Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1024 - 285: Getting What One Deserves_5

"You don't trust Terrence?" Sawyer Thompson countered.

Mary said, "It's not that I don't trust him, it's just..."

Sawyer continued, "We haven't showered in three or four days. I don't want Viola waking up tomorrow morning to see us so unkempt."

He wanted to leave the best impression on Viola.

Mary nodded.

Instead of leaving the hospital directly, the two went to Mrs. Thompson's ward.

Jayden Thompson, Evan Thompson, and Mandel Thompson were all by Mrs. Thompson's bedside.

Mrs. Thompson's condition was pretty stable.

But the chances of her waking up were virtually zero.

Hearing that Terrence was alone in Viola's ward, Mandel jumped up from his chair, "Mom! Dad! You're so casual!"

Mandel was a standard overprotective brother.

In his view, all men who appeared beside Viola were up to no good.

Letting Terrence watch over Viola alone, wasn't this like letting a lamb into a tiger's mouth?

As a brother, Terrence absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Sawyer looked at Mandel, "Mandel, I trust Terrence's character!"

He trusted Viola's judgment in selecting a boyfriend even more.

If Terrence did not have any merit, then Viola wouldn't have approved of him.

"This isn't a matter of trust or not," Mandel said as he picked up his suit hanging on the back of his chair, and began to leave as he put it on, "Uncle, today's night shift is on you guys, I need to keep Viola company!"

All men have their weaknesses.

Even though Terrence had brought Nathaniel Besian, he was grateful to him, but these were two separate issues.

Mandel had his own principles.

Sawyer didn't stop Mandel, instead he turned to his two brothers, "It's tough on you guys to stay with mom tonight, Mary and I will be back tomorrow morning."

The two men stood up from the couch, "Brother and sister, you've worked hard these past few days! Go and rest, don't worry about mom, we're here."

"We'll head out then."

On the other side.

Mandel returned to Viola's ward.

The two men looked at each other, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and they didn't know what to say.

Especially Terrence.

Usually a fearless man, yet he felt inexplicably nervous in the face of Mandel, even breaking a sweat from his forehead.

Especially after seeing the protective gaze of his future brother-in-law.

Terrence stood up from the sofa, "Bro, let me make you some tea. Do you want black tea or green tea?"

His future brother-in-law must be pacified!

Bro?

Mandel frowned slightly. It seemed that Terrence was in a hurry to call him brother. After all, his relationship with Viola was not yet formalised.

"You should call me Mr. Thompson." Mandel said.

Upon hearing this, Terrence knew that his future brother-in-law was not too satisfied with him. He still had many hurdles to cross.

Terrence immediately changed his greeting, "Mr. Thompson."

Only then was Mandel satisfied, he said, "Then, make me a cup of green tea."

Green tea is refreshing.

He couldn't afford to fall asleep, he had to keep a close watch on Terrence!

He couldn't give Terrence any chance.

"Okay." Terrence nodded and went to make tea.

The green tea in the hospital was average.

Though it wasn't the best, it still had the effect of invigorating the mind.

Terrence also made a cup of green tea for himself to stay awake.

He hadn't slept in two days.

And his brother-in-law was still there.

He had to perform well tonight and couldn't fall asleep.

A moment later.

The quiet room was interrupted by the vibration of a phone.

Terrence took out his phone, upon seeing the caller ID, he turned to Mandel, "Mr. Thompson, I need to take this call outside."

Since when did the high and mighty Boss Terrence have to report before taking a call?

If Terrence's assistant saw this, he'd probably not believe his eyes.

And Mandel didn't expect the person he'd been protecting was the one he admired most in the business world.

Terrence made a name for himself at fifteen.

He took the business world by storm, and by eighteen he had created his own business empire, controlling global commerce. Presently, Terrence has his own supply chain, logistical operations, and airline routes... He was indeed a business giant and the world's richest man.

However.

This man was too low-key, having never made public appearances.

Mandel took a sip of tea, acting every bit the part of the protective brother-in-law, "Hmm, go ahead."

Terrence stepped outside before answering the call, "Hello?"

"Sir, we've found it."
