The Woman From Hell

I suddenly thought of Tory while I was waiting. Only then did I realize that he was absent this whole time. I asked Solomon worriedly, "Do you know where Tory is, Mr. Cook?" "It's a little difficult for Tory to be out and about."

Solomon furrowed his brows slightly. "He has just taken over the Zimmerson family. If Jordan finds out that he's working with President Grant, he might have another powerful enemy to deal with, which might be an inconvenience to him."

"That's true."

Tory's help had been more than enough. It would be too much if I were to ask for anything more.

Two hours later, Theo was still in the emergency room, and I was about to lose my mind from the wait.

At four a m., seeing that the emergency room's doors were still shut, I became anxious and paced back and forth in front of the room.

Solomon was afraid that I might just rush into the emergency room and was watching me with a nervous look on his face. It was only when he saw that I was not planning to do so that he relaxed significantly. When Tory arrived and saw the anxious looks on our faces, he asked in a deadpan manner, "Are you guys planning to scare him to death with your ghastly expressions when he comes out?"

I had long gotten used to his sharp tongue,

so I just ignored him. Moreover, I was not in the mood to be bothered by him.

Solomon, on the other hand, spoke up instead, "Mr. Zimmerson, President Grant is still in deep waters, so please don't joke about that."

"Alright, I can take over from here. Both of you should take a rest."

Tory pursed his lips. "Don't worry, I won't let him die so easily."

He looked at me and continued speaking,* You've always been an ugly woman, but you'll look worse if you pull an all-nighter. If Theo dies in there, it'll be difficult for you to remarry with that face of yours." I pursed my lips, still ignoring him.
