Chapter 11 This is... the Dean?!

When the Deputy Hospital Director and a group of doctors and nurses left, Jeremy Lawrence looked around, amazed. "Joanna, why have they moved me to such a nice room? Did Ashton arrange this?"

Jeremy did not yet know that Joanna Lawrence and David Benington had broken up.

"It wasn't him."

Joanna frowned in confusion, also unclear about the situation.

David had already broken up with her, he couldn't possibly be this kind-hearted.

It was even less likely for Benjamin.

This VIP ward seemed very high-end, staying here without doing anything would cost a significant amount of money.

No one from the Lawrence family would be willing to pay this much.

Then who could it be?

Who was so kind-hearted that they would help the two of them out of the blue?

Joanna was baffled with this thought.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knock on the door suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Joanna went to answer the door.

Outside stood a young nurse, who smiled and said, "Ms. Joanna, our Dean would like to discuss your brother's condition with you. Please come with me."

Joanna was taken aback, surprise evident in her eyes, "The Dean wants to see me?"

"Yes."

*

Dean's Office.

The young nurse led her to the door and knocked gently.

The office door wasn't fully closed, half concealed.

A pleasant and young voice came from inside, "Come in."

Joanna was startled by the unexpectedly youthful voice.

She gently pushed open the door.

As she walked in, she saw a young man sitting at the desk, who looked to be around 25 years old, with a handsome and mild face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, the epitome of a refined noble young man.

Was this... the Dean?!

Joanna was visibly surprised and taken aback.

The Dean was that young?

She had initially assumed that he would be at least in his fifties or sixties.

"Ms. Joanna, hello. Please have a seat."

While Joanna was looking at Denver Lancaster with a surprise on her face, Denver Lancaster also looked up to appraise her with interest.

Is this the young girl who once had a fling with Ashton Heath?

He had to admit, even with her plain looks, she was a beauty.

Looking at the girl in her twenties, she had very delicate features and her skin was fair and radiant.

Even to him, who had seen many beautiful women, she was quite impressive.

After appraising her for a moment, he said with a smile, "Ms. Joanna, don't be nervous. We're all young, just treat me as a friend."

His smile made Joanna feel a bit more relaxed.

She nodded, also smiling, and sat down.

"Dean, I heard you wanted to talk about my brother's condition?" Joanna asked directly, "Has there been a change in Jeremy's condition?"

Denver Lancaster picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, "There has been some change."

Joanna immediately became nervous, "I don't know…"

"Your brother's disease should be treated as soon as possible. Because of this bout of illness, he has actually missed the best time for surgery."

Joanna's face changed instantly and her voice trembled, "What do you mean by missing the best time for surgery? Does it mean he can't have surgery in the future?"

"It's not that he can't have surgery, but the post-operative effects won't be as good. Ms. Joanna, your brother's surgery can't be delayed anymore."

"I know..." Joanna clenched her fist, "I, I will find a way for him to have surgery as soon as possible. Only, you said that if he has surgery now, the post-operative effects won't be too good…"
