Chapter 536 The Way He Said It
“We’ll just have to look into this and weed out her accomplices, whoever they are,” Toby said darkly, narrowing his eyes ominously.
Sonia nodded in agreement with him. There was little point in guessing who might have helped Tina escape when a thorough investigation could give them all the answers.
“Get the bodyguards to come back for now,” Toby instructed, pinching the space between his brows wearily as he glanced at Tom. Now that Tina had managed to get away, sending bodyguards after her would be redundant.
Adjusting his glasses, Tom answered, “Yes, President Fuller.” With that, he returned to the phone conversation and ordered the bodyguards to come back.
Meanwhile, the doctor was done tending to the abrasions on Sonia’s arm. He slipped off his disposable gloves with a flourish and announced, “You’re all done, miss. I’ve disinfected and put ointment on the wounds. Now, you may be tempted to scratch the wounds while they’re healing, but let the itching subside on its own, or the wounds might leave the scar.”
“Got it, doctor. Thank you,” Sonia said with a polite smile.
“You’re welcome.” The doctor grabbed the medical kit from the coffee table and slipped the strap over his shoulder. “I’ll be taking my leave now, President Fuller.”
Upon hearing this, Toby jerked his chin at Tom and said, “Tom, see the doctor out and drop by the security office along the way. We need to find out the precise time when Tina showed up around the area.”
“Yes, sir!” Tom nodded respectfully, then politely indicated for the doctor to leave through the door. The doctor took the lead, and Tom fell in step behind him.
