The next day, Lacey headed to Linton Group early in the morning.
She was in charge of the livelihoods of over a thousand employees in the company, and it was huge pressure on her.
On the other hand, Nancy and Daniel Hinton went to see Susan Raynor and discuss merging Reagan Pharmaceutical into Linton Group. At the same time, they broach the matter of working together with the Hintons.
As for Hannah Lawson, she was off taking her mother out for some fresh air. The elderly woman had been bored out of her mind from being cooped up and had been yearning to go out for quite some time.
And thus the job of sending Sharon to kindergarten naturally fell on Zeke.
On the way, Sharon fished out an origami paper crane and gave it to Zeke. “Daddy, this is a present for you.”
The roughly-folded paper crane barely resembled a crane and was about the size of a hand, with the words ‘I love you, Daddy’ written on it.
It was simple but very sweet.
Zeke took the crane in his hand, and he felt all warm and fuzzy inside. “Thank you, Sharon. Why did you suddenly want to give Daddy a present?”
Sharon titled her head and looked at him. “Today is Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day!”
Zeke ruffled Sharon’s head. “Wow... Sharon knows all about Father’s Day now. Thank you, Sharon.”
He then noticed that she was in low spirits. “Sharon, you don’t look very happy.”
“Daddy, I miss Papa Hudson. He said he’d come to see me, but it’s been so long, and he hasn’t done it yet.”
Zeke comforted her. “Don’t worry, your Papa Hudson will be back soon. As long as you behave, I can promise that you’ll see him before the summer holidays. Then, we’ll all live together, okay?”
Sharon was very excited when she heard that. “Yes! Then I will have two daddies! Yay!”
After dropping Sharon off at kindergarten, Zeke immediately took his phone out and called Cygnus Room, the highest ranking military-run medical facility in Eurasia. It was one of the country’s ‘SSS’ secrets, and only those with a colonel rank were allowed to undergo treatment there.
Zeke had used his own abilities to get Hudson admitted for treatment on his leg.
An elderly-sounding voice soon answered the call. “Who’s this?”
“It’s me, Zeke Williams.”
The person on the other end perked up immediately and took on a more respectful tone. “Please hold on, Great Marshal. I’ll pass your call over.”
“There’s no need. I just wanted to ask about Hudson.”
“Great Marshal, his leg has been in that state for too long. His bones and muscles have all atrophied and died, so traditional treatments aren’t working at all.”
“We’re now trying some cutting-edge technology where we inject collagen to repair the damaged muscle first, then implant some nanotech onto his bones.”
“If the surgery is a success, his legs will become unimaginably strong to even kill a bear with just a kick.”
Zeke inhaled sharply at this piece of information.
Strong enough to kill a bear with just a kick?
Not even Sole Wolf or Lone Wolf has the strength to be able to do that.
But of course, that is still not quite comparable to me.
Ha, that punk Hudson! Guess there is still a silver lining after all!
And if he returns as a healthy man, then I’ll have another killing machine on my hands.
Zeke chuckled. “Good work. You haven’t disappointed me.”
The voice on the other end trembled with emotion. “Thank you for the compliment, Great Marshal!”
It was always the biggest honor for them to receive praises from the Great Marshal.
After hanging up the call, Zeke suddenly remembered the entertainment company Logan had ‘gifted’ him the day before.
With Lacey and everyone else busy, he decided to take charge of the company personally.
He went on the internet to do a quick search and found that the company was called ‘Nutel Entertainment.’ It had a registered capital of fifty million and was considered average in scale.
The office wasn’t too far away from Linton Group, so Zeke had decided to drive over right then.
Right after he got off the freeway, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure — The aloof and chic Sharon Edward.
