"Mr. Tremaine, Preslie's mother needs help, but the doctors here aren't skilled enough to perform the surgery. She might survive if they can get the best doctors over."
Sheldon paused for a second, then added, "Preslie's distraught about her mother's current condition, and Miss Cowell is sad because Preslie is."
Sheldon was telling the truth.
But, he also had personal considerations.
He wanted Tremaine to send a doctor over.
Tremaine had a private doctor who served him in the presidential office, and his prowess was world-renowned.
As a colonel, he could easily summon any doctor except for Tremaine's private doctor. Only Tremaine had the authority to do so.
Although Yesseca had already asked for help, getting another one would increase their chance of success.
All Tremaine could think about was Yesseca at the moment, and only with Sheldon's words did he remember that.
He immediately replied, "I'll get the doctor over right away. He'll be here in half an hour. Tell them to get ready."
Yesseca didn't manage to get through to Selina.
She tried calling several times only to fail each one.
She tried calling Matthew only to fail as well. She tried the villa phone in the end, but no one picked up either!
Yesseca was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat!
What was going on?!
Selina would answer her every call, but no one did this time, not even with the house line!
Yesseca stomped her feet with one last failed attempt and decided to head to the Perry family villa, not wanting to waste more time.
Yesseca ran to Preslie to tell her she was leaving for a while, only to hear Sheldon telling Preslie he had called for a doctor who would be arriving in half an hour.
Yesseca was finally relieved.
Her journey to the villa would already take about half an hour, that was if she was lucky not to be stuck in traffic. Getting a doctor would add to the time as well.
But now, Sheldon managed to get a doctor to come over in half an hour.
Celine wasn't out of danger yet, and the sooner a doctor could come to them, the better her chances of surviving!
However, Yesseca still thought she should make a trip over to the Perry family villa.
She didn't know anything about medicine, but she was convinced the more doctors they could get, the better their chances.
After Yesseca rushed off, Sheldon was left alone with Preslie.
Preslie had felt like the sky was about to fall, leaving only darkness and despair all over. But for some reason, when Sheldon arrived and told her he would help her get a doctor, she didn't panic as much anymore and didn't feel desperate either.
She sat next to Sheldon and only had one thing in her mind.
From the moment she met Sheldon, she had a feeling he was an influential man.
If he said help was on the way, her mother would definitely make it.
The moment Yesseca reached the entrance of the hospital, Amelia and Calter blocked her way.
Amelia glared at her. "You dare to run away after killing my mother?! Good thing my dad spotted you!"
Anxious, Yesseca didn't want to argue with them. "Let me leave; I'm going to find a doctor to save your mom! She's still alive, and the doctor who operated on her said maybe getting a better doctor will save her."
But Calter and Amelia didn't believe her.
Amelia said, "You're lying! Just say that you're running away! No need to make up such lies! Did you think we were born yesterday?!"
