Chapter 35: Briena’s Hospital Visit
Justin had been deeply engrossed in his work, forcing himself to block out any thoughts of Natalie.
But just when he thought he had succeeded, his cellphone rang. The name "Mr. Ford" flashed on the screen, surprising him.
He quickly answered, "Yes, Mr. Ford?" only to be met with the displeased voice of the old man. "Aiden, is this how you treat my granddaughter, your wife?"
Justin was taken aback and heard him again, "Is work more important than my injured, hospitalized granddaughter? How can I be sure that you would take care of her?"
Realizing what was happening, Justin replied quickly, "Apologies, Mr. Ford. I should not have left her alone."
"So?" Albert’s tone remained displeased, expecting more.
"I will be there right away," Justin assured him, already standing up from his chair.
He headed to his room, his hands working to remove his tie and unbutton his shirt, preparing to quickly change into more ordinary-looking clothes.
"Good, I am waiting for you," Albert said before hanging up.
Justin, meanwhile, instructed Noah, who had followed him, trying to understand why his boss had suddenly turned so serious. "Get that low-brand car ready."
"Yes, Mr. Harper."
