Chapter 1070
As the security detail left, Jared thought about Henry, who made his sudden and coincidental appearance just as Conrad was about to confess.
With that in mind, the young Johnston could not help but take a deep breath and consider the idea of Henry being involved in all of this.
Back in the ward, Nicole was having a conversation with the doctor when Henry pushed the door in.
"You're here, too, Nicole."
"Uncle Henry." Nicole greeted.
Henry nodded in acknowledgment and turned to the doctor.
"Didn't you say that the patient was about to regain consciousness? A few days have passed, so why isn't he awake yet?"
"The catch is, everyone has a distinct physiology.Some individuals are stronger and may recover in short order, while the ones who are frail may take a much longer time to heal.Take this patient, for instance.The latter applies to him," the doctor explained.
"I didn't know that one's physique has any bearing on one's recovery.It seems that we all need to improve our health and make our bodies stronger.Has he had his injection today?"
"Not yet.A nurse will come over in a moment to give the patient his infusion."
"Alright, get on with what you've been discussing, then.There are still a few things in the company that will require my attention.I'll have to excuse myself now."
Henry left after just asking a few questions.
Nicole eyed Henry as he left, and murmured, "What's with him? He came and left in a hurry just like that.Seems a little strange, to be honest."
"Miss Riddle, what did you say?" the doctor said, looking at her.
"Nothing," she replied.
"Anyway, where were we?"
When Jared came back, the doctor had already left, and Nicole was all alone in the ward.
"Did Henry stop by?" Jared asked.
"Yes, how do you know?"
Nicole looked at him with her head tilted.
