254 Two men

Knock. Knock.

The two people in the room reflexively looked up towards the door.

Hiroto glanced down at Helen who had averted her gaze back to her father who was laying on the bed. Her attention was solely on Ido Kanagawa.

Hiroto was wondering if she did not care at all; or if she just trusted Hiroto and his men enough.

Before he got the chance to answer the knock, the door was opened from the outside.

Hiroto saw that several people were standing in front of the room. They were not able to enter because the two bodyguards, that Hiroto had assigned to guard the door, were standing still and not allowing anyone to take a step further.

....

The first man that entered his view was the doctor that was assigned to Ido Kanagawa.

Two female nurses and two unfamiliar men were standing closely behind him.

"Can I help you, doctor?" Hiroto addressed him from his place while still standing by the hospital bed, unmoved.
