Timothy's demeanor shifted abruptly upon hearing about the test results.
He rose from his chair swiftly, his voice deep as he declared, "I'll be there immediately."
After ending the call, Timothy left the meeting room abruptly without offering any explanation, leaving the group of executives puzzled.
Given Timothy's reputation for his dedicated work ethic, it was unusual for anyone to answer a call during a meeting.
No one had ever witnessed Timothy taking a call and leaving a meeting suddenly. Could this be the end of the world?
Outside, Timothy grabbed his suit jacket and instructed Heath, "Have the vice president continue to chair the meeting. I expect a resolution by tomorrow."
"Understood, Mr. Barrett. Where are you headed?" Heath inquired.
"To the hospital."
Heath could likely guess whose call Timothy had just taken.
After all, only Monalize had the power to disrupt Timothy's usual routine.
After concluding the call, Mia glanced at Tyler and said, "You know what to do when he gets here, don't you?"
Adjusting his glasses, Tyler replied, "Yes, Mr. Mendes has instructed us accordingly. Sage's blood sample has been dispatched, and we'll promptly proceed with the bone marrow matching test."
"Thanks for your help."
Contemplating the possibility of Sage's recovery from his illness, Mia's spirits lifted. She hoped everything would proceed smoothly this time.
Shortly after, Timothy arrived at the hospital.
He couldn't help but notice Mia's slightly reddened eyes; it appeared as though she had been crying.
Timothy softened his tone and inquired, "Where's the doctor? I'm here for the matching test."
