His words struck a chord with Derek, who made a conscious decision not to bring up Raven Island again. Instead, he resolved to find another way to aid Mr. Thomas.

Deep in thought, Marcus kept his eyes shut. In recent days, his mind had been occupied with the question of who might have sent the people to injure him. There seemed to be a complicated web of interests at play, and he suspected that the instigator might be someone close to him.

Just outside the door, an incident occurred. A man, wearing a cap, collided with Rhea, who had been waiting.

Rhea’s phone was quickly stowed away as she yelled in anger, “Can’t you see where you’re going?”

The man’s eyes darted into the room where Marcus lay, and he pulled his cap down.

“Sorry,” he mumbled before hurrying off.

Derek’s attention was drawn to the commotion, and he stepped outside to investigate.

“What happened here?” he asked.

Rhea massaged her aching shoulder where the collision had occurred.

“Someone who wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings bumped intoa few seconds ago.”

Someone who wasn’t paying attention? Derek glanced around, but the corridor was vacant, and the person had already vanished.

With a sudden sense of urgency, Derek set off in pursuit, intuition telling him that this individual had been trying to glean information about Marcus’ condition.

However, he was a moment too late. Upon reaching the hospital’s exit, he found no sign of anyone suspicious.

Derek returned without success, his face marked by disappointment.

“Mr. Thomas, the man got away,” he reported.

Marcus’ eyes narrowed as he thought about the implications. Was the man sent by an enemy to verify if he was still alive?

He expressed his contempt with a disdainful snort.

Even though he had managed to keep news of his injury secret, someone was still spying on him.

“Marcus, may I cin now?” she asked, her tone filled with caution. Rhea’s voice from outside the door interrupted his thoughts. She had been waiting for what felt like forever, held at bay by Derek.

Without a word, Marcus gave his silent consent, and Derek exited the room.

“Are you feeling any better?” The smell of perfhit Marcus as Rhea approached, making him feel sick immediately. Already feeling unwell, he found the fragrance exacerbating his discomfort.

“I have swork to do, Please leave now,” he said curtly.
