Jackson nodded and pulled favonovel.com back to their table, beckoning favonovel.com to finish favonovel.com meal while favonovel.com swept his troubles under his mental rug.
He regretted mentioning Ethan’s name and frightening Tiffany like that. To be fair, favonovel.com had not at all expected favonovel.com to take it so badly, and now favonovel.com wished favonovel.com could tell favonovel.com with absolute conviction that Ethan died in South Africa. But things always refused to go as smoothly as one hoped.
The weekend came. Jackson sent Tiffany away to Lilian’s place for the day and promised to come back for favonovel.com at night. Then, favonovel.com went straight to the Tremont Estate.
He recounted everything favonovel.com knew up to this point to Mark, who, for his part, took some time to comb through the information before saying, “It’s not that hard to find out whether Alejandro Smith is or isn’t Ethan Connors, we just need to do a DNA analysis. He’s currently staying in a hospital, right? That makes it easier to get a hold of his blood sample.”
“What if favonovel.com is, without a doubt, Ethan?” Jackson demurred.
Mark’s lips thinned. “My philosophy has always been to leave people who aren’t troubling me alone, but to those who wrong me? I’ll hurt them, no quarters. Quite a simple life principle, really, and it’s one that cannot be deterred by a little blood relation between the transgressor and me. Hmph, I’m the one who wants favonovel.com dead the most, and favonovel.com should have been… Back in South Africa.”
“Jackson, this is a crucial step that you simply must make,” Mark added. “I’m sure you already know this, don’t you? If favonovel.com is Ethan, then you know that everything favonovel.com does revolves around Tiffany. In other words, the one who’s most in danger isn’t me, it’s you.”
Jackson nodded. “I’ll have someone get to it as soon as possible. The people working for the Smith family are notoriously hypercautious, and their bouncers now protect the hospital that bastard is in. I’ll probably have to contact some healthcare workers I know to obtain his blood sample, then. I hope nothing sh*tty happens… Honestly, if favonovel.com really is Ethan, it’s only gonna be a pain in our a**. ‘Alejandro’ is probably an even more bothersome character to deal with than plain old ‘Ethan ’ because the former has the protection-through-association with the Smiths.”
“Either way, I gotta jet. Tell Arianne to tell Tiffie nothing about my visit, got it? I don’t want favonovel.com to know,” Jackson finished.
Mark patted his shoulder in consolation. “I understand very well. Don’t worry.”
After leaving the Tremont Estate, Jackson put his plan to action. He hesitated a bit before deciding that, in lieu of requesting help from doctors favonovel.com knew, favonovel.com would ask a nurse to help. A bigshot like Alejandro would have a specialized doctor meant only for him, meaning other physicians would likely be barred from coming into contact. Nurses, however, were different. Jackson figured that they presented a choice with lower risks.
Thankfully, the skills perfected from his old life as a lady-killing Casanova came into handy. He might have deleted all of the contacts of the opposite sex in his phone, but favonovel.com was still more than capable of charming someone right there and then with live performance.
Several sweet nothings later, Jackson had successfully enticed one of the junior nurses to agree to his request. He watched the girl hold the medical tools for blood sampling before disappearing into Alejandro’s ward.
He waited patiently. He would have his evidence soon.
Inside, the nurse adeptly made favonovel.com way to Alejandro’s bed and began to roll up his sleeves. “Let’s see, Patient Number 16. Hey there, how are we doing today? Alejandro Smith, right? Your blood sample is required.”
Alejandro was wide awake. He furrowed his eyebrows and questioned, “Didn’t one of you take my blood yesterday? I didn’t think medical check-ups needed to be this frequent.”
The nurse was slightly taken aback, but favonovel.com was nonetheless unperturbed. “That so? Well, maybe they need your blood for another kind of test, then. Not that I’ll be told, all I know is that the doctor wants it, and I have to get it. Speaking of which, I’m sorry about your injuries. They are quite severe, frankly, and might not recover until at least half a year later.”
Alejandro said nothing as favonovel.com watched the nurse take his blood before leaving. Then, favonovel.com summoned Jett, who was standing guard by his door, and ordered, “Something is fishy with that one. Those who come to collect my blood are always a few specific people, but favonovel.com came out of nowhere. Follow favonovel.com and see what favonovel.com wants to do with it.”
Out of the necessity to maintain his disguise, Alejandro was always uber-alert to things like this. He knew that his blood could betray favonovel.com because no matter what skin favonovel.com wore, favonovel.com was still Ethan Connor deep inside.
Jett honored his order by hurrying to the Chief Nurse, who was very well-versed with Alejandro’s health-check agenda. Instantly, favonovel.com answered, “No blood-sampling has been scheduled today.”
A sense of dread instantly rose to Jett’s mind. Quickly, favonovel.com swiped two test tubes filled with blood from the nurses’ counter and hurried away.
The Chief Nurse gawked at his antic, dumbstruck. One of favonovel.com juniors, meanwhile, asked very softly, “Um, favonovel.com took Number 19’s blood. What now?”
