Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1141

“Can I fly back home to receive treatment?” Edmund asked.

Right after he said that, the doctor glared at him angrily. “Are you serious? If you insist on boarding the plane, you’ll die on the way back!”

Edmund fell silent.

“All right, he’ll stay. I’ll pay the fees now!” She grabbed the notice from the doctor and left to pay the medical expense for him.

A few minutes later, Edmund’s subordinate arrived. He noticed that Edmund seemed pleased, though he was lying in bed. No one would’ve known that he had been beaten to a pulp a while ago!

“Mr. Edmund? Are you okay?” he asked carefully.

“Mm?”

Edmund put on a calm look and sat up to look at his subordinate.

“Have you settled everything?” he questioned tersely.

“Yes. You told me. Mr. Cooper would be there soon, but he didn’t show up, though I waited for two hours,” the man stated doubtfully.

Edmund looked away.

He was back to his usual aloof self. Impatiently, he said, “How would I know? Those men told me he would be there soon when they released me.”

“Huh?” The subordinate was shocked to learn that. “You mean, they released you?”

“Yes. They said my dad was on the way and agreed to let me join them. I said yes, so they let me go,” Edmund responded, his voice indicating a lack of patience.

Damn it! His subordinate turned pale. This is terrible!

He rushed out and called Benedict, who was still on his way here.

“Hello, Mr. Cooper. Are you here? We’re in trouble!”

“What is it again?” Benedict, who had just gotten off his plane, roared in anger.

The man cried, “Mr. Edmund is back, but he just told me he agreed to work for those people.”

“What?” As expected, Benedict blanched in horror.

He gripped his smartphone as his chest heaved angrily.

“Is he a fool? Why did he agree to work for them?” he demanded.

“Well, Mr. Cooper, those people must’ve tricked him. He told me they claimed you agreed to let him join, so he agreed to it,” the subordinate revealed miserably.
