Chapter 567 - Whereabouts Leaked

After Cheyenne couldn't help herself from kissing Lucas's face, she immediately noticed that the two of them were still standing on the street, and people were coming and going. She blushed, quickly turned her head, and coughed twice. "Ahem, let's… quickly go back to see Dad!"

With a gentle smile on his face, Lucas reached out to hold Cheyenne's hand and grinned. "Okay!"

Hand in hand, the two of them returned to William's ward with a sweet look of joy on their faces.

Tonight, the two of them would stay by William's side on the spare bed beside William's in the ward.

Cheyenne held onto William's hand and whispered into his ears with determination, "Dad, don't worry. You'll regain consciousness soon!"

They were both silent for the rest of the night.

The next morning, after finishing handling some daily affairs in the Stardust Corporation, Lucas drove to the airport near noon to pick up Maddy.

In fact, it had been nearly two years since he last met Maddy. This time, Maddy came to help him treat William, which was a huge favor to him. He thought that he had to thank her well.

Meanwhile, in a hospital in San Francisco…

In one of the VIP wards, Marc's legs had medicine carefully applied to them and then bandaged with snowy white gauze.

A young nurse gave Marc, who had broken out in cold sweat from the excruciating pain, a painkiller injection and left.

Standing at the side with a look of dejection, Marc's father, Moses, said to the attending doctor, "Doctor, is there really… no way to save my son's legs?"

The attending doctor let out a long sigh and said with an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, but the bones in the calves of your son's legs have all suffered severe fractures, and his muscles and tendons are severely damaged. We really don't have a solution, and the only thing we can do in his case is to amputate his legs."

"Amputation? No way!" Moses gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed the doctor's collar, and hollered furiously, "How can you not do anything?! My son is the most promising descendant of the Kingston family, and now his legs are terribly injured… No matter what, you must find a way to cure him and let him stand up again!"

Marc had already been expelled from the Kingston family by Lance, the head of the family. But because this incident was humiliating to the Kingstons, they had given a strict order at the time that no one was allowed to breathe a single word about what had happened yesterday morning at the Kingston manor.

Therefore, not many people were aware that Marc had been expelled from the family, apart from those who were there at the time.

For the sake of his only son, Moses had even compensated his life savings. From beginning to end, he always cared about his son.

Now that Marc's legs were injured, and he might become a disabled person who could no longer stand and walk for the rest of his life, how could he possibly continue living?

Moreover, Marc had always been the most valued grandson in the eyes of Lance, and Moses firmly believed that his father had only agreed to kick him out because he was compelled and left with no choice. As long as Marc's legs were cured, and they thought of some other solutions, they would definitely be able to convince Lance to rescind his order and accept Marc again!

But the premise for all of this required that Marc's legs be restored to how they used to be!

Moses knew that if Marc's legs couldn't be cured, he'd become crippled, and there was no way the Kingstons would let him go back and inherit the family!

The attending doctor's heart jumped, and he felt rather suffocated because of the strain on his neck.

There was nothing he could do about Moses's fury!

"Wait, wait! Even if you act like this, I still can't cure Mr. Kingston's legs… Oh, right! If you can find the expert Maddy Stone, Mr. Kingston's legs might still be curable!"

"Maddy Stone? Who is that?" Moses immediately asked, finding a straw to clutch at.

"Uh, Miss Maddy Stone is an extremely competent doctor. Rumor has it that she has extraordinary medical skills, almost reaching a legendary level. Of course, this might be a little exaggerated. But her medical skills are really superb. If there's someone in this world who can cure Mr. Kingston's legs, it must be her!" The attending doctor hurriedly revealed what he knew.

Moses overjoyed for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Is that so? That's great! Where is she now!"

"This…" A look of hesitation appeared on the doctor's face.

In fact, a medical practitioner of Maddy's level wasn't someone a mere attending doctor like him could know. The main reason he knew about her was that when he was on the phone with his mentor last night, he had inadvertently overheard his mentor mentioning that the top medical expert Maddy Stone would arrive in Orange County tomorrow. His mentor was rather emotional and regretted that he was too far away to meet this legendary expert.

Strictly speaking, the attending doctor didn't have the right to reveal Maddy's whereabouts.

He was also a little worried that he might get himself into some unnecessary trouble because of this.

Moses was extremely anxious, and he hurriedly took out a check from his pocket, signed it with a whoosh, and handed it to the doctor. "Here's four hundred thousand! I just need you to tell me her whereabouts!"

The doctor naturally agreed happily because he just had to give Moses an address, and he could obtain a few years' worth of his salary.

"I got the news just yesterday that Miss Stone is touching down in Orange County at 12:30 p.m. today. You can go there to try your luck, but I can't guarantee the rest," the attending doctor said while taking the check from Moses.

"Okay, no problem, as long as I can find her! Also, I don't know Miss Stone, so we'll need you to provide us with a picture of her."

The attending doctor naturally agreed.

Although he didn't have a picture of Maddy, he was certain that his mentor, who admired her a lot, definitely had one, so he could just send a copy to him.

Soon, the attending doctor sent Maddy's flight information and photo to Moses.

At the side, Marc saw all of this. He had already lost interest in life and had been dejectedly waiting for his death. But when he suddenly heard the good news that he could still be cured, he became extremely excited. "Dad, is it really possible for me to stand up again?"

Moses said with great certainty, "Definitely! I will certainly invite Miss Stone over to treat you! Don't worry. One day, you will be able to stand up again, and then you'll still be the glorious scion of the Kingston family!"

Marc exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Dad! If I really get well, I will definitely meet your expectations and not let you down!"

Both father and son had excitement written all over their faces.

Without delay, Moses immediately set off for the airport after speaking to Marc for a while.

No matter what, he had to bring Maddy over so that his son could be treated!
