A moment later, Aaron replied, "Neither more nor less, strictly based on his injuries."
Suzie asked again, "Can you make that call? If I negotiate the terms, will you tell Jamie that? Otherwise, where will the money come from?"
Aaron nodded. "Ms. Sterling, to tell you the truth, I've been reprimanded by Mr. Baylor a few times since yesterday just for trying to persuade him. He insists Myron doesn't have the guts to sue him and says that animal tried to... he feels holding back from killing him was already polite. But Myron's wife is not someone to be trifled with, and she's unpredictable. If she decides to sue Mr. Baylor..."
Aaron sighed, his face full of distress, and added, "That's just how he is, but I'm worried. If you can negotiate a settlement, I'll... I'll cover the cost."
Suzie was taken aback. She had always known Aaron was incredibly competent and smart, but to think he was willing to pay out of his own pocket to clean up his boss's mess... That level of loyalty was rare.
Suzie stayed silent for a moment before saying slowly, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Aaron nodded. "Yes, Ms. Sterling. Please be quick. I fear they might already be preparing a case."
Suzie nodded and got straight into her car.
....................
Despite the exhausting ordeal of the previous night, the information Nadia had given her made Suzie not want to waste another minute.
Leaving the hospital, Suzie went home to grab all the files she had gathered from Riverfront Hospital and called Stella.
It happened to be the weekend, and Stella was free.
But Suzie hadn't expected Stella to bring Oliver along.
Suzie hadn't called him directly because she felt guilty bothering him.
