The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 80

It was Alistair Zimmerman.

Director Langford panicked, immediately switching to a disgustingly fawning, obsequious demeanor.

"Mr. Zimmerman, what brings you here? Are you feeling unwell? I'll assemble our absolute best medical team to examine you right away."

Alistair waved him off completely. "I'm just here to see Miles."

Miles strolled casually out of the stairwell, his voice quiet. "This is a hospital. Keep it down."

Like a heavily reprimanded schoolchild, the old man instantly lowered his voice. "Right, right, of course..."

"Where is that lovely young lady? How is she doing?"

Director Langford's heart plummeted, and the color instantly drained from Vivian's face beside him.

Alistair Zimmerman had actually come all this way just for Claire? And he was speaking about her with such blatant affection?

Back in the ER room, Claire had just woken up. She was sitting up against the headboard, looking slightly dazed.

Alistair hurried right in.

Director Langford and the rest of the hospital's upper management trailed behind, completely holding their breath.

The old man's face was filled with an apologetic smile. "My dear child, the Zimmerman family failed to handle things properly yesterday."

"Those men..." Alistair paused for a fraction of a second. "They've gone missing. But I've already spoken directly with the authorities. I promise you'll get the justice you deserve."

Alistair Zimmerman was eighty years old and held unimaginable status, yet he was actually apologizing to this young woman?!

The massive crowd standing behind him watched in utter disbelief.

Claire was incredibly overwhelmed and immediately shook her head.

"Mr. Zimmerman, please don't say that. It had absolutely nothing to do with you."

She tried to get out of bed, but Miles quickly pushed her back down.
