“Mm, Leigh arranged some classes for me. I was supposed to attend one, but the tutor had something come up last minute and rescheduled. I’m free until six tonight. Want me to keep you company for a stroll?”
Lemon considered it. Their scandal had already made Waylon blow a fuse. If he saw them shopping together now, who knew what kind of storm it might stir up? Best not to risk it.
The two were speaking quietly with their heads lowered, and Chase kept watching them. In the end, Wendy grabbed his chin and turned his head. “Still not done staring?”
Chase caught her hand. “Noah said she’s known Lemon for a long time, back before she even took over Fenon International. So why didn’t the two of them ever get together?”
The reason… might be standing right in front of him.
The reporters from Typhoon Corp. did not leave the hospital until late at night. Several doctors who had been interviewed were packing up to head home, including Bernard.
Melody came over to her and said, “Dr. Sean just got a phone call. He looked really tense and rushed out. He did not even bother changing out of his scrubs.”
Bernard’s eyes lowered. “Got it. Send me his home address. I’ll go check it out.”
Melody nodded, “Okay.”
Based on Melody’s investigation, Sean had recently signed off on a drug approval. One completely unrelated to his department. But the medication did not work as intended. It was likely a dosage issue.
Could it be that he messed something up and is now facing retaliation?
Bernard changed clothes, grabbed her car keys, and headed out.
Sean came from a regular family and lived in an ordinary apartment complex. It was not close to the hospital. He and Bernard were not close either; just a nodding acquaintance. So, he would not recognize her
car.
Chase received a call from Bernard, who said there was something going on with Sean.
“You followed him already?” Chase stepped out of the room, a little concerned. “Are you sure you can handle it? Should we call Waylon instead?”
“Bro, how can you say a man ‘can’t handle it‘?” Bernard quipped.
That was not what I meant at all!
Chase froze for a few seconds before realizing he was joking. “Where’s Sean now?”
Bernard answered, “He’s upstairs. He moved really fast. I’m parked just below their building. I can’t just barge in, so I’ll wait here and see what happens. What do you think’s going on at his place?”
Sean was already running late that night. He had just finished and was about to sign off and head home when his phone rang.

Because it was not his phone.
