Fox, it’s not good. The patient… the patient has passed away!”
“What?!” Noel trembled, feeling his vision blur for a moment. He staggered and almost fell.
“Mr. Fox!” Ronald quickly supported Noel, his heart filled with deep sorrow.
He knew that Giovanny’s death would be a heavy blow to Langstel. If news of his death while investing in Langstel spread, how many people would dare to invest in the city again?
“Mr. Fox, we did our best…” Steven Herrera, the head of surgery at Langstel City Hospital, came out with other doctors, his face filled with guilt.
“Honey, I’m sorry!” Ally’s heart was filled with wild joy, but she immediately put on a sorrowful expression. She threw herself to the ground, crawling and crying out in a hoarse voice. It seemed like she was in unbearable pain.
“Do you think you can revive him?” Leo glanced coldly at the scheming Ally and asked Steven.
Steven didn’t recognize Leo and nodded in response. He then turned to Noel and said, “Mr. Fox, we did everything we could. Unfortunately, the patient arrived too late, and the wound was too complicated to treat. Even if the top surgeons from the Riceland Medical Research Society were here, it would be in vain.”
“If he has just passed away, I can try, there might still be hope,” Leo suddenly said something astonishing.
The people present were astonished and looked at Leo in disbelief.
This was a surgery room, and many people were not familiar with Leo. They thought he was talking nonsense.
The person had already passed away, how could he be revived?
Although the doctors didn’t believe it, they didn’t say much when they saw Leo standing beside Noel.
“Dr. Bloomer, can you really save him?” Noel, after recovering from his shock, grabbed Leo’s arm. “Hurry, go!”
Leo nodded and quickly walked towards the emergency room.
“No, I can’t let you touch my husband!” Ally, who was sobbing on the ground just moments ago, immediately got up and grabbed Leo. She then stood in front of him, her face contorted in a fierce expression. “It’s because of you, you bastard, that my husband died. Now that he’s already dead, you want to disturb his peace? No way!”
In reality, she didn’t believe that Leo could save Giovanny. After all, Steven had just said that Giovanny had passed away.
But a person had just died, and it was uncertain if it was a false death or not.
So Ally couldn’t take any risks and had to delay as much as possible, making Giovanny die completely.
“Mrs. Guzman, calm down. Dr. Bloomer is highly skilled. Let him give it a try. There might still be hope,” Noel hurriedly came over to persuade her.
He didn’t know what Ally was thinking, so he tried his best to appease her emotions.
The more he said this, the more agitated Ally became. She tightly gripped the handle of the emergency room door with both hands and hoarsely said, “As long as I’m here, he won’t be able to touch my husband with a single finger!”
“If you don’t step aside, I won’t be polite!” Leo coldly reprimanded, his eyes icy and his aura intimidating.
Ally trembled uncontrollably from Leo’s reprimand, feeling panicked and instantly losing her previous momentum.
But when she saw the surrounding doctors, she immediately had an idea and cried in grievance, “With so many people here, isn’t there anyone who will stand up for me?”
“To say something so absurd, claiming to be able to bring someone back to life in front of so many doctors in the hospital, not only insults the medical profession but also shows great disrespect for my deceased husband!”
It must be said that Ally’s intelligence and emotional intelligence were still quite high. With just a few simple sentences, she managed to sway the crowd to her side.
No wonder she was able to successfully replace Giovanny’s legitimate wife and rise to power.
“That’s right, how could a person come back to life after death? It’s simply a fantasy!”
“He doesn’t even consider us important. Even if our medical skills are lacking, we can at least tell the difference between life and death, right?”
“That’s right, who does he think he is? Even if his medical skills are exceptional, he doesn’t need to insult us like this!”
The emotions of the onlookers were instantly stirred up, especially a group of surgeons who were particularly agitated, feeling greatly insulted.
“Shut up, all of you!” Noel angrily shouted.
Although he didn’t believe that Leo could bring Giovanny back to life, it was the only option now. He had to take the risk and let Leo give it a try.
“Mr. Fox, think carefully,” Ronald suddenly approached and whispered in Noel’s ear.
“Now that the person has died, there is a fundamental difference from the rescue efforts before death. If you insist on letting Dr. Bloomer treat him under these circumstances, once it fails, both you and Dr. Bloomer will be in the center of the storm.”
“Insulting the deceased is a serious accusation, and its consequences can be significant, especially considering the special status of you and Giovanny. Once it spreads, it may trigger a huge public backlash throughout Atraria!”
Ronald explained the stakes with a mix of anxiety and unease.
He only mentioned the consequences of failure and didn’t mention what would happen if it succeeded because in his opinion, success was simply impossible!
