Chapter 1977 Using Me
Despite Roxanne and Lucian's guarantee, Madilyn still felt extremely pressured.
The atmosphere in the hospital was one of panic and confusion. People started gossiping and exaggerating the
situation. Meanwhile, the hospital's landline was constantly ringing as the worried relatives of the patients called to
check on their loved ones.
Many expressed their dissatisfaction with the hospital's lack of professionalism, and some even threatened to take
legal action against the hospital's executive staff.
Some people went so far as to ask the hospital to move their relatives to another medical center. Upon being
denied, they threatened to file a complaint against the hospital.
Not long after, some of the family members hastened to the entrance of the hospital. A few vehicles were
dangerously close to smashing into the building, and the family members were venting their rage by hurling insults
at the hospital.
Reporters were savvy and quick-witted enough to make their way to the hospital in order to document the chaotic

“Leaders from the Centers for Disease Control, please allow us entry into the hospital to interview the patients! How
grave is the condition that has necessitated the closure of the medical facility?”
“The families of the patients are extremely distressed right now. We need to learn the truth! Please allow us to
conduct an interview with the hospital director, Dr. Marilyn Xander, and ensure that the public is appropriately
informed.”
“The hospital's decision to not permit the transfer of their patients to another hospital has generated a great deal
of controversy on the Internet. We kindly request that you permit us to enter the premises!”
From her office window in a building opposite the hospital, Christina watched the scene play out below with a
satisfied smirk curling up the corners of her mouth.
“Roxanne and Madilyn have already been contaminated with the bacteria, and the only hope for their salvation lies
with Mr.
Goldstein, who holds the key to the vaccine. It all depends on what terms and conditions Lucian is willing to propose
in order to secure the life-saving vaccine.”
She let her joy take control and revealed her innermost thoughts.
Coralie was taken aback upon hearing Christina's words. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, and it took a
few moments for her to regain her composure. "Are you talking about Mr.
Alphonso Goldstein from Starlight Group? Is that why you're here? You're not just trying to take revenge on Roxanne
and Madilyn, you want to make a profit too. Was I just a pawn in your plan? I thought you were here to help me
out!”
Christina kept her cool composure in the face of the accusatory words directed at her. She quirked her lips upwards
into a sly grin and replied, “Ms. Crawford, it doesn't matter why I'm here, does it?
All that matters is that you get the outcome you desire. If there was a public outcry it would be disastrous for
Madilyn as she could end up being removed from her role as hospital director, or even face criminal charges.
“But that doesn't change the fact that you had used me!” Coralie insisted, feeling incredibly uncomfortable at the
revelation.
The hospital entrance was a scene of utter chaos and confusion.
Without warning, a Rolls-Royce rolled to a stop and blocked the path of the crowd.

Slowly, a figure emerged from the car.
It was Jonathan, dressed in a finely tailored suit that had been custom-made for him, and it gave him an impressive
stature. His expression was grim as he walked, his steps light yet determined.
Somehow, he gave off an aura that resembled Lucian's.
He directed a sharp gaze at the crowd before raising his arm, gesturing for everyone to quiet down.
Much to the surprise of everyone present, the boisterous and raucous noise of the crowd died away at Jonathan's
request. The reporters were quick to start snapping away at him.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Jonathan Queen. Please quiet down and listen to what I have to say.”
His voice, though not particularly loud, still managed to carry an air of authority. His determined poise was enough
to put the family members at ease, and they waited to see what he would say.
After all, his clothing and vehicle implied that he was someone of significance and importance.
As the situation was under control, Jonathan grew confident and continued, “I am here today as Dr. Madilyn
Xander's representative.
I would like to explain two matters concerning the recent emergency situation at the hospital. Firstly, I am pleased
to inform you that the situation is under control, and we have devised a plan to have it resolved in the next three
hours. Secondly, I am here to answer any questions you may have, and I ask for your understanding in controlling
your emotions during this time.”
