Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Mr. Joshua Makes a Decision Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Mr. Joshua Makes a Decision Abigail Green’s expression was focused, her hands skillful, completely blocking out the surrounding sounds.

Very soon everyone noticed the little girl’s face gradually returning to normal, and her lips were no longer so purplish-blue.

Joshua Piers’s previously gloomy expression softened slightly as he watched Abigail.

Abigail did not dare to leave until the sound of ambulance sirens rang out outside, and everyone let out a collective breath of relief for the little girl.

The paramedics quickly arrived. Seeing the girl on the ground and Abigail kneeling beside her, they were momentarily stunned before one spoke with slight dissatisfaction. “Please move aside.”

Abigail exhaled, stood up from the ground, and instructed the paramedics next to her. “The patient has severe symptoms of heart failure and needs immediate surgery. These needles now…”

“Hurry, get her on the stretcher,” the leading female doctor interrupted Abigail before she could finish. Upon seeing the silver needles in the girl’s chest, her expression changed. “Who did this?”

“I did.”

Hearing the doctor’s sharp question, Abigail stood up, rubbed her knees, and answered. She suddenly realized that many modern doctors did not understand traditional Flowery medicine and was about to explain further when the female doctor, very displeased, said, “Please remove them. This is highly irresponsible to the patient.”

“Not now,” Abigail replied coldly, her explanation forcibly swallowed. She added, “The patient’s condition is critical. I recommend immediate open-heart surgery. Have you arranged for a cardiothoracic surgeon?”

The female doctor, unhappy with Abigail’s attitude, ignored her and followed her colleagues in getting the girl onto the ambulance.

Seeing this, Abigail was about to get on the ambulance, but the female doctor stopped her. “Are you family? If not, please do not interfere with the medical staff.”

Joshua Piers, who had not paid attention to Abigail since they arrived at the ambulance, paused in his movement to get on. He glanced back at Abigail, meeting her worried gaze, and frowned slightly. “Let her get on.”

“Mr. Piers, we already have the best…” the female doctor started to say, but met Joshua’s gaze. Her body seemed to freeze, and she swallowed the rest of her words.

Joshua threw out two words without turning back. “Get on.”

Abigail, worried about the patient, quickly moved forward but was held back by Hughes. “Abigail!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. You help Aunt Claudia and Teddy get home,” Abigail comforted Hughes with a pat on the shoulder. Although she didn’t know the relationship between Joshua and the girl, it was clear that Joshua was very anxious about the little girl and wouldn’t have time for anything else, especially not in public.

After speaking, Abigail dared not delay any longer.

With a serious expression, Hughes reported the situation to Brandon Piers.

Brandon, sitting at the conference table, received two messages simultaneously. He opened Hughes’s message first, and his impeccable handsome face turned sullen, frightening the entire high-level meeting room into silence.

Kelvin Max, although having followed the second young master for many years, still felt nervous every time the second young master got angry.

“Today’s meeting ends here.” Brandon rubbed his temples, stood up, and left the conference room after speaking.

Kelvin quickly followed. “Second Young Master, what happened?”

Brandon didn’t speak until they entered the office. Then, he looked at Kelvin. “Where’s the person watching Joshua?”

“Ah, they… they are there.” Kelvin was bewildered by the anger in the second young master’s question.

“There?” Brandon sneered. “If they’re there, where are they?”

“It appears Joshua took a little girl to the aquarium today. She seemed to have had a heart attack midway, but a doctor on the scene administered timely first aid. She is now on the ambulance,” Kelvin quickly answered.

“Anything else?” Brandon stared at Kelvin, questioning.

Kelvin felt increasingly anxious. “Is there an issue, Second Young Master?”

“Do you know who the female doctor at the scene was?” Brandon’s voice held a hint of restraint.

Kelvin was not foolish; few people could affect the second young master’s emotions. There was only one person who could cause such a reaction. So the doctor who saved the little girl was, “The young mistress?”

Brandon did not speak, just looked at Kelvin.

Kelvin understood immediately. “I’ll arrange protection for the young mistress right away.”

He was about to leave the office when Brandon coldly said, “I’ll go.”

Kelvin froze in place. “Second Young Master, you can’t…”

“Have you found out the details about the girl?” Brandon asked as he rubbed his temples again.

“Yes, she’s Samuel Piers’s child. He had a girlfriend before he went in, and the child was born after he was imprisoned. Her name is Dorothy Piers, nicknamed Dora. Joshua has had someone raising her in Swallow City. According to the records, Joshua only takes care of the mother and daughter out of obligation. It was quite unexpected that he took Dorothy to the aquarium today,” Kelvin promptly reported the investigation results to Brandon.

Brandon’s face grew increasingly grim after hearing this. “To take an obligational niece to the aquarium and just happen to run into Abigail, and the niece just happens to have a heart attack?”

Kelvin felt a chill run down his spine. “Second Young Master, and the young mistress?”

“She got on the ambulance.” Brandon had already stood up as he spoke.

Kelvin’s mind was still in a fog. The young mistress got on the ambulance; Joshua was on the ambulance…

Brandon did not wait for Kelvin to figure it out and had already walked out of the office.

The next moment, Kelvin almost slapped himself. Just then, his phone rang. Seeing it was Kennan Max, he quickly answered. “Brother, the young mistress…”

“Didn’t you see the message I sent you and the second young master? The young mistress is in trouble,” Kennan’s voice was rapid.

“I know. The second young master wants to go himself,” Kelvin said as he quickly followed Brandon.

Kennan paused before saying, “Tell the second young master to remain calm. I am already following the ambulance and won’t let anything happen to the young mistress.”

Kelvin sighed in relief and quickly caught up with the second young master. “My brother is already personally following. Why don’t you wait for news?”

Brandon glanced at Kelvin.

Kelvin immediately fell silent and went to make final arrangements.

…

On the ambulance.

Abigail was a bit relieved to see the complete surgical equipment but quickly asked, “Who here is the cardiothoracic surgeon? The patient needs immediate surgery.”

“I am.” The female doctor who had clashed with Abigail earlier was noticeably more restrained after meeting Joshua’s gaze. However, after answering, she said firmly, “The conditions on the ambulance are too crude to perform surgery.”

“Yes, the conditions are crude. But it’s at least a thirty-minute drive from the aquarium to the hospital. The child’s condition can’t wait that long,” Abigail said, looking at the girl on the stretcher.

“If you hadn’t used the needles recklessly, the patient’s condition wouldn’t be so severe. If something goes wrong, you will be fully responsible,” the female doctor responded, knowing the child’s condition was dire but portraying her words as a means to shift blame.

Abigail’s temples throbbed. “If I hadn’t used the needles, she wouldn’t have made it to the ambulance. If you can’t do it, I will!”

Abigail would rather save the girl than worry about any so-called responsibility.

The female doctor looked at Abigail in shock. “Are you crazy?”

Abigail ignored her and turned to Joshua. “Mr. Joshua, make the decision.”
