Howard sighed with a hint of resignation, “Alright. I’ve been laid up in the hospital with a nasty bug, and Bainbridge is getting cockler by the day, slipping up more than ever. Wait till Grandpa’s 70th birthday bash, I’ve got a little ‘present‘ for them.”

He was plotting to give Bainbridge a false sense of security, to get him to sign a bet–the–company deal without a second thought.

Gwendolyn poured him a glass of warm water.

Taking the glass, Howard took a sip and said, “You head home tonight, bring your medical kit over. We’ll have our acupuncture sessions here in the hospital.”

Without further questions, Gwendolyn nodded.

“Go home. The driver’s waiting outside. Be safe out there. It’s late.” said Howard.

“I’ll be off then, goodbye.”
