Chapter 953 Fire in Ward (Part [-])
Stephanie felt that the man sitting next to her was always shrouded in an impenetrable fog. Even though she was in charge of the internal affairs department of the Immortal City and was responsible for dispatching all the logistical work of all departments in the organization, she still didn't know what the Immortal City was. The city now has several black classified missions going on.The tasks of the Imperial Guard are outside the jurisdiction of the internal affairs department, and all tasks performed have a black or deep red confidentiality level.The Praetorian Guard system is an independent system. Constantine does not participate in the operation of the administrative department, and the internal affairs department also has no right to know what the Praetorian Guard is doing.However, the Praetorian Guard has the decision-making power in some matters, can intervene in key decisions of the internal affairs department, and even make decisions on behalf of the monarch to some extent.

This means that when necessary, the Imperial Guard system is the superior of the internal affairs department, similar to the special envoy of the lord in the feudal society.

Now there is one more person with higher authority than this, and this is what makes Stephanie most unhappy.

Even if Victor von Doom won't be involved in the running of the Immortal City while Latvinia's problems are still unresolved, Stephanie is ready to play a game of office politics with the man in the iron mask up.The reason why she went to the office to question Salomon was just a trick she played. She knew that Salomon's decision would not be wavered, and showing her grievances could make Salomon feel that he owed her a favor. Favor, maybe in the future she will compromise in some aspects.

Salomon smiled and took the data terminal from the desk.

Stephanie always makes the mistake of forgetting that her boss is a spellcaster who can salvage little fragments of the future from the sea of ​​souls through her behavioral patterns without even using second sight to read the surface of her mind , to infer her intentions.It's not her fault. The power tricks she learned in her past life were all against ordinary people. Even though she wore the jewelry and brooch that protected the mind and vague prophecy presented by Salomon, that level of protection faced Salomon. It doesn't work every time with such a powerful spellcaster.

But he's also willing to accommodate Stephanie Malek's whims, which is pretty interesting to him.

"Okay, let's take a look at Wanda Maximoff's current mission progress... yes, this is it." He opened a document with a genetic identification lock, and then handed the data terminal to Stephanie. "In fact, you are eligible to unlock this document, but you haven't read it."

Stephanie made lovely onomatopoeia, like a deflated balloon.She flipped through the document lazily, "I only saw that Wanda Maximoff sent Robbie Reyes to the hospital, and I didn't pay attention to it after that. Shouldn't she have completed the task? Why the delay until now?"

"Because I have to take care of you, Gabe!" Wanda smiled as she faced the little boy in a wheelchair across the table. "You also saw that Robbie was injured and hospitalized, and someone must take care of you."

"I know." Gabe Reyes scowled.For his age, Gabe Reyes seems quite well-behaved and sensible, which may be the only gain after his disability.The red-haired woman in front of her who called herself Wanda Maximoff claimed that she was a friend of her brother. After Robbie had an accident, she took him to visit him in the intensive care unit, and this woman was also responsible for the high medical expenses in the intensive care unit. Paid, all bills settled—Gabe almost fainted when he saw that bill.As the person who manages the family account, he knows that those figures are astronomical for this family, Robbie repairing the car for 100 years can't earn the money, and he is a cripple who can't do anything.

Gabe Reyes was pretty sure he had never met his brother's friend, but he was utterly shy about letting the redhead know what he was thinking, because he had no idea what she had Intend.As a ghetto kid, he never believed in the idea of ​​a pie in the sky.Seeing that Gabe Reyes had no objection, Wanda Maximoff just settled down on the sofa in the living room, not only taking Gabe across the entire Los Angeles to visit Robbie Reyes in the hospital every day, He also took care of Gabe's three meals a day and all daily life very intimately.

Slowly, Gabe Reyes also slowly relaxed his vigilance, and he could feel that the red-haired woman was really taking care of him, not for some temporarily unknown purpose.And... at least Wanda's cooking skills are hundreds of times better than her brother's. Gabe really doesn't want to eat microwaved pizza for breakfast.Now he can eat something good every day, although there are a lot of vegetables, but he still likes these foods quite a lot.

"What happened?" He found that Wanda's face became quite ugly after receiving a call, which made Gabe nervous. "Could it be Robbie..."

"No, no, everything is fine." Wanda thought about how to explain this matter. "The doctors put Robbie in the general ward," she said. "He should be out soon."

"Then can I see him today?"

"Probably not, there are still some formalities to go through." Wanda forced a smile, "I'll go to the hospital first, and I'll definitely be back before dinner. If you're hungry, there are..."

"Steak salad," Gabe said. "I know, I just think steak salad is weird."

"This is how New Yorkers eat." Wanda picked up her coat and keys. "To be honest, I think it's weird too."

"Ms. Maximov, I'm really, really sorry." After arriving at Los Angeles General Hospital and identifying herself, Wanda stayed in the living room for 10 minutes, and then a white woman in a dark blue women's suit fucked her. Unaccented English came to her. "I believe that you have a preliminary understanding of the situation. I express my regret for the fire in the intensive care unit. We will do our best to assist the police in searching for Robbie Reyes' whereabouts, and we will also refund medical expenses. Robbie Reyes' minor dependents purchase a whole life policy."

"I'm not... well, thank you." Wanda nodded.She had already spotted the fire truck parked nearby when she drove into the hospital in a rented car, and she knew what was going on.In order not to worry Gabe Reyes too much, she cast a spell to bend the TV antenna before going out to prevent Gabe from seeing the news.

Seeing that her attitude was not as aggressive as expected, the white woman also relaxed a little.

A fire in the intensive care unit is a huge scandal for a hospital, not to mention that the hospital has to bear the responsibility of not notifying the patient's family in time. Said it was not a small trouble.Not only had to deal with various inspections by local government departments, but the hospital itself had to issue a statement expressing regret.Nowadays, it is a blessing in misfortune to solve the problems of patients’ family members only by refunding medical expenses and giving life insurance. The problems that can be solved with money are not problems. As one of the responsible persons, Dr. Christina Galli feels that she has time To deal with government investigations.

"I want to see the surveillance video from that night," Wanda said.

"Of course, this is your right. I will ask my secretary to take you to the security room to view the surveillance video. I am sorry that I cannot go with you. I hope you know how sad I am. Such an unfortunate incident is for anyone, Pretty sad for any family."

No matter what Dr. Christina Galli said, Wanda just nodded.She really couldn't cope with this kind of hypocrisy and politeness. She had already seen her real thoughts through the eyes of Dr. Christina Galli.What's more, Wanda has long speculated that the real cause of the fire in the intensive care unit is that Robbie Reyes woke up.

"This is my secretary, Laura. Laura, please take Ms. Maximov to review the surveillance video. I believe she must be very interested in knowing what happened at that time."
