Chapter 216 Ethan Had Found Out (1)
Lawrence immediately thought about delegating the job to Ethan and asked, “Since you’re coming along. why don’t you handle this matter? You can be in charge!
“You should handle it yourself. I’m only accompanying you since I have something else in mind Ethan clearly showed no interest in this matter. The only reason he agreed to go was because Alice had mentioned knowing Tanner. In fact, he distinctly remembered that Alice had implied she had seen Tanner’s interview online. Alice knew Tanner, but Tanner definitely wouldn’t know Alice. He was well aware that it was impossible to find out anything about Alice from Tanner.
Thus, he didn’t know why he impulsively agreed to his father’s proposal just now. But since he had already informed his father he would be attending, he couldn’t back out now. Plus, going over to take a look wouldn’t take up a lot of his time anyway. At this point, after he had spent two days and nights searching for Alice, he was now quite certain that she had gone to Cliaria. So, he made a call to Zayn.
Zayn was currently treating Pierce and Pierce was staying at Zayn’s private hospital for the sake of convenience. If Alice had gone to Cliaria, she would definitely visit Pierce, and Zayn would surely know about it. “Mr. Knight, how can I help you?” Zayn answered the call quite promptly this time.
“Has my wife been to your office these past few days?” Ethan, who didn’t like beating around the bush.. asked directly.
“No.” Zayn replied swiftly without any hesitation. As he was very concerned about Pierce’s condition, he had been studying Pierce’s case whenever he had spare time, so he spent an exceptionally long time in Pierce’s ward. That was why he was certain that Alice hadn’t visited in the past few days.
Ethan furrowed his brows upon hearing that answer. If Alice had been there, she would surely have inquired about Pierce’s condition. If Zayn hadn’t seen Alice, then Alice surely wasn’t in Cliaria. But if she hadn’t gone to Chiaria, where on Earth could she be?
Nonetheless, since Ethan was already on the phone with Zayn, he also took the opportunity to inquire about Pierce’s condition. “How’s my brother’s condition lately? Lawrence glanced at his son and couldn’t help but smile upon hearing that.
“Huh? Your brother?” Zayn, on the other end of the phone, didn’t immediately understand what he was getting on and was momentarily confused. Still, once he realized just who Ethan was talking about, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Oh, you mean Pierce. Your sudden use of “brother caught me off guard.”
Ethan smirked upon hearing that. As Pierce was Alice’s biological brother, and Alice was his wife, so technically speaking. Pierce could be considered like his brother as well.
Now that Zayn had interacted with Ethan prior to this, he didn’t dare to confuse Ethan with a load of medical jargon that meant absolutely nothing. So, he said bluntly, “Pierce’s treatment is going smoothly.”
“Mhm” Ethan responded and paused slightly before adding. “Do notify me immediately if my wife pays a
Visit”
