Meanwhile, in Country Q, Martins received the news of Josh's death. His eyes lingered on the message for a long moment before he slowly lowered the phone. Instinctively, his looked toward the closed treatment room door.
Eric was still inside undergoing another round of treatment, which has been going on for nearly an hour.
Martins frowned. 'Did Boss want it to end like this?' The question lingered in his mind.
When the incident occurred earlier that day, Martins had already prepared himself for the possibility that things might spiral beyond their expectations, so he was prepared for the worst.
After accompanying the police and giving his statement, he had already made up his mind to take up the responsibility of it all in case things went badly. After all, Eric's health was visibly deteriorating by the day. The last thing Martins wanted was for his boss to spend his remaining time entangled in legal troubles or worse, die in a prison cell.
