Chapter 1151 Jacob Falling Ill

Ashlyn's cool voice rang out again, “After all, we're not exactly short on money.”

Such a commanding aura! What a bada*s!

The team members were once again left astounded by Ashlyn.

“Boss, you're so impressive!” Trevor said with a grin as he looked at Ashlyn. “After all these years, you're still as awesome as ever! Which midsolo hero did you use when you won the world championship three years ago? Was it Vegar?”

“Hmm. You have a good memory.” Ashlyn nodded.

“Back then, many people followed the trend and played Vegar excessively... They were practically overusing the hero.” Bruce couldn't help but chime in, “Boss, you've always been so amazing.”

There are hardly any female professional players in Heroes' League Games. Although there are some female commentators, when it comes to competing professionally... it seems like Ashlyn is the only one.

“Well... Boss is not just the king of esports, she knows so much more. She even cured my grandpa's illness recently.” The pride in Trevor's voice was almost palpable.

Just then, Lucas's phone rang.

Sabrina's anxious voice could be heard coming from the other side, saying, “Mr. Nolan, something bad happened. Mr. Lester suddenly fainted.”

Frowning, Lucas asked in a low voice, “Has he not been taking his medication recently?”

“I have no idea. He was conducting an experiment in the lab when he suddenly collapsed. We're on our way to the hospital now,” Sabrina explained with increasing urgency.

“All right, I got it. I'll head over immediately.” Lucas ended the call and turned to Ashlyn. “I need to take my leave now. Something urgent has come up.”

Ashlyn nodded. “What happened?”

“An elder fell ill, so I need to head there first. Once you're done with the meal, I'll have Silas take you home,” Lucas explained before leaving with Spencer.

With a grim expression on his face, Lucas' hastily retreating figure soon disappeared from view.

Ashlyn couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

At the hospital, Lucas rushed over in haste, only to find Sabrina and a few other managers from Section Six gathered outside the emergency room.

Upon seeing Lucas, Sabrina quickly went over and greeted, “Mr. Nolan.”

“What did the doctor say?” Lucas inquired.

“The doctor hasn't come out yet. We're still unsure about the current situation,” Sabrina said with a concerned expression on her face. “Mr. Lester has been dealing with chronic health issues for a while. His overall health hasn't been great, especially after his time in the countryside during his youth, where he contracted various illnesses... and now, with this situation—”

“Let's see what the doctor says first,” Lucas interjected. Jacob had always been a cornerstone of Section Six, and his current condition was a matter of profound concern.

After all, he played a crucial role in the development of new energy for automobiles.

His potential absence could not only deeply affect Section Six but also the comprehensive development and utilization of new energy resources.

“Mr. Lester might not be able to attend the upcoming new energy vehicle forum next week,” Sabrina said softly with a touch of worry in her tone.

“The program for our new energy development has never been properly refined. What exactly is the technical department doing? Instead of worrying about Mr. Lester, you should hurry up and improve the program,” Lucas retorted impatiently, casting a quick, annoyed look at Sabrina.

Sabrina stiffened at that. her initial intention was to use her continuous display of concern for Jacob as a way to gain Lucas' attention.

After all, she had experienced several setbacks recently. And nearly every time, it was due to Ashlyn.

She never expected that everything she did now seemed to be wrong–even showing concern for her colleagues had turned into a mistake.

A wave of sadness washed over her, but she maintained a polite smile on her face. Her voice, however, betrayed a hint of stiffness when she said, “Mr. Nolan, I... I just feel really sorry for Mr. Lester. He has never married or had children, and his health is far from ideal. He has dedicated himself wholeheartedly to Section Six...”

“I'm well aware of how significant Mr. Lester's contributions are,” Lucas said nonchalantly.

He simply didn't appreciate Sabrina's incessant prattle buzzing in his ears.

I was having such a pleasant time with my wife when all this happened...
