Lyna smiled as she took out a card from her bag. Placing it on the table, she slid it across to him. “Mr. Lake, can’t you help me with something so trivial on the account of our relationship? This is one million for your trouble.”
Lowering his gaze, Mr. Lake’s eyes lit up. However, he maintained the conflicted expression he had. “Ms. Blackwood, since you put it that way, it would be rude of me to come up with further excuses. Therefore, I’ll see what I can do.”
“In that case, I owe you my thanks, Mr. Lake.” Lyna couldn’t help but give him a condescending look. Hmph! All he wants is money.
“May I know which operation are you talking about? I’ll make the arrangements when I return,” Mr. Lake asked. After taking Lyna’s money, it was time for him to get to work. But given his position, it wasn’t going to be difficult for him to plant someone in the operating theatre.
“Oh, it’s a bone marrow transplant operation for a leukemia patient. I think it is scheduled for tomorrow.” Lyna didn’t dare say it was her own brother as she was afraid he might use the information to blackmail her.
“Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements.” Just as he spoke, Mr. Lake quickly put the card into his pocket swiftly just like how he had done it so many times. It was obvious that he was used to accepting bribes all the time.
“Thank you for coming Mr. Lake. Please see yourself out.”
With a click of the door, Mr. Lake left the private room. Filled with malice, Lyna took out a recording pen and mumbled to herself in glee, “Hah, don’t think that one million doesn’t come with a price. When something happens then, you will have to take the blame.”
After that, Lyna called someone else. She got straight to the point the moment the call connected. “I’ll send you my location so come see me now. We have some lucrative business to discuss.”
“Haha, Winson, I don’t think anyone can save you now. Don’t for a second think that you have a chance to survive just because Hannah has stepped up to help you. This is just a joke! Now, both of you will see each other in the underworld. But look on the bright side, at least you have each other for company. Hahaha!”
Lyna diabolical laugh was enough to cause one’s hair to stand on end. It was unbelievable that such an insidious laughter came out from one so pretty.
While Lyna was plotting at her end, Fabian was discussing with Dan the safety measures of the operation.
“You have to make sure whoever enters the operating theatre is not compromised,” Fabian asserted.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get the supervisors to send one person each so that they can keep an eye on each other. There definitely won’t be any problems,” Dan York, the director of Mercy Hospital, who was sitting opposite him replied.
“Mmm-hmm. You have to be meticulous in the arrangements. There can be no mistakes,” Fabian reminded.
Nodding, Dan asked, “Aren’t you making a storm out of a teacup? Nothing is going to go wrong with this operation.”
“One can never be too careful,” Fabian replied, shaking his head.
The operation itself was extremely important to Fabian. Furthermore, his men had found out that someone from the Blackwood family had prevented Winson from going to Mercy Hospital for treatment. Therefore, he had to take extra precautions to ensure Hannah’s safety.
Looking as if he had something to say, Dan wondered who it was that Fabian was being wary of. Someone from the Blackwood family? However, the patient in question is Leo Blackwood’s son. Why would they harm him? Hence, Dan felt that Fabian was being paranoid after spending too much time in the business world.
Meanwhile, Lyna had met the person she had wanted to.
“One million to buy your silence.” Lyna took out a card and slammed it on the table.
In a short time, Lyna had spent two million and agonized over it. However, the thought that two million would buy her most of the Blackwood family’s assets and also remove the obstacle to her marriage to Fabian, made her feel that it was worth it.
“Deal,” he agreed while picking the card up from the table despite not understanding what she meant by his silence.
