I’m Someone Else

Thomas narrowed his eyes and glared at Ophelie. If the way that she had spoken to him a day ago was due to a pure misunderstanding, then he was convinced that she was just being a nuisance at this point. After all, the doctor had already stated that he hadn’t harmed Olivia—in fact, he was the one who saved her! Why is she still talking to me like this? Does she think I’m a pushover? Thomas was about to lose his temper when the door to the ward was flung open.

Norman heard some noise coming from outside, so he walked out to check things out. “Oh. It’s you,” Norman said with a hint of surprise as he stared at Thomas. What’s this guy doing here again? Is he here to visit Olivia? That doesn’t make sense. They just encountered one another by chance—isn’t he a little too much by coming over to visit? Norman was the head of the Pearson Group so he was a busy man, but he had taken out some time in the morning just to visit his daughter. He hadn’t expected to bump into Thomas here. Norman and Ophelie exchanged glances as they tried to figure out the reason Thomas was there. Soon enough, they came to the same conclusion. He must be here because he wants some form of reward!

The Pearsons were a reputable family in Irieson, and there were tons of people queuing up to be on their good side. Thomas was clearly one of those people! However, Norman still found one thing rather puzzling—Why didn’t Thomas just ask for a reward yesterday? Did he only think about it this morning? Could he have realized something after waking up today?

“Give me a moment.” Norman stood at the door without any intention of making way for Thomas to enter. Instead, Norman pulled his phone out and dialed a number before pressing his phone against his ear. “Can you get someone to bring 150,000 in cash now?” Norman asked. Despite feeling a sense of disrespect toward Thomas, Norman understood that Thomas was the one who had saved his daughter. The doctor made it clear the day before—Olivia wouldn’t have survived if it hadn’t been for Thomas. So, Norman found it reasonable to offer Thomas a reward.

“Pfft!” Ophelie gave Thomas disdainful scoff. Why is he acting all high and mighty? What’s up with that icy look on his face? He’s just here for the money, isn’t he? If he’s so desperate for the money, he should play the part, at least! Soon enough, a man in a black suit and black sunglasses showed up with a white suitcase. The man walked directly to Norman.

“Give it to him!” Norman ordered. The man in black nodded and opened the suitcase before presenting it to Thomas. The bright green bills caught the attention of everyone else in the hospital. “Woah! How much is that? There’s at least 30 grand there, isn’t there?” someone cried.
