The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 1606



Fleur's vitals finally stabilized after the doctors operated on her, but things did not look well despite her survival. Jon quickly stopped one of the doctors after the surgery and asked, "Is she going to be alright?"

The doctor sighed. "Her condition is terrible, Mr. Lane. Most of her organs are failing given her old age, and..."

"And what?!"

Jon was very irritable just then.

Yora suddenly appointed him head of the Lane family and then left Fleur in his care.

It certainly went without saying that this was a test assigned by the matriarch, and Jon would be punished if Fleur died under his care.

The doctor continued just then, "It seems that the patient has been routinely consuming a certain substance. While it improves her health for periods of time, it's also highly addictive and accumulates in the body over time, building up toxicity."

After a moment of hesitation, the doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lane, but there's really nothing we can do here."

"What?!" Jon bellowed. "Isn't this hospital the best in Zamri? Isn't there anything else you can do?!"

The doctor could only shake his head despite Jon's outburst. "Calm down, Mr. Lane... At this point, the patient's only option is to keep taking whatever she was taking before this. Even if it inevitably drives her to her death, it would at least keep her alive for some time. Deny her, and she wouldn't last five days."

"What..."

John was troubled even as he watched the doctor leave.

Then, remembering the note Yora gave him, he opened it to find a phone number.

"Damn it!"

Jon gritted his teeth in frustration.

He never wanted status or power and would not even entertain the thought of becoming the head of the family.

All he wanted was to live out his days as one of the Lane family's rich kids, but now he had no choice after getting caught in this feud for some

reason.

Yora would blame him if Fleur died, and then...

"Jon..."

Fleur called out feebly from her ward just then.

Jon hurried inside to find that Fleur was awake, but she looked like she

Nheless, she rasped, "Go... get Baba Yaga."

Jon did a double-take-it was the first time he heard the name. "Baba Yaga?"

"Go!"

Fleur's fingers tightened around Jon's hand, her eyes flaring with the desire to survive.

"Alright, I'll make the call right now," Jon promised.

A proud smile showed on Fleur's lips, while Jon hurried off to theBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hello?" An elderly woman's voice spoke from the other end.

"Hello, is this Baba Yaga? I need your... medicine."

Jon had no idea what medicine Fleur needed but had no choice other than to stick to Yora's script. Silence ensued before Baba Yaga said, "But I remember delivering a prescription earlier this week." "What?"

Jon was dumbstruck-if that was the case, why was Fleur in so much pain?

"Hehe... Hold that thought. I need to ask my men for some clarification."

The elderly woman giggled and hung up just then, but she called back after just a couple of minutes "Alright. Head over to Black Mist Bar down Hale Street. Wait at the bar, and someone will make the drop." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Jon nodded. "Okay, got it."
