Chapter 196

Warren let out a snort, "With his sweetheart next to him, how could he even think about Mrs. Patterson? Hurry up and come over. Your hubby's acting all weird."

He didn't bother to clarify, just hung up.

Fenton and I stared at each other for a moment before he quickly grabbed his coat.

That snapped me out of it, and I followed him as we dashed out of the office.

All the way there, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety.

I couldn't fathom what Warren meant by Clyde being off.

Aside from going bald and having surgery, what else could be wrong with him?

Could it be facial paralysis due to nerve damage?

Or was it something like Stephen Hawking, where only his head could move, and nothing else?
