He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 253

Right at that moment, a message from Lydia came through. She was likely asking him for that specific drug.

He detested being ordered around. He had warned this woman multiple times before, but she seemed accustomed to barking commands.

His brow furrowed. He murmured a few instructions to his subordinate, his tone dropping to a whisper. "Go get it done."

The waiter standing by the door quickly hurried off.
