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.Thetter applies to him," the doctor exined.


    "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 wille 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 thepany 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, иσν???вσσк.￠σм"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 rtion 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,"


    Nicole asserted, having deduced that which had urred 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.


    ''''us, I need more men over here for Mr.Johnston Sr"s protection"


    "Yes, Mr.Johnston," us 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 hisatose.
