Chapter 845 What Do You Mean by That
"Mr. Voss, what do you mean by that?" Calliope's face turned serious at the mention of Brady. "What do you mean Brady will be summoned as soon as he gets off the plane?"
"Calliope, what are you talking about? Are you discussing Brady?" Violet stepped forward, having overheard their conversation.
"Violet, he just said..." Calliope began to relay what Darian had told her.
But before she could finish, there was a thud, and Darian collapsed to the floor, conveniently interrupting her.
Violet, startled and thinking he was seriously ill, quickly said, "Calliope, help him up."
Darian was currently their most important partner at JK, and she certainly didn't want anything to happen to him.
With Violet's urging, Calliope had no choice but to help him up and get him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Darian was taken to the ER for an IV, while Calliope, Violet, and Alaric waited in the room.
Once it was confirmed that he was just suffering from a cold, Violet finally relaxed and suggested to Calliope that they step out into the hallway.
"Calliope, do you want to head back? It looks like he won't be waking up anytime soon." Violet checked the time, concerned about taking up Calliope's time.
Calliope wasn't about to leave and give Darian any opportunity. "No need, I don't have anything going on today. I'll stay with you."
The things he had said to her earlier convinced her that Darian was trouble, so there was no way she was leaving.
Violet thought it over. Since Calliope had nothing else to do, it was better to have her stay.
Otherwise, if someone with an agenda saw them, rumors might start. Having Calliope there was reassuring, so she didn't refuse. "Alright, stay with me."
Calliope nodded, her eyes narrowing as she glanced toward the ward. She cautiously said, "Violet, do you know what he told me earlier?"
"What did he say?"
"He said Brady might be summoned by the police." Calliope didn't hold back, telling Violet everything.
Violet frowned. "What does that mean? Why would he say that?"
"I wanted to ask him too, but he suddenly fainted." Calliope said with frustration, "I suspect he was faking it."
She was now completely convinced that Darian was as cunning as they come.
Just like Charlotte had been.
She had been burned by Charlotte before, which was why she was so wary this time.
"How could he fake it? He has a cold." A cold couldn't be faked.
Violet didn't doubt that, but she was concerned about what Calliope had said.
"Even if he didn't fake the cold, just saying something like that—if it's true, there's a problem. If it's false, then he's just being malicious."
Violet pondered for a moment and said, "I'll call Brady and ask him about it later."
"We can't reach them now; they're on the plane." Calliope had already tried calling Eddy on the way to the hospital, but the phone was off.
So she guessed they were in the air.
"I'll go check if he's awake. If he is, I'll ask him." If this were true, she wanted to know why he said it.
"I'll go with you." Calliope followed closely, not wanting that deceitful man to mislead Violet.
Violet's company needed him right now, so he was probably feeling pretty confident.
The two of them returned to the ward, which was quiet. Alaric was sitting by the window, scrolling through his phone while keeping Darian company.
Darian was awake by now.
When Violet and Calliope entered, Darian looked at the two women without much expression, calmly watching them.
"Mr. Voss, you're awake? How are you feeling?" Violet approached him, making polite inquiries.
Darian forced a smile that seemed particularly difficult, his voice hoarse. "Feeling a bit better."
"Make sure to rest." Violet nodded, pursing her lips before continuing, "Calliope mentioned you said Brady would be summoned by the police when he gets off the plane. What did you mean by that?"
"What about getting off the plane? I don't know what you're talking about." Darian replied, his face still pale and weak from the cold, showing no significant emotional change.
His voice was slightly raspy as he innocently asked.
