From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace novel Chapter 105

Adolphus noticed the person lying inside. This was the first time their infirmary had ever had a patient who needed an IV.

“That’s Harden. He fainted during class, so his homeroom teacher brought him here. It’s just low blood sugar. A glucose drip should fix him up.”

Foley was a med school grad, so this kind of thing was no big deal for him. He caught the look on Laurinda’s face, a weird mix of surprise and concern, and asked, “Laurinda, is something wrong?”

“No, just… surprised. I’m not sure what he’s doing at our school.”

She couldn’t figure out what Finn was planning. Laurinda glanced toward the infusion room again. She remembered Bonnie mentioning that Finn had brought Harden to the hospital twice, but she just couldn’t see what Finn was after.

Adolphus saw the way Laurinda’s brow furrowed and picked up on her mood. “Is he from the Gates family? Have they been bothering you?”

“Yeah, he’s Finn’s illegitimate son. I don’t think him showing up here is normal. But let’s just wait and see what he does.”

Laurinda didn’t feel rushed. Finn was a big player, not someone you could take down without a plan. Especially now, with the Gates Group partnering with Frostfrod, she couldn’t afford to make a wrong move.

Adolphus honestly hadn’t known Finn had an illegitimate son. He looked over at Foley, who shrank a little under the scrutiny. That was a slip-up in his research.

“I… I’ll look into it again,” Foley said.

Adolphus picked up Laurinda’s backpack and led her into the break room. Laurinda took off her jacket and dropped onto the couch.

Adolphus took her jacket, hung it up, and grabbed a blanket from the cabinet, draping it over her. He poured her a glass of water and gave it to her, then glanced at her as she leaned back, looking distracted.

“Do you want to get some rest?” he asked gently.
