?Chapter 678:


    The marketing manager eximed, “What are we supposed to do now? With Mr. Phillips out ofmission, it’s up to us to protect Phillips Group for him.”


    The air was thick with tension as everyone spoke in low voices, worry clear on their faces.


    In the hospital corridor, the atmosphere was heavy, with anxious expressions all around.


    Noticing this, Dani stood up from her seat, cutting through the whispers. She turned to her secretary and said, “Inform everyone that the press conference will begin in ten minutes.”


    All eyes turned to Dani instantly.


    None of them were holding their breath for her announcement. No matter how skilled Dani was, she couldn’t change the reality that Cedric was still unconscious. Even if he regained consciousness, his recovery would take time. The investors needed solid assurance. As the CEO of Elite Lux, Dani technically had no authority to make official statements or decisions on Cedric’s behalf.


    So, while people’s attention was momentarily lifted by her words, their fleeting hope soon evaporated.


    Prior to the press conference, Dani made her way to Cedric’s attending physician.


    Lex Myers, a highly respected expert in his field, had known Dani for years. As soon as she entered, she got straight to the point and asked, “How long until Cedric wakes up?”


    Lex’s face clouded with concern.


    “I can’t give you a specific timeline. I’ve run all the tests, and while the car ident was severe, it wasn’t catastrophic enough to leave him in aa for this long. I’m still trying to figure out a few oddities in his medical data.”

    Dani’s eyes narrowed with sharp focus.


    “How long are we talking?”


    “It could take a month, maybe longer. I have a hunch that what he ate might be connected, so I’ll focus my investigation there,” Lex replied, his voice tinged with uncertainty.


    The coldness in Dani’s gaze deepened.


    “Are you implying that something Cedric ate caused thisa?”


    Lex nodded solemnly.


    “It’s possible. I’ve found irregrities in his blood work, but nothing is definitive yet. I need more time to dig deeper.”


    Dani absorbed his words in silence, a sharp rity settling in. Cedric’s recovery wouldn’t be quick.


    With a steady nod, she turned to leave, her voice unwavering.


    “You have ess to all of Elite Lux’s medical resources. Thebs are open to you. I won’t wait a month. Ten days, Lex. I need answers within that time.”


    As Dani stepped out of the doctor’s office, Lillian was already waiting for her.


    “All the reporters from Olisvine are here.”


    A brief nod was Dani’s response.


    “Got it.”


    Instead of joining Lillian for the press conference, Dani took a different path, heading to Cedric’s ward.


    She lowered herself into a chair by his bedside, her gaze lingering on him—motionless in his hospital gown.
