Chapter 1187 Crooked Logic
Toby and Tom followed the man to the VIP floor of Lancaster Hospital’s patient building.
After they exited the elevator, the man stopped. “President Fuller, I won’t be accompanying you for the rest of the way. That person is inside that ward. You have to go there on your own.”
“You may leave.” While waving his hand, Toby told the man he could excuse himself.
He also knew why that man did not want to bring him—the boss—over to the ward.
Since Connor would be staying in Seafield for a while, Toby would still want someone to keep an eye on Connor. If that man led Toby and Tom into Connor’s ward, Connor would see that man.
Therefore, that man would not be able to stalk Connor anymore. That was why that man said he could not lead them to the ward.
“Yes, President Fuller. I’ll be taking my leave now.” The man bowed, turned around, and got back into the elevator to leave.
Now that they knew which ward Connor was in, Tom self-consciously walked in front to lead Toby toward the ward.
When they came to the entrance, Tom stopped. “President Fuller, we’re here.”
Meanwhile, Toby remained silent; instead, he stood before the door with narrowed eyes while staring at the tightly shut door.
On the other side of the door was his biggest enemy of this lifetime.
“Knock on the door.” Toby parted his thin lips and ordered.
Nodding, Tom did so with several loud bangs.
His actions were hard and rough, which made loud thudding noises when knocking. It was better to describe his actions as trying to bring the door down rather than knocking.
Such actions were naturally impolite.
However, in Toby and Tom’s eyes, the person inside the room did not deserve their respect, and such a method of knocking was already considered respectful.
Otherwise, they would have knocked down the door and barged in. After all, it was not like they could not compensate for it, nor were they afraid of the Lancasters.
Inside the ward, Connor’s assistant was helping him reapply his bandages. As soon as they were done, they heard a loud banging on their door.
The loud sound shocked Connor so much that he trembled in fear and accidentally pulled on his injuries, which caused him to hiss in pain. His already pale face lost more of its remaining color while there were even beads of cold sweat.
When Xander noticed his boss’ condition, he asked, “Mr. Salzburg, are you alright?”
Connor was in so much pain that he could not say anything. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and forced himself to endure the pain until it subsided.
Seeing that he could not be of much help, Xander kept silent and stood at the side, afraid that he might anger his boss and be punished as a result.
A while later, Connor felt the pain in his body gradually subsiding. Although there was still some pain, it was much better than when he first pulled his injuries.
At least the throbbing pain in his temples had died down and his furrowed eyebrows could finally relax.
