Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 482

"Even in this sorry state, why are you still unable to overcome that annoying habit of yours?" Dylan rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Lowering his head, Kevan grunted in agreement and took the tissues to dry up the water stains on his clothes slowly.

He struggled to finish the rest of the water, wetting his dry and cracked lips.

Glancing at the IV bag above his hand, he asked Dylan, "How much longer until the IV is over?"

There was still half of the liquid left in the IV bag.

"About half an hour," Dylan replied. "Alex went out for a smoke, but he'll be back soon to remove the IV."

Dylan was referring to a doctor friend of his, Alexander Wade.

Alex was working as the head of a department at a hospital and hadn't put in an IV drip for many years.

"Why did you call Alex here?" Kevan furrowed his brows slightly. "Wasn't he busy with the restructuring of the hospital's management recently?"

"What else could I do?" Dylan fixed his glasses. "You can't go to the hospital, and I don't trust other doctors to come here. Calling Alex was my only choice."

Kevan shut up and didn't say anything more.

Alex returned quickly after finishing his cigarette.

"You woke up so soon?" he said in greeting.

Kevan mustered up a slight smile as his response.

"Can't you speed up the infusion?" Kevan asked.

Dylan nudged him with his elbow impatiently. "Stop with the pointless chatter and just make the call!"

"I'm not your employee. Why should I do whatever you tell me?" Alex protested in annoyance. "I rushed over here early in the morning with medical supplies and you've not even thanked me for my efforts!"

"Thank you so much, Dr. Wade!" Dylan humored him immediately. "Make the call right now and find out. Once you've received information regarding his identity, Microworks Corporation will sponsor two new machines for your hospital tomorrow. Deal?"

Alex quickly took out his phone. "Deal! You'd better not go back on your word!"

Soon after, Alex reported the information he obtained from his subordinate, "The patient's name is Gary Logan. He is in his sixties, but his occupation is currently unknown. He was brought to the hospital due to a seizure and is currently resting in the VIP ward. Besides the general manager of the Winston Hotel, there is also another young man in his thirties with him. He seems to be Gary's assistant."

"Gary?" Kevan felt like he had heard that name before but couldn't recall where he heard it.

It was Dylan who reminded him. "Isn't he the CEO of Blue Star Shipping? The company is currently negotiating a partnership with Soaring Corporation. Gary went to the Regal Dynasty Hotel in the first place and requested the presidential suite, however, he ended up going to the Winston Hotel because Cody occupied the suite to fool around with C-list celebrities and actresses."
