My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1415

My request was pretty reasonable and he had no reason to refuse it, yet he still hesitated for a moment. He fell silent and did not immediately give me an answer. Then, he simply looked at me and said, "Your request is acceptable, but even though this is not a big matter, I'm not the person who can make the decision. As such, I have to ask my superior first before I can give you an answer. If my superior agrees, then we can sign the contract at that time."

I nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, try to contact your superiors as soon as possible. Once we have reached an agreement, I need to look for doctors that are willing to perform the surgery as soon as possible. You know that my daughter is severely ill and needs an operation as soon as possible."

He nodded his head repeatedly. This matter had come to an end for the time being.

It wasn't easy to hail a taxi in the suburbs. I was on the phone with the taxi company while walking around the factory. I couldn't help but wonder if Wendy had also undergone her operation here.

I took a closer look at this factory and found that there was nothing special about it. It seemed desolate because not many people came here. To any clueless and ordinary passerby, this was simply an abandoned factory site. No one would have thought that there would be an operating room that was used for black market trade hidden in this place.

I looked toward the second floor of the building. There seemed to be several rooms that had been cleaned. These must be the rooms where the patients stayed after coming out from surgery. However, I believed most of the patients here were either rich or noble. These rooms were probably for those poor donors.

"Miss Reid, why are you still here?" Bobbie asked when he came down from the second floor and saw that I was still there. He squinted at me and asked, "Are you taking a stroll?"

I chuckled and said, "Do you think I have all the time in the world? I can't hail a taxi. That's why I'm hanging around while waiting for a taxi here."

He smiled and said, "This is the suburbs, so there won't be any cars coming here. I can give you a ride because I just so happen to be going back to the city too!"

I immediately thanked him with a smile and said politely, "Sorry to trouble you. Thank you, Mr. Hathaway."

He smiled and said, "You're being too polite. It's no trouble at all. You can wait for me at the entrance first. I'll go and get the car."

I nodded with a smile and headed towards the door.

It was already noon and the elderly security guard at the entrance was eating his lunch. He greeted me warmly upon seeing me, "Miss, are you going back now?"

I nodded, walked over to him and replied with a smile, "Sir, how long have you been working here? There's no one around here. Did your family send you lunch?"

The elderly man smiled and replied, "I've been working here for several years already. My wife is pretty old and can't really walk anymore. She made these last night. I brought them along with me so that she wouldn't have to worry about me."

I nodded, looked at him and asked, "I see. Do you stay around this area? I think you are quite old and it's not easy for you to move around too much. Is it convenient for you to travel here?"

He ate a few mouthfuls of his food and said, "My house is not far away. It's just in the village a short distance from here. Although I'm old, I can still walk here every day!"

I smiled and said, "I don't think there are many workers in the factory. Your house is not too far from here. Wouldn't it be better for you to go home for lunch at noon and come back after eating?"
