His assistant encouraged him to head to the hospital.
However, he declined and made his way straight back to the villa. To his surprise, he found Waylen sitting on the sofa, sipping tea as though he had been waiting for him.
“Mr. Fowler.” Leonel spoke softly, hoping to slip past him and head upstairs.
