Lila got rushed to the hospital right away.
Gavin packed up his gear, glanced at Esme who was hanging around, and said, "No biggle. Lila's got an old issue. She'll be good after a few days of chillin'"
Lila only cracked her eyes open after hearing Gavin say she was alright.
Playing sick was her go-to move. No way Brandon wouldn't show up with his kids to say sorry when he heard. Then she could drag Esme back to the Windsor family and keep Catherine in check.
Seeing Gavin, Eame was so hyped she could barely talk!
This dude was usually just a face on the news. She'd never been to the hospital with Lila before, so this was her first time meeting Gavin.
"Prof. Davis. I'm Esme from the Windsor family. I'm studying medicine too. Would you take me on as a student?" Esme asked.
Gavin chuckled, "First time meeting Mr. Marcus Windsor's granddaughter. Didn't think you'd be into medicine too."
Esme blushed, "Yeah, my grandparents aren't in great shape, so I wanted to learn medicine to take care of them."
There was a flicker of binerness in her eyes.
Grandpa told me to stay out of the inheritance fight with my brothers, so he only
let me study medicine, not business or finance. I just don't get why, as a Windsor, I don't get a piece of the pie. If I could learn from Gavin, the Windsor fam would see I'm the best! Esme thought.
Lila laughed, "Esme's my only granddaughter. If she could follow you. I'd be happy.
The Windsor boys each have their own thing, so Esme shouldn't be any less. Gavin agreed easily. "Alright. Esme can tag along for a bit. If she's got the chops, III mentor her myself."
Esme's eyes lit up: Thank you. Prof. Davisl
Gavin asked, "Cot any core papers published or led any big research projects?
Esme went quiet as she thought, What's that? 1 barely go to my regular classes, so how would i have time for research? You can buy that stuff with money anyway."
Seeing her awkward look, Gavin figured Eame was probably all talk.
Gavin thought. Too bad, the Windsor boys are all whizzes, and I'm hoping for a student like George
I have to do my rounds. Hit me up in a couple of days" he said.
"Okay!"
Imperia City. Bright Heal Hospital, Special Care Ward
Gavin smiled warmly at Marcus, who was lying in bed. and said. "Mr. Windsor, you re in pretty good shape. Keep up the exercise."
"I'm getting old. My granddaughter will come by later to take me out for some sum."
Mentioning Catherine, Marcus's face lit up with a kind smile.
Gavin walked out and bumped into Alexander, who was there to see Felix.
"Prof. Davis, how's Felix doing?"
Gavin handed over a report and said, "All the numbers are good, but his blood pressure's high. He needs to watch his diet."
Alexander took the report and looked it over carefully, saying. Thanks. I've looked into the prescription issue. Can you come with me for a sec?"
The prescription mess had been weighing on Gavin's mind.
These patients were high-profile, and there couldn't be any slip-ups, let alone causing a death.
Gavin quickly followed Alexander and said, "I've got some killer coffee in my office. Wanna try?"
In the office, the room was filled with the aroma of coffee.
"The last incident was tied to the dark web assassin group. Abyssal Blades. They teamed up with hospital staff to mess with your prescription. The culprits have been caught."
Gavin was shocked, "Foreign forces?"
Alexander nodded, sipping his coffee. "The folks recovering here have unique backgrounds. Lots of foreign eyes on them. The previous attack on Marcus was their doing too."
Gavin's forehead was slick with sweat, and he said. "Got it. Thanks. I heard you and Ms. Windsor are still engaged?"
Alexander looked up and smiled. "You're not usually into gossip. Why bring it up?"
Gavin hesitated for a sec, the image of Esme's pretty but empty face, especially those eyes filled with nothing but self-interest, flashed in his mind, making him uneasy. Then he said,
