Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared novel Chapter 157

After Alexander was whisked off to the hospital, Director Grant was straight onto the phone with the Caine family, relaying Charlie's exact words. But Alexander's dad muttered a vague "ok" instead of a fiery outburst and hung up.

"What the heck does 'ok' mean?" Director Grant wondered, shaking his head in confusion.

He looked over at Alexander, who was out cold on the hospital bed with two broken ribs and a minor concussion. Alexander was in for a rough couple of weeks.

Handing over the job to a crew member, Director Grant left for the day. Given the drama, the next day, he expected Nancy to be a no-show. But to his surprise, Nancy arrived on time, and Charlie was with her. Yesterday's incident had made Charlie more vigilant.

Meanwhile, Alexander woke up in the hospital in a world of pain, the anesthetic having worn off. He noticed the man in the room and barked, "I need water!"

When he finished speaking, a man appeared with a cup of water, offering him a straw.

Butler Collins was the right-hand man of Alexander's father.

His father had never interfered in his affairs before, no matter how reckless he was. The fact that Butler Collins had been dispatched this time signified the seriousness of the situation.
