Chapter 554

“Yes,” John did not hide it when Sierra questioned him about recent health issues.

“Why?” Sierra asked.

“Because I missed you, but I couldn’t see you.” John told her the truth without hesitation. His dark eyes were full of complicated emotions. “The stress got worse because of how emotional I became to the point it started affecting my physical health.”

Sierra did not expect him to be so direct.

In the past, he would always keep it from her whenever somethin her to worry. On the other hand, he wanted her focused on lovin

On the one hand, he did not want distracted by anything else.

“But you don’t need to worry about tone stayed firm. “I won’t let anything happen to me.”

Sierra looked at him a few times. “Is this the result of your adjustment?”

John fell silent.

Meanwhile, Robin and Kenneth were eavesdropping outside the door.

“I thought he would coldly say he was fine and drive Sierra away after he woke up,” Kenneth said. He came early in case that happened and he needed to step in. “I didn’t expect him to say anything of the sort this time.”

Under normal circumstances, with John’s personality, he would never accept Sierra coming to see him because of Solomon’s words. Not just Solomon, he would not accept anyone’s influence but his own if he wanted to be exact.

If Sierra came to see him, then it could only be because she missed him and still loved him in her heart.

“He might have acted that way in the past.” Robin had seen enough by now to understand much more. “But that’s not going to happen right now.”

Kenneth was curious. “Why?”

Robin saw it through already. “Mr. Henderson knows Ms. Bell doesn’t have him in her heart anymore. If he remains as stubborn as before, then he could forget about ever speaking to her again for the rest of his life.”

Back when he still lived at Campanile Estate, he could comfort himself a little because Sierra had once lived there. Everywhere reminded them of him and Sierra.

But ever since he had moved out of Campanile Estate, there had not been a single trace of Sierra in his new place. John could only live on with his memories, to the point that even sleeping became difficult. In the end, he had to rely on medication.

“We’ll come back after they finish talking.” Kenneth finally relaxed. “This isn’t the right time to interrupt.”

“Right.” Robin felt the same.

The two of them straightened up and turned around together.

The moment they turned, they ran straight into Marcus, who was standing behind them. He looked at them suspiciously, as if he could not understand how the personal assistant to the CEO of Henderson Group and the CEO of Gomez Group were standing outside eavesdropping.

“You didn’t see anything just now.” Kenneth pulled out a stack of cash and held it out to him. “And we were never

here.”

Marcus glanced at the stack of high denomination bills. If Kenneth was starting that high, then he clearly cared a lot about keeping this quiet.

That meant there was room to bargain.

“I saw it,” Marcus said.

Kennet’s eyes opened wide.

Robin went silent.

Kenneth gritted his teeth. “Can’t you pretend you didn’t?”

Marcus looked at the cash in his hand and said bluntly, “This isn’t enough to make me temporarily blind.”

Kenneth stared at him, confused.

So… He wanted more?

“How much would it take for you not to have seen what just happened?” Kenneth asked.

“Five times,” Marcus said.

Kenneth nodded. “Fine. Give me your account number.”

Marcus did as he was told and Kenneth transferred the money to him without a second thought.

After Marcus received it, Kenneth reminded him, “You took the money, so you’d better keep your word.”

“As for what just happened…” Robin trailed off. The two of them were being so serious just now that his mind had gone blank for a moment. “Even if Ms. Bell and Mr. Henderson found out about it, it wasn’t that big of a deal.”
