The staff hesitated, sizing up Aurelia Shaw, "I’m sorry, Miss, I don’t think you could possibly know the gentleman inside. You have no idea how distinguished his status is."
This was a subtle belittling of her.
Aurelia Shaw wasn’t bothered and seriously replied, "I really do know the gentleman inside. Could you please inform him, or... could you call the gentleman’s special assistant for ?"
The staff hesitated.
Aurelia Shaw showed an anxious expression, her eyes slightly red, with a misty layer at the bottom of her eyes.
Anyone would find it hard to refuse a gaze like that. The man sighed and said, "Alright, please wait here for a mont. I must tell you in advance, I’m only passing on a ssage. If he doesn’t want to see you, you must leave!"
"Alright." Aurelia Shaw nodded.
The man went inside.
A few minutes later, the man ca out again, followed by a tall man.
Not Mason Nightshade.
But Aurelia Shaw didn’t recognize him either.
She was taken aback.
The staff had already brought the person to Aurelia Shaw, "This lady wishes to see the gentleman."
The tall man wore a neat black suit, with narrow brown eyes that squinted sharply as he surveyed Aurelia Shaw, "What business do you have with the gentleman?"
"You..." Aurelia Shaw sensed sothing was amiss, the man’s gaze felt cold and made her sense danger.
It was almost an instinct.
"Sorry, I think I mistook soone." Aurelia Shaw apologized.
She turned and walked straight into the elevator without pause.
As the elevator doors closed, she saw the man squinting his eyes, observing her.
What was going on?
Aurelia Shaw’s heart was pounding intensely in her chest.
What exactly was this dangerous feeling?
The silhouette she saw resembling Mason Nightshade, could it not be Mason Nightshade?
Aurelia Shaw took out her phone and called Gustavo Yates: "Hello, Young Madam."
"Where is Mason Nightshade?"
Gustavo Yates: "Are you looking for the boss? The boss was transferred to a hospital in the Capital City recently. The president doesn’t allow him to go out, but he’s been thinking about you these past few days.
If he knows you’re calling to inquire about him, he would be overjoyed!
Hold on; I’ll go wake the boss."
"No need." Aurelia Shaw said, "It’s nothing. Don’t disturb him; let him rest for now."
Gustavo Yates responded with a disappointed "Oh" and thought to himself, Young Madam may not want him to say anything, but how could he keep such a plot secret! When the boss wakes up, he must be told!
The phone went silent for a long ti, and Gustavo Yates thought the call had ended. He looked and saw the call was still ongoing.
"Young Madam?"
"Mason Nightshade, he..." Aurelia Shaw hesitated, "How is his injury?"
"The boss’s situation isn’t optimistic; the wound has reopened, and after getting caught in the rain searching for you, it got infected and inflad.
These days, his body is extrely weak; even getting out of bed is very difficult."
Aurelia Shaw tightened her red lips, "Don’t tell him I called."
After saying this, Aurelia Shaw hung up.
If Mason Nightshade knew she called, he would definitely co looking for her regardless of his condition. She didn’t want to see him harm his health like this.
Mason Nightshade is in the Capital City, and he’s been staying there all this ti.
So... who was the person inside that looked so much like Mason Nightshade?
...
anwhile, in the Capital City, at the Military District Hospital.
