Chapter 4 - The Medical Emergency
Within twelve minutes, Dr. Sterling arrived at the private Massachusetts estate with an emergency medical kit in hand.
He immediately hooked Clara up to an intravenous saline drip on the velvet sofa while checking her vital signs under harsh inspection lights.
"She has severe dehydration, minor rib fractures, and signs of prolonged chemical sedation," Dr. Sterling reported grimly to Alexander.
Alexander stood in the corner of the grand room, his black-gloved hands clenched into tight fists at his sides.
"Will she survive, Doctor?" Alexander demanded, his voice devoid of all warmth, cutting through the tense silence like a razor blade.
"Yes, Mr. Alexander, but she needs absolute rest and heavy monitoring for the next several weeks," the physician answered professionally.
Clara stirred slightly, opening her swollen eyes to look up at her husband standing tall by the grand staircase.
"They... they work for someone inside your corporate board, Alexander," Clara whispered weakly, clutching his sleeve.
"Rest now, my love; I will hunt down every single rat involved in this atrocity," Alexander promised, kissing her forehead gently.
