"Thank you, Mom." Nicole said politely.
"What's with the formality? Are you still mad at me?"
Gloria knew she had been unfair to Nicole by being protective of Norah at her expense.
"No."
"Nicole, you can't blame me for defending Norah.I know she is pretty timid, even as a kid.She has always been cautious about everything and have always catered to the whims of others." Gloria explained.
"I understand your position."
Nicole accompanied Gloria as she worked in the kitchen, and after a while, Nicole returned to the living room.
"Are you guys done? Dinner's ready."
At the table, Gloria looked at Nicole and asked, 'Has Mr.Johnston Sr.woken up yet?"
"Nope, not yet," she replied, having to answer the same question once again.
"He hasn't? Well, that doesn't bode well for him." Gloria sighed and continued eating.
"Quit blabbering in front of the children.Mr.Johnston Sr.is showing signs of recovery," Daniel quickly added.
Nicole went on to explain.
"Mom, it's not as grim as you think."
"I'm sorry.I know next to nothing about the situation."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Gloria a flashed her daughter a bashful smile and placed a piece of Nicole's favorite dish onto her plate.
"Thanks, mom."
Nicole smiled and proceeded with the rest of her meal.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jared ordered, "Claus, hire someone to monitor the surveillance, and notify the men guarding outside the ward immediately should you come across any individuals of dubious character.
Check and verify the identities of anyone who enters the ward, and inform me if you notice anyone behaving suspiciously."
"Aye."
Jared glanced at Mr.Johnston Sr.again before he whirled around and left the ward.
Concurrently, Henry had returned home with his two sons to plot their entry into the hospital for the second time.
"Dad, we've sent our contact away, and now it's difficult to procure ourselves another one."
Castor looked at Henry in a quandary.
"You have to do it no matter how hard it is.I went to the hospital today, and I was told that your grandpa may regain consciousness at any moment.Don't you want the life you have now? Do you want us to surrender our hard-earned position to Jared again?"
Henry bellowed out in an attempt to guilt his child.
"Of course, I don't."
"If you don't want that, then do as I say.Hurry up and find someone to give your grandpa another shot in the same way as before, except with double the dose this time," Henry said ruthlessly.
He wanted his father to slumber forever this time round, so that he would never have to worry about it.
"Dad, doubling the dosage is going to kill Grandpa."
Castor fumbled, not wanting to get into hot water with the law.
"What are you afraid of? It is not like we're the ones getting our hands dirty.You'll need a heart of stone if you wish to maintain your position," Henry elucidated in an attempt to indoctrinate them.
"Now, don't just stand here.Get on with it!"
Henry bellowed and shooed the both of them out of his office.
"Castor, is it okay if we do this?"
Murphy was a little scared.
"Are we going to be busted for this?"
"What the hell are you afraid of? Dad said everything will be fine, so let's just get it over with.Would you like to spend the rest of your life with Jared walking all over you?"
Castor was angry at the mere thought of Jared.
If he had not taken Henry's rightful place, he would not have been compelled to do anything to harm his grandfather.
"Now let's just go,"Castor finished."Nicole had returned to the villa facing the sea when she received a message from Zeke.
[Found the man.He is hiding abroad.These are his information and coordinates.]
[Well received.Thanks.]
Nicole perused the personal details of the individual.He was an erstwhile doctor, but somewhere down the line, a misdiagnosis that had cost a patient their life had resulted in his medical license being revoked, and he resorted to becoming a charlatan.
