Chapter 1923 Hide
“What’s wrong? Is Joan being too strict with you these days?” Gabriella teased, posing seductively.
Larry let out a scoff and turned around.
“Get to the point. I’m a busy man.”
The woman stared at Larry helplessly. She was aware of how he was dismissing her.
Larry, I’m not going to let you have your happily ever after since I can’t have you for myself.
She dug her nails into the flesh of her palm.
Bam! The clinic’s door was flung open, giving the doctor inside a scare.
“Mr. Norton, why are you here?” The doctor peered at Larry curiously.
“I’m looking for someone.”
His tone sent shivers down the doctor’s spine.
Joan wasn’t around, and the clinic only consisted of doctors and patients. Who in the world is he looking for?
“Mr. Norton, Joan’s not around…”
The doctor quickly shut herself up when she saw the look on his face.
Fine. Whatever. I’ll just let him do whatever he likes.
The doctor nodded goodbye and walked to a hut beside the clinic to have lunch with Lonnie.
“Who came?” Lonnie asked with his guard up.
He would be dead meat if it were the same men who had beaten him up.
“It’s nothing. Eat up. Ignore it.” The doctor chewed on a piece of meat as she spoke.
Larry had searched through most of the wards, but Lonnie was nowhere to be found.
Did Caspian get it wrong?
Larry pulled out his phone and called the man.
“Caspian, did you give me wrong information?” he asked impassively.
“No, boss, he’s definitely there. I’m sure of it!” Caspian said determinedly.
Larry’s expression grew grim.
Suddenly, he noticed a small hut beside the clinic. It was where the doctor cooked and had her meals. Larry slowly walked up to the door. He knocked lightly.
“What is it?” the doctor called out.
“Can I come in?” Larry asked politely.
In that instance, Lonnie panicked. “Oh no, I need to hide.”
“Why? He’s not here for you.” The doctor grabbed Lonnie’s arm.
However, Lonnie felt it was better to be safe than sorry in these trying times.
Larry placed his ear on the door and listened in.
She’s having a conversation! Larry furrowed his brows.
“Doc, it’s kind of complicated. I’ll explain everything to you later. Can you please help hide me first…” Lonnie said anxiously.
The doctor became alert as she stared at man before him.
He’s not a wanted criminal, is he?
“Hurry!” Lonnie wailed.
The doctor was so terrified upon that thought that she immediately pointed at the cupboard beside her and watched as Lonnie hid himself there.
The doctor took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and opened the door.
She smiled awkwardly when she came to face Larry. “Mr. Norton, how can I help you?”
The man barged into the hut and looked around.
“Were you alone just now?” he asked coldly.
The doctor hesitated for a bit, deciding to cover up for Lonnie in the end.
“Yeah, I was alone,” she replied cautiously.
Larry regarded her with eyes that held suspicion.
Why is she lying? She wasn’t alone just now.
“Doctor, have you seen a green-haired man anywhere?”
She hesitated for a bit before denying.
Larry could tell that she was lying based on her awkward reaction. However, he didn’t understand why she was doing it.
Lonnie held his breath as he hid in the cupboard. Even though the man’s voice sounded familiar, he dared not reveal himself because he couldn’t seem to recall whose voice it belonged to.
After a brief exchange, Larry left the clinic and walked over to Delilah’s house.
“Larry, what happened?” Why do you look so glum these days?” Joan questioned worriedly as she went to grab hold of his arms.
