The night passed in the blink of an eye. Those who needed to know found out about the news. Those
who didn’t continued on with their life and started a new day as usual.
For Franklin, who was standing in the yard of his house, that day would be a difficult and torturous day.
Despite his son assuring him that the Tower would open that day, he didn’t have the peace of mind. He
wanted to call his son to ask but couldn’t bear to do so.
“I don’t know if Jay is back from his matters?” Standing at the corner of his yard in front of some
Chinese redbuds, Franklin’s eyes wandered as he mumbled softly to himself.
Shortly after that, the window on the second floor was opened. A beautiful, bare face peeked out. “You
have a call, dear. It’s from Mr. Ramirez.”
Richard?
Franklin’s eyes froze. Did something bad happen at the Tower again?
He had been in the business world for so many years. How could he not know that someone was
deliberately messing with them by sealing the Tower shut?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne of the biggest possibilities was that someone was targeting him in order to hurt his son.
That was why even though he was almost stabbed and beaten up to death by others the day before,
Franklin didn’t say anything and even acted like he didn’t care.
It was so that his son wouldn’t feel so worried or guilty.
As a father who was nearing his fifties, he believed that not obstructing his son was the biggest help he
could give to his son.
“I’m coming.”
He composed himself before answering his wife. He rushed up the stairs.
Upstairs, he took the cell phone from his wife’s hand and had a heavy feeling. He asked in a low voice,
“Mr. Ramirez, what’s up? Did something happen at the Tower…”
“Mr. Lynch, good news!” Richard’s excited voice came from the other end.
“I just received a notice. It said that our Tower can resume business?”
“Really? When?” Franklin started to get excited as well.
“We can do it now if we wish to!”
Richard felt that it was unimaginable when he said it himself.
It was just one night. How did those old men change their minds so quickly?
Holding the cell phone, Franklin asked in an urgent voice, “Where are you now?”
Richard replied, “I’m at the entrance of the Tower.”
“Wait for me, I’ll go there right away!”
After hanging up, he rushed into the room and called out, “Suzie, something urgent has come up at the
Tower. I need to go out.”
“Go ahead. Remember to come back in the afternoon to cook lunch for me. I want to eat pickled fish.
Also, be careful when you’re driving.” Suzie’s voice came from the room.
“Okay.”
Franklin rushed out of the door as soon as he answered. When he reached the yard, he thought of
something and then took out his cell phone to call his son.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJacob, who rushed back from Cloudshill to Paramount overnight, was driving toward Newlife Hospital.
He smiled as he got a call from his father. “Hmph, they reacted pretty quickly. But Dad, don’t rush. It’s
easy to seal the Tower shut, but unsealing it is difficult.”
Franklin got into his car, which was parked at his house. He asked as he started the engine, “Then
what should I do?”
“How about this, I’ll get someone to go with you. When the time comes, he’ll have the full authority to
make decisions. You can just stand at one side and look on,” Jacob replied as he held on to the
steering wheel.
“Alright. I’ll see him at the entrance of the Tower.” Franklin nodded unconsciously and hung up.
He stepped on the gas and left Rowan Lane. He couldn’t wait as he sped over.
Behind him, at an unseen angle, Ocho followed him at a distance in an ordinary car.
At the entrance of Newlife Hospital, Jacob was about to park when he saw Moira, who was standing
there. She raised her wrist, pointed to one side, and gestured ferociously with her index finger.
He wrinkled his brow slightly as he held on to the steering wheel and drove over to the entrance of the
hospital.
