Winter and Mona soon arrived.
Even as Yannick looked on in glee, Winter's eyes lit up when she saw Frank, like he had just saved her world.
"Frank!" she cried as she threw herself into his arms.
Fortunately, Frank had also finished vaporizing the antidote pill he was holding just then, or his pure vigor would burn Winter the way she threw herself at him.
"Everything's fine now, silly!"This belongs to .
Frank patted her head with a gentle smile, leaving the security guards trading glances.
There was no mistaking it—the girl was Winter Lawrence, the chief of Zamri Hospital.
But why was she making a face like that to the young man?
"Frank... Lawrence?!"
On the other hand, the security team leader realized with a start that the young man was the mysterious Frank Lawrence, who was also best friends with Gene Pearce!
He promptly dropped to his knees in front of Frank, pleading, "Please forgive me, Mr. Lawrence. We didn't recognize you, and..."
Once he did and seeing how humble he was, the other security guards also realized that Frank was a big deal and followed his lead to kneel as well.
"It's alright. It was pure chaos earlier, and as victims, it's only right that you were wary," Frank said calmly without posturing with authority. Despite being misblamed, he simply took it in stride, waving them off and letting everything slide with a chuckle.
"However..."
Suddenly, Frank's eyes turned cool, leading everyone to turn toward Yannick, who was trying to flee again.
"Dr. Jorst." He asked icily, "Shouldn't you explain who put you up to this? And do you know the extent of your treachery?"
Winter looked up in surprise from Frank's arms just then. "Frank, you're saying..."
"Yeah." Frank nodded. "It was none other than Yannick Jorst here, your head coroner, who released the toxic gas."
"What?! Dr. Jorst?!"
།
Winter's eyes widened in shock, glancing between Frank and Yannick before slowly walking up to Yannick.
"Why would you do that?! Wick.
would
you help Carlo Group?!"
"Carlo Group?" Frank appeared nonplussed.
"They are at scum!" Mona snapped, and quickly explained what happened in Winter's office, with Fredo Barzini of the company threatening Winter to sign his exploitative agreement.
"How dare they..."
Frank was glowering after hearing the full story-that was simply despicable!
"Hmph. Fine, since everyone knows it now, I won't bother pretending!"
et
Yannick huffed, pausing as his expression turned savage. "Winter
Lawrence, you weaning brat! Don't
you know how much money've lost because of you?!"
"What?" Winter was left dumbstruck by Yannick's spiteful outburst.
"Hah!" Yannick snorted, ignoring her confusion. "Ever since you became the chief, my already meager income has shrunk to less than half what it was!"
