Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Isn’t It Good to be Alive?_1 Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Isn’t It Good to be Alive?_1 Lyke Zhekova was quite satisfied.
On the other hand, Timothy Silverstone, instead of calling his own assistant, went directly to Nathan Spencer’s office.
Today happened to be the day when Nathan Spencer ca to the hospital to work.
“Uncle Nathan.” Timothy Silverstone knocked on the door and entered, completely ignoring the usual respectful behavior towards a boss.
He sat down directly across from Nathan Spencer’s desk.
Nathan Spencer: “…”
“Lyke Zhekova just called,” said Timothy Silverstone.
“Huh?” Nathan finally looked up and raised an eyebrow.
...
Why would Lyke Zhekova need to look for Timothy Silverstone instead of him?
“He even has a girlfriend!” Timothy Silverstone exclaid excitedly.
“Clack!”
Nathan was so shocked that he nearly dropped his pen.
“G-Girlfriend?” Nathan exclaid.
“Oops!
I misspoke; I missed a word, a female friend.” Timothy Silverstone corrected himself.
But Nathan was still decidedly shocked.
After a while, he managed to say, “You can drop the word in the middle.”
A woman, a relationship of opposite sex, appearing next to Lyke Zhekova, was pretty much the sa as having a girlfriend.
After all, a friend of the opposite sex?
Before this, there was no such thing in Lyke Zhekova’s life.
“I see your point,” Timothy Silverstone nodded in agreent.
“But how do you know about this?” Nathan stopped his work and began to gossip with Timothy Silverstone.
Nathan, by nature, wasn’t very talkative.
When chatting on Whatsapp, he would use punctuation instead of words if possible.
When speaking, if one word could suffice, he wouldn’t use two.
This was related to Nathan’s past experiences.
After eting and marrying his wife Millie Noelle, his communication skills improved a great deal under her influence.
Now he talks more; he’s still not a big talker, but he’s a lot less mute than he used to be.
“Lyke Zhekova called earlier saying his friend was injured.” Timothy Silverstone said, “Guess what happened next?”
Nathan Spencer: “…”
No, I don’t want to guess.
“Turns out, it was just a bruise, which would be naturally healed in a few days.” Timothy Silverstone said, “I have multiple surgeries to perform today, how can I possibly spare any ti?”
“Then that guy deliberately let it slip to let know his friend is a girl.” Timothy Silverstone said.
“You know, Uncle Nathan, Lyke Zhekova is such an Old Fox, a genuine Old Fox.
Both cunning and old.” Timothy Silverstone added.
Nathan Spencer: “…”
Dude, keep your thoughts to yourself and don’t let Lyke Zhekova hear you.
“If he didn’t want to know, would he have let it slip?
Obviously, it was intentional; he even feigned an innocent look, as if he was subtly showing off to .” Timothy Silverstone scoffed, “He seriously thinks I’m an idiot and can’t figure this out.”
Nathan Spencer: “…”
If you are able to figure it out, then Lyke Zhekova must truly be deliberate.
“So, his female! friend.” Clearly it wasn’t, but if you add another word in the middle, Nathan felt it would be a bit redundant, so he simply omitted it.
“How old is she?
Are you sure it is a female ! friend, not a young one or an elder?” Nathan asked.
“I’m not sure since I didn’t see her with my own eyes, right?” Timothy Silverstone said, “However, my intuition says it should be a young girl.
If you an a young relative, it’s possible.
After all, Lyke Zhekova is on the uncle-level for us.”
Nathan Spencer: “…”
You are definitely going to be killed by Lyke Zhekova.
He hasn’t killed you yet, probably because he thinks you’re a doctor and sowhat useful.
“That’s why I ca to you, didn’t I?” Timothy Silverstone added.
Nathan raised an eyebrow: “Why are you looking for ?”
“Can you lend Henry Hertz?
Even if Lyke Zhekova’s friend is not seriously injured, Lyke Zhekova is going to make give her so dicine.” Timothy Silverstone said.
“I have surgeries to perform, how can I spare ti?
Let Henry Hertz deliver the dicine.” Timothy Silverstone suggested, “I don’t trust others to handle this.
No one else can respond as quickly as Henry Hertz.”
“By letting Henry Hertz deliver the dicine and take a look at Lyke Zhekova’s friend, he can report back to us, so we all can know, right?” Timothy Silverstone grinned cheekily.
“Let’s see what type of girl she is, roughly what age, what she looks like.
If possible, Henry Hertz can even inquire about how they t.” Timothy Silverstone suggested.
Nathan Spencer: “…”
“Where is your assistant?” Nathan asked.
“Isn’t he busy preparing for my next surgery?
You can’t let him drop hospital matters, can you?” Timothy Silverstone replied.
After all, Henry Hertz is attached to Nathan; neither of them technically works at the hospital.
Nathan only takes two days per week at the hospital.
The rest of the ti, he’s at Skyrise headquarters.
Henry Hertz, being Nathan’s assistant, was not stationed at the hospital either.
Wherever Nathan went, Henry Hertz would follow.
Therefore, sending Henry Hertz would not interrupt the work at the hospital at all.
“You make a good point.” Nathan nodded in agreent, and then called for Henry Hertz.
“You explain the rest,” Nathan told Timothy Silverstone.
Timothy Silverstone repeated the events to Henry Hertz.
Henry rubbed his hands excitedly: “Wow, Fourth Uncle Lyke has a girl…friend?”
Even his pause was identical to Nathan’s.
Timothy thought to himself, what a well-synced pair of colleagues.
“According to our speculation and Lyke Zhekova’s responses, that seems to be the case.” Timothy Silverstone nodded, “However, we need you to confirm.”
“So, you will be delivering dicine as an excuse to go there, and try to observe as much as you can.” Timothy Silverstone suggested, “If you can get more information directly, that would be even better.”
Henry Hertz: “…”
Isn’t it good to be alive?
“I’ll try my best,” said Henry Hertz reluctantly.
He was also very curious to see what Lyke Zhekova’s girlfriend looked like.
Everyone tacitly considered Peggy Lewis as Lyke Zhekova’s girlfriend.
So, Henry Hertz went to collect the dicine according to the list Timothy Silverstone had provided.
***
At this ti, Lyke Zhekova had already parked his car in his garage.
Then he took Peggy Lewis back to his house.
Peggy Lewis was still a little dazed.
She wondered why she got to enter Lyke Zhekova’s house so quickly?
This…
this felt too surreal.
Even as she stepped inside, following Lyke Zhekova, she still felt like she was dreaming.
Lyke Zhekova was living on the top floor.
It was a whole floor condo.
The entire floor belonged to him.
Lyke Zhekova opened the door and invited Peggy Lewis in.
As soon as Peggy walked in, she felt surprisingly open and spacious.
The mont she entered, her eyes were t with an extra-spacious living room.
The two walls of the living room were large floor-to-ceiling windows with abundant light coming in.
Because the condo was exceptionally high, and Lyke Zhekova lived on the top floor, there were no obstructions to the outside view.
