Chapter 404: Someone New

After dinner, Justin returned to his penthouse. Aaron, in the Imperial City, was impatient to know what happened when Justin went to the Riverdale estate.

He had been in contact with Noah all along. And the moment he got to know Justin had returned, Aaron made a call.

"There is no word called patience in your dictionary, is there?" Justin commented as he put the cellphone on speaker and started to change clothes.

"If I was not patient, I would have been there at this moment instead of calling you from here," came Aaron’s displeased voice.

"Stop sulking already," Justin commented and explained whatever had happened.

There was a silence on Aaron’s side before he calmly asked about their mother, "Is she alright?"

"Not entirely, but she at least recognised me... as Alex..." Justin replied. "I will arrange some specialists for her soon to start her better treatment."

Aaron hummed and asked, "And that asshole won’t let you see our sister?"

"I have to wait to see what he asks of me in exchange for letting me see her," Justin said. "I’m sure it won’t be anything ordinary."

Both brothers could only be silent for a while, as the game was in Aeldric’s hands at the moment.

Just then, Noah knocked on the door and entered the room. "Mr. Harper, call for you. Mr. Riverdale."

Aaron had heard it as well. "See what he called for."

"You don’t have to tell me that," Justin said and got the cellphone from Noah. He received the call and replied with a simple, "Hum?"
