Chapter 1070
As the security detail left, Jared thought about Henry, who made his sudden and coincidental appearance just as
Conrad was about to confess.
With that in mind, the young Johnston could not help but take a deep breath and consider the idea of Henry being
involved in all of this.
Back in the ward, Nicole was having a conversation with the doctor when Henry pushed the door in.
"You're here, too, Nicole."
"Uncle Henry." Nicole greeted.
Henry nodded in acknowledgment and turned to the doctor.
"Didn't you say that the patient was about to regain consciousness? A few days have passed, so why isn't he awake
yet?"
"The catch is, everyone has a distinct physiology.Some individuals are stronger and may recover in short order,
while the ones who are frail may take a much longer time to heal.Take this patient, for instance.The latter applies to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim," the doctor explained.
"I didn't know that one's physique has any bearing on one's recovery.It seems that we all need to improve our
health and make our bodies stronger.Has he had his injection today?"
"Not yet.A nurse will come over in a moment to give the patient his infusion."
"Alright, get on with what you've been discussing, then.There are still a few things in the company that will require
my attention.I'll have to excuse myself now."
Henry left after just asking a few questions.
Nicole eyed Henry as he left, and murmured, "What's with him? He came and left in a hurry just like that.Seems a
little strange, to be honest."
"Miss Riddle, what did you say?" the doctor said, looking at her.
"Nothing," she replied.
"Anyway, where were we?"
When Jared came back, the doctor had already left, and Nicole was all alone in the ward.
"Did Henry stop by?" Jared asked.
"Yes, how do you know?"
Nicole looked at him with her head tilted.
"I've already met him," Jared replied.
"Has he said anything?"
"He didn't say much, but before he left, he did ask the doctor why your grandpa isn't already awake by now."
Nicole was still wondering where Jared had met Henry.
"Where did you meet him?"
"In the security room."
"How did he end up there?"
Her eyes narrowed to a frown.
"There must be a spy.Otherwise, he would not have known that there was a security room, let alone be able to
make his way there in a haste.Call this a hunch, but I think he there is relation between him and the weasel we've
apprehended.If Henry wasn't there, he wouldn't have changed his statement."
"Judging by what you just said, there must be some sort of connection between the two of them,"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole asserted, having deduced that which had occurred in the interrogation room based on what Jared had said.
"what are you going to do?" Nicole asked as she looked him in the eye.
"Without some solid evidence, nothing much," he replied.
"But I've already ordered someone to follow that man.I believe it won't take long before we get ourselves some
clues."
"Due to the fact that there are so many of Henry's spies in the hospital, we need to beef up our security measures,"
Nicole reminded Jared.
"Yeah, I've intended to do the same," he said, and turned to his assistant.
''Claus, I need more men over here for Mr.Johnston Sr"s protection"
"Yes, Mr.Johnston," Claus replied.
"How is Grandpa today?" Jared asked and fixed his eyes on Mr.Johnston Sr., who was still lying motionless on the
hospital bed.
"He is just as he was yesterday," Nicole answered.
"Nothing has changed."
A look of disappointment crossed Jared's face as he stared at his grandfather, wondering when the old man would
finally awake from his comatose.
