At eight o’clock in the evening, the Jin City was a busy place with heavy traffic.
There seemed to be a traffic accident in the front. Ryder’s car had been waiting for half an hour and still could not pass the traffic light.
“Boss, should we continue to wait?”
Kenny looked at his watch. Ryder would have a transnational video conference at nine o’clock in the evening. He was supposed to read the report and be prepared at this time in the Langdon Group building. Unexpectedly, Norton called him and asked him to go to the hospital.
The reason was that Ryder’s wife fainted.
She just fainted, and it was not a big deal. Ryder could visit her after the video conference.
President Langdon had never had a good relationship with his wife. The two of them didn’t interfere with each other. Nor did they talk to or communicate with each other. In the past, when Ryder heard such news, he only nodded to show that he knew. Who would have thought that this time he even took the initiative to visit?
Kenny turned around and looked at his boss silently. He guessed that his boss would go there not for his wife but for Norton.
The rumors of Ryder and Norton having a gay relationship seemed to have never stopped.
“Why are you looking at me? Wait patiently.”
Ryder put down the document in his hand and rubbed his forehead with his hand. He seemed to have been working for a whole night and had not taken a rest yet.
The Langdon family had a thriving family business and Ryder had his own company, so he could not slack off at all. Once he made a mistake in a big project, he would fall into the abyss and never get out again.
“Boss, the video conference tonight…”
The assistant, Kenny, asked for his instructions. For the first time, Kenny could not tell what his boss was thinking.
“Cancel.”
There was not enough time. Today’s video conference was postponed until further notice.
The road was clear ahead. The driver turned the steering wheel and headed straight to the back door of Norton’s hospital.
Ryder got out of the car and adjusted his suit. He was going to the ward to see the woman again.
Hmph, she deliberately pretended to faint and chose Norton’s hospital to send him news. He was wondering why this woman suddenly wanted to go back to her parents’ house for a few days. It turned out that she was playing hard-to-get.
Very well, he would accompany her.
Ryder smirked coldly.
“Ryder, I called you countless times, but you didn’t show up. What brought you here today? Is there something wrong with your health?”
When Norton saw Ryder, he was furious.
Recently, Norton had been doing research in the laboratory. At the crucial moment when he was about to succeed, his grandfather, Mr. Langdon, came to him and almost confiscated his equipment. Fortunately, he hid the test tube and kept his results.
Later, Norton found out that Ryder told his grandfather that the hospital was going to close down and could not support so many employees, so Ryder planned to go back to inherit the family business.
Pah! He, Norton, was an ambitious person. His family business was not as important as the research. And it had been operating just fine without him!
However, Norton was beaten up by his grandfather after some remarks, and he got a big bump on his head.
Norton went to the Langdon Group building to come for Ryder. Before he entered the building, he was thrown out by the security guard for harassment!
This was done by a friend? This was done by a human?
Every time Norton thought of it, he was annoyed.
“What kind of logic is this? Is this what your laboratory studies, such as magic Indian oil…”
Norton called Ryder Mr. Joe, and Ryder wasn’t polite to Norton either. As long as the two of them were together, they would inevitably fight.
“Magic Indian oil? What the hell!”
Ryder dared to insult him? He studied research and helped people who were tortured by illness. How could his work be compared with a false advertisement?
Well, Norton decided to ignore Ryder’s words because he knew that Ryder was a bitchy and mean man who didn’t talk much.
“Are you here to see me, or to see that woman?”
Norton said this with a sour tone.
He called Ryder but Ryder just didn’t show up. However, when Ryder found out that the woman had been sent to the hospital, he immediately rushed over. That was the difference.
Alas, Ryder said he didn’t like the woman, which was a lie. In his heart, he liked her to the core!
“Why are you looking for me?”
Ryder asked with a frown.
“Why am I looking for you? Isn’t it…”
Speaking of this, Norton was about to give a long speech, but was suddenly interrupted by Ryder, “How is that woman?”
Norton was speechless.
After calming himself down, Norton said, “I heard that she brought Nicole to Shawn at night and suddenly fainted in the White Group building.”
At present, it was mainly about anemia and hypoglycemia, but Norton detected the presence of medicine in Marina’s blood.
He looked at Ryder with a complicated expression and said, “The antidepressants are not omnipotent. They have great side effects. Are you sure you want her to continue taking it?”
The drug treatment was not advocated, and it was the last choice. Marina was now emotionally stable, and she did not need the medication to help her.
Norton did not understand what Ryder was thinking about. If this medicine was taken for a long time, it would cause poisoning. Then Marina’s body would experience organ failure, and even immortals would not be able to save her.
Marina was now having mild symptoms, but there was drug composition in her blood.
“Don’t worry about it. I have my own plans.”
Ryder was very confused. He was avoiding this problem, but he didn’t know why he did this. Hadn’t he already made a plan for Marina?
Now, he hesitated. So when Marina proposed to go back to her family for a few days, he immediately agreed. He would rather be scolded by his grandfather and bring Nicole here. But he did not take the medicine. What was he doing?
For the first time, Ryder felt confused. Things did not go as he planned. He just did it spontaneously.
“It is ok if you’ve thought it through.”
Norton did not say much. This good friend of his never listened to anyone’s opinions. He was stubborn. Sometimes, if someone said a few more words, it would arouse his suspicions, which might be counteractive.
This was the first time Norton had seen such a childish and stubborn man.
“I’m here to see Nicole.”
Ryder found a reason for himself. His daughter rarely left the Langdon family. He didn’t know if she had adapted to the new environment. If Nicole didn’t like to stay in the White family, he was going to take her back tonight.
“Go take a look. By the way, that woman still needs to be observed for a night. If there are no other problems, she can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning.”
Before Norton could finish, Ryder strode away, leaving his back to Norton.
Wait a minute, Ryder had settled the woman’s things, how about Norton’s?
This damn Ryder, he didn’t care about his best friend at all! Norton wanted to break off all relations with Ryder!
“If you break up with me, I’ll take back the money.”
As if Ryder heard Norton’s thoughts, he suddenly spoke before he went into the elevator.
Norton was speechless.
