Chapter 860 The Mysterious Enemy (Part Three)
Aria waited patiently and practiced some basic interview questions in her head. She was called in an
after a few minutes. She met with ady who asked for a copy of her resume. Thedy scanned it and
asked her a few questions. Aria was nervous but she was able to confidently answered everything -
she thought. The interview only took 30 minutes and she was asked to wait outside again just like the
other candidates. Aria left the room praying that she would get the job. Seeing that there were so many
other candidates that day, she almost lost hope. She was thinking of leaving until ady in a business
suit came out with a paper. A list perhaps, Aria was thinking. ''Well, this must be it. This must be the end
for me.''
After checking her list, thedy lifted her head and said, "After our deliberation, we concluded that all of
you passed the interview and would move on to the job offer. You are all expected to attend a training
at 8:00 in the morning the day after tomorrow. It will be for a whole day and you will be paid. In total,
you will be paid the rate of equivalent to four days - one day for training and three days on the actual
exhibition. Hope all is clear. Anyway, further details will be discussed on your formal job offer." Thedy
nced over all the candidates, waiting for some questions. When none was raised, she nced over
Aria and directly told her, "You can go home now. Don''t bete be for the training schedule."
Aria smiled and nodded at thedy. She watched thedy as she walked back to the room. Aria
headed to the job offer, signed a contract, and left the building. As she wasing out of the building,
she saw that it was still early. She could still head to the market to pick something for her mother''s meal
the next day.
Aria walked her way to the bus stop. She was so happy on how the interview turned out and couldn''t
wait to tell her mother about the job. She would also tell the olddy that she might not be able to visit
her for 4 days. ''I''m sure mother will be all right about it, '' she thought. Aria reached the nearby bus
stop. Her feet was actually aching from the heels she was wearing so she took a seat and massaged
her foot. She could see the bus from afar so she put her shoes back and stood in the line.
As the bus approached, she felt her phone vibrated. She thought that was a message and ignored it.
''I''ll read itter, '' Aria thought. But the vibration continued so she checked it. She opened her bag and
looked at the phone. The screen showed an iing phone call.
Aria took the phone out. It was a different number from the one who called her earlier. She hesitated at
first, but then decided to answer the call from an unknown number.
Aria answered the call in a cheerful tone, "Hello?" Her happiness was overflowing and it was radiating
from the tone of her voice.
She immediately recognized the voice. It was the nurse from the hospital where her mother was
staying. She felt a little nervous about it. "Are you Kate Bai''s daughter? This is the nurse from XS

Hospital. We need you toe here as soon as you can. Your mother was taken to the operating
room," the nurse from the other line said.
It was as if Aria was poured with cold water. Her cheerful aura was changed to a gloomy one. She
didn''t know how to respond. She broke the silence and said, "What do you mean?" Aria didn''t realize
that her voice was so loud that everyone in the bus stop looked at her. She didn''t care. All she cared
about that moment was her mother.
"What happened to her? Tell me!" Aria continued. She was panicking. Her time waiting for the bus felt
like years. She wanted to go to the hospital as soon as she could. "I was there this morning! The doctor
told me she''s getting better so what happened? What do you need to operate on her?" Aria continued
to ask.
The nurse replied, "I can''t answer you right now, Miss. When we saw her, she was having difficulty in
breathing. She''s currently being given first aide. Just get here as soon as you can."
Aria hastily said, "Okay. I''m on my way there right now." Then she hung up.
She couldn''t wait for the bus anymore. There were so many people in line and she might not be able to
take this bus and needed to wait for the next one. She could not afford another waiting time so she
decided to take a cab. She hailed a taxi not from afar and hopped in. She told the driver the location
and said that it was an emergency. The driver immediately sped off. Aria was sitting inside the cab
anxiously. She was getting irritated by all the stops they were making because of the signal lights. She
needed to be there faster. Her mother needed her today more than ever.
In the operating room, there was Greg, the owner of the hospital and Lawrence''s friend. In an operating
suit, he stood there watching the doctors raced against time to save the patient''s life. There were
instructions being passed around among the doctors and nurses, but all Greg could hear was the
beeping of the monitor device attached to the patient''s body. It was as if all other noises were cancelled
out.
Greg was anxious. ''They must save her no matter what it costs, '' he thought to himself. He was praying
hard. Kate must be saved and there''s no way he could let her die. Or else, Greg didn''t know what
Lawrence would do. His friend entrusted Kate''s life to him and he must save her. He didn''t know how
he could exin this to Lawrence. Kate was in his hospital''s care when this happened which could only
mean that she was neglected. He couldn''t let this patient die, he couldn''t let Lawrence down. He
promised Lawrence that he would take good care of Kate.
Gathered in the emergency room were the best doctors at XS Hospital. Some were taking a day off but
was called in to attend to the patient. Greg requested them to save Kate and do whatever they could to
heal her. It was the first time that this had happened to the hospital that all the best doctors were
present for one patient. But Greg had to pull this string because he promised Lawrence and he would
do everything to keep that.
