King's Back novel Chapter 48

When Jackson returned to the sales department and was surprised to find that Harry was here since it was after office hours.

He asked his colleague, but his colleague said he hadn't seen Harry.

"Where the hell is this guy? He said to me yesterday that he wanted to get a full attendance award and now he was not here today?"

Since he was free, Jackson called the logistics department and asked the girl, who told him that Harry had taken the day off.

Jackson paid no attention to it and continued to play the games on the computer.

Soon it's evening and Dolcie as working overtime on the 27th floor. This time Dolcie was clever and ordered takeout, but sadly, she didn’t order one for Jackson.

Jackson felt his stomach and walked downstairs, and walked to BBQ Beauty unconsciously.

When Madeline saw Jackson, she remembered some flirtatious actions she had done with Jackson last time, and then she flushed.

"The routine? Wonton noodles?"

"No. Get me some skewers, and two bottles of cold beer."

There was still some time before Dolcie got off work, and Jackson wanted to get some air outside.

"Why are you always eating alone? When do you bring a girlfriend to come over? I will treat you." Madeline said with a smile.

"I am afraid she would be jealousy of you when she saw you.” Jackson grinned.

"You'll just talk nonsense." Madeline rolled her eyes at him, smiled and asked the kitchen to get the dish ready.

At that moment, Madeline received a phone call and a nervous look appeared on her face, as if something bad was about to happen. Jackson happened to see that.

"Hello, this is Madeline."

"Are you Manny Lee's mother? Manny fainted in the dormitory. Please come and see." The other end of the phone came a female teacher's voice, with eagerness.

What?

Madeline's face changed and she stumbled and nearly fell on the ground, and Jackson scrambled to catch her.

Sure enough!

Madeline said nervously, "Call an ambulance. I'll come right now."

After a few words on the phone, Madeline hung up the phone and went to the road to hail a taxi.

But it was the rush hour now. It was very difficult to take a taxi. After waiting for a long time, she can’t get a taxi, and Madeline stomped in anxiety.

“What's the matter?” Jackson asked incredulously.

Even when she met the thugs that day, she had never looked so pale. Was there something wrong in the family?

"My daughter fainted at school. I have to go to the school right now, but I can't get a taxi. I'm so worried."

Jackson raised an eyebrow at Madeline. He didn’t expect her to have a daughter, but that's not surprising. Harry had said that her husband had died, and it was normal for married women to have children.

Saving people was urgent. Jackson patted her on the shoulder and said, "Wait here for me. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back."

"Hey, where are you going?"

Madeline called out, and Jackson had disappeared in the crowd.

In less than five minutes, the roar of a car came up and it screeched to a halt in front of Madeline.

The window opened and Jackson's face showed as he said, "Get in the car!"

Madeline took a grateful look at Jackson and jumped into the passenger seat.

On the car, Madeline was very anxious, clenching her fists tightly, and feeling upset.

Her daughter was as precious as her life. If something happened to her daughter, it would definitely a heavy blow to her.

Jackson glanced at Madeline and could tell she was very anxious. Then he stepped on the pedal and, in 20 minutes, they arrived at the school of Y City.

It was a boarding school, and it was already night now. The doors that had been closed were open. An ambulance, flashing a red light, stopped at the door.

Madeline saw this and rushed out. As soon as she got off the car, she saw a group of people gathered around her.

"Ms. Zhao, I am Manny's mother. How is she now?"

Madeline asked as she saw the teacher waiting anxiously outside the crowd.

She was Manny's life teacher. Madeline came to pick up Manny every weekend, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"Ms. Madeline, don't worry, her classmate said that Manny was reading a book when she suddenly fainted. We have immediately informed the hospital and the ambulance is to take Manny to the hospital."

With these words, several rescue workers wheeling a stretcher from the direction of the dormitory came quickly, lying on the stretcher was a little girl of eight or nine years old, looking lovely, but a little pale. She was in coma, with her lips closed.

Jackson took one look at the girl, who looked very much alike Madeline, with big eyes and fair skin. He knew she was adorable at first sight.

The stretcher was followed by several school officials, hospital nurses and doctors.

They immediately prepared to take Manny to the ambulance and send her to the hospital for treatment.

"Wait a minute."

The stretcher was about to be loaded into the ambulance when Jackson stopped it.

He strode forward, his face grave, blocking the way for the stretcher.

All the people around were stunned. Who was this boy and why did he stop the stretcher?

He was delaying the rescue. This guy must be crazy.

Jackson stopped the stretcher, ignored their surprised look and walked over to Manny's stretcher, putting his hand on her wrist.

"What are you doing? Who let you touch the patient? You’d better quickly release her? Do you afford to take the responsibility when something happens?" A male doctor in a white coat and a pair of glasses cried out in displeasure.

"Sir, it is urgent to get the child to the hospital. You must get out of the way. There is no time to lose." Ms. Zhao said earnestly.

Jackson didn't seem to hear it. His finger slipped to Manny's pulse and gently tapped it.

The Dragon God Scripture contained many magical and ancient medical techniques, which were totally different from the popular Western medicine in the world today.

But its curative effect was far better than that of Western medicine.

So, Jackson was definitely capable of finding out what's wrong with Manny.

The most anxious of them all was Manny's birth mother, Madeline.

Her first instinct when she saw Jackson’s actions was to get rid of him, but she hesitated at the serious look on his face, so she didn’t stop him.

Jackson made her feel as if he can never be seen through. He was always with that faint smile on his lips, as if everything was in his hands.

So, she clenched her fists, bit her lips, and whispered, "He's my friend, just let him have a check."
