The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 88

Herman peered out the car window and thought that the hospital looked somewhat desolate in the night.

He was here, waiting for Kenny.

As soon as Kenny caught sight of the news about Ledford Corporation, he'd definitely show up.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Kenny hurried out of the hospital with his assistant.

Herman gestured to Nelson, who got out of the car and headed towards Kenny with two bodyguards.

"Mr. Ledford."

Nelson looked at Kenny, his eyes holding a hint of sympathy.

Kenny had raised an incompetent and shameless son, Blake. Hence, as a father, he had to face the music because Blake had pissed off the Salstrom family.

Anastasia was Herman's wife. If word got out that Blake had tried to insult her, what would become of the Salstrom family's reputation and Anastasia's good name?

Kenny looked surprised when he saw Nelson. "Nelson, what are you doing here?"

Nelson grinned, "Mr. Salstrom has been waiting for you for a while now."

Nelson motioned towards Herman's car.

Kenny was even more baffled after hearing that Herman was waiting for him.

Kenny followed Nelson's gaze to Herman's car, a Rolls Royce that was well-known around Riverdale as it belonged to the big cheese of Elysian Technologies, Herman.

Ledford Corporation was facing a crisis, and Kenny was super keen to work with the Salstrom family. He had repeatedly sought out Herman and made promises, but Herman was still reluctant to invest in Ledford Corporation.

Elysian Technologies could be the lifeline of Ledford Corporation.

Kenny wondered why Herman would be waiting for him right at the hospital entrance and at such a late hour too. Did he suddenly want to collaborate with Ledford Corporation?

This was so unlike Herman.

Kenny asked Nelson, "Can you tell me why Mr. Salstrom wants to see me?"

Nelson replied, "He heard that Blake got a beating at the Éclipse Lounge, so Mr. Salstrom came to visit him."

This left Kenny even more puzzled.

"Mr. Ledford, after you." Nelson made a gesture of invitation.

Feeling great, Kenny headed towards the Rolls Royce.

Nelson opened the car door, and Herman sat inside, looking expressionless at Kenny. "Mr. Ledford, let's chat in the car."

Kenny got into the car while Nelson and the bodyguards waited outside.

The car was spacious, and they sat face-to-face. Herman personally poured a cup of coffee for Kenny.

Kenny asked with a smile, "Mr. Salstrom, I had no idea that you knew my son. When did you guys meet?"

Herman replied calmly while sipping his coffee, "Just tonight."

Kenny was full of questions. They just met tonight? How could they have a friendship then? Why would Mr. Salstrom personally come to the hospital to visit Blake?

Keeping his cool on the outside, Kenny said, "Blake hasn't mentioned anything."

Herman asked casually, "Mr. Ledford, how's your son's condition?"
