CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 504: MIRACLE MEDICINE

The entrance to the town’s hospital is very small, not to mention a helicopter, even cars can’t park more than a few.

Richie had no choice but to park the helicopter on an open field outside the county road.

Ivana Monroe got off the helicopter and quickly ran towards the hospital.

"Woman, slow down,"

Richie furrowed his brow, worried that she’d fall from running too fast.

Ivana seemed not to hear and ran into the hospital in one breath: "Excuse me, where is the emergency room?"

The duty doctor was stunned, seeing Ivana’s flushed cheeks and her open mouth gasping for breath, she suddenly remembered the patient brought in earlier for emergency treatment—was this the relative of that severely burned patient?

"Over there," pointing in a certain direction.

"Thank you."

Ivana turned and ran over.

At this time, another person came in, the duty doctor saw Richie’s exceedingly handsome face and was instantly captivated by his looks. What kind of celestial beauty was this? Too good-looking!

"Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out."

Richie said viciously.

The duty doctor turned pale with fright.

Goodness.

The handsome man’s temper is too bad. Threatening to gouge eyes at the drop of a hat, too scary.

Ivana saw Derrick Stern standing outside the emergency room, occasionally looking up at the closed door with the illuminated red light. Probably hearing Ivana’s footsteps, Derrick turned around and, upon seeing Ivana, was overjoyed to tears.

"Madam."

Derrick secretly wiped away tears. Ivana walked briskly, not appearing injured at all, which was a huge relief.

If Ivana had been injured, Derrick would not have forgiven himself.

Seeing Derrick cry, Ivana became unsettled. Wasn’t Leon Keane supposed to not be in life-threatening danger? If so, why was Derrick crying? Could it be that Derrick was just comforting her and the actual situation was dire?

"Derrick, be honest with me. What’s Leon Keane’s condition now?"

"He’ll be fine, President Kane is sure to be fine."

Fine?

Ivana didn’t believe it at all.

"I want to go into the emergency room and have a look."

"But Madam..."

Before Derrick finished speaking, Ivana went past him and pushed open the emergency room door. She saw a doctor inside treating Leon Keane’s wounds. Her face turned pale as she covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Leon Keane’s handsome face had an oxygen mask on, his upper body was severely scalded both in the front and back. He lay trembling slightly on the emergency bed, his furrowed brow showing he was in great pain.

"Ma’am, you can’t just enter the emergency room at will,"

The doctor noticed Ivana, guessing from her expression that she was related to the man being treated. But entering the emergency room at will was against hospital regulations.

"I’m his wife," Ivana choked as she said, "Doctor, how is my husband now?"

"Ah?" The doctor said, "There’s no immediate life danger, but his burns are quite troublesome. If he develops a high fever tonight, that would be more troublesome."

Burns can be accompanied by fever. Leon Keane’s burns are so severe that if the fever is high, it may compromise heart and lung functions.

Since this woman is the patient’s wife, the doctor had the duty to inform her of this.

Ivana felt dizzy. How troublesome is more troublesome? Would it be life-threatening?

"Doctor, do you have any way to help my husband? We have money, expensive special medicine, feel free to use it on my husband. Whatever it takes to cure him, no cost is too high."

Ivana’s eyes were red, her voice hoarse.

The doctor, looking at Ivana, was moved. Months ago, a man was also brought here with burns, just not as extensive as Leon’s, but the woman asked how much it would cost right away and later chose to give up.

Derrick and Richie entered the emergency room behind Ivana. Seeing Leon’s shocking wounds, they were both stunned.

Richie came back to his senses and thought: Leon Keane is almost a god-like figure in Ravenswood. How did he end up like this? What on earth did he go through?

Derrick covered his chest with tears rolling down, praying: President, you must hold on!

"Ma’am, are you sure about using the special medicine? We do have two bottles here, but they’re very expensive, and the special medicine can only guarantee him passing the night safely. Tomorrow’s condition is uncertain because the burned area is too extensive, and we can only do simple treatment here."

"If you want to thoroughly treat your husband’s burns, you need to transfer to a city-level tertiary hospital specialized in dermatology, and that might also require a substantial sum."

This is, after all, a county hospital with limited medical resources. Take the special burn treatment medicine here; city tertiary hospitals can have a supply, but this hospital only has these two bottles, almost expired.

"I’m sure, use the special medicine for my husband now," Ivana said decisively.

"Ma’am, I haven’t even told you the price yet. One bottle of this special medicine costs one hundred fifty thousand, two bottles cost three hundred thousand. Are you sure?" In a county where houses are just two thousand per square meter, three hundred thousand can buy a large house.

And this money takes many people half a lifetime to earn.

"Yes, I’m sure," Ivana said.

Derrick really wanted to punch the doctor. What’s wrong with this doctor? Only three hundred thousand, and he’s babbling so much? Why not give it to President Kane sooner?

"Hurry and get the medicine, my President Kane isn’t short on money. Not just three hundred thousand, even three billion can be taken out,"

The doctor wasn’t surprised, thinking Derrick was crazy. Three billion? Isn’t that the richest man in Ravenswood?

Would the richest man in Ravenswood come to this county? Even if beaten to death, he wouldn’t believe it.

However, the name Leon Keane, he seemed to have heard it somewhere before?

Once Ivana confirmed, the doctor had no more to say and immediately instructed the nurse to fetch the medicine.

The special medicine was fetched and applied to Leon Keane, and his painful expression gradually faded.

The doctor helped treat Leon’s wounds simply, nearly exhausted to collapse.

"You can push him to the ward for now! The medicine will finish dripping in half an hour, and there’s a doctor on duty outside the ward."

"Wait, doctor, don’t leave yet. I have something to ask you."

"What is it?"

The doctor, with bloodshot eyes, looked at Ivana.

"We won’t stay in the hospital. Once the IV is done, we’re heading to Ravenswood. I’d like to ask you to come with us."

Ravenswood has the best hospitals, the most skilled doctors, Richie has a helicopter, and they can fly back tonight.

"Ma’am, are you joking? Ravenswood is so far away. An ambulance would take days and nights to get there. Even by plane, you need to book a ticket for tomorrow!"

"I’m not joking; we have a helicopter."

"A helicopter? Hahaha... aren’t you exaggerating, ma’am? Wash up and get some sleep! I understand your concern for your husband, but fantasizing won’t help."

"Who said she’s fantasizing? The helicopter is outside. Do you want me to take you to see it?"
