She Is A CEO

Chapter 1074 Fair Trade

On the third day, Eve's illness finally fully recovered, but she was extremely weak and looked listless without any energy. Lauren thought about it and decided to take her to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed that her fever had already been cured by Lauren's careful care, but she was weak because she hadn't taken medicine properly for these few days. The fastest solution now was to have a blood transfusion. Lauren looked at Eve who couldn't even sit still on the stool and after thinking for a moment, he walked out.

In Stable Growth's CEO office, Nia sat up straight as soon as she saw Lauren's phone number calling. After clearing her throat twice and adjusting her tone of voice, she answered the phone, "Mr. Osade, it's rare that you would call me. Is there something you need?"

She was asking questions when she already knew the answer!

Lauren coldly snorted in his heart and said, "Eve had a high fever a few days ago. Although it has subsided now, her body is weak and needs you to come over immediately for a blood transfusion."

"What?! Eve had a high fever?!" Nia's surprised tone could almost be included in textbooks as an example of feigned concern as she asked, "How is she now? Why would someone like her suddenly get sick?" Lauren didn't want to waste time with Nia or listen to her acting skills anymore; he said coldly, "We are at Municipal Harmony Hospital. Come over here right away."

"Well..." Nia hesitated while dragging out time.

"What?" Lauren didn't have much patience left.

"If there wasn't anything else going on today, I would go see Eve right away," Nia lied shamelessly while playing with newly done nails without batting an eye or showing any signs of guilt or remorse. "But I have several important clients scheduled today... so..."

"I'll give you half an hour to get here," Lauren ignored what Nia said completely before giving his orders firmly.

"Mr. Osade, don't you hear me saying that I'm busy?" Nia continued with vague excuses, "Otherwise why don't you take Eve back first then I can give blood in two days?"

"Don't bother coming if not within half an hour; otherwise, you will regret it." Lauren didn't want to argue anymore so he hung up directly after delivering this message.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Nia was cunning enough that once hearing this sentence, she knew that Eve must be seriously ill which made Lauren soft-hearted. She quickly put on coat, picked Dely who always stayed outside resting area, and shouted, "Dely, your young master wants me over there. Let's go!"

Dely glanced at Nia disdainfully but got up silently following behind. Nia sneered arrogantly in secret. What did being haughty mean when he still had no choice but obeying orders from others?

Within half an hour, Nia arrived at the hospital where she saw frail-looking Eve along with Lauren.

Seeing her sister coming, Eve called out to her in a weak voice, but the next second she fainted in Lauren's arms.

"Eve!" Lauren exclaimed in shock, quickly instructing Dely to fetch a doctor. In the midst of his panic, he looked up and was surprised to see Nia's calm expression as she gazed steadily at him and Eve. "Nia!" Lauren gritted his teeth, filled with cold indifference and contemptuous hatred towards Nia at this moment.

"Mr. Osade, didn't I come here?" Nia said with a forced look of grievance. "Eve and I are sisters. She has been fainting since childhood, just due to temporary anemia. You don't think I don't care about her, do you?"

"Have you ever cared?" Lauren's voice was cold, and he asked Nia in return, "Don't tell me you don't know why she has a fever!"

When Lauren found Eve that day, her words were full of loopholes. Lauren had already guessed that she had gone to see Nia. Seeing her standing alone in the cold wind shivering, it was clear what Nia's purpose was!

Nia smiled faintly, looking indifferent and noncommittal. She only asked Lauren,

"What do you think about it?"

Lauren stared at Nia without saying a word.

Nia thought that Lauren still wouldn't agree, so she picked at her nails and said,

"Whether you agree to help me get rid of Casper is your personal freedom, but donating blood is also my freedom. At worst, I will let Casper kill me, so Eve will not live long!" When it came to the last sentence, Nia's face showed a fierce expression, without any trace of being a sister. She saw Lauren's angry eyes and spoke even more recklessly,

"This is a fair deal between us. If you save my life, you are also saving Eve's life. We both get what we need. If you don't want to, I have no objections."

Just when Lauren pursed his lips and said nothing, Dely had already brought the doctor and ran over from a distance. Seeing this, Nia leaned down and gave Lauren an ultimatum, "Mr. Osade, have you made a decision? If you don't agree, I will have to leave."

Lauren kept staring at Nia, remembering every second of her insidiousness, and finally let go and said,

"Give Eve a blood transfusion."

Nia's face lit up instantly and she laughed, saying,

"I'll take it as you have already agreed!"

Lauren did not deny it, and at this moment the doctor also arrived. Nia took a breath and immediately put on a worried expression, saying to the doctor,

"Doctor, please prepare for a blood transfusion quickly. Only my blood can save my sister."

Fresh blood flowed into her body, and Eve woke up in a daze halfway through the transfusion. She opened her eyes to see Lauren, who was worried about her, and her sister who was donating blood for her. She immediately felt guilty.

"Lauren, I'm sorry I made you worry again."

"Don't talk," Lauren comforted softly. "Just rest and recover."

Nia took the opportunity to add, "Yes, Eve, don't talk for now. Wait until I finish donating blood and you feel better before speaking."

Eve listened to Lauren and her sister's advice and closed her eyes to doze off. Little did she know that when she closed her eyes, Nia met Lauren's gaze with a smug expression while he looked furious.

Nia wasn't afraid of Lauren's anger anymore since Eve had changed her mind about helping her after refusing before. Nia knew that Eve would never go against what she said even if it went against their principles; this ace card was firmly in Nia's hand, so what did she have to fear?

Half an hour later, the transfusion was complete, which always helped Eve recover quickly from weakness or fainting spells like earlier on. Now there were lights in Eve's eyes as she thanked Nia and especially praised how much love she had for her sister.

Nia pretended not to care but gently stroked Eve's hair while saying there was no need for thanks as if anyone else would think that Nia cared deeply about protecting her sister.

Lauren stood silently on the side without revealing any emotions behind his usual cold demeanor, which left everyone wondering what he might be thinking at this moment?
