Chapter 489
Natalie’s heart sank.
“Mr. Wesley, I think they need to run more tests. Something’s definitely wrong.”
“This Iridescent Show is very important to both of us. I have no time to waste here, Natalie,”
Draco interrupted her sternly.
Natalie noticed, however, that Draco was still having difficulty breathing.
But she also realized that she’d begun to irritate him, so instead she calmly explained to Draco, “Mr. Wesley, your health is more important than anything else now. The rest can all wait.”
Draco raised his hand.
It seemed that it was getting more and more difficult for him to breathe, and he grew impatient.
“I have expended a lot of time and energy to the Iridescent Show, and it can’t go wrong. Now the clothes have arrived there, and the models are ready at Northcliffe. We just need to be there.”
Brandon also noticed that something seemed very wrong with Draco.
He grabbed hold of Draco’s arm and said, “You don’t look well. Even if you left right now, you’re in no condition to attend the Iridescent Show.
With a frown, Draco impatiently replied, “Brandon, it’s none of your business!”
Without a second thought, Brandon answered bluntly, “You’re right! It isn’t any of my business. But if you don’t do the tests, Natalie won’t be going with you to the Iridescent Show. Nor will I allow you on Larson Group helicopter.”
Brandon had thousands of ways to keep Natalie here.
But Draco was determined to leave.
Sometimes, Draco looked a lot like Natalie.
Once he set his mind on something, no one could make him change it.
Sighing, Draco said, “I’m not that desperate, Brandon. I have my own connections. There will always be someone willing to help me to Northcliffe.”
Seeing that he was dead-set on leaving, Natalie ran over to beg Draco to change his mind.
“Mr. Wesley, a few more tests won’t take you much time.”
She became increasingly suspicious of what Jorge might have done to Draco.
There was clearly something very wrong with Draco.
“Since you’ve chosen to stay here rather than accompany me, Natalie, stay away from me!”
The look in Draco’s eyes suddenly grew cold and fierce.
Hearing his voice and seeing that look, chills ran down Natalie’s spine. She had never seen Draco like this before. She was stunned and didn’t know what to do.
Then, Draco swiftly marched away from Natalie and towards the gate.
As he continued on, Draco had the sense that someone was following him.
He had expected it to be Natalie, but when he looked back, he found Brandon standing behind him.
Without giving him a chance to speak, Brandon said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wesley.”
He raised his fist and knocked Draco out.
Draco landed on the ground, unconscious.
With an exhausted look on his face, Brandon held the unconscious Draco and gazed up at the stunned Natalie behind him.
“Come and help me.”
Looking around, Natalie checked to make sure that no one had seen what Brandon had done.
Then she ran over and held Draco.
“What have you done?”
Natalie slapped Brandon’s arm and asked.
“You didn’t think the situation was messy enough already?”
Brandon thought of what Jorge had said to the police.
“Something is wrong with Draco. If he leaves, he may die before he gets to Northcliffe. I have no choice but to do this to keep him here.”
Natalie didn’t say a word.
That was when the phone in Brandon’s pocket began to ring.
It was at that exact moment that Brandon remembered that he had made an appointment with Frank before the emergency at the airport happened.
“Brandon?”
As soon as he picked up the phone, Brandon could hear the annoyed tone in Frank’s voice.
“Where are you? I’ve been waiting for you for an hour!”
Frank contacted Brandon and learned that Brandon was in the hospital.
Frank immediately rushed there, dragging his suitcase.
The anger at Brandon started to wane along the way.
Brandon was a cold guy, yet he was kind to Frank.
Frank felt a pang of sadness as he reflected on the many years spent with Brandon.
When Brandon was young, he lost his mother. He was just two years into his happy marriage, but now…
Frank could not suppress a sigh. He arrived at the hospital quickly and saw Brandon standing outside a ward.
Frank approached him quickly and gave Brandon a pat on the back.
“You must have faith in the state of medicine today. There is no problem that cannot be solved…”
Frank hurriedly took out the flashlight from his suitcase, lifted Brandon’s eyelids, and proceeded to check him as soon as he finished speaking.
Brandon could not respond to that. He pushed Frank to an appropriate social distance and inquired, “What are you up to? I’m perfectly fine. The sick person is there.”
He pointed to the man who was laying in the hospital bed.
Frank was taken aback, but quickly gathered his calm and inquired, “What’s going on?”
Natalie’s eyes welled up with tears as she approached Frank.
“Actually, I have no idea what went wrong. I can only provide a general description of the problem. His breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and his organs were weakening, but the physicians could not determine the cause.”
Just now, after Brandon knocked Draco unconscious, Brandon requested that the doctor check Draco again and again, but to no avail.
All said and done, Draco’s predicament worsened rapidly.
