Ian raised an eyebrow, feeling puzzled.

Ben glanced over.

“What are you doing here?” Ian had never liked Stanley, so his tone was anything but friendly.

“Wow, hasn’t it been ages since we hung out? I almost started missing you.” Stanley forced a grin, masking his disgust as he played nice. “You heading in to see the patient? C’mon, let’s go together.”

Ian’s lip curled in faint annoyance,

‘Couldn’t even bother to come up with a halfway decent excuse?‘ Ian thought to himself.

Stanley pressed, “Why are you just standing there? Let’s move.”

“I’m here to see the patient, not to hang out with you.” Ian shoved Stanley’s hand off his shoulder with extra force. “Just get lost.”

“Not letting me in?” Stanley asked.

Ian’s answer was crystal clear. “Nope.”

Stanley pressed, “You sure about that?”

Ian didn’t even blink. “Positive.”

Stanley clenched his jaw.

‘If Ian goes in first, he’ll definitely find a way to make Ben keep his mouth shut–threats, intimidation, even bribery. By then, even if I throw Jeffrey’s name around, Ben won’t dare spill a single word,‘ Stanley thought, anxiety gnawing at him.

“Name your price,” Stanley said, dropping the act. He knew there was no point in trying to trick Ian, so he just laid it out. “What do I have to do to get in there with you?”

Ian didn’t even blink. “Call me Dad.”

Stanley was so mad he nearly exploded. “Are you freaking serious?!”

‘Where’s my damn knife when I need it?‘ Stanley fumed, grinding his teeth.

“Whatever, forget it,” Ian said without even looking back. He turned to his bodyguards. “Keep Mr. Garcia out- make sure he doesn’t get in and disturb the patient.”

“Wait a second,” Stanley called out.
