After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 203 - 198

Emily Parker turned and walked towards the parking lot.

Evan Palmer hurriedly came out of Love & Kindness Hospital again.

You could see Evan Palmer’s anxious expression and hurried steps, seeming as if he was rushing to greet some important figure.

At that moment, several black business cars slowly stopped at the entrance of Love & Kindness Hospital.

The car doors opened one after another, and Mr. William was the first to step out, followed by a group of staff from the research institute, each holding a folder.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Reed was also among them.

Doctor Reed had been attending an important academic conference out of town, which was in full swing, when he suddenly received the news that Mr. William and the minister were invited to visit an obscure small hospital—Eastern Hospital.

Moreover, Mr. William decided to sign a collaboration project with Eastern Hospital.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly throwing Doctor Reed into a panic.

Doctor Reed knew well the importance of this collaboration; he was extremely anxious, dared not delay for a moment, and immediately contacted Mr. William urgently.

On the phone, he earnestly invited Mr. William, no matter what, to come and visit Love & Kindness Hospital.

Doctor Reed pledged with certainty that his Love & Kindness Hospital had premier medical standards and professional teams in the entire Capital and even in China, far superior to that small tertiary hospital.

As the vice president of the Carter Clan, a significant investor in Love & Kindness Hospital, Evan Palmer naturally got the news and rushed to greet them without delay.

At that moment, his face was full of smiles, and he briskly stepped forward, reaching out from afar to shake hands warmly with Mr. William and the others.

"Mr. William, please come inside with us to have a look around.

With the Carter Clan’s investment, Love & Kindness Hospital’s medical standards and professional team are the strongest in the entire Capital and even in China. After your visit, you will definitely have a newfound respect for us!"

Evan Palmer’s tone was filled with confidence, knowing that once this collaboration project was secured, he could firmly establish his position on the board to outshine Carlos, that wastrel.

Doctor Reed was equally confident, leading Mr. William and others with large strides towards the interior of the hospital.

Along the way, Doctor Reed boasted endlessly about the various advantages of Love & Kindness Hospital, from its advanced medical equipment and the experienced expert team to successful treatment cases, speaking with pride.

Mr. William nodded slightly, as the group toured the entire hospital.

Doctor Reed initially thought that these dazzling achievements and strengths would impress Mr. William, prompting high praise for Love & Kindness Hospital.

But as the tour continued, he keenly observed that Mr. William’s reaction seemed somewhat cold.

Mr. William only occasionally nodded politely, without showing the admiration he had hoped for.

After the tour, everyone came to the conference room for a short rest. Doctor Reed couldn’t contain his anxiety and cautiously inquired about Mr. William’s opinion of Love & Kindness Hospital.

Mr. William picked up his coffee, took a slow sip, and said leisurely,

"Doctor Reed, your Love & Kindness Hospital is indeed quite good, with advanced equipment, professional doctors, and a good reputation in the industry.

But it’s just quite good.

It’s not much different from the hospital we visited previously." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Hearing this, Doctor Reed felt his heart sink, and the smile on his face became slightly stiff.

He never expected that his proudly esteemed Love & Kindness Hospital would only be seen as "quite good" in Mr. William’s eyes.

Before he could recover, Mr. William continued,

"And that hospital has a very young and talented doctor.

You know that our X Research Institute has always liked to discover young people, giving them more opportunities to break conventions and collaborate with young teams.

This has always been the philosophy of Doctor X.

In contrast, that hospital’s youthful energy and innovative potential align more with our collaboration philosophy."

Mr. William’s words, like cold water, dampened most of the hope in Doctor Reed’s heart.

He sat there in a daze, momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

Doctor Reed kept hearing Mr. William’s words echoing in his mind, realizing that Love & Kindness Hospital’s hope of securing collaboration with the X Research Institute was slim.

Beside him, Evan Palmer had been eagerly sitting there, thinking that with Love & Kindness Hospital’s strong capabilities, the collaboration with the X Research Institute was practically guaranteed.

Who could have predicted Mr. William’s words would be like a heavy blow, leaving him dumbfounded, his expression frozen, and his eyes filled with disbelief.

However, being a veteran in the business world, Evan Palmer reacted quickly.

Upon hearing Mr. William mention Doctor X, he quickly seized the opportunity to attempt to salvage the situation,

"Mr. William, speaking of young doctor training, Love & Kindness Hospital undoubtedly leads the way.

Do you remember Doctor Willow you saw at the last reception?"

As Evan Palmer said this, a gleam of pride flashed in his eyes, as if he had grabbed the last straw of hope.

As soon as Evan Palmer mentioned Adam Willow, Mr. William’s expression turned a bit peculiar.

He subtly furrowed his brows, a complex emotion flickered in his eyes, and then he fell into a brief silence.

This silence in the quiet conference room seemed particularly abrupt, and in Doctor Reed and Evan Palmer’s eyes, it was interpreted differently.

The two exchanged a glance, secretly delighted, believing that indeed, as they expected, Adam Willow, being a student of Doctor X, held significant weight in Mr. William’s eyes.

Seizing the moment, Doctor Reed plastered a smile across his face and added,

"Yes, Doctor Willow is a young talent we are focusing on nurturing. His talent in medical research is extremely high, having already published a very influential international paper.

Given time, he will surely excel in the medical field."

Evan Palmer eagerly nodded in agreement,

"Exactly, exactly, Doctor Willow’s skills and potential are among the top young doctors in the entire Capital, perfectly aligning with the collaboration philosophy of the X Research Institute."

They were full of hope that Mr. William might change his mind because of Adam Willow, reconsidering the collaboration with Love & Kindness Hospital.

"Speaking of Doctor Willow, he is performing a surgery as we speak.

No time like the present, let’s go take a look together now."

Doctor Reed had just received the news that Adam Willow was assisting in a gallstone surgery for his prospective father-in-law.

Gallstone surgeries are just minor surgeries.

Mr. William, accompanied by his family, went to observe the surgery in the operating room.

As they reached the entrance of the operating room, they saw Sophie Parker and her daughter sitting outside waiting.

Just as they were about to go in, suddenly, a nurse rushed out of the operating room.

"Director, it’s not good, there’s been an unexpected complication in the surgery.

Please hurry inside to take a look."
