At ten o'clock, Scarlett and Xander arrived at the hospital.
The hospital director, several senior staff, and a doctor were waiting for them at the entrance.
Their presence made the atmosphere in the hospital lobby lively. Some hospital visitors looked curious. They stood where they were to see what had happened.
Except for a few officers at the front desk, they whispered to each other, seeing the rare sight where the hospital director respected someone so much.
"Who is that man? Why is everyone coming out to greet him?" She felt curious. As she knows, even the governor of this island never once did the hospital director come down to greet him.
"Is he one of the big shots on this island?"
"Geez!! Don't you recognize that guy? He's Xander Riley. You forgot whose hospital this is?" Another staff chimed in.
"OMG! Yes, you are right. That man is Mr. Xander Riley. He is our big boss." The light in her eyes shone as she tugged at her friend's sleeve hem.
"Are you guys so anxious to get a 'Warning Letter?'" The staff suddenly froze at the sound of a female voice behind them. They look back and see their manager glaring, "Go back to work! And don't gossip too much at work, please!"
At once everyone returned to their respective desks without saying a word, not even daring to look at their big boss Xander Riley.
Scarlett silently followed Xander, surrounded by the hospital director and senior staff. She walks with Logan and Ben while trying to hide from the onlookers.
She wasn't used to getting a lot of attention in public places that weren't her territory. And she felt a little uncomfortable hearing everyone starting to talk about them.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Ma'am, are you feeling unwell?" Logan, who saw Scarlett's face, asked quietly. But his question was heard by Xander, who didn't seem to be interested in the Hospital Director's words — today, he was not here as CEO of Riley Group. Still, he came to accompany his wife and wasn't ready to talk about work.
He looked back and stopped in his tracks. He stretched out his hand to take Scarlett's hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Scarlett was stunned. This man suddenly made intimate contact, and he looked so natural. She tried to act casual but felt that people were starting to pay attention to her.
She quickly shook her head and said, "Can we go to Doctor Robert's place immediately?"
Xander nods and takes his leave from the hospital Director and other senior staff.
Then, he asked Ben to take them to where Doctor Robert is now. Soon the four of them entered the elevator leaving the Hospital Director and senior staff.
As the elevator doors closed, one of the senior staff's faces turned sour, feeling that the big boss was ignoring them for the young Girl's sake. He looked at the hospital director and asked, "Dr. Gray, who is that woman?"
The hospital director, who was just about to enter another elevator, stopped and looked at the staff. He smiled, saying, "That woman is Mr. Riley's wife."
Everyone is shocked to hear that.
"Since when was he married?"
"This news is very shocking! Seriously? Why no announcement?"
"Hahaha, you must be joking, right, Mr. Gray?"
The hospital director could only chuckle at the shocked faces of his colleague.
"...Gentlemen, I hope you don't tell anyone about this. It's still a secret!" he said and entered the elevator.
While in the room where Dr. Robert was, the three sat in the seating area.
"...Girl, you are very good at finding a husband." Dr. Robert laughs as he accepts Xander's handshake. "Nice to know you, Xander. Please take care of Scarlett. I already think of her like my own daughter."
"Don't worry, sir, I will take good care of her..." Xander smiled as he glanced at Scarlett, her face looked flushed, and she looked so adorable.
"Good to hear. All right, now... Come sit down. I have something to talk to both of you..." Robert clasped his hands and sat down in his chair.
"Sir..."
"Call me Grandpa like this girl called me..." Robert smiled and looked at Scarlett. "... Girl, your father's surgery will take some time. You don't have to wait. After our lunch, you can return to your place and come back in the evening." He was worried that this Girl would stay in this hospital for a long time.
"Grandpa, it's okay. I'll arrange a room for her to wait," said Xander.
"Oh, you can do that?" Robert was surprised to hear that.
"...Yes!"
"Gramp, he can do it because this hospital is his." Scarlett couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, sorry, I forgot you are the owner of this hospital. Very nice!"
Xander didn't say anything. He smiled and texted Ben to arrange a room so they could wait together in one room.
Later...
After a short and pleasant greeting, Xander and Dr. Robert became close in no time. They had a serious conversation that didn't interest Scarlett at all.
She turned her attention to read something on her laptop about the progress of the case that happened to the Wood Family.
News about Brody is still a hot topic of conversation everywhere. In all mass media and social media. For Scarlett, people like Brody Wood don't deserve to live in this country. He is the trash of society, the destroyer of future generations' goodness.
And obviously, all the uproar on the internet could have made Scarlett's mood much better.
As she was immersed in what she was reading, her phone vibrated, and she was surprised to see a text message from an unknown number.
It only took a few minutes to find out whose phone it was. It was Old Master Wood.
'Gosh! They already think I did this?' Scarlett laughed inside. 'Not bad. Not bad at all. It turns out they are smart too!'
She had forced herself to ignore the text. Because she can guess this old man must be cunning, dishonest, and shameless, it was a genetic trait of the Wood Family, like his son and grandson.
