Jane Sampson nodded unconsciously, but as she stood up, she suddenly saw Daniel Taylorâs body sway noticeably. He clutched his forehead, and the wine cup in his hand became unsteady and fell onto the tabletop. In a few seconds, he collapsed to the ground level, unconscious.
The accident happened so fast that everyone at the table was shocked.
"Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!" Jane Sampsonâs hand holding the mobile phone was shaking, but fortunately, she quickly came to her senses and immediately dialed 120, then called Rock Bell in Capital Province.
People hurriedly moved the chairs out of the way, but since no one was a doctor, they dared not move Daniel Taylor for the time being.
Fortunately, there was a hospital nearby. In less than five minutes, medical staff arrived. After asking the clueless crowd a few questions, they carried Daniel Taylor to the ambulance.
Jane Sampson and King directly followed the ambulance to the hospital, while the dinner party dispersed. The others drove or caught a cab to the hospital.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Daniel Taylor was rushed into the Emergency Room. Jane Sampson was anxiously pacing outside when Daniel Taylor inside suddenly regained consciousness, surprising not only himself but also startling the line of medical staff in front of him.
"Jane, whatâs the situation with Director Taylor inside now?"
Matthew Chip and others arrived a bit later than the ambulance, and what they saw was Jane Sampson pacing anxiously outside the Emergency Room.
Jane Sampson was about to speak when a doctor, holding some stuff, hurried over and blurted out, "Are you Daniel Taylorâs relatives?"
"She is! She is!" Matthew Chip instinctively pushed Jane Sampson forward.
Jane Sampson was stunned for a moment, and King stepped forward, saying, "I am Director Taylorâs assistant."
"Daniel Taylorâs condition is neither good nor bad," said the doctor, shaking the stuff in his hand. "He came for an examination last time and left in the afternoon. I called him in the afternoon but he didnât answer, and now heâs been brought to the hospital again this evening."
The doctor looked back at Jane Sampson while speaking and asked, "Are you Mrs. Taylor?"
Jane Sampson shook her head again and again. The doctor expressed his confusion with a puzzled sound, then looked at Matthew Chip, as he had just pointed at Jane Sampson as a relative when asked.
At this time, the door to the Emergency Room opened, and two nurses came out. Seeing the doctor at the doorway, one of the nurses shouted, "Doctor Taylor, the patient has awakened and is claiming to feel no discomfort."
"You two, come in with me," Doctor Taylor beckoned Jane Sampson and King and led the way inside.
Just as Jane Sampson entered, Rock Bell called. When she picked up, Rock Bell asked about Daniel Taylorâs condition, sounding very anxious and concerned.
"Director Taylor has awakened, but we still donât know the full situation; the doctor just got here," Jane Sampson popped her head out from behind the doctor to glance at the person in the Bed and added, "Sister Tin, donât worry, the director looks to be in quite good spirits."
"Okay, keep an eye on things for me over there. Iâm already at the high-speed train station waiting for the express train; I wonât be able to get on it for about half an hour later," Rock Bell said, not hanging up immediately as if she was planning to listen to what the doctor had to say through Jane Sampsonâs phone.
"I called you several times this afternoon, and you didnât answer. It seems you had to come here in person tonight," Doctor Taylor flicked the stuff in his hand, which contained the reports from Daniel Taylorâs last examination.
