She Is A CEO

Chapter 1081 Safe Escape

As soon as Miles heard this, Casper raised a skeptical voice before he even spoke.

"Going to Tieland? Can't she use medication for treatment?"

Miles turned his head and gave Casper a cold glance.

"Drug treatment is no longer effective. We need to use physical methods to correct Mrs. Wood's spine, and the doctor's massage technique is the best option. Now that Mrs. Wood is experiencing severe dizziness, it would be better to send her for treatment as soon as possible." Dr. Anderson offered a sensible opinion.

Casper frowned upon hearing this and felt that something was not quite right, so he did not express his opinion.

"Dr. Anderson, let me discuss with my son and I will get back to you later." Miles stood up and glanced at Casper, gesturing for him to follow him outside.

Casper calmly led Miles to the hallway outside, staring at him coldly as if trying to see through him.

"I'm going to send Libby for treatment," Miles said bluntly.

"Do you think I would agree?" Casper's lips curved into a cold arc.

"She is so sick now. Do you still want to take her as a hostage?!" Miles was furious. "If Libby dies in Athegate, I will never let you go!"

Casper chuckled and looked at Miles with a sly expression, asking back, "Do you think I'm that foolish? If Libby leaves, how can I still persuade you to stay? So she won't leave!"

"Casper is in your hands. I won't ignore his safety. Besides, I didn't say that I would accompany Libby to go. If you promise to let Libby go see a doctor, I will continue to stay in Athegate. With me here, it doesn't matter whether Libby stays or not," Miles said with a slightly relaxed expression.

Miles' words were unexpected for Casper. He thought Miles would stay by Libby's side. However, being naturally suspicious, he said,

"Are you willing to let Libby go to see a doctor alone? Are you willing to bear it?"

"I'm worried about her, and also worried about Casper," Miles' eyes were already weathered with hardship, and he couldn't hide his sadness at this moment. "Isai will accompany her, and with him there I can rest assured."

"Okay," since Miles was willing to stay, there was no need to force Libby to stay. Besides, it would be more convenient for her not to be involved in their actions. And he didn't have to pretend to be a good son anymore. So Casper simply said,

"As long as you don't leave, she can go wherever she wants to seek medical treatment."

Despite this, Casper still brought the X-ray taken at Anderson's Clinic with Libby to the hospital in the afternoon. He asked a doctor he knew before to take a look and inquire whether the doctor recommended by Dr. Anderson was really famous.

"You see, this patient's cervical spine is twisted in several places and she really needs to be hospitalized. Dizziness is common during this season, and if left untreated, the patient will only get worse. I've heard of the doctor you mentioned. He's a nationally renowned physician who is currently consulting at Tieland. Going to him for treatment is currently the best option."

After hearing the diagnosis from Dr. Anderson that was identical to what Miles had said earlier, Casper finally believed that Libby needed to leave Athegate for medical treatment. He couldn't shake off his unease about it.

In the afternoon, Miles asked an old friend for help and borrowed their helicopter to take Libby to Tieland. When they parted ways, Libby was reluctant to leave Casper behind and wondered why her husband didn't come with her.

Hearing Libby's weak murmurs nearby, Casper spoke up on behalf of Miles,

"Mom, Dad and I both wanted to go with you but you know Stable Growth has been opposing us all along. We can't have no one looking after our company. Besides, Dad has already arranged for Isai to accompany you so you can rest assured that everything will be fine while you focus on your treatment. Once you're better, we'll bring you back right away."

Libby always understood her son well so she didn't insist any further before leaving, but she kept encouraging her husband before departing, hoping he would teach their son well and not argue with him too much.

As the helicopter slowly rose into the sky, Miles became more serious while Casper seemed relaxed instead - even warning,

"Miles, I promised I'd let her get treated now so it'd be best if you stayed put in Athegate. If I find out anything suspicious from your end, your son won't live another day! And trust me, I mean every word!" Miles turned his head slowly towards Casper, his face resembling his son's completely filled with malice. He felt bitter inside but couldn't say a word.

Casper knew Miles was looking at him through his own son's face, and purposely rubbed his own face as he laughed,

"Don't worry. I'll use my identity as 'Casper' properly. You should do what a 'father' should do, right?"

Miles gave one last glance at Casper before turning around and leaving. Accordingly, Lucia received news of Libby safely leaving Athegate. Arthur informed Lucia about it over phone call, and Lucia sighed deeply,

"It looks like Miles has made up his mind."

"The enemy of our enemy is our friend. If there's ever an opportunity, I'll hint at helping him out. I'll definitely lend a hand when needed," Arthur replied confidently.

"Knowing Miles' style, he probably won't ask for help directly. Let's clear some obstacles for him in secret," Lucia said, understanding Miles well.

"Has Lauren started moving?" Arthur asked with a light laugh.

"You're his old friend. Why are you asking me?" Lucia teased. Even over the phone, she always had a faint smile on her face when talking to him.

"Doesn't he always come to you first when something happens?" Jealousy crept into his voice through the signal.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Lucia couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Are you jealous? Lauren is smart. He knows that compared to me, I care more about Eve's feelings. And you... you would probably just give advice based on facts." So Lauren always came to her first. Lucia couldn't help but think that if Lauren went to Arthur for advice instead, they would probably argue.

"You guys are too emotional," Arthur didn't deny Lucia's teasing at all.

A smile played at the corner of Lucia's lips as she thought to herself that he was actually the most sentimental one of them all.

Three days later, four men entered Athegate and headed straight for Dekee Hotel after getting off the plane with their luggage in tow. They met their boss there. Lauren himself had handpicked these four men since only they could act without drawing attention here in Athegate. After Stoffer and Dely settled them in nicely, Lauren gathered them together and explained in detail why he had brought them over this time around. The four subordinates were all well-trained individuals who pledged allegiance to their young master without question or hesitation.
