Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: This is My Bottom Line Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: This is My Bottom Line Nicholas Lawrence furrowed his thick eyebrows. Given his personality, he had intended to send Enna Clark to the police station no matter what today.
But with Baron Lawrence's assertive and persistent attitude, although Nicholas didn't believe Enna was innocent and doubted her claim that she had informed Baron she was going to see the Old Master, he didn't want to disrespect Baron in front of other family members.
Nicholas's temple throbbed as he pondered how to deal with Enna Clark.
Just then, the lights in the operating room came on.
Medical staff in surgical attire began to remove their masks as they walked out.
Everyone's attention shifted from Enna Clark to the doctor. Nicholas Lawrence stepped forward quickly, “Dr. Howell, how is my father?”
Although Baron Lawrence didn't speak, Enna Clark felt the sudden tension in his rigid back.
The doctor, who seemed to be in his forties or fifties, took off his mask and handed his bloodied gloves to a nearby nurse, his forehead sweaty and his expression weary, said, “The Old Lord has temporarily been pulled out of life-threatening danger, and the poison in his stomach has been cleaned out.”
No sooner had he finished than he added, “However, the Old Lord is of an advanced age, and his health has been poor for a while now, so although we operated in time to clean his stomach, some of the toxins have seeped into his bloodstream through his saliva. I can only say that the Old Lord is temporarily out of danger for now, but I can't be sure when he will awaken.”
Skye Lawrence, standing to the side, noticeably relaxed upon hearing his words.
It was unclear whether she was relieved that Old Master Lawrence was temporarily out of danger or because of the doctor's uncertainty about when he might awaken…
While everyone's attention was on the doctor, no one noticed the fleeting change in her expression.
Only Enna Clark, who happened to be standing by her side, inadvertently caught the subtle shift in her face and a flicker of doubt crossed her eyes.
But soon, her doubt was drawn away by Old Master Lawrence being wheeled out of the operating room–Enna had seen Old Master Lawrence that morning, vibrant and piercing in gaze. It was her first time seeing Old Master Lawrence appearing so fragile, like a sick old man who could be toppled by a breeze, far removed from his usual formidable presence.
It wasn't just Enna Clark who felt disturbed.
Baron Lawrence and Nicholas, seeing Old Master Lawrence with his eyes closed, lying on the gurney being wheeled out, both clenched their jaws tight.
Especially Baron Lawrence, whose hand by his side was clenched into a tight fist!
“The Old Lord has just finished surgery, and his body is still very weak. We need to place him in the Intensive Care Unit isolated from bacteria, so we cannot allow visitors for the time being. I hope everyone understands. Once the Old Lord's vital signs stabilize, we will transfer him to the VIP Hospital Room,” the doctor said.
“When can he stabilize?” asked Baron Lawrence, his handsome face stern.
He did not want platitudes; he wanted results!
Pressured by his aura, the doctor hesitated before replying, “It could be three to five days, or possibly a week. It all depends on the Old Lord's recovery. But generally, it should not exceed one week.”
One week.
That was somewhat acceptable.
He reached back to grasp Enna Clark's wrist and approached Nicholas, demanding, “Second Uncle, I'm taking Enna Clark with me. I'll have the results in a week. But don't touch her in this time! That's my bottom line!”
