"I received Isaac's call," Forrest replied.

Wynter lowered her gaze and said, "I see.”

Observing Wynter, Divya probed, “You seem surprised.”

Wynter raised her head, her usual air of detachment and seriousness firmly in place. She positioned herself as if looking down upon others and stated, "Miss, you have misconstrued."

As Isaac's secretary, she indeed held the right to look down upon others.

Anyone seeking an audience with Isaac had to pass through her.

Divya, who had grown up accustomed to indulgence, paid no mind to Wynter's presence. She asserted, "Forrest and Isaac are friends, and I am Forrest's wife. It would be fitting for you to treat me with respect, don't you agree?”

Wynter frowned.

Forrest, displeased with the brewing confrontation, interjected, “Must the two of you engage in this argument right now?"

Divya, eager to maintain Forrest's favor, immediately fell silent. Wynter, not wanting to exacerbate the situation, sought to avoid any further complications.

“Tell me, what transpired during the accident? How did it happen?" Forrest asked Wynter.

“Alick had the mishap on his way to the airport when his vehicle collided with a dump truck on the elevated highway. This hospital, being closest to the accident site, became the destination for his treatment," Wynter explained, shedding light on her decision to bring Alick here.

Forrest nodded and stated, “Investigate the dump truck driver while I venture into the operating room to assess the situation."

Wynter halted Forrest, saying, “I have already dispatched someone to investigate the dump truck. Alick is currently undergoing surgery. What are your intentions? Your interference may jeopardize his operation. What if something goes wrong?"

“I am a doctor. I know what I'm doing," Forrest insisted. He found the relevant doctors and told them his identity. With their permission, he gained entry to the operating room.

The sight that greeted Forrest within the operating room left him astonished.

The medical environment was utterly lacking.

The equipment appeared archaic and rudimentary.

And Alick lay there, unconscious.

The doctors struggled to save him, but Forrest could discern their Limited medical expertise.

Continuing to delay would surely result in Alick's demise.

He made up his mind. Though he knew it was ill-advised to transfer Alick to another hospital at this juncture, he also understood that further delays would yield no positive outcome.

He dialed the emergency center of the Military Central Hospital. Having worked there before and having connections with numerous doctors, it wasn't difficult for him to arrange for an ambulance. Forrest intended to have Alick transferred there.

Outside the operating room.

Divya's gaze bore into Wynter.
