Chapter 88 Strong Bond
As Fiorello gazed out of the car window, the deserted hospital stood stark against the night. He was here, waiting for George. He knew George would appear as soon as the news about the Quixote Group reached him.Sure enough, within the span of ten minutes, George emerged from the hospital in a hurry, his assistant trailing behind him. Fiorello gave a nod to William, who, flanked by two bodyguards, exited the car and approached George."Mr. Quixote," William greeted, his eyes meeting George's with a hint of pity. George's reckless actions were the unfortunate result of his father's lack of guidance. But who could blame George for having a son like David?And who could have foreseen that David would unknowingly provoke the Flores family? Maggie, the matriarch of the Flores family, would be humiliated if word got out that she had been insulted by David. The reputation of the Flores family, and Maggie herself, would be in jeopardy.George was taken aback to see William and asked, "William, what brings you here?"William chuckled lightly, "We've been waiting for you, Mr. Quixote."He gestured towards Fiorello's car parked nearby. George's confusion deepened when he learned that Fiorello was waiting for him at the hospital entrance. His gaze followed William's gesture, landing on Fiorello's Rolls-Royce. In the capital circle, it was common knowledge that the car belonged to Fiorello, the CEO of Visionary Futures Group.George had been eager to collaborate with the Flores family amidst the Quixote Group's crisis. He had met with Fiorello several times, making grand promises, but Fiorello had shown no interest in investing in the Quixote Group. The Visionary Futures Group could be the lifeline that the Quixote Group desperately needed.George was puzzled as to why Fiorello was waiting for him here, at such a late hour and at the hospital entrance. Was it possible that Fiorello had suddenly decided to collaborate with the Quixote Group? It seemed out of character for Fiorello.George turned to William, "Can you tell me why Mr. Flores wants to see me?""I heard about the incident at the Sercial Guild Hall," William replied. "Mr. Flores came to offer his condolences."George was left even more perplexed. Why would Fiorello visit David, who was seriously injured? Was there a connection between his son and Fiorello that he was unaware of?Upon hearing that Fiorello had come to visit David, George decided to test the waters. "Mr. Flores is truly kind. I had no idea that David knew him.""Mr. Flores and Mr. Quixote share a strong bond," William responded.Indeed, their bond was strong. Fiorello had personally beaten David severely enough to land him in the hospital. Fiorello rarely got his hands dirty, making David one of the few privileged enough to receive such treatment.Upon hearing this, George felt a wave of relief and even delight. His son had a connection with Fiorello. This could make things easier. The crisis of the Quixote Group might even be averted.At this point, George was blissfully unaware that the Quixote Group's downfall had been orchestrated by Fiorello himself.George smiled, "William, please lead the way.""Mr. Quixote, after you," William gestured.George's spirits lifted as he made his way towards the Rolls-Royce. William held the car door open and George was met with the sight of Fiorello sitting inside, his expression unreadable. "Mr. Quixote, let's talk in the car."George climbed into the car, while William and the bodyguards remained outside. The car's spacious interior allowed the two men to sit facing each other. Fiorello personally poured a cup of coffee for George.George smiled, "Mr. Flores, I had no idea that you and my son were acquainted. When did you meet?"Fiorello, sipping his coffee, replied nonchalantly, "We met tonight."George was full of questions. They had met tonight? What kind of relationship was that? And why had Fiorello come to the hospital in person to console him?Maintaining his composure, George said, "David hasn't mentioned it."Fiorello asked casually, "Mr. Quixote, how is your son's injury?"
