chapter 1369
"I need to run an errand. I will be away for two days. I'm flying at two later. I will be back by tomorrow night."
"What do you have to do? I can send someone to get it done, " Zayn insisted, still holding her and. "I don't want to leave you."
"Dr. Feroma just passed and I need to check if everything was properly taken care of. I need to see to this myself. This is the last thing I can do for him."
"Alright…" Zayn finally let go of her.
"I will be back in no time. You take care, " she said gently.
Zayn nodded lightly.
"I'll go home first to check on the kids, " she added, looking at her watch. It was already eight in the morning. She would need to hurry. She held Zayn's hand and bent down. "I'll see you tomorrow night."
"Sure." Zayn did not want her to leave, but he knew she had to. "Bring more men with you. I'll make sure the kids are fine."
"Thanks." Carla took another reluctant look at him before leaving.
"We'll make a move first, Mr. Giblo, " Freda said with a bow.
Zayn looked grave watching them leave.
"The wounds look fine. I'll get the paperwork ready to check you out, " Naya said.
"Great, " Benard replied.
He closed the door after the doctors left and poured Zayn some water.
"Call Hapilia and Sam. Make sure they don't tell Carla anything, " Zayn reminded.
Benard looked at him in bewilderment. "Do you think she will ask them?"
"I think so. We need to take preemptive steps, " Zayn said solemnly with his gaze low.
"I'll do it right away." Benard went out to make a call. After about ten minutes, he entered the room again. "It's all done, Mr. Giblo."
"They are trustworthy people. They won't betray us. I'm just afraid they will give in to Carla's entreat or accidentally say something wrong. Did you make it clear to them?"
"Yes, I did. I told them to hurry her home after she paid her respects."
"Good, " Zayn said weakly. He sat back down to rest, gradually closing his eyes into a slumber.
Benard pulled his blanket over him and stood watch beside him. He was worried about Zayn.
Outside the hospital, Freda had been making a few calls. "Ms. Lierger, as you expected, I can't get through to Hapilia. It keeps saying she's on another call. Do you think she's been over the phone with Benard?" Freda asked.
"Hapilia and Sam don't have a lot of friends. They don't know anyone else other than us, " Carla noted seriously, "It will be too coincidental. Her phone has been busy ever since we came out of the hospital."
"Does this mean Mr. Giblo is really hiding something from us?" Freda was worried sick.
Carla fell into silence, a stoic expression hanging on her face.
Rogan's car pulled up in front of the hospital and the two women were about to get in when a silver Maybach drove over. The window on the backseat rolled down to a beautiful face. "Do you have a few minutes to spare, Ms. Lierger? It won't take long."
Carla looked at her watch and went into her car with Freda.
Rogan's car followed closely behind.
The two cars drove toward Rokan Hill and Nella spoke first. "Is Mr. Giblo awake?"
"Yes, he is. You should go check on him if you're worried, " Carla said briefly.
"I will drop by later, but I'd like a word with you before I see him. I'll send you home, so I won't delay you. I hope you don't mind just having short chitchat with a friend."
"What is it you want to talk about?" Carla went straight to the point.
