Chapter 479 I Won't Risk His Life
"She's not a doll that can be snatched away."
Finley's voice was not loud, but it was particularly firm.
Thalia looked at him, smiling so gently.
Chuck's face was livid, and he left without a word.
The smile on Thalia's face had yet to fade when she sent Finley to the garage.
"What makes you so happy?"
"Nothing."
Thalia held his index finger.
She said, overjoyed, "Did you see Chuck's face just now? He was so angry. It was so funny."
"I didn't look at him."
"Go to work."
Thalia took the initiative to kiss him.
Finley quietly held Thalia's waist and pressed her to his chest.
"I'll pick you up after work."
"Are you busy today?"
"There's always time for you."
"Okay."
Thalia chatted with him for a long time. When Alexa drove over, she saw her car.
They walked in different directions calmly.
When Alexa got out of the car, Finley nodded at her and then drove away.
"Ms. Crompton, I came at the wrong time."
Thalia pretended not to understand Alexa's words.
"Terrence and you are much more intimate than us."
"That's not the same. Didn't you two get into a deadlock before? You made up so quickly?" Alexa said
bluntly.
"Dr. McMillan is quite smart."
Thalia smiled. She loved Finley's little tricks.
Alexa talked to her about cooperation.
Thalia mentioned Chuck.
"Is he still pestering you?"
Thalia said, "Chuck's attitude towards me is strange. I've only met him a

few times. I don't know what he's planning."
Alexa said, "Don't your parents like him a lot? Maybe he has a good relationship with your parents."
"There must be something wrong with things."
Thalia seemed a lot more cautious.
"I just took over the company, and he came to me. I have to find out what he is trying to do."
"What are your plans for Dr. McMillan?"
Thalia did not answer for a while.
Alexa saw through her concerns.
Alexa said, "My mother also knows about this. She said that she would
find time to persuade Finley. After all, he doesn't have to go abroad."
"If he really wants to go, I won't stop him." Thalia squeezed out a smile, "Isn't it just three years?"
"There are many things that can be changed in three years."
"I will talk to him properly."
Thalia was reluctant to part with Finley.
She was preparing to have a good discussion with Finley at night.
However, Thalia received a call from Elena as soon as she got off work.
James had a heart attack and was now transferred to the ICU of Lenox Hill
Hospital.
When Thalia arrived at the hospital, many relatives of the Crompton
family were standing in the corridor.
Her face turned slightly pale.
She asked, "What happened? How is my father?"
Elena cried and held Thalia's arm. "Thalia, can you think of a way? No
matter how much money we have to pay, we have to cure your father. You
have to find a good doctor."
"I'll give Finley a call."
"Him? Can he do it?"
Elena was skeptical. Thalia glanced at her coldly, and she instantly
became silent.
After Finley received the call, he asked his assistant to get the medical
record.
"Come to my office."
Thalia prepared to go over without a word.
Elena said, "Is he really capable? He looks quite young and probably has
no experience. Why don't we let Chuck help us? He has so many
connections."
Thalia said, "Mom, that's enough. Why are you still thinking about
Chuck? If Finley can't do it, then no one can."
Elena didn't dare to answer and kept crying.
When Thalia rushed to Finley's office, he had already prepared hot tea
and handed over a clean handkerchief.
She was in a trance and didn't reach out to take it.
Finley gently wiped her tears.
He said, "Don't worry."
"Finley, I'm not in a hurry. How is my father?" Thalia tried to calm
herself down.
Finley said coldly, "Dr. White has already told me that your father's
condition is indeed a little tricky. We have to hurry up and do the heart
bypass surgery."
"What is the probability of success?"
"I'll make a treatment plan first. I'll contact the experts' group later."
Finley held Thalia's hand. It was cold.
"You can have a rest in my office."
He found a blanket and put it on her, turning on the heater.
"Don't worry. I'm here."
"Finley, but I'm still afraid..."
Thalia had a lump in her throat.
It was her father. Although their relationship wasn't very good, she didn't
want anything to happen to him.
Finley sat down and pulled her into his arms, wiping away the tears on
Thalia's face.
"I am fully responsible for your father's treatment. I won't let anything
happen to him."
Thalia was too tired and quickly fell asleep while leaning on his shoulder.
Finley tucked her in before going to the ward.
Elena stood beside Chuck, her attitude extremely cold towards him.
"Where's my daughter?"
"She's resting in my office."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinley replied politely. Elena had nowhere to vent her anger.
Chuck said, "How is James' condition? I have already contacted foreign
experts to come over. They will come to take over tomorrow."
"Which expert?"
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know him."
Finley did not answer Chuck but briefed James' condition.
"The experts' group will give a treatment plan tonight. The surgery must
be carried out as soon as possible."
Chuck said, "Are you so sure? James cannot afford the consequences of a
failed treatment."
"I won't risk his life."
Even though Finley was so sure, Elena still did not trust him very much.
Finley estimated that Thalia was about to wake up, so he did not stay long.
Elena sensed Finley's cold attitude and felt a burst of anger in her heart.
"I don't know why Thalia likes him."
Chuck said, "Elena, it's fine. Thalia just doesn't know what kind of person
he is yet. I'm willing to wait."
"Chuck, Thalia is really lucky. You are so good to her."
"When James gets better, I will persuade my father to invest more in the
Crompton Group."
Elena was overjoyed and appreciated Chuck even more.
When Finley returned to the office, he found that Alexa and Terrence
were also there.
Alexa said, "Mom and Henry sent dinner over. We met downstairs. They
are now in the director's office."
Christina was very famous in the medical field. With her, this matter
would not be so troublesome.
Thalia ate and glanced at Finley.
"Did you see my mother? She didn't make things difficult for you, did
she?"
Finley said, "She plans to change doctors. Chuck has invited experts from abroad. They will come to
take over James' treatment tomorrow."
Thalia was furious.
She was about to argue with Elena when her legs suddenly went weak,
and she fell unconscious into Finley's arms.
