Michael insisted that Elena go back to school for her class that afternoon. Elena knew that if she had not agreed, the man would not let the doctors treat his wounds. So Levi sent Elena to the car and watched the driver take her away before he rushed back to the operating theater. However, he was surprised when the doctor told him that there was no need for surgery.
They were in the medical room just outside the operating theater, and the doctor sutured Michael’s wound there. However, the patient had already sat up and scrolled through the news on his mobile phone. Had he not been semi-conscious just moments before that? Levi remembered that he could not even walk on his own. Why did he look so energetic while the doctor stitched his wound? It seemed as if the pain did not bother him at all, and he did not even need any anesthetic. He looked to be engrossed with the news on his phone.
“Are you sure that she had left?” Michael asked when Levi entered the room.
“Yes, she’s gone.” Levi was still in a daze.
Levi looked at the eldest young master’s eyes again. They appeared to be as stern and as cold as usual! Suddenly, it seemed like realization dawned upon him. The eldest young master had ordered him to walk the young madam to the car not because he was worried about the young lady, but he was afraid that the young madam would return to the hospital room! Had the eldest young master been acting?
When Michael issued an order to Levi, it had confirmed that his suspicions were right.
“Get some people to investigate why the settlement fee of a hundred thousand dollars per person was reduced to only a hundred thousand dollars per household.
“Who is working on this project?
“Don’t alert the person who’s handling the project; don’t let him know that our people are investigating this matter.
“Also, send some people to the police station. Don’t put those residents in a difficult situation. It’s obvious that someone is stirring up problems among those residents. Find out who they are!”
Levi was so flabbergasted that he almost could not remember what the eldest young master had said.
“Is there any problem?” Michael shot a cold gaze at Levi.
“No, no problem at all. I’ll take care of this immediately.” Levi answered sullenly.
Levi had spent so many years with the eldest young master, and he did not even know that he had such an exceptional skill! Michael’s acting had almost deceived Levi!
As soon as the young madam had left, the eldest young master immediately reverted to his usual calmness and composure. That was the real Michael. How could a small brick hurt him and made him so vulnerable? Finally, it resolved all of Levi’s doubts.
“Then, Eldest Young Master Williams, shall I make adjustments to the medical records?”
The eldest young master looked fine, but the young madam might rush to the hospital after her class. Levi was afraid that the eldest young master could not keep up with his acting. They might need to prepare something to cover the lie.
After some consideration, Levi asked, “Well, what about a brain concussion?”
Michael’s eyes darkened, but he thought about it, he said, “Go to the finance department and get a bonus from them.”
“Yes, of course! After I wrap this up, I’ll go right away!”
Levi was so excited that he thought that he could fly. He felt as if he was on top of the world.
“Doctor, I assume you know what to do?”
“Yes, I know.”
…
Elena did not want to go back to school. Even though she had classes, she was reluctant to leave Eldest Young Master Williams when he was severely injured. However, the eldest young master had insisted that Levi sent her to the car personally. She was a little puzzled by his behavior.
Even though she was in class, she could not pay any attention to the lecture at all. She could barely hear the topic that the lecturer had explained. She was worried about Eldest Young Master Williams’s condition. She had called Levi, but he told her that Michael was still in surgery. Why would it take so long to fix the small wound on his forehead? Did they find other injuries?
She was so anxious that she ran out of the campus immediately after her class ended. Levi told her that he had prepared a car for her. True enough, she spotted the vehicle as soon as she went out through the back entrance. While they were on the way to the hospital, she made countless phone calls to Levi, and he told her that the eldest young master had been transferred to the regular ward. However, Levi also mentioned that he seemed weak. When Elena arrived at the hospital, Levi was already waiting for her at the parking garage.
Levi immediately greeted her as she got down from the car, “Young Madam, you are finally here.”
“How is he? Is everything okay with him?” Elena asked as she walked to the elevator with Levi.
“Everything is fine, but he seemed to be in low spirits.”
Levi chose his words carefully. “He doesn’t like the medical team, and so he has been unwilling to take any medicines or injections…”
Well, that was a fact. The doctor had wanted to use a drip to help to reduce the chances of inflammation, but Michael had refused it. The eldest young master had always hated the sight of needles, and everyone in the Williams household knew about it.
Levi took the opportunity to complain to Elena. “The nurse wanted to give him an injection, but he almost made the nurse cry from his scolding.”
“When did he scold them?”
It did seem like an exaggeration, so Levi decided to change his statement. “Well, it was not like he needed to use words. All he had to do was stare at them, and that was enough to make the nurse cry.”
That sounded about right. Eldest Young Master Williams had quite scary gazes and stares.
However…
“Didn’t you say that he wasn’t feeling well after he came out of the operation room and that he was dizzy? How could he possibly scare someone else?”
“Uh…” Did he say that?
Levi patted his head as he quickly explained, “Well, his condition had fluctuated so much since he came in. Sometimes he was good, and sometimes he was not. He was a little uncomfortable and dizzy most of the time.”
“Was it serious?”
“It’s serious. I’ll bring you to him now.”
Levi thought that it was best to let the eldest young master handle the rest. He was quite lousy at deceiving innocent young women.
As they entered the elevator, he secretly took out his mobile phone and sent a message. [Young Madam is coming up.]
…
Henry was in the ward, and he stared at the man who was busy working on his laptop on the hospital bed.
“This project was handled by Fifth Brother. He had always been cautious and acted fairly in his dealings. It is impossible for him to do such things that could damage Williams Corporation’s interests.”
Even though Henry was not close to the fifth young master, Porter, he knew that he had always done an excellent job. It was not like him to create such a huge mess.
“Someone might have taken advantage of the loophole, and Fifth Brother knew nothing about it.,”
“It doesn’t matter whether he knew about it or not; he still has to handle this matter personally.”
When the mobile phone showed a notification, Michael checked on it, and then he immediately stowed the laptop away.
They could hear Levi’s loud voice from outside the room. “Young Madam, the eldest young master is not willing to take his medication. Would you please persuade him?”
Henry was a little stunned. Was that Elena? When he spun around to speak with Michael, he saw his previously active eldest brother had become an invalid patient as he laid on the bed.
Before Henry realized what had happened, Levi knocked on the door and announced, “Eldest Young Master, Young Madam is here to see you.”
There was no response from the other side of the door. Levi looked at Elena before he gently pushed the door open. Elena did not expect to see Henry there as well. She was about to greet Henry before the sight of the man in the bed took her attention.
“Eldest Young Master Williams, how are you?” Elena had no time to think about anyone else once she spotted the eldest young master on the bed.
She hurried toward him and crouched by the side of his bed as she examined his pale face.
Michael opened his eyes and looked at her tiredly. Elena thought he looked as if he was exhausted and nauseous.
Elena was shocked. She turned around and glared at Levi. “Didn’t you say that he is better now? Why does he look so weak still?”
