A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 930

Paul was starting to get furious and was unable to sit still. "Why isn't Fred back yet? Where the hell did he go?"

"Should I go check?" Linus—Paul's son—asked.

"Just call him. Going in and out would just irritate us more," Paul told him.

Linus promptly whipped out his phone to call Fred. "Fred, Dad's asking how much longer the checkup would take. And why aren't you coming back?"

"Stomach ache. I needed the restroom," Fred replied. "I'm coming back soon."

"How's Grandfather?"

"Sean said he'll be done soon and told everyone to rest easy."

"Okay."

Linus hung up, and relayed Fred's message to everyone.

Paul rose to his feet impatiently right then. "I need a cigarette."

"I'm coming with you." Linus followed him to the smoking area, although it was just one glass door between them and the VIP lounge.

Cordy texted Sean again at that: [Uncle Paul and Linus are in the smoking area. Neither are making phone calls.]

Sean replied: [Got it.]

And with that, everyone waited for ninety minutes until Sean finally returned to them, and Paul asked grumpily, "Can your grandfather be discharged now?"

"Yes," Sean replied.

"I'll drive him."

"No, it's fine. He already got in the car heading home. Everyone just has to follow him back to Cranston Hall."
