Chapter 230: Who
"You look better today, Father. I’m glad. Doctor said he might discharge you sooner than expected." Patrick said as he walked into the hospital room slowly.
Sir Robert Collins nodded at the words, but his sharp gaze did not miss how pallid Patrick looked. His eyes lingered on his son’s face, narrowing slightly as he asked sharply, "And how are you doing? What does the doctor have to say about you?"
Patrick gave a smile and shook his head. "Nothing much." He stepped further into the room and glanced at the monitors beside the bed. After a pause, he sighed and looked at the older man not giving him a chance to ask any more questions. "I have some news. Spencer is going to be here soon. What do you want to do when he brings back Adam and Saira?"
Sir Robert frowned. His fingers, resting on the blanket, twitched slightly. "Is there any news about Melanie?"
Patrick shook his head again. "No. Nothing yet. As far as I know, the legal procedure in Maniwa is slow. It could take years for Melanie to be fully convicted or granted a bail.
Sir Robert’s jaw tightened at that and he nodded "Once we get Adam’s death certificate, we can make arrangements for the funeral. And we should publicize what Melanie has done. Find someone who can put pressure on the people there to bring things to a head soon. It should not be too difficult. And once everything is done, we’ll make an even bigger announcement. It would be good to claim that I suffered the heart attack because of this news. It would also easily explain your return."
Patrick nodded. " Do you want me to help you with this?" When Sir Robert Collins nodded, he sighed and added slowly. " Okay then. I’ll go and make arrangements for all this." He walked over to the bedside table and picked up a tray. "Here’s your medicine."
Sir Robert glanced at the pills and grimaced. He shifted uncomfortably, his mouth twisting at the sight of them.
Patrick smiled faintly. "These will be discontinued as soon as you’re discharged. So don’t make a face."
