From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 430

“Laurinda? Why are you calling so late?”

“I’m here. What floor is Adolphus on?”

The moment Egan heard Laurinda’s voice, he jolted awake. He pushed himself up from the sofa, glanced at Adolphus who was still asleep, and quietly slipped out of the hospital room.

“Laurinda, Adolphus is on the seventeenth floor. Where are you? I’ll come find you.”

“We’re by the elevators. We’ll be up in a second.”

Egan was honestly shocked. He’d checked all the recent flights and the soonest Laurinda could have arrived was tomorrow afternoon. He had no idea how she managed to get here so quickly. For a second, he wondered if she had some kind of special access to international flights.

While he was still trying to figure it out, the elevator chimed. Laurinda stepped out, flanked by six men, her presence sharp and confident.

“Laurinda,” Egan called, hurrying over to her.

“How’s Adolphus?”

She didn’t care about anything else. Her whole mind was wrapped up in worry for him.

“After you told him not to leave, he’s been doing his best to cooperate with the doctors. But honestly, it hasn’t helped much. He barely ate anything today and he’s been really out of it.”

Laurinda glanced back at the three neurologists she’d brought with her. Their brows were drawn tight, and she could guess Adolphus’s situation wasn’t looking good.

“Is there anything I should do?”

Her voice was tight, her throat dry. She wished she’d reached out to Egan sooner to check on Adolphus.

“Let’s go see him first. It’d help if we could get his medical records and speak to his main doctor. That way we can get up to speed quickly.”

“I’ll take care of it. The attending doctor’s resting in his office.”
