Chapter 885


    She strode toward the meeting room hastily.


    The sky outside boomed with thunder and lightning, casting a bright glow on her face, which bore a


    stern expression.


    Thud!


    She pushed the door to the meeting room open.


    Inside were the hospital director, Barney Hammer, the deputy director, Holger Sloth, and a few chief


    doctors from various departments.


    Ashlyn cast a cold look at Barney. “I want every doctor and nurse in this hospital gathered here


    immediately. I’m heading to the disaster area, and anyone who wishes to apany me may do so.


    Those who don’t wish toe along are wee to stay here in the hospital.”


    She cut to the chase without wasting any time.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Barney had been discussing this matter with the chief doctors and had no idea Ashlyn woulde this


    quickly.


    He soon regained hisposure and asked, “Aren’t you going to wait until tomorrow morning?”


    “We have to leave now. South Star Airlines will send a ne to pick us upter.” Ashlyn’s reply was


    curt. “The medical supplies need to be ready by then. You’ll be in charge of that, Dr. Hammer.” She


    then whipped out a bank card and stuffed it into his hand. “There is one hundred million inside.”


    Barney shivered. “One hundred million?”


    That is a lot of money, isn’t it?


    “Lucas donated fifty million, and I donated the rest,” Ashlyn said, then nced at Holger. “Inform the


    rest.”


    Holger and the other doctors gaped incredulously at the shocking scene.


    After all, one hundred million was a lot of money.


    They couldn’t believe she was generous enough to donate the money to buy medical supplies.


    Holger was about to make the call when he heard Ashlyn talking to someone on the phone. “It’s raining


    heavily all over the country, so it is essential that we take necessary steps to avoid waterlogging in the


    already affected areas. The downstream water levels will rise considerably, which in turn will have a


    domino effect on the upstream areas, worsening the situation for the victims living there. It is essential


    that we act quickly and prepare in advance for any potential flooding. We should send our team


    downstream to block the water and also notify the local government to get ready with sandbags to


    avoid any further flooding.”


    What did I just hear? Is she just a doctor? She’s amazing! How did shee up with the idea of


    preventing floods before they happen and preparing aid for those affected by the floods?


    “I’ll head back to my office now. Let me know when everyone has gathered,” Ashlyn said to Barney and


    the rest after the call ended. She then turned to leave, leaving them no room to hesitate.


    “Dr. Hammer, isn’t Dr. Berry too…” Holger was still a little bewildered even after notifying all the doctors


    and nurses to attend a meeting. “Why aren’t you mad when she gave orders to everyone, including


    you?”


    Barney shot him a re. “Don’t you know Mr. Nn bought this hospital?”


    “What?” Holger was close to tears. How could I forget such an important matter?


    Barney nced at Holger and pondered the fact that thetter was getting older. “Dr. Berry is our boss


    lady now. Who else could possibly be better suited to make the decisions around here?”


    The other chief doctors werepletely taken aback by the remarkable disy of self-assurance and


    assertiveness demonstrated by Ashlyn earlier.


    At that moment, in the small town of Xanfield in the southwest of the country, the earth below began to


    tremble and shake, causing a low rumble that seemed to reverberate through the town.


    A cacophony of thunderous crashes filled the air as items of furniture, decorations, and other


    household items came crashing down onto the floor.


    The homes in the town began trembling with tremendous force.


    “It’s an earthquake!”


    “Earthquake!”


    Various vigers were suddenly jolted awake by themotion and hastily hopped out of their beds.


    They rushed out of their homes hastily without even taking time to change out of their nightclothes.


    Some vigers were still roaming around as they hadn’t gotten around to going to bed yet.


    Some were attempting to ce phone calls, but with no sess. It seemed that the catastrophic


    earthquake had disrupted the signal, or some other unknown factor was at y. Unfortunately, their


    efforts were futile, as there seemed to be no signal around.


    The streets of the town were a sight to behold, with items and debris scattered all around. Many of the


    walls had been partially destroyed, creating an unsettling atmosphere.


    As the ground beneath them trembled, many people found themselves struggling to maintain their


    bnce and ended up tumbling to the floor.


    Suddenly, arge crack emerged on the ground like a giant python, ready to consume anything in its


    path.


    Someone screamed, “Holly! Holly! Holly fell into the crack!”


    The vige head was sobbing as he stopped Holly’s father from going to her. “Let’s go! We need to go


    now or risk falling into the crack!”


    “That’s my daughter! My daughter!” Holly’s father wailed in despair as a piece of concrete smashed into


    his calf, sending a sharp pain up his leg. “If she’s gone, I won’t be able to live without her. She means


    everything to me!”
