Chapter 652 - Ill Look For An Alchemist Wife (1/2)

In order not to attract too many people, the east wing of the hospital was finally sterilized from visitors and other patients. Only certain people on duty could roam there.

Nevertheless, the presence of a group of beautiful people had already become the talk of the hospital among those who had seen them. Rumors that they were members of the Schneider family soon spread among the present visitors and hospital staff. They wondered who was sick for the whole mysterious family to come to visit.

Terry, who was busy searching for news about himself on the internet for the most popular executive nomination in 2050, suddenly chuckled. He repeatedly tapped his tablet and examined various photos in the website column that contained news about him.

”My photo's already uploaded to the gossip website. How are they so fast?” He grumbled. He showed Jan, who was sitting beside him, nodding from his sleepiness. ”Looks like this was taken from the lobby earlier. Call the director of the hospital's HRD so they take care of their security.”

Jan tilted his head to look at what Terry was referring to and immediately understood. Terry's real resentment wasn't on the photo itself, but rather the angle of taking, which was not right and didn't display Terry's good looks as he wanted.

Jan remembered that Terry had been photographed by the paparazzi a number of times when he was stirred up on a date with some models, but Terry didn't nag because his appearance in various photographs taken in disguise looked dashing and charismatic.

”This doesn't seem to have been taken by a professional photographer or paparazzi,” Jan said, squinting and examining the photos. ”The quality is bad and the angle is not good. Surely they are only taken by hospital visitors who happened to recognize you, Sir.”

”That's right,” Terry said. He agreed with the part that the picture quality was poor and the angle was not good. Huh... his face in the photos looked swollen and his eyes were closed. Untalented people shouldn't touch a camera, he thought in irritation.

”We can't do anything if the pictures are taken by visitors. This hospital only prohibits the presence of photographers and journalists. Patient visitors have the right to bring a phone and take photos as they please.” Jan explained patiently. ”We can only jam the internet signals so visitors can't post anything to the media.”

”That's better,” Terry agreed.

”That, or you can visit the hospital formally after taking shower and changing clothes, so the visitors and staff can meet you in person and take better quality pictures together,” Jan added.

Terry looked stunned for a moment and looked at him with a bright face. ”Hmmm... you're right, too. It would be better if I appear officially, so as to allay suspicions and gossip about why the Schneider family suddenly came here.”

He wanted to ask the location of the nearest VVIP room so he could take a shower and change clothes when the hospital director came walking towards him from the lobby.

”Good morning, Sir,” William Gerber greeted Terry with respect. Among these new arrivals, he immediately recognized Jan Van Der Ven and Terrence Chan. After greeting Terry, he nodded at Jan. ”Can I help you, Sir?”

”We want to have an official visit later this afternoon. Can you please make the appropriate preparations?” Terry promptly requested.

”Of course,” William smiled kindly. ”Do you need anything else? Have you all had breakfast?”

Jan nodded. ”Earlier, the hospital staff prepared everything. We'll eat after taking shower and changing.”

In the large lounge where they were resting, there were now many comfortable large sofas, a luxurious dining table, and several rooms for resting and bathrooms. Even so, nobody was thinking of taking a shower and changing clothes or having breakfast because they hadn't gotten the latest news about L's condition.

”I rushed here as soon as I heard about the Schneider family. Well then, I will come back before lunchtime so we can arrange an official visit.”

He then excused himself. Terry decided to take Jan's advice, cleaning up to look fresh and changing into formal clothes. Since his presence was already known, he felt better if he also used this opportunity to appear in the media for support of the most popular executive in 2050 nomination he was aiming for.

”Please also take a shower and change clothes...” he grumbled to London, who was sitting in a corner of the room while sipping his coffee slowly. Terry frowned at London's crumpled appearance. ”You're still wearing the same clothes as the one you wore at Aleksis's party in Singapore, don't you realize?”
