Carson reached out and stopped him.
“No need to call him now as he will not be able to answer the phone.”
Since Lukas had been taking care of Joey in Sue Garden the previous night, he didn’t know what had happened.
So when he heard this, he was keenly aware that something was amiss.
Lukas froze and asked,
“What do you mean? Why will he not be able to answer the phone now?
Mr.
Scott, what’s wrong with Mr.
Victor? Is he…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Don’t worry.” Noticing the grimness on Lukas’ face, Carson had to clarify.
“The wound has opened up a couple of times and has gotten inflamed.
He just has to stay in the operating room a little longer.
He is still under anesthesia.”
To prevent the wound from opening up again, Dr.
Turner specially instructed the anesthetist to give Victor a dose that would keep him unconscious for twenty-four hours.
Carson cto know about it this morning because Ivan asked him to bring the contract.
“So why is he once again in the operating room?”
Carson didn’t know the reason either, but he was aware that Rachel had gone to the hospital after Victor woke up last night.
So even if he didn’t know the exact reason, he guessed that it had to be related to Rachel.
“No, it would be better if I call him,” Lukas said softly.
“Lukas, don’t trouble yourself.
Vic is indeed fine.” Carson could see
Lukas’ concern and worry, and he understood his feelings.
Lukas had few relatives, and all of his children were abroad.
He had watched
Victor grow up to be a man and treated him as his own child.
Carson reassured him, “The doctor said that as long as Victor rests well, he will be fine.
If you are worried, I will head to the hospital after leaving the Salazar Group and take a video of him for you.
Okay?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLukas was doubtful and asked, “Is he really in good shape?”
“He is.
If I lied to you, I would never be able to find wife for the rest of my life.” After saying that, Carson glanced at his watch and said, “Well, it’s nearly time.
I’m leaving.”
Before Lukas could say a word, Carson had already turned around and strode down the stairs to the car.
The driver opened the door for Joey and Carson.
Lukas stood on the steps and watched them get into the Mercedes-Benz, which slowly made its way out of Sue Garden.
The Salazar family’s house was located in a gated compound that had several villas.
It was about twenty minutes away from Sue Garden.
Joey rolled down the window, his elbow against the window frame, and blinked his big eyes as he looked out at the passing view.
Carson was about to inspect the contract, but he noticed that Joey was lost in thought.
