Chapter 996
James placed a hand on Erin’s shoulder to direct her to his room, and she nodded.
After she left, James turned toward Zachary. "Sit.’
"What is it?" Zachary asked, eying him skeptically.
"I can tell you're in a bad mood. Anything you want to say to me?"
Zachary smiled but said nothing despite taking his seat. "Come on. Don’t jinx me like that."
James did not press him, probably sensing that Zachary had trouble talking about it.
Zachary then added, "Let's go get a drink when you're feeling better."
James nodded.
In his room, Tommy was writing his own name on a notebook.
Irene told him to learn it by the day and to make it look nice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile he did, she stood by the bed to call Stan, but no one answered.
She put down the phone and returned to the table to check on Tommy's handwriting.
Around an hour later, her phone started ringing.
It was a return call from Stan, and when she picked it up, she asked, "Why weren't you answering?"
On the other end, Stan shot a look at Isaac before lying, "Mr. Jefferson is with the doctor. He can't answer right
now."
In reality, they were not at the hospital.
Isaac had paid a huge ransom and given off a major business from Remy to save James, and he had his phone on
silent as they were just discussing it.
The matter was resolved and they were now on their way to the hospital, while Stan himself would be in charge of
looking for Hector.
They had no idea where that cowardly wretch was hiding even now.
"Really? What did the doctor say?" Irene asked.
Stan was speechless for a moment, wondering what he should say just then.
"Give me the phone," Isaac suddenly told him.
Stan went over and handed it to Isaac. "It's the missus, sir."
Isaac certainly knew, which was why he asked for it.
Taking it from Stan, he said, "The doctor said that I'm fine. Don't worry."
Irene then complained, "You told me not to follow you, and now I can't even call you to ask after you?"
Isaac lowered his gaze. "I didn't say that."
Irene's fingers clenched over her phone. "I miss you. Come home soon."
"Yeah," he replied softly.
Irene did not want to keep him either and hung up.
Isaac then handed the phone back to Stan. "Let's go.’

Their car was already waiting outside and Stan helped him get in, and they headed to the hospital.
They had already made the arrangements and would arrive on time as they traveled there now.
After they did, the doctor first performed a comprehensive examination of Isaac's eyes and determined that it was
indeed an external factor causing retinal damage and loss of vision.
The doctors offered several suggestions, but each option would take at least a month.
As such, they filed the paperwork for Isaac to be admitted, and he lay down in bed after taking his medicine.
After running around for a long while, he was definitely exhausted.
Stan stood guard outside alone.
The hospital was quiet in the night when a trio of men in white coats approached.
Stan rose from the bench and asked, "Who are you people?"
"We're doctors. We're doing rounds at the moment," one of them replied.
Since they were pushing a cart of equipment, Stan opened the door. "Come in."
However, the instant he stepped inside, one of the men grabbed him from behind and restrained him while
pressing a scalpel against his neck and threatening, "Don't move, or I'll slit your throat!"
