Chapter 623

Simon gripped his phone so hard his knuckles turned white, watching helplessly as Ryan's car pulled away from the townhouse and disappeared into the night.

Whenever he tailed Ryan, he kept his distance-sometimes so far he needed binoculars. He couldn't risk being caught. Ryan wasn't easy to fool anymore; these days, he'd drive around in circles, making it nearly impossible for anyone to follow him.

With a frustrated sigh, Simon tossed the binoculars aside. His eyes stayed fixed on the house swallowed by darkness, a cold glint flickering in them. Slowly, a sly smile crept onto his lips.

It was nearly three in the morning when Ryan's phone rang. He was still hunched over his desk, buried in work, not expecting a call from Simon-let alone from the hospital.

He didn't want to see him. He never liked Simon, and tonight, he was in no mood.
