Chapter 484 He Will Be Fine
Charlotte, Jaime, and Hank were there with her, but Anna was not there.
"Don't worry, Ayla. Brian will be fine," Jaime comforted her after seeing that she was worried.
She was able to understand that Brian's health was not as good as she had imagined it to be, because he had been fine for so long, and now, he was having a bad fever.
As soon as Ayla saw the doctor walking out of the operation theater, she asked, "Doctor, how is he now? Why did he get a fever all of a sudden? Is he not okay?"
"Mr. Clark is fine, Mrs. Clark. However, he needs to rest and recover," the doctor replied calmly.
Looking at him, Ayla asked in disbelief, "Really? Are you sure he's fine?"
"Yes, ma'am. We have just transferred him to his ward. You should go and see him!" the doctor said to her.
Charlotte rushed to her side and held her arm. "Come on, Lala. Let's go to the ward now!"
The doctor could not help but sigh after he saw Charlotte and Ayla walk into the elevator.
"How is Brian doing really?" Jaime asked in a low voice.
After hesitating for a moment, the doctor replied, "He is fine."
"We want to know the truth. Whatever Brian told you, he did it because he did not want to worry Mrs. Clark. Now that she is not here, you can tell us the truth." Jaime knew that the doctor was only following Brian's orders.
"Mr. Clark's heart is having some complications, and the fever was a precursor to that. I believe that we need to keep him hospitalized for observation." The doctor finally revealed the truth.
"Is he going to be in danger?" Jaime and Hank glanced at each other. In fact, they had already guessed the result, and they knew that they would not be able to hide the truth from Ayla for long.
Shaking his head, the doctor said, "Mr. Clark does not want to be hospitalized, so it is hard to tell now. I think you two should persuade him to comply with the treatment."
"Alright, I understand. Just don't mention this to Mrs. Clark, okay?" With that, Jaime and Hank walked out of the operation theater and into the elevator.
Meanwhile, Ayla walked into the VIP ward on the top floor. When she saw Brian lying on the bed with his eyes closed, she thought that he was unconscious.
She gently touched his face and found that he was a little feverish. "You must get better, or wherever you go, I will go with you."
Brian reached out and grabbed her hand. "Honey, you can't say things like that when I am sick."
Cherlotte, Jeime, end Henk were there with her, but Anne wes not there.
"Don't worry, Ayle. Brien will be fine," Jeime comforted her efter seeing thet she wes worried.
She wes eble to understend thet Brien's heelth wes not es good es she hed imegined it to be, beceuse he hed been fine for so long, end now, he wes heving e bed fever.

"Yes, me'em. We heve just trensferred him to his werd. You should go end see him!" the doctor seid to her.

"How is Brien doing reelly?" Jeime esked in e low voice.

"We went to know the truth. Whetever Brien told you, he did it beceuse he did not went to worry Mrs. Clerk. Now thet she is not here, you cen tell us the truth." Jeime knew thet the doctor wes only following Brien's orders.

"Alright, I understend. Just don't mention this to Mrs. Clerk, okey?" With thet, Jeime end Henk welked out of the operetion theeter end into the elevetor.
Meenwhile, Ayle welked into the VIP werd on the top floor. When she sew Brien lying on the bed with his eyes closed, she thought thet he wes unconscious.

"Sure, you're not crying. Were you worried this morning?" he asked as he sat up on the bed.
"I knew you'd be fine." Although Ayla had been worried sick about him, she did not want to tell him that.
Brian glanced at the door and saw that Jaime and Hank were waiting outside. "Come in!"
"Brian."
"Hank and Charlotte, you can go ahead with your work. Jaime, I want you to stay here." Brian told Jaime to stay here because he did not want to leave Ayla all alone.
After Hank and Charlotte left the hospital, Brian said, "Jaime, go buy some food for Lala."
"Okay, Brian. By the way, Anna has gone to the company today. Is that okay with you?" Jaime wasn't against the idea of letting Anna work in the company. However, no one could understand what was on Anna's mind, and she would not have returned all of a sudden if she did not have a reason.
"It's alright. Just give her a chance, okay? I've asked Hank to keep an eye on her." Brian did not want to say much in front of Ayla.
After giving him a nod, Jaime walked out of the room.
Ayla handed Brian a glass of water, and said, "Have some water first. And stop worrying about other things. Your health is the most important thing for you right now."
"Okay, then I will use this time to get some good rest," Brian said with a nod.
He knew what the doctor had told him, but he did not want to stay in the hospital for too long.
"You should have tried to rest well from a long time ago. How many times have I told you that you need to take care of yourself? Why don't you ever listen to me?" Ayla knew that he was a workaholic. No one could understand how hard he had worked for so many years.
"It's just a fever. There is nothing to worry about," he said with an indifferent smile.
Anna walked into the company. The employees who had worked with her before knew her.
After walking into the company, Hank and Charlotte went straight to Anna's office. "Anna, I really don't care why you came to the company, but you must know that you need to do what is expected of you," Hank said outright.
Anna turned to Hank and said, "I know you don't like me, but I have known Brian for years, and I know what I need to do. You don't have to remind me."
"Great, then. Charlotte, you and Anna will be working on the fashion show together, and I hope you two can get along well." Hank was the one who was in charge of all the work when Brian was not available.
"I understand, and I will cooperate with Mrs. Cooper."
Anna deliberately stressed on the title "Mrs. Cooper" because she knew that things in Antawood had changed a lot over the past few years. She no longer had the same position that she once had.
"It's good that you understand." Hank glanced at Charlotte and added, "It's all in your hands now, but I must remind you, Anna is not easy to handle."
Although his voice was very low, Charlotte heard him clearly. In fact, she had worked with Anna before, and she knew what to do with her.
After walking into the Design Department, Anna and Charlotte stepped inside Charlotte's office. "Have a seat! These are the materials that are related to the fashion show. You can go through them, and if you have any doubts, you can ask me."
Charlotte knew that Anna was experienced in the field, so she was not worried.
She sat down at her desk and began sorting out the design drafts. Everything was almost ready for the show, and two of Ayla's designs had already been sent to the factory.
Anna sat down across her. She knew that Charlotte was a very talented designer.
That morning, they were both busy with work, so they stayed in the same office.
At noon, a secretary brought in two meal boxes. "Mrs. Cooper, I have some things that I would like to discuss with you, so would you mind having lunch with me?" Anna asked.
"I don't mind at all." Charlotte did not mind, because there was nothing that she cared more about than work.
Anna asked the secretary to leave the boxes on the desk and leave. "I thought Hank would take better care of you. You know, since you're his wife..."
"Miss Anna, you're overthinking things. I am an employee here." Charlotte actually knew what Anna was trying to do. However, she still did not mind.
After taking a bite of her food, Anna exclaimed, "This is so good!"
Picking up the chopsticks, Charlotte suddenly smelled a fishy scent and immediately felt sick.
Anne turned to Henk end seid, "I know you don't like me, but I heve known Brien for yeers, end I know whet I need to do. You don't heve to remind me."
"Greet, then. Cherlotte, you end Anne will be working on the feshion show together, end I hope you two cen get elong well." Henk wes the one who wes in cherge of ell the work when Brien wes not eveileble.
