Even the nurse was taken aback by Rhett's poise. "Absolutely, sir. Your initial examination indicated normalcy. You have the option to seek confirmation at another medical institution, with all expenses covered by us."

"Understood," Rhett said.

The nurse offered repeated apologies, mindful of the potential harm such an incident could inflict on the hospital's reputation. Failing to intercept the intoxicated patient in time, the hospital incurred a certain degree of liability, exposing others to danger.

Fortunately, the intoxicated patient was ultimately found not to be a carrier, yet the initial positive test result left everyone perplexed. Despite thorough investigation, the cause remained elusive.

"We extend our sincerest apologies for the distress caused. This was our error," the nurse stated.

"Understood," Rhett responded.

Upon ending the call, Rhett retrieved his work ID, gazing at the back where a photo of a captivating woman lay. He then tenderly pressed the photo to his cheek, murmuring, “Frida, did you witness that? Even the celestial forces seem to favor me. Was it you? Were you helping me?"

Certainly, the woman in the photograph would not acknowledge him. A solitary tear slid from Rhett's eye, laden with profound grief.

At that moment, another mobile device nestled within Rhett's bag chimed.

Rhett glanced at the incoming call, his gaze narrowing, before decisively answering.

A voice, fraught with terror, emanated from the other end of the line. "Sir, I implore you to assist me..."

Rhett inquired, “Assist you? How may I be of service?"

After a brief pause, the woman at the other end of the line said, “I seek to depart the country."

“Heh..." Rhett's laughter morphed abruptly into something sinister.

“Have you not yet grasped the lesson?"

"I... I have your secret. You must know numerous individuals are inquiring about you. If I am apprehended, your secret will be exposed," the woman said, though her voice barely above a whisper.

"You've become somewhat more astute," Rhett commented.

“I'm in dire straits. I apologize. Should you provide me with funds, I solemnly pledge to depart the country and never return.”

Rhett deliberated momentarily, appearing to contemplate. Following a brief pause, he inquired slowly, "What sum do you require?"

"I need fifty million." The woman then hastily explained, "I must reside abroad. Without fifty million, my existence will be imperiled."
