A short while after Waylon left the hospital, Emmeline and Abel came out of Janie’s room.
Benjamin was not there, so Yvonne saw them off.
Emmeline hugged Abel’s arm and waited for the elevator, and Luca and the bodyguards stood two feet away.
The elevator doors opened, and a man and a woman stepped out.
The man was in his forties, and he was balding.
Emmeline immediately recognized him as Mr. Faughn from Adelmar Studios.
The woman next to him was slender and petite. She wore a mask that covered the lower half of her face, but her eyes were adorned with heavy makeup, and she looked enchanting.
She was holding a bouquet in her hands. Emmeline guessed that she was there to visit a patient.
However, Emmeline furrowed her brows. The woman’s eyes reminded her of something, but the garishness of her makeup did not ring any bells.
“It’s you, Ms. Louise!” Mr. Faughn said.
When Emmeline was working in the studios as a stunt double, he knew that she was extraordinary.
Not only did Benjamin protect her, Adrien Ryker of the Ryker family seemed to be very fond of her too.
Later, he found out that the woman’s husband was Abel Ryker of Ryker Group, and they had a legendary wedding ceremony not too long ago.
Abel was standing right in front of him now. Mr. Faughn realized that he was an imposing figure.
He quickly bowed at Abel and said, “Greetings, Mr. Abel.”
“Mm.” Abel nodded.
He did not recognize who Mr. Faughn was.
Emmeline recognized him. “Long time no see, Mr. Faughn.”
“Long time no see. I’m here to visit Ms. Eastwood,” Mr. Faughn said.
“I was just visiting Janie earlier,” Emmeline said. “Her room is over there.”
“Mm, thanks!” Mr. Faughn nodded.
The woman in the mask nodded slightly and walked past Emmeline.
Emmeline and Abel went into the elevator, while Mr. Faughn and the woman went into Janie’s room.
After exchanging greetings, Mr. Faughn introduced the woman to Janie.
“This is Ms. Erin Anderson. You recommended a plastic surgeon to her back then.”
“I see,” Janie said with a smile. “I remember that your face was injured. Is it better now?”
“Yes, she underwent reconstructive surgery at the clinic you recommended,” Mr. Faughn replied.
“It hasn’t been too long, and my face is still swollen,” Erin said. “That’s why I can’t take off my mask. I hope you can understand my situation, Ms. Eastwood.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Janie said. “You should be completely fine in three weeks. The doctors there are very skilled.”
“That’s why I’m here to thank you,” Erin said.
“Don’t mention it.” Janie smiled. “You don’t have to be so polite, too. Mr. Faughn is here.”
“When you’re feeling better, Ms. Eastwood, I’ll treat you to dinner,” Mr. Faughn said to Janie.
“Sounds like a good idea!” Erin said excitedly. “You must come, Ms. Eastwood!”
Janie smiled but narrowed her gaze.
Looks like Mr. Faughn and this woman are more than friends!
But he has a wife and children though?
I heard that his wife had gone to the media because she caught him in bed with a rookie celebrity.
Of course, Janie was not too caught up in that.
Mr. Faughn and Erin lingered in the room for several minutes before leaving.
Once again, Mr. Faughn mentioned treating Janie to dinner once she was discharged.
Janie agreed to it.
In the meantime, Benjamin gave a call to the previous owner of the Imperial Palace.
“The Wonder Doctor will meet you at ten o’clock at Nimbus Hotel.”
“Nimbus Hotel? That’s fine, I guess,” Adam said.
“Do you know what the Wonder Doctor charges for his services?” Benjamin asked.
“I’ve heard it starts at nine digits,” Adam said.
“Mm. That’s right.” Benjamin nodded.
“How much is he asking for this time?”
