Postoperative recovery arrangements

The vase provided by the medical center was a piece of blue and white porcelain from the East. It certainly wasn't an antique; it was a modern creation. Water was added to the vase...

After placing the bouquet, Henry returned to the ward with the flowers in his hand.

Meanwhile, the people in the ward were discussing their plans for the future.

Robert explained, "Because further chemotherapy and follow-up are needed, we can refer her to a nursing home. However, Audrey wants to go home, not stay in the hospital indefinitely."

"Are you going back to Switzerland?" Givenchy asked. "What about the chemotherapy?"

"The chemotherapy process is relatively simple. Cedars-Sinai has agreed to prescribe the medication, and the hospital in Switzerland will handle the rest. The only thing is the follow-up checkups; I'll need to come to Los Angeles in person for those."

After hearing Robert's explanation, Givenchy looked at Hepburn lay helplessly on the hospital bed. He said with pity, "In your current state, even flying first class would be difficult for you."

Audrey Hepburn forced a smile and said, "Then I'll stay a little longer, until I've recovered better, and then I'll fly back. Hopefully, I'll make it to Christmas at home."

Lost in thought Givenchy lightly tapped the face of his watch on his left wrist with his right fingers. After a moment, he suddenly said, "Leave this to me."

"Give it to you?" Everyone present, including Audrey, Robert, and the two young masters, shared the same confusion.

Givenchy said, "I'll talk to them about borrowing a plane, making some minor modifications, and using it as a medical aircraft to send you back. We could negotiate with a regular passenger plane, but it's troublesome and requires coordination with the airline. A private jet is much more convenient."

"Is it alright?" This was a question no one else could ask, only Audrey Hepburn could.

"Of course, leave it to me. I know a woman who is just as kind-hearted as you. I believe she will readily lend you a helping hand. Besides, this is just a small matter for her."

"Really? What If...? that's the case, that's wonderful. But please don't cause trouble for others," Audrey Hepburn said.

"Don't worry," Givenchy assured him, patting his chest. But then he added, "However, I need to borrow someone from you."

"Borrow someone? Who?"

Patting Henry on the shoulder as he stood behind the group, Givenchy said, "Lend me your assistant for a moment. You can't expect an old man about your age to be as energetic as a young man. I need some help."

"Is it alright, Henry?" "Is it alright, lad?"

The two elderly men were asking the same question, so Henry certainly couldn't say no. Besides, it was his own boss's business.

Henry bowed and said, "I will do my best to serve you, Mr. Givenchy."

"Great, let's go then." Givenchy stood up, preparing to leave.

He actually wanted to stay and talk with his good friend. But he also knew that a patient who had just undergone surgery needed rest, not someone sitting next to him.

Rather than staying and disturbing the other person's rest, he thought it better to do something to help. So, after getting permission, Givenchy took Henry with him and quickly left.

Henry, who followed in the Givenchy, certainly didn't think this fashion mogul needed to fight his way through the industry. His role would likely remain the same: assistant. In short: menial tasks.

However, it's essential to know what the other party wants before you can cooperate. So Henry asked, "Sir, who are we looking for? What should I do?"

"Wait a moment, I need to make a phone call. I need to know where she is so I know which way to go to see her."

In the public phone area, Givenchy dialed a few numbers, inquired about the situation, and then said to Henry with a smile, "That's great!"

They'll be at the farm for the next few days. We can just go there and find them.

"A farm? Do we need to drive or fly?"

"Do you know how to get to Oak Spring Farm in Upperville, Virginia?"

Henry, recalling the map of the United States he had written down and the timetables for various modes of transportation, said, "The fastest way is to fly from Los Angeles Airport to Washington Dulles International Airport."

United Airlines has a flight this afternoon. What If...? we head straight to the airport, we'll have plenty of time and can find a place to have lunch.

"After arriving, it will be about another hour's drive to Upperville. If all goes well, we will arrive before dinner time."

"We could also choose to stay overnight in Upperville and visit them tomorrow during the day. Perhaps that would be less impolite. I don't know their personality, so I'm unsure what the best course of action would be."

After answering, Givenchy paused for a long while before saying seriously, "Are you serious?"

Henry shrugged, smiled, and remained silent. Explaining to others that his memory was comparable to Google Maps' future navigation was pointless.

Realizing what was happening, Givenchy said, "No, let's go and be guests for the night. Dinner at the Mellon family's private chef's restaurant isn't something just anyone gets to eat."

"The Mellon family?" Henry asked. "Is it the Mellon I'm thinking of?"

Givenchy said, "Yes, Paul Mellon, Oak Spring Farm is his home. He also runs the famous Rockby Horses in the area, which has many Champion horses."

"However, the person we are looking for is not him, but his wife, Rachel Lambert Mellon, a renowned Gardener, art collector, and philanthropist."

"The Lambert family holds a prominent position in the United States. Rachel herself was even commissioned by President Kennedy to redesign the White House Rose Garden."

What If...? there's one name that's been hidden in the financial world of the United States, or even the world, it's undoubtedly the Jews Rothschild family.

However, in the United States business world, the Carnegie family is far superior to established families like Rockefeller, DuPont, and Ford, and even the newly rich Howard Stark, who passed away unexpectedly last year, had to look up to the Mellon family.

Rachel Low Lambert was no ordinary heiress. Her father was the president of Gillette and the founder of Warner-Lambert Pharmaceuticals, and her grandfather, Jordan Lambert, was the inventor of Listerine.

Simply put, this couple are quintessential representatives of Old Money families and Blue-Blooded Aristocracy in United States. They rarely step into the limelight, yet they are powerful figures who can easily stir up a storm.

Henry asked doubtfully, "Can I really meet someone like that?"

"Why not? You're Audrey Hepburn's representative now," Givenchy said.
