As the car pulled away, Norton struggled violently against the bodyguards. "Letgo! Can't you understand English?" But before he could finish his sentence, the lead bodyguard spoke coldly, "Mr. Patel, it's tto escort you abroad." "No, I'm not going abroad! Letgo..." Norton protested, trying to push them away.
But his resistance was futile, and the bodyguards dragged him off, leaving him with nothing but bitter determination.
He wasn't going to let Cyrus and Baldrick get away with this! Nancy was disconnected from the involving Cyrus, Baldrick, and Norton at this point. In the hospital, she sat anxiously, her eyes fixed on the light above the operating room door. When it finally turned off and the doctor emerged, her heart skipped a beat.
"Doctor, how is Judson?" she asked immediately.

Nancy's eyes widened, the weight of the news pressing down on her. "I understand. Thank your docton."T"No need to thank me. A nurse will take Mr. Buchanan to a private room shortly. I must attend to other patients now." The doctor nodded and walked away.
