Olivia called the nurse.
The entire process was very quick. After a few questions and tests that confirmed Zoey was in fact, O negative, they disinfected the area, prepped Zoey and began to extract the blood.
After two pints of blood, one of the nurses pulled out the needle and placed it onto the cart. "Alright, you're all good to go." The nurse smiled.
Zoey stood up to bid the nurse goodbye, but she felt drowsy. The world seemed to sway from side to side and her vision was beginning to blur.
"Zoey, are you alright?" Olivia frowned. Her eyebrows were knitted together in worry.
"I-I'm fine." Zoey lied, her voice coming out tired and weak.
The nurse quickly realized the situation. They had taken too much blood out of her!
"Here ma'am, have some green juice and apple slices from the hospital cafeteria. It'll help with your drowsy state." The nurse handed her a glass of green liquid and a plate of apples.
"Thank you." Zoey said, taking the food offered to her. She sat back down to quietly munch and drink the juice.
"We'll start the surgery now." The nurse said, wheeling the blood into a different room. After a few minutes, the surgery sign turned on.
Olivia sat in her chair, nervously nibbling her bottom lips as she patiently waited for the surgery to be over with.
Zoey noticed how worried Olivia was. She was shaking one of her legs and tapping her fingers on her thighs.
"Mm, Olivia, you never told me which brother it was." Zhao Lifei asked, sipping her juice and eating the fruits.
"Surprisingly, it's Nathan.."Olivia sighed.
'Nathan.?' Zoey felt a light buzz in her head. The name sounded so familiar. Where had she heard it before?
Zoey had known Olivia since they were mere babies, but she didn't remember any encounters with her older brother, considering he was a bit older than them.
"My parents think it's an assassination attempt." Olivia played with her fingers.
Zoey leaned closer and pulled her into a sideways hug.
"I-I know I shouldn't worry because assassination attempts happen all the time to rich and powerful men. But none of them ever came this close."
Being a multi-billion business tycoon at the young age of twenty-seven, her brother had gotten used to all sorts of attacks on him. He was usually prepared, but this time, he had let his guard down.
"W-what if, next time, the assassins succeed?" Olivia was so shaken at the thought, she could barely speak properly.
Zoey hugged olivia tighter. "Olivia, that's never going to happen."
"But what if-"
"There's no what if's. Have faith in your brother."
The surgery light flickered off. A doctor and a few nurses walked out of the room. The two immediately stood up.
"Doctor, how is he?" Olivia worriedly asked.
The doctor smiled, "His condition is very stabilized. The surgery was an immense success and he should be awake within 2-3 days."
"You may visit him in the VVIP ward assigned by the hospital's chairman." The doctor nodded toward the nurses who stepped forward as a guide.
The VIP ward was an expensive and impressive feat, but the VVIP ward was something completely different. Only the president, the prime minister, and extremely high ranking military officials could enter the room.
It wasn't something that money or status could buy, but Olivia's older brother could easily and effortlessly gain entrance.
When they stepped into the room, most people would've been shocked at the grand space. But they were not.They grew up in wealth; nothing ever fazed them.
The nurses were surprised to see their nonchalant and bland expression. Most people, regardless of their wealth or standing, would at least be slightly impressed by the gorgeous room suitable for royalty.
The VVIP hospital ward looked like one of the fancy rooms in the Buckingham Palace, yet these women stood there, completely unfazed!
Just when the doors clicked shut, Zoey phone rang. The name "Mother" popped up. Olivia saw the caller and frowned. "Pick it up, let's see what the Wicked Witch of the West wants."
Zoey picked up the phone and placed it on speaker. Instantly, the frigid voice of her mother sounded through.
"Well?! Are you coming or not? Why have you been ignoring my texts?!"
"Mother, I was busy and occupied with something important." Zoey checked her phone and realized it was on 'do not disturb.' When she turned off the setting, 30 texts flooded her phone.
"Busy and occupied?! Your family should come first, you insolent wench!"
Olivia scowled at the woman's tone.
"What is your point in calling me? Cut to the chase, mother. I have something urgent on hand." Zoey glanced at Olivia's stormy expression.
"Inpatient brat, I haven't started my lecture yet—"
"Your lecture is ten years too late." Zoey sniped, her words as sharp as a blade.
"Your beloved sister's birthday is a few days away. Are you coming or not?" Wang Nuoli pestered on.
Suddenly, a plan popped into Olivia's head.
Zoey pursed her lips. "I'm not—"
Olivia snatched her phone, "She's going."
And without waiting for a reply, Olivia hung up. Zoey gasped. She could not believe olovia just did that to her! Was she out of her mind? Did she forget to take her medicine this morning?!
"Are you crazy?! Why are you throwing me into the tiger's den?" Zoey scowled, angrily crossing her arms.
"I wouldn't do that without a bigger plan in mind." Olivia chuckled, a dark and mischievous smirk forming on her face.
"We both know that bastard James and the stupid Chloe would definitely be there since Kendel was their biggest supporter." Olivia laid out her plan.
"I hate to say this but James reputation is very good, there only some men who are better than him and my outstanding brother has a better surname than James Hunts, it is Smith. I will ask Noah to come with you for Kendel's birthday!" Olivia gleefully clapped her hands.
Zoey frowned. She didn't like where this plan was going...
"I can get Noah Smith to be your date for her banquet!" Olivia happily said, her eyes shining at the opportunity of face-slapping James Hunt.
