One young intern was particularly receptive to his charm.

Aside from playing the Romeo of the ward, Lucas dutifully texted Bella with updates.

Because of his proximity to the VIP section and his newly acquired nursing connections, Lucas was the first to know when Debbie woke up.

When Bella received the text, her spirits skyrocketed. The oppressive gloom of the past two days instantly vanished.

"I don't care if she has cancer," Bella snapped. "As long as we secure that money, she can drop dead tomorrow. Keep your eyes glued to her room. If anything changes, you tell me immediately. And find a way inside. It doesn't matter if you can't get the password, just confirm she's fully lucid. Then I can make my move."
