Freya asked, “What’s the big deal?”
Neo gasped for breath and said, “Someone came to our hospital, wanting to use our artificial heart.”
Freya was momentarily stunned, then asked, “Who is this person?”
“A patient with congenital heart disease. He heard that someone had used our artificial heart and wants to use it too.” Neo looked at Freya urgently. “This is an opportunity.”
Freya knew it was indeed an opportunity.
“Go find out if this person really has a heart condition.”
After the incident with the hospital director, she had to be more cautious.
The artificial heart had not been officially used yet.
“I’ll go now,” Neo said, leaving in a hurry.
Truly a fleeting visit!
Freya looked for a caregiver from the hospital.
She needed someone reliable, good, and cost was not a concern.
After examining several candidates, she made a decision.
Linda, aware that Freya had arranged for someone to take care of her specifically, felt apologetic. “I’m troubling you with my illness, and now you’ve found someone to care for me. I…”
“Linda.” Freya held her hand. “How much help have you given me? Without you, would I have had time to work these days? Now that you’re ill, I should take care of you, but with matters at the hospital, I can only rely on caregivers. I already feel guilty, so please don’t be polite.”
“But I heard it costs eight hundred dollars a day. That’s too expensive, isn’t it usually around a hundred?”
Freya reassured her. “Expensive but reliable.”
Linda didn’t know what else to say.
She was just very grateful.
Freya genuinely took care of her, afraid she would offend the caregiver.
That’s why she went for an expensive option.
“Rest well, I’ll come see you later after work.”
“You go ahead, you go ahead.” Linda waved her hand. “You have a caregiver here, so you don’t have to worry.”
Freya instructed the caregiver to call her if needed, leaving her phone number before leaving.
She returned to the hospital.
Everyone was discussing the issue of someone wanting to use the artificial heart.
Upon seeing Freya, they gathered around.
“Director, have you heard? What’s your opinion?”
Freya said, “Without approval from higher-ups, we can’t use it on patients.”
Everyone fell silent.
With the director gone, it was a missed opportunity for a live advertisement.
The approval process shouldn’t have been so delayed.
Freya instructed them to get back to work.
She went back to tidy up her office.
Neo returned, bringing the patient’s medical records.
Indeed, the patient had a heart condition.
There was no other way to treat him.
So they wanted to give it a try.
In a desperate situation, they had to try everything.
Freya read the documents silently.
Neo said, “The patient mentioned that as long as we provide the artificial heart, they are willing to sign a guarantee. If anything happens, it’s not our responsibility.”
Freya asked, “Do you think it’s feasible?”
Neo hesitated.
Freya was not indecisive.
Why was she hesitating this time?
“The old director was targeted by someone, that’s why he died. We did our best to save him. You shouldn’t worry about it anymore.”
“I’m not worried, it’s the severe consequences. Without Elijah’s help…”
She couldn’t shake off this matter.
So she had to consider it carefully.
Neo furrowed his brow as he saw her packed belongings on the desk. “Why are you packing up?”
Freya looked at him. “Neo, I’m not hiding it from you. I want to resign.”
“Why?” He didn’t understand.
“Once the approval comes through and the artificial heart is used, why would you leave at that crucial moment?”
