It was clear as day there was a connection.
Could it be that Bainbridge had hurt Gwendolyn?
“Looking to prove yourself, Valor?” Howard asked.
“How so?”
Valor was brimming with anticipation. Could he finally go out and flirt with the ladies?
“I’m giving you a chance to hit the town, Happy Wife style,” Howard said, his expression dark and icy, a chilling intent spreading in his eyes, “Hit the club tonight.”
“What?”
Valor was stunned, his happiness arriving too suddenly.
The Peterson family curse of solitude seemed to be lifting.
“Are you in or not?” Howard pressed.
He turned his head, catching a glimpse of a figure slowly approaching down the hallway, his gaze turning indifferent.
“In. Absolutely. Can I invite a few models?” asked Valor sheepishly. “Am I allowed to use some Happy Wife condoms tonight?”
“The more, the merrier.”
Use it to the hilt, just don’t break it.
“Howard, you can count on me. I’ll show them what a Peterson can do.”
“Good.”
With that, Howard ended the call and turned to face the newcomer.
Sanford sized him
it all an act?”
up,
his gaze finally resting on Howard’s legs, “You’ve recovered? Or was
People found it easier to believe that Howard had been faking it all along, rather than having recovered.
Howard scoffed, “Do you really think my acting is that good? Whether I’m faking or not, the Hamiltons should know best.”
Sanford realized his blunder.
He had been the first on the scene of the accident, with blood everywhere, a sight too gruesome to bear.
“Have you found Enoch?” Sanford guessed. It was the only explanation.
No one else could have healed Howard’s legs.
Howard looked at him mockingly, “Did you come here just to spout nonsense?”
Sanford’s expression cooled. He’d come to check on Gwendolyn,Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
For some reason, she was always on his mind. He’d heard about last night’s incident, not expecting that Lifespan Locust Pharmacy had been reported by her, which led to Waldo’s retaliation.
“You’d do better to uncover the truth than to make rounds in the hospital. Otherwise, interns will get slandered on social media for practicing without a license and face hospital suspensions as punishment,” Howard taunted.
“I suspended her to quell the public outcry, to preserve…”

“Sanford, she may be your sacrificial lamb to protect the hospital’s reputation, but she is my wife,” Howard said coldly, “I’ll handle this matter.”
Sanford took a deep breath, suppressing the anger inside him, “If you need help, just say.
it.”
He felt guilty towards Gwendolyn.
Howard, unhesitant, said, “Hold a press conference in the name of Bayridge Hospital.”
“What are you planning?”
Sanford frowned at him.
“To set the record straight, to clear Gwendolyn’s name,” said Howard icily.
Sanford immediately responded, “Impossible. Even if you catch Bill and he confesses to faking his illness, it won’t make a difference. The issue now is that Gwendolyn was caught practicing without a license.”
Unless Gwendolyn had a medical license, it was a dead end with no way out.
“Is this your idea of help?”
Howard said disdainfully, “If you don’t want to help, just say so. I’m not forcing you.”
Sanford was fuming with anger at Howard’s insolence but had to maintain his
composure.
“Fine, I’ll help you.”
A man’s word was his bond.
Dealing with Howard, he always left him in a rage.
