The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 677

"Yes. Dr. Mary has rarely practiced in recent years. Our hospital tried to bring her on board, but she declined the offer. Finding her will likely be very difficult."

The doctor was likely a recent transfer to the hospital, or perhaps entirely new to Apex. He clearly knew nothing of the local dynamics. He recognized the James family as a wealthy household, but he had no idea that the legendary Mary was actually Latham's mother.

"It will not be difficult at all," Octavia interjected, her voice trembling with excitement. "Honey, call your mother right now. Tell her to hurry."

"I will," Latham agreed, completely abandoning his usual composed demeanor.

He dialed Mary's number while the doctor listened nearby.

Upon hearing that Lance had been in a terrible accident, Mary was genuinely shocked. "I will head back immediately."

"Mom, should I send a driver to pick you up?" Latham asked, unable to bear a single second of delay.

Octavia nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Have you forgotten that I know how to drive?" Mary replied. Though her car rarely left the garage, it did not mean her skills had rusted.

Latham looked slightly sheepish. "Then please be careful on the road."

With his son already in critical condition, Latham certainly did not want his mother getting into an accident as well.

"Did she say when she would arrive?" Octavia asked, staring at Latham with desperate anticipation.

"It takes time to drive into the city from the countryside. Plus, it is rush hour right now. She might get caught in traffic."

It would take an hour at the very least.
