She remembered seeing the two chatting at the neighborhood gate when she
went out to get milk.
At the Thomas Group headquarters, Derek entered the CEO's office. Marcus
leaned back against the chair, eyes closed, document in hand.
As Derek approached him, he noticed a noticeable increase in humidity. Also,
Marcus’ normally stoic face was flushed.
“Mr. Thomas?"
Derek gasped. Marcus was running a fever, perhaps because his wound still had
not healed and his body's ability to operate normally was severely limited.
Upon hearing Derek's voice, Marcus opened his eyes and looked at him.
Derek frantically said, “Mr. Thomas, you have a fever. We have to get you to the
hospital right away.”
Marcus tured his head to examine his injured arm. It had been hurting all
afternoon.
There were a wide variety of medications, both oral and topical, in the cabinet
next to him. Unfortunately, none of them helped alleviate his discomfort. He
groaned in pain when he got up.
By the time they got to the hospital, Marcus’ festering wound looked horrifying.
Even after starting an infusion, his fever persisted.
The medical director shook his head.
Derek asked anxiously, “The medical field has progressed so much in recent
years, right? Is there nothing else we can do to help him?”
“There's nothing else I can do. For now, we have to figure out how to lower his
temperature. We have to be careful, though, because his wound is really severe.”
Derek's hands clenched. He was shaking now. He had never seen Marcus look
so frail before. Whoever did this to him was such a cruel person.
Marcus frowned when he noticed that it had gotten dark outside. He turned to
Derek and instructed, “Call Millie and tell her that I'm on a business trip and won't
go back tonight.”
