Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 678:

The marketing manager exclaimed, “What are we supposed to do now? With Mr. Phillips out of commission, it’s up to us to protect Phillips Group for him.”

The air was thick with tension as everyone spoke in low voices, worry clear on their faces.noveldrama

In the hospital corridor, the atmosphere was heavy, with anxious expressions all around.

Noticing this, Daniela stood up from her seat, cutting through the whispers. She turned to her secretary and said, “Inform everyone that the press conference will begin in ten minutes.”

All eyes turned to Daniela instantly.

None of them were holding their breath for her announcement. No matter how skilled Daniela was, she couldn’t change the reality that Cedric was still unconscious. Even if he regained consciousness, his recovery would take time. The investors needed solid assurance. As the CEO of Elite Lux, Daniela technically had no authority to make official statements or decisions on Cedric’s behalf.

So, while people’s attention was momentarily lifted by her words, their fleeting hope soon evaporated.

Prior to the press conference, Daniela made her way to Cedric’s attending physician.

Lex Myers, a highly respected expert in his field, had known Daniela for years. As soon as she entered, she got straight to the point and asked, “How long until Cedric wakes up?”

Lex’s face clouded with concern.

“I can’t give you a specific timeline. I’ve run all the tests, and while the car accident was severe, it wasn’t catastrophic enough to leave him in a coma for this long. I’m still trying to figure out a few oddities in his medical data.”

Daniela’s eyes narrowed with sharp focus.

“How long are we talking?”

“It could take a month, maybe longer. I have a hunch that what he ate might be connected, so I’ll focus my investigation there,” Lex replied, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

The coldness in Daniela’s gaze deepened.

“Are you implying that something Cedric ate caused this coma?”

Lex nodded solemnly.

“It’s possible. I’ve found irregularities in his blood work, but nothing is definitive yet. I need more time to dig deeper.”

Daniela absorbed his words in silence, a sharp clarity settling in. Cedric’s recovery wouldn’t be quick.

With a steady nod, she turned to leave, her voice unwavering.

“You have access to all of Elite Lux’s medical resources. The labs are open to you. I won’t wait a month. Ten days, Lex. I need answers within that time.”

As Daniela stepped out of the doctor’s office, Lillian was already waiting for her.

“All the reporters from Olisvine are here.”

A brief nod was Daniela’s response.

“Got it.”

Instead of joining Lillian for the press conference, Daniela took a different path, heading to Cedric’s ward.

She lowered herself into a chair by his bedside, her gaze lingering on him—motionless in his hospital gown.
