Chapter 143 Ball is admitted to hospital

In a bedroom, Jack and others gathered around a bed, looking at Jack Bauer who was unconscious on the bed.

"I've tried giving him medicine, but it doesn't work. The fever keeps going away."

Mia looked at Bauer on the bed with a worried look on her face, and the others also looked worried.

"It has been four hours, and the physical cooling effect is not very effective. If it continues, it may endanger his life."

Jack Bauer's situation is not optimistic. He has been in a coma and has a high fever since he was rescued from Bengui.

Several people in the room tried various methods, but to no avail, and Ball showed no improvement at all.

"If he continues to burn like this, he will die."

Mia's face is filled with sadness.

A few people here only have basic first aid knowledge and can handle ordinary trauma. But in Ball's current situation, they can't even find the cause, and they can't handle it at all.

"Is there no other way?"

The questioner was Sister Goncharova.

Mia glanced at Bauer: "Yes, just send him to the hospital."

Everyone felt depressed, Mia's method was the same as what she didn't say.

There are wanted notices for Jack Bauer all over the media now, and police are all over the street looking for him. As soon as Bauer shows up, he will be recognized immediately, and he may be taken away by the police before he can receive treatment.

.

But what can we do if we don’t send him to the hospital? They simply don’t have the ability to treat each other.

Jack's heart was pounding, and they had to come up with a solution immediately, otherwise Ball would be in danger.

After thinking for a few seconds, Jack raised his head and said, "Check, what are the private hospitals closest to us?"

After hearing Jack's words, everyone already understood what he was going to do. Everyone followed Goncharova back to the living room. Goncharova operated the computer neatly and found the result after a while.

"Lilith Private Hospital is 4.5 kilometers away from us.

David Paris Medical Center is 7.2 kilometers away from us.

Miracle Medical Research Institute is 7.7 kilometers away from us.

These three private clinics are all relatively large and should have no problem handling Bauer's situation."

Bauer's situation was somewhat special. His persistent high fever was probably not caused by trauma, so Goncharova excluded those independent clinics run by one or two doctors during her search, and specifically selected those with superb medical skills.

"This person in charge of Lilith Private Hospital, find out his information."

Jack fell in love with Lilith Private Hospital at a glance. It was the only one closest to it and had a very high overall rating.

"Aaron Burns, director of Lilith Private Hospital, 58 years old..."

"Tell me his address and who else is in his family?"

Jack asked again.

"The address is No. 157, Avenue des Champs-Elysees. It is an independent villa. In addition to his wife, he has a son and a daughter, but both children are studying in universities abroad."

Goncharova read out the found information.

Jack looked at his watch and saw that it was already around six o'clock in the afternoon, but it was not completely dark outside yet.

"Wait a little longer, and we'll set off after it gets completely dark."

Jack looked at everyone.

"What are you going to do?" Goncharova was curious.

"Threaten him and ask him to revive Jack Bauer."

"It's useless. If you want to save Bauer, you need a comprehensive examination. This cannot be done by one person, but if other people are involved, someone will definitely call the police."

Benji also expressed his concerns.

"That is an issue that the dean needs to consider. If the news leaks out, I will kill his family."

Jack's answer is simple and crude. He is not a good person, and a good person cannot become a 'Falcon'.

An hour later, it turned completely dark.

The dark abandoned factory looks like a ghost.

The Goncharova sisters had painted all the windows here with black paint in advance, so that even if there were lights on inside, they would not be visible from the outside.

In the dark yard, the car lights are on.

Everyone carried the unconscious Bauer into a van, which Natalia had just stolen. Jack got into the driver's seat, while Mia stayed in the car to take care of Bauer.

In the monitor, Goncharova looked at the surrounding nine-square grid screen, then picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the outside: "Everything is normal."

After hearing her sister's announcement, Natalia pushed open the iron door and the van drove out of the abandoned factory. Natalia watched the van disappear into the dark street and closed the iron door again.

In the car, Mia kept using wet towels to physically cool down Bauer. Jack drove the bread towards the location of the dean's house on the map.

The Champs Elysées was not far from their location, about ten kilometers away. Jack quickly found the dean's villa.

The villa is beautiful at night, and the decorative lights dotted everywhere make the villa look magnificent at night.

Through the wall and fence, you can see the dean and his family having dinner in the distance. The couple are sitting at opposite ends, and there are servants beside them to help with the dishes.

Sure enough, those who can open private hospitals are wealthy people.

Jack drove the car directly to the courtyard door and parked in front of the villa. He had observed before that the nearest neighbor was also a few kilometers away.

Unless they are fighting here, no one will know about these little commotions.

The couple in the restaurant were stunned by the scene in front of them and looked at the uninvited guests outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows in surprise.

Puff!~

Jack was very fast and shot before the people in the room could react, shocking everyone.

The bullets fired from the silenced weapon hit near the dining table, shattering the table and also frightening several people in the room so that they did not dare to act rashly.

"Don't move. I don't want to kill anyone. If you don't cooperate, then I will have to shoot."

Jack issued a warning and entered the house at the same time, while Mia quickly searched the second floor of the villa and other rooms.

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

Jack asked the only male among the three.

"No...no more. It's just me and my wife...and the helper. If you want money, it's all in the drawer on the second floor. You can take it all. I just hope you don't hurt us."

Among the three people in the living room, only Dean Burns was calm. Although he was panicked after hearing Jack's question, he was still able to give an answer.

The other dean's wife and the helper were trembling in a ball, looking like they might cry at any time.

Next to him, Mia, who had returned from the search, put down her gun and nodded at Jack, indicating that what the dean said was true.

Only then did Jack say: "We are not robbers, and we have no interest in your property. On the contrary, we are here to give you money."

Facing the dean's confused look, Jack handed him a note.

"There are 100,000 US dollars in this account, which is the medical fee for this time. I need you to save my friend..."

One hundred thousand dollars is nothing to Jack. It was obtained from a drug lord anyway. Of course it would be fine if he didn't give it, but from a psychological point of view, if there is punishment, there should be reward.

As he spoke, Jack motioned for the dean to follow him. After a moment of hesitation, dean Burns stood up.

His wife was afraid and grabbed his arm and refused to let go. After the dean comforted the latter a few words, his wife let him go. Burns followed Jack to the van.

Seeing this scene, Jack felt even more relieved. It is good to love his wife. The more they love their wife, the greater their confidence in controlling each other.

The back door of the van had been opened, and the dean saw Bauer inside and recognized him at a glance.

After all, the wanted poster about Ball is still playing on the restaurant’s TV.

"What happened to him?"

Jack appreciated the dean's calmness and replied: "The fever persists and we have tried various methods to no avail, so we have to ask you for help."

Burns stepped forward and touched Ball's forehead. It was indeed very hot.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Rescue him and prevent him from being caught by the police. The reward is one hundred thousand dollars in the account and the safety of your family."

As he spoke, Jack threw a stack of photos to the other party, and the dean hurriedly caught them, only to realize that the photos belonged to their family, not only him and his wife, but also two children.

"University of Southampton, Lancaster University."

Jack gave the name of the university where the dean's child went, and the other party immediately knew that he had been thoroughly investigated by these people.

"Don't worry, as long as you do what I just said, we won't disturb you and your children's lives. But if you play tricks, I guarantee you will lose them."

"This is impossible. I can't do this at home. If I want a comprehensive examination, I can only go to the hospital, but..."

The dean still wanted to protest, but was immediately interrupted by Jack: "I'm sorry, you'd better do it."

The unquestionable tone in Jack's tone made the dean feel desperate. He looked at Jack, then at Bauer, then at the photo in his hand, and finally compromised: "Okay, I hope you can do what you say, I will try my best.
