Chapter 265
At Appolis Hospital.
Uriah’s face was ashen when he returned.
Seeing him like this, Carl felt a sudden pang of anxiety. He discreetly pulled Uriah aside, avoiding Alexander’s gaze, and asked cautiously, “Uriah, whose call was that?”
Uriah couldn’t contain his frustration. “Who else but Ben! All he wanted was for Susan to donate a bit of blood. He was so anxious, as if Susan was heading to her doom.”
Although Carl knew Uriah was exaggerating, his heart skipped a beat at the mention of Ben. “Ben knows already?”
Despite having decided to act against Susan, the thought of Ben’s ferocity still unnerved Carl.
Over the years, Ben had ruthlessly eliminated numerous adversaries by the ways of the Storm Group.
Previously, Carl’s disputes with Ben were minor.
But this time, by forcing Susan to donate blood, Ben likely crossed a line.
Nobody could predict Ben’s reaction.
Uriah glanced at Carl, his brow furrowed. “Why are you panicking? Mrs. Landor is doing this voluntarily, isn’t she? Even if Ben is upset, once Mrs. Landor is out, she’ll surely explain it to him.”
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Carl agreed. “Right, right. Susan is a noble–hearted girl. Her willingness to donate blood for Yana’s sake is also considering the relations between our two nations. I’m proud to have such a daughter, and Ben will be proud of his wife too.”
“That’s more like it,” Uriah said, patting Carl’s shoulder before walking away.
Carl stood motionless, his gaze flickering, then turning increasingly sinister.
Initially, he planned to wait until Susan left the emergency room to make his move. But now, he couldn’t wait any longer.

He had to act immediately.
Before Ben arrived, be needed to ensure Susan’s death appeared natural and untraceable.
The emergency room was off–limits. He could not get in.
But the medical staff had access.
Carl had already laid the groundwork in the hospital.
Now, desperate, Carl believed that nothing was impossible with enough money.
If he couldn’t do it, he wouldn’t have enough money.
The allure of wealth can sway hearts. With a substantial offer, Carl was convinced someone would take the risk
for him.
Carl’s gaze darkened as he made up his mind.
Quick
He had to be quick.
Given Ben’s protectiveness over Susan.
Carl estimated it wouldn’t be long before he arrived.
Once Ben was here, there was no telling what might happen.
Looking around furtively, Carl stealthily made a phone call.
Ten minutes later.
Carl tried to compose himself as he returned to the emergency room entrance.
“Mr. Miller, where did you just go?” Alexander eyed him suspiciously.
“Just needed to calm my nerves, went out for a quick smoke,” Carl hurriedly replied.

Alexander didn’t probe further.
However, his gaze toward Carl carried a hint of distance.
Carl knew that revealing Alexander’s identity to the government authorities had caused some friction.

After all, he was dressed casually. If she directly revealed his identity, it would be strange if Alexander was happy.
But Carl wasn’t worried about that now.
His main concern was the confirmation of Yana’s identity.
Given Alexander and Judith’s desire for their own daughters, they would give him preferential treatment for the
sake of fana.
However, what Carl was really anxious about was something else.
He sat in his seat and waited anxiously.
He had paid a substantial amount of money, and he expected quick action.
Otherwise, when Ben arrived.
The success of his plan would be uncertain.
As Carl sat anxiously waiting, a nurse hurriedly passed by, pushing a medical cart.
Carl’s heart eased a bit as he saw her.
She didn’t look at him but briskly entered the emergency room with her cart.
Because there were indeed urgent medical supplies in her operating car, and no one stopped her. Everything
went very smoothly.
However, Jane couldn’t help but wipe a tear from her eyes. “So many people have gone in and out. How is Yana doing?”
“She’ll be fine, she has to be,” Judith murmured, staring at the emergency room door.

She had just found her daughter and hadn’t even had a chance to really look at her.
If anything happened to Yana, how would she live in the future.
Alexander sighed and silently embraced Judith, joining her in silent prayer.
“Mr. Landor, this area is sealed off. You can’t go in.”
Your
At this moment, the voice of a security guard came from not far away.
Ben had arrived?
Carl’s heart skipped a beat, then gradually relaxed.
What was he afraid of!
People didn’t fight with officials.
No matter how powerful Ben was, he was still a businessman.
Now, there was Uriah and the king.
Did Ben really dare to make trouble?
Unless he wanted to die.
Just as Carl relaxed, he heard Ben’s icy command. “Break through!”
A commotion ensued.
“This is…” Alexander looked at Uriah with some hesitation.

Uriah quickly said, “It’s nothing, just a little misunderstanding. Mr. Landor is just overly concerned about his wife. I’ll go and invite him in.”
Uriah hurried off.
Reaching the corridor, he saw two groups in a standoff.

Uriah suddenly had a headache. He quickly said, “Stop, let Mr. Landor in.”
Ben gave Uriah a brief glance, his face expressionless, and walked straight in.
The others stepped aside, no longer obstructing his path.

Uriah followed Ben, saying, “Your wife volunteered to donate blood. Please, don’t make a scene now. Maintaining a good impression with the king and queen of Tonico is beneficial for your business.”
Ben, lips pursed, hastened his pace.
Uriah thought Ben had heeded his advice and sighed in relief. “Glad you understand. Your wife’s noble act this time is commendable. I’ll ensure it’s recognized, and future policies will be more favorable to you.”
Before he could finish, Ben had already left him behind.
Uriah, out of breath, hurried to catch up with Ben.
But Ben had reached the emergency room door.
“Mr. Landor.” Alexander greeted Ben with a friendly smile.
After all, even as a king, he had to show respect to a businessman of Ben’s caliber.
Ben, however, didn’t even glance at Alexander. He strode past him, reaching the emergency room door in a few steps.
Then, he lifted his foot and fiercely kicked the door.
The door remained unyielding.
Ben, expressionless, kicked again.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded.
Uriah, panting, finally caught up. Seeing Ben’s actions, Uriah incredulously said, “Ben, what are you doing!”
