---- Chapter 128 Wendy needed to tell Liam about his car, but her phone showed that his phone was powered off. She found this strange , as Liam rarely turned off his phone and was usually easy to reach. Feeling oddly unsettled, Wendy headed to the hospital, preparing to meet the mysterious patient. Gregory was already waiting in his office. "Ms. Hurst will be undergoing long-term treatment ina private room here at our hospital. Iam the attending physician, and you'll be my assistant, Wendy.

You'll also help with her treatment." Wendy nodded in acknowledgment. Turning to her, Gregory continued, "The special medical task force will discuss the test results we regularly conduct to guide ongoing treatment. The patient has already been admitted. I'll take you to her shortly so you can get acquainted." "So soon?" Wendy was a bit surprised. "I thought she'd arrive this afternoon." "Right after she got off the plane, she was sent straight to the hospital," Gregory said as he walked ahead.

"One more thing -the patient's identity is sensitive , so confidentiality must be strictly maintained." ---- Curious, Wendy asked, "Am I still not allowed to know her true identity?" Gregory chuckled upon hearing that. "I forgot to tell you about her." As they talked, they arrived on the floor with the fewest patients, which was made up of private hospital rooms. The patient's name was Margaret Hurst.

Since the age of 18, she had devoted nearly five decades of her life to the national defense sector of Halvaria. Over the past five decades , Margaret's countless strategies had elevated Halvaria's defense systems to a nearly impenetrable level. On top of that, she was also a physicist who had given almost her entire life to Halvaria, and her value went far beyond that.

As such, the higher-ups insisted on curing Margaret at all costs, as losing her would be equivalent to losing a vital asset of Halvaria. + Following Gregory , Wendy entered a private hospital room and saw an elderly woman with gray hair ina hospital gown. However, she was spirited and appeared no older than 60 years old. Margaret was sitting on the bed. She didn't have the usual warmth or frailty seen in most elderly people.

Although she was elderly, it was clear she had been beautiful ---- in her younger years. However, her face hadn't yet withered with old age and bore a serious and dignified expression. Her eyes were sharp like a hawk's, and there was no slouch in her upright posture. She commanded respect just by sitting there. 'The moment Wendy laid her eyes on Margaret, she felt deeply shocked.

Hearing about Margaret's achievements had already earned Wendy's admiration, but she was struck by a sense of awe now that she was seeing her in person, as if she had just met a celebrity. "Dr. Hendrix, do I need to undergo a thorough examination?" Margaret asked. Even her voice was full of vigor. If Wendy hadn't known she suffered from two rare diseases , she might not have thought she was ill. "Yes, but the hospital needs some time to prepare.

I'll notify you 30 minutes in advance, so just be ready by then." Margaret nodded and turned to look at Wendy. Her gaze was direct and intense, making Wendy feel slightly overwhelmed. Gregory introduced, "This is the doctor Professor Griffin recommended to you, Wendy Sanders." Wendy gave a slight nod before politely saying, "Ms. Hurst, if ---- you have any thoughts or concerns throughout the treatment, please feel free to share them with me." Nodding, Margaret said, "I trust you.

After all, Professor Griffin isn't the only one who recommended you." Hearing this, Wendy stared at her in surprise. "Who else recommended me?" Margaret merely showed a rare, faint smile, showing no intention of answering her question. Gregory glanced at the time. "I have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave Wendy here to answer your questions." He then patted Wendy on the shoulder , entrusting her with this responsibility. Looking into Gregory's somewhat clouded eyes, Wendy instantly understood what he was trying to do.
