Chapter 2007
His hand clutching the walking stick was gradually tightening
Sean and his companions initially thought Wayne’s visibly good mood would make the day a breeze. But barely a minute after Secretary Tesdal had left, President Silverman’s intimidating aura began to spread.
Even Sean found it somewhat suffocating.
The elevator had arrived, Wayne and his group got on.
As the elevator doors were closing, Wayne saw the annoying himself standing outside, he did not come in.c2
Suddenly, he remembered the moment that annoying himself had pushed him down the stairs that day.
“Walt!” Almost instinctively, Wayne blocked the closing elevator doors with his hand.
The elevator was of excellent quality, upon sensing an obstruction, it immediately bounced open. But Wayne’s arm still felt a numb pain from the force of the collision.
“President Silverman!” Sean and the others exclaimed in shock.
Wayne, supporting himself on his walking stick, had already strode out
The annoying himself had disappeared.
His worry and fear intensified as he headed straight towards Rosalynn.
The wind on the upper floor was a bit strong at this moment.
Rosalynn listened to Paige whispering on the other end.
“Does Quentin Silverman have a mental illness?” Paige asked curiously.
Wayne’s background was still top secret, and Paige was clueless.
“I’m not sure. I’ll have someone look into it,” Rosalynn vaguely answered
Just then, the glass door to the balcony was abruptly pushed open. Wayne appeared, in a rush.
Rosalynn, taken aback, turned to look at him, “Wayne?”
“Are you alright?” Wayne quickly walked up to her, examining her anxiously from head to toe.
Rosalynn shook her head.
Then she told Paige. “That’s enough, we’ll talk later.”
Rosalynn then hung up the phone.
“Of course I’m okay. What could have possibly happened?” Rosalynn asked
Wayne’s face looked terrible, his lips were devoid of any color, clearly showing signs of shock.
He remained silent, struggling to regulate his breathing.
He gently embraced Rosalynn, leaning against her, “Honey, I’m sick.”
