“Naomi, go and pack some clothes and bring the medicine for me,” Francis ordered his wife.
And so, Naomi went upstairs immediately. After a while, she packed a suitcase of clothes and passed it to Alex after returning. “Mr. Hunter, please take good care of my husband. He is not feeling well.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Tillman. I will definitely take good care of President Tillman.” Alex nodded.
Francis’ cell phone rang at that point. He glanced at it and went to his study room to accept the call.
Naomi immediately took out a medicine bottle and stuffed it into Alex’s hand as soon as Francis left. “Before doing the deed, swap back his bottle so no one will find out the truth.”
Alex nodded and put the bottle in his briefcase.
After a while, Francis came out, and Alex accompanied him to leave the house. However, the former suddenly felt dizzy as he supported himself with the door.
“Hubby, what’s the matter?” Naomi hurried over to support him.
“I’m okay. Have you packed the medicine?”
“Yes, it’s in the briefcase. Remember to take one tablet every day,” Naomi urged.
Francis took the same medicine for months and it was effective. So, he trusted the medicine and never thought it was swapped with other pills. As long as I have the drugs, I will be able to handle the business trip even if I am not feeling well.
When Francis sat in the car, he tried to rest his eyes. Alex asked, “President Tillman, is it just the two of us?”
“Yes, we will go there to gather some intel.” Francis nodded..
Alex had a gleam in his eyes as the plan
was going well. He looked at the resting Francis, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Before they could get onto the highway, Francis’ cell phone rang. Alex felt anxious and nervously eavesdropped on his phone call.
“Hi, Anastasia,” Francis answered the call from his eldest daughter.
“Dad, are you free tonight? I would like to
invite you over to dinner at the Presgrave
Residence tonight.”
“Of course I would love to go!” Francis replied excitedly and tried to get Alex’s attention. “Alex, hey Alex! Stop and return to my house. I won’t go to Haystone today.”
