“Naomi, go and pack some clothes and bring the medicine for me,” Francis ordered his wife.
And so, Naomi went upstairs immediately. After a while, she packed a suitcase of clothes and passed it to Alex after returning. “Mr. Hunter, please take good care of my husband. He is not feeling well.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Tillman. I will definitely take good care of President Tillman.” Alex nodded.
Francis’ cell phone rang at that point. He glanced at it and went to his study room to accept the call.
Naomi immediately took out a medicine bottle and stuffed it into Alex’s hand as soon as Francis left. “Before doing the deed, swap back his bottle so no one will find out the truth.”
Alex nodded and put the bottle in his briefcase.
After a while, Francis came out, and Alex accompanied him to leave the house. However, the former suddenly felt dizzy as he supported himself with the door.
“Hubby, what’s the matter?” Naomi hurried over to support him.
“I’m okay. Have you packed the medicine?”
“Yes, it’s in the briefcase. Remember to take one tablet every day,” Naomi urged.
Francis took the same medicine for months and it was effective. So, he trusted the medicine and never thought it was swapped with other pills. As long as I have the drugs, I will be able to handle the business trip even if I am not feeling well.
When Francis sat in the car, he tried to rest his eyes. Alex asked, “President Tillman, is it just the two of us?”
“Yes, we will go there to gather some intel.” Francis nodded..
Alex had a gleam in his eyes as the plan
was going well. He looked at the resting Francis, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Before they could get onto the highway, Francis’ cell phone rang. Alex felt anxious and nervously eavesdropped on his phone call.
“Hi, Anastasia,” Francis answered the call from his eldest daughter.
“Dad, are you free tonight? I would like to
invite you over to dinner at the Presgrave
Residence tonight.”
“Of course I would love to go!” Francis replied excitedly and tried to get Alex’s attention. “Alex, hey Alex! Stop and return to my house. I won’t go to Haystone today.”
Alex turned gloomy as he stepped on the brakes. Why does Anastasia have to call
Francis now?
“But the project is important-”
“Whatever it is, it is not as important as my future in-law’s invitation to dinner!
Enough talking, go back now!” Francis smiled happily. “We’ll go to Haystone next time.”
So, Alex could only drive back to the city. I have to do it here if I can’t kill him elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Naomi was taken aback when she saw Francis return home. “Francis, why are you here?”
“Miss Tillman invited President Tillman to the family dinner at the Presgrave Residence tonight, so he canceled the business trip,” Alex replied to her.
Naomi looked at Alex and knew that the
plan was not working.
Francis had already changed into a suit in his room and went downstairs. He told
her, “The engagement party is around the corner, so buy me a proper suit for the party
Although Naomi was reluctant to spend money, she still smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll look for it in a shopping mall soon.”
“President Presgrave, shall I take you there?” Alex asked.
“There’s no need. I’ll let Joe take me there; he knows the way. So, you can rest now.”
Hence, Alex could only leave. Then, Naomi said, “Alex. I am going to the shopping mall. Please take me there.”
“Okay, Mrs. Tillman.”
Francis decided to take a nap to feel refreshed for dinner. Before he did that, he felt his chest was getting more painful. He remembered his doctor said that if the sickness was worsening, he could take one more tablet daily, so he took another pill. However, he was clueless that the
medication would only make his condition worse.
In Alex’s car, Naomi growled, “Anastasia is so annoying! Why today of all days?”
“Naomi, we are running out of time; if he takes the tablet on time, he will have a heart attack soon. There’s no time to take him out of this city to kill him in the car.”
“I know. If he is having an attack, I will make sure that he will never be able to wake up. Or else, our plan will fail,” Naomi said calmly.
