565: Worried
Mr. Simon stared at him, curiosity and determination mingling in his expression. "What's it? Name it, I'll do anything you say! Anything at all!" He was eager to help, driven by the overwhelming guilt he felt for the mess that had happened on his watch. The weight of perceived failure pressed heavily on his shoulders, and any opportunity to redeem himself was welcome.Dave smiled warmly at his friend's enthusiasm, appreciating the loyalty despite everything. "All I want you to help me do is look more into him. Dig deeper. Investigate further.""Huh?" Mr. Simon asked, tilting his head slightly, not quite understanding."Help me look more into this Mr. Yale," Dave elaborated, his voice calm and measured. "Help me get more information about him—his background, his connections, his operations, his weaknesses. Spend your time doing your research and digging out more information about him. I believe there should be something useful out there since he just came out of nowhere and decided to
564: Don't worry
Mr. Simon explained it all to them in exhaustive detail, leaving nothing out. When he finally reached the end of his account, he sat back heavily in his chair and concluded with a weary sigh."So... that's it," he said, his voice flat with defeat. "I mean... he's a very scary person, this Mr. Yale. The way he operates, the resources at his disposal, the people he has in his pocket—it's unlike anything I've ever encountered."He added, leaning forward with urgency, "He's not someone you can just approach like that. I think he's so powerful that taking him down is a dangerous task on its own. It's not just about money or connections anymore. It's about the kind of influence that makes people disappear from industries overnight. The kind of power that crushes anyone who dares to stand in his way."Dave stared at Anne across the table. They had heard everything Mr. Simon had to say, absorbing every word, every detail, every warning. Now they found themselves assessing his words carefully,
563: Him
Mr. Simon sighed deeply, the sound carrying the weight of everything he had witnessed and failed to prevent. He hesitated for a long moment, gathering his thoughts and composing himself before he finally started speaking. His hands were clasped tightly on the table, knuckles white from tension.He explained how everything had been going smoothly and peacefully at the hospital before everything fell apart. There were no warning signs, no indications that anything bad was brewing beneath the surface. The hospital was doing well—patients were being treated, staff were working diligently, finances were stable. It was business as usual, or so he had believed.Then suddenly, he started noticing some strange activities that raised red flags in his mind.Some members of the hospital board—doctors and senior staff whom Dave and Simon had trusted implicitly—were having suspicious meetings without including him. He would walk past conference rooms and see them gathered behind closed doors. He wo
562: I'm sorry!
They soon arrived at their destination—a quiet, upscale restaurant on the edge of the city where they had agreed to meet Mr. Simon. The establishment was known for its privacy and discretion, making it the perfect location for conversations that needed to remain confidential.Dave had arranged for them to book a VIP room, a private space away from the main dining area where they could speak freely without prying ears. The room was elegantly furnished with a large wooden table, comfortable chairs, and soft lighting that created an atmosphere of calm despite the tension brewing beneath the surface.The two of them sat there waiting for Mr. Simon, the weight of the trending news still heavy in the air between them. Anne glanced at her phone occasionally, watching the story continue to spread, while Dave sat calmly with his hands folded on the table, his expression unreadable.Soon, the door opened and Mr. Simon walked in. He didn't waste time with pleasantries or greetings. As soon as he
561: Reaction
The two of them were in the car, steadily making their way through the city traffic to meet Mr. Simon, when Anne glanced down at her phone and froze. She had been casually scrolling through social media, passing time during the drive, when her eyes caught sight of something that made her heart stop.It was trending news. Breaking news. News that was now taking the internet by storm, spreading across platforms like wildfire."What the hell is this?" she whispered, completely speechless as she stared at her phone screen. Her eyes widened, and she blinked several times, hoping the words would rearrange themselves into something less devastating. But they didn't. She couldn't believe her eyes at all. This couldn't be happening. Not now. Not after everything.Dave noticed her sudden change in demeanor immediately. He glanced over from the driver's seat, concern flickering across his features. "What's it? What happened? Why is your face like that?" He tried to steal a glance at her phone wh
560: For Information
Mrs. Kit cleared the tense air that had settled over the dining table, her voice deliberately light and cheerful as she said, "Hey! Let's enjoy our meal for now and not worry too much about it, alright? Let's not dwell too much on negative things tonight. And let's hope it's all still just a rumor. Okay? There's no point in spoiling a perfectly good dinner over something that might not even be true."Dave smiled appreciatively at her attempt to lift everyone's spirits. He raised his glass of drink, and soon everyone followed suit, their glasses clicking together in a gentle toast. "Yes. Let's all hope so and enjoy the moment," he said, his voice warm despite the weight pressing on his chest. "Let's not talk about negative stuff anymore tonight. Let's just enjoy the moment and each other's company. We've all been through enough lately. Tonight is for peace and good food."Dave said this primarily to cheer them up, to ease the concern etched on his mother's face and the worry in Anne's
