Chapter 238: Who Are You?
Spencer walked into the hospital with a small smile tugging at his lips. Did they really think he was going to confess to something like trying to murder the old man? As if he’d just walk in and admit guilt.
Today, he would claim innocence- calmly, convincingly and even let his grandfather know about Adam being alive. He’d lay out the truth, or at least his version of it, and twist it just enough to prove that it had been Patrick all along who orchestrated the entire attempt to murder and rescue. His father had orchestrated the entire mess, and then tried to pin it on him like he was some kind of fool.
That was the plan. That was how Spencer had arranged everything from the start as well. The nurse who had been caught would confess that she had received money from someone called Patrick. It was all going to fall into place today. With that quiet confidence encouraging his every step, he made his way down the hallway, heading straight for the hospital room. He reached the door and pushed it open slowly, prepared for what came next.
Then he stopped.
Inside the room were three people. Two people who weren’t supposed to be here. Adam. Melanie.
They were supposed to be in Maniwa—one locked away for good and one dead, as far as his grandfather was concerned. Instead, they stood here now, alive and breathing, looking right at him. Dam* it! This was just not done! He needed to bring things to the old man in his own way.
Feeling panic set in, at the thought that Sir Collins had already discovered his lie before he could get rid of his mistakes, he looked around the room to explain everything but the old man was nowhere to be found.
Spencer took a step in, his smile faltered and he asked with an edge of suspicion. "What are you doing here?"
Adam smiled at that and grinned. "Surprise, I’m here to settle scores. I must say, I was touched when my dear brother flew all the way to Maniwa to bring over my dead body. So, I brought a gift for you. Thought you might want to see it."
