Sweet Subterfuge
âEven in this sorry state, why are you still unable to overcome that annoying habit of yours?â Dylan rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Lowering his head. Kevan grunted in agreement and took the tissues to dry up the water stains on his clothes slowly.
He struggled to finish the rest of the water, wetting his dry and cracked lips.
Glancing at the bag above his hand, he asked Dylan, âHow much longer until the IV is over?â
There was still hall of the liquid left in the bag.
âAbout half an hour,â Dylan replied. âAlex went out for a smoke, but heâll be back soon to remove the IV.â
Dylan was referring to a doctor friend of his, Alexander Wade Alex was working as the head of a department at a hospital and hadnât put in an IV drip for many years.
âWhy did you call Alex here?â Kevan fumowed his brows slightly. âWasnât he busy with the restructuring of the hospitalâs management recently?â
âWhat else could I do? Dylan fixed his glasses. âYou canât go to the hospital and I donât trust other doctors to come here. Calling my only choice.â
Kevan shut up and didnât say anything more.
Alex returned quickly after finishing his cigarette âYou woke up so soon?â he said in greeting.
Kevan mustered up a slight smile as his response.
âCanât you speed up the infusion?â Kevan asked.
was âOf course not.â Alexsat down beside Dylan, âI could, I wouldâve done it already! I need to get back to the hospital as soon as possible!â âWhat?â Dylan raised his eyebrows and looked at Alex with suspicion. âWhen were you so enthusiastic about work? I heard that ever since you became the head of your department, youâre never at the hospital outside of working hours! Whatâs more, you donât accept walkâin patients you could help it.â
Alex lamented, âDidnât tell you that the hospital management is undergoing a restructuring? Thats my chance to get promoted to a higher position! Besides, I just received news that a bigshot is going to be admitted into our department as a patient this moming. He is definitely someone influential as the general manager of the Winston Hotel escorted him to the hospital in person. It can establish a good relationship with this patient and convince him to sponsor our department with some expensive machines, my promotion will be secured Despite Alexâs longâwinded answer, Kevanâs interest was piqued when Larissaâs job as the general manager of the Winston Hotel was mentioned.
âCall now and find out who that patient really is.â Kevan narrowed his eyes.
Although he knew that Larissa was likely escorting a highâprofile guest from the hotel, what it it was not the case?
He would never allow any mishap to happen to Larissa.
âNow?â Alex was puzzled. âWhy do you want to ask this? Do you know the quest personally?â
Dylan nudged him with his elton impatiently. âStop with the pointless challer and just make the callâ
âIâm not your employee. Why should I do whatever you tell me? Alex protested in annoyance. rushed over here early in the morning with medical supplies and youâve not even thanked me for my efforts!â
âThank you so much, Dr. Wade!â Dylan humored him immediately. âMake the call right now and find out. Once youâve received Information regarding his identity, Microworks Corporation will sponsor two new machines for your hospital tomorrow. Deal?â
Alex quickly took out his phone. âDeal! Youâd better not go back on your word occupation is currently unknown. He was brought to the hospital due to a seizure and is currently resting in the VIP ward. Besides the general manager of the Winston Hotel there is also another young man in his thirties with him. He seems to be Garyâs assistant.â
âGary?â Kevan lelt like he had heard that name before but couldnât recall where he heard it.
was Dylan who reminded him. âIsnât he the CEO of Blue Star Shipping? The company is currently negotiating a partnership with Soaring Corporation, Gary went to the Regal Dynasty Hotel in the first place and requested the presidential suite, however, he ended up going to The Winston Hotel because Cody occupied the suite to fool around with Câlist celebrities and actresses.â
