Chapter 393: Tougher on yourself
-How is Dylan’s health? Nothing serious?
Vincent also greeted Dylan warmly.
Matthew had a standard polite smile on his face and responded in a subdued manner.
The man’s injuries are quite serious and there is still a large part of him that has not yet recovered. I had insisted on picking him up at the airport, but the doctors at the hospital refused to do so. I had no choice but to let them come, and he asked me to take him to apologise to you.
-Dylan is being too polite, we’re all family, where’s the courtesy in that?
Vincent spoke with a particularly generous look.
-It’s good that Mr. Vicente understands. The hotel is booked, this way, please.
-Speaking of which, I’m very concerned about Dylan’s health. Good thing it’s early, so why don’t we go to the hospital before we go back to the hotel to rest.
-He will be glad to know that you care for him in this way.
Matthew said decently.
-Everything is family, as it should be.
Mateo just smiled at Vincent’s occasional references to family and did not respond.
After all, her husband was not going to marry Miss Brisa, so it was better not to call him family.
-After you.
Whatever he said, Mateo seemed particularly respectful on the outside.
On his return, Vicente was accompanied by the Leoz family housekeeper and a younger assistant. The fact that Vicente brought him along shows that the young man is very capable.
The housekeeper’s surname is also Leoz, as is the case with families who are proud of their heritage.
Despite the changing times, they are still used to making a clear distinction between master and servant.
The butler’s surname is Leoz and his name is Carlos.
Carlos Leoz.
Along the way, Mateo acted as a guide for the other three people in the car, introducing them to the sights and sounds of the journey.
After an hour and a half, the car arrived at the hospital.
It was a private hospital, with a very nice atmosphere and good service. Of course, it is also expensive.
Vicente walks in front, Mateo at his side, followed by Carlos the butler and Sergio Sarmiento, his assistant.
-The hospital is a nice place, it will be good for Dylan’s recovery.
-This is the best private hospital in Pacifica.
Mateo said as he followed.
He was an old fox who had been through a lot, and when he heard that his beloved granddaughter was missing and probably unwell, he did not ask for information at the drop of a hat in Pacifica City, let alone use his contacts to find her, but came quietly to see Dylan at the hospital.
-Mr. Vincent, here it is, right here.
Mateo said, stepping forward and raising his hand to knock on the door.
-Sir, Mr. Vincent is here to visit you.
-Enter.
Dylan’s fragile voice came from the living room, low and slow, breathless.
Mateo pushed open the door and stood waiting to let Vicente in.
-Mr. Vincent.
Dylan made a move to sit up, his abdomen still bandaged and his face pale with misery. Even his lips were dry and appeared to be on the verge of drying up, as gaunt as could be.
Seeing him in this state, Vincent dismissed the suspicion in his mind and was quick to press Dylan, who was about to sit down, back into his seat with a mock reproach.
-You’re still hurt, don’t be so polite.
Vincent said, discreetly observing Dylan.
Looking at his haggard appearance, it was obvious that he was really badly hurt. Not to the point of being out of breath, but it was impossible to sit down in the short term. He had said on the phone that there was nothing he could do to save Brisa, and it seemed to be true.
-I’m sorry you had to come all this way yourself.
Dylan’s attitude towards Vincent remained respectful, as before.
This, on the other hand, allayed Vincent’s suspicions.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
It seemed that every time Brisa had called him to complain, it had been because his granddaughter had been too arrogant and had annoyed Dylan, so he had treated her like that, which was justifiable.
-You were hurt, I should have come back to see you. Not to mention that Brisa girl, eh…
-I’m very sorry Mr. Vincent, I didn’t think things would get this bad either. If I had known Brisa would be in danger, I wouldn’t have been so lenient with her in the first place. I thought she was just being capricious and ran off on purpose to scare me, I didn’t think…. I’m so sorry.
-It’s not your fault, I know my own granddaughter, Brisa is spoilt from a young age, she’s arrogant and unpredictable, it’s inevitable that she’s in danger. Take care of your injuries and I’ll get Brisa out of there.
-I’ll have to bother you.
Vincent sat in Dylan’s hospital room for a while longer before leaving.
Mateo wanted to put the man in the car, but Vicente told him to go back, arguing that Dylan had some difficulty moving around the room on his own.
At the end, Mateo stood back with a respectful look on his face.
Vincent had business to attend to, so naturally the car and driver were his.
Before getting into the car, he told his assistant Sergio to go to the hospital to find out if Dylan was really that badly hurt, and that Sergio was a good man and Vicente trusted him.
Sergio soon returned and passed on the doctor’s words to Vicente.
-Mr Dylan appears to be badly injured.
Vincent said nothing and ordered the driver to go to the hotel.
Nursing.
-Mr. Vicente has sent someone to ask for you, sir.
Matthew looked at Dylan with an expression of admiration that said, “The man knew what was going on.
-With Vincent’s astuteness, it is not enough to see. Now, after a lot of checking, he should be convinced.
Their preparation had not been in vain.
Mateo wrinkled his brow, looked at Dylan with some hesitation and said.
-Did he really… took it upon himself to open a wound that had already healed?
-How can you try to fool that old fox Vincent without being realistic.
As expected, sir.
Tough on others, tougher on himself.
-Tell Dorencia to reinforce the guard and make sure Vanessa and the girls are protected.
-Don’t worry, I’ve already informed myself.
Vicente’s arrival in Ciudad Pacifica had its advantages and disadvantages.
Dylan’s biggest worry was that he would secretly send for Vanessa, who was not yet pregnant. But before long, that might not be the case…
What’s more, Brisa must have spoken badly to Vicente.
A wily old fox like Vincent, who has to think outside the box for everything, would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of it.
In any case, he had to be careful and cautious just in case.
It was her child inside Vanessa’s womb.
He will not let Vincent have the opportunity to harm his lover and his son!
-Someone keep an eye on Vicente and tell me if there is any movement. Also, those pretending to be looking for Brisa should not be retired, let them act like it.
