Chapter 655

Chad was a man of his word, and one week later, the medication found its way into Thaddeus‘ hands.

Thaddeus, heading an important meeting at the Abernathy Group, was on pins and needles the entire time.

No sooner had the meeting ended than he shot up from his seat like a bat out of hell and bolted out the door. The senior executives were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

“What’s gotten into Mr. Abernathy?”

“Ahem, when nature calls, it calls. I would’ve been bursting at the seams if that meeting lasted any longer. Gotta say, Mr. Abernathy’s got some stamina!”

“And one heck of a bladder too!”

Meanwhile, at the K Group, another key board meeting loomed, and Emeric was required to attend.

But the meds Avery had supplied were all used up, and Dr. Bright had been whisked away by the Bright family, leaving Emeric increasingly feeble.

As the effects of the medication wore off, he found himself yawning incessantly, battling a runny nose, dizziness, and he’d even hit the hay without supper the night before.

Worried he wouldn’t wake up in time, he’d rescheduled the meeting for the afternoon. But even a slew of alarms failed to rouse him; it was the calls of Dylan and Evadne that finally did the trick.
