I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 379: Seizing Power

"Mrs. Chaucer, Mrs. Chaucer?" called the assistant as she entered and found Bianca collapsed on the floor. She immediately called for an ambulance. Soon after, the ambulance rushed Bianca to the hospital, and the assistant phoned Chloe to inform her of Bianca's fainting.

In the hospital, after emergency treatment, Bianca regained consciousness but was weakly lying in the hospital bed. Chloe rushed to the hospital and asked, "Bianca, what happened? How did you just collapse like that? What did the doctors say?"

"The doctors think it might be due to exhaustion," Bianca replied, feeling completely drained. "We'll know more once the test results are back."

Chloe was deeply worried; after all, Bianca was her sister. Although Chloe had been envious of Bianca taking over Falconer Holdings and harbored some resentment towards Mr. Chaucer, seeing Bianca actually hospitalized stirred anxiety in her. "Bianca, you have to take care of yourself. You're my only sister. What would I do if something happened to you?" Chloe gripped Bianca's hand, her voice filled with concern.

"I'll be fine," Bianca managed a weak smile to comfort Chloe.

Chloe added, "I called Joy, and she's on her way. She's worried about you too. You really scared me."

Soon, the medical reports arrived, and the attending doctor, Dr. Harrington, entered the room. Chloe asked anxiously, "Dr. Harrington, what's wrong with Bianca?"

"I've just received the test results, and they show multiple abnormal indicators. There's significant liver damage and some damage to the heart and lungs," Dr. Harrington explained. "Given her condition, she needs to avoid stress, follow a proper diet, and there's a risk of stroke with potential life-threatening implications if not managed properly."

"That sounds serious," Chloe said, shocked. "Bianca has her check-ups annually, and her last results were normal. How could this have happened?"

"Health issues like these can be influenced by lifestyle, dietary habits, and age. As we age, our immune and repair systems naturally decline. It's crucial to maintain light exercise, a balanced diet, and avoid overworking to keep a positive mindset," Dr. Harrington advised.

After the doctor left, Chloe turned to Bianca, persuading her, "I've always told you not to worry too much. Why not let Joy handle the company? Your health is more important. You've been pushing yourself too hard."

Bianca felt her strength waning and knew she couldn't handle the company affairs, but she hesitated to hand over control to Joy Chaucer. "Doctors these days tend to exaggerate to scare patients. I just need some rest," Bianca remarked stubbornly.

Seeing Bianca's reluctance, Chloe felt somewhat resentful.

Soon, Joy Chaucer arrived, pretending to be very concerned in front of Bianca. "Mom, you scared me to death. Please listen to the doctor and stop overworking yourself. I'm about to get married; how can I leave you like this?" "It's nothing serious. I don't need to stay in the hospital," Bianca insisted, still concerned about Meredith. "Joy, could you talk to the doctor? I'll go home after the IV is done."

"Mom, there's no need to rush. Stay in the hospital for a few days for observation," Joy suggested anxiously. "What if you faint again?"

Chloe also urged, "Bianca, stay a few more days. The company can manage without you for a few days. Joy is there, and you're in no state to hang on to your position. Are you afraid that Joy will take over the company?" Chloe's words were blunt, and Joy Chaucer looked at Bianca, waiting for her response.

"I didn't think of it that way," Bianca sighed. "Alright, I'll stay a couple more days for observation. Joy, you'll have to handle the company matters these next few days."

"Mom, don't worry. Once you're better, you'll be back at the company. I'm your daughter; how could I take your place?" Joy Chaucer said, smiling as she held Bianca's hand. "This time, just focus on getting well."

Leaning against Bianca's shoulder, a shadow crossed Joy Chaucer's eyes. This time, she intended to ensure Bianca rested completely.
