Chris learned from Roy that Luke’s mental condition was unstable. The local hospital’s psychologists couldn’t get anywhere near him, so Nina had found a top expert in the industry.
Even if Roy hadn’t mentioned it, Chris still knew about Frederick. When he was still a student, he had attended Frederick’s lectures. Speaking of which, Frederick was only a few years older than Chris but had already reached the top of the industry. Such talent was truly rare.
“Luke again…” Jessica took the tiramisu Chris handed her and took a bite. The sweet and bitter taste was captivating, and Jessica’s mood improved considerably.
“I bought a lot. I’ll share some with Shannon and the others later; you won’t be able to finish so much.” Jessica glanced at him.
“Didn’t you buy it just for me?”
Chris smiled and wiped a bit of cake crumb off the corner of Jessica’s lips. “Alright, it’s just for you. Let’s keep it all for you and not give them any. But you’re going to be upset if you put on weight again.”
“I don’t care.”
“Even if Luke recovers, he’ll be sent behind bars by Roy. I keep getting the feeling that Luke is putting on an act,” said Jessica.
Chris shook his head. “Not entirely.”
He loaded Luke’s physical data from another hospital through the hospital system. He hadn’t seen the scene but had only heard from Roy that Luke’s hand and foot tendons had been severed, and he nearly died from excessive blood loss. His lower body was also disabled. Such injuries could indeed cause mental confusion, and the sensory disorder caused by pain could lead to psychological problems. To put it simply, he was terrified, and that can cause mental problems.
Unexpectedly, Marcy looked delicate, and Chris had thought she was just Luke’s mistress, but she could actually be so ruthless. Roy’s men were still guarding the hospital.
“Frederick would know right away if Luke was faking the illness or not. His ability is unmatched in the industry. I didn’t expect Nina to know him.”
Jessica said, “Nina’s position naturally means she knows elites from all industries. Psychological therapy is also very important in the entertainment industry. After all, online harassment can cause psychological illness. It’s better to be prepared.”
Nina personally picking up Frederick made the trending search, as expected. Frederick said there was really no need for that, and he didn’t want to cause a sensation every time he returned. With the way he was dressed and the fact that he wasn’t someone from the entertainment industry, there was no way that the paparazzi would think he was someone from the medical industry, so his identity wouldn’t be uncovered any time soon.
“I’ll take you straight to the hospital. You can head back with me in the afternoon. In the evening, I’ll host a welcome party for you, and the hotel is booked. It’s the same place, the Million.”
Every time Frederick came back, Nina arranged all his plans. That included food, lodging, transportation, and if necessary, even two concert tickets to help him relax.
Frederick said again, “There really is no need.”
“This time it’s a private trip. Tonight…” Nina finally looked up from her phone. “I’ll introduce you to my friends. You handle Luke, and my brother will definitely want to thank you. Don’t turn us down.”
Frederick nodded. “Alright, I’ll go. Just leave your driver with me afterwards.”
Inside the hospital, as soon as they approached, they heard shouting and things smashing. Frederick’s steps paused slightly; he had already changed into his doctor’s overalls in the car. There was a silent tension in the air. From the positioning of the groups around, Frederick could already tell the problem.
“Is the police at the entrance? And the members of the Hall family opposite?” asked Frederick.
Nina glanced over, still wearing a hat. “Yes, Jack, my brother’s subordinate, is on guard here. I’ll leave you guys to it. I’ll find a place to wait for you."
