Raymond's POV
"So far, your condition is good. The operation is successful and there are no signs of failure. Continue to take care of yourself, Raymond."
I smiled. This is good news.
"Thanks, doctor. I knew that I could count on you."
The doctor thanked me and convinced me that he is just doing his job.
My assistant clears his throat.
"Sir, you got a phone call."
"Really?", I said.
My assistant handed me the ringing phone.
I took it and looked at the name of the caller.
I frowned seeing the name.
For a moment there, I thought that it's Elena.
I kept on waiting for her to call me. We need to have a proper talk.
" Hello?"
"Good afternoon sir. I found his location."
"That's great. I want you to send me the location right now. Also, find out his phone number. I'll be needing it."
He agreed. Of course, I paid for him.
I hanged up the phone and excused myself from the doctor.
I went to the parking lot and dialed Alexa's phone number.
"I hope that I'm not disturbing you, Alexa. Is it a good time to talk?", I said.
" Sure! What's up, Raymond? How's Elena? Do you have any need of her?", Alexa said on the other phone.
"She needs more time."
"Don't worry. I know that she'll forgive you. Time heals every wound."
"Not everything. Some things are exempted. By the way, I called you to tell you some news."
Alexa sounded worried.
"If this is bad news, I'll skip."
I laughed lightly.
"If it's bad news, I won't call you. I'll head over at your place."
Alexa gave out a sigh of relief.
"My men had just found out Brandon's location. I learned from them that he is preparing for something big. I do not doubt that it is for you."
Alexa's voice became happy.
"Aww! He is preparing for my birthday!"
I agreed.
"I don't wanna spoil you so I'll send you later the location. Don't you dare go there until it's your birthday? "
"But what will I wear? I have no idea."
"Don't worry about that. I got you covered. I already bought you clothes and shoes you will wear there. "
"I can't wait! You can join too. Bring Elena with -."
She turned quiet.
I smiled weakly.
Elena... How is she anyway?
"I'm so sorry Raymond. It slipped!"
"It's fine Alexa. I will try to invite her. You can ask Christian to accompany you."
"That's a good idea. I hope Elena attends too. I owe her a lot."
"I do hope so."
I heard some sizzling on the other line.
