“Dr. Green, is everything alright? Are you happy with this place?”
Julian Farley walked into the room just now.
Joseph was not pleased with Julian getting in uninvited. He squinted his profound eyes, turned around to lean on the balcony railing, and motioned a hand gesture casually with his hands behind his back. But he did not say a word.
Lucas in the dark was feeling a bit stunned.
That was their unique hand gesture. Joseph was “telling” him to be patient and stay put.
Was Joseph aware that Lucas would come?
Lucas had a slightly surprised smile on his face.
Joseph was a great soldier material, and it was a shame that he wasn’t.
He told everyone to stay put. Instantly everywhere around quieted down.
Joseph wasn’t sure if Lucas had seen his hand gesture though. He gave Julian a cold look and said, “You didn’t know you should knock before getting in, Mr. Farley?”
Joseph had always been straightforward when he spoke with Julian, as well as with Mr. Frye.
Even though Joseph came prepared, he still felt a bit awkward. He coughed to disguise his embarrassment, “Dr. Green, I’m here for my son today.”
“I’m not changing my mind. You have to agree to my terms before I save anyone. I can save your son, but you have to let my family go, my brother Lucas and his future wife included. I won’t back down.”
Joseph insisted on this.
