When Bolton and others arrived at Doctor Brusque's clinic, they happened to encounter Egerton's assistant and several government investment fund officials walking out of the villa, apparently just finishing their visit.
Yesterday, due to a lack of medical equipment, Brusque transferred two injured persons to his clinic for continued treatment.
Led by a servant, Bolton entered the clinic's ward and found Sir Hope, the director of the Chat Han Shipyard, and two officers from the Navy Board present.
Bolton hurried forward to greet Sir Hope and the officers, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then looked towards the patient beds.
Sandler was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, but he recognized him through the eyes exposed as the former chief engineer of the company.
Similarly bandaged, Reese lay on another bed in the corner, occasionally letting out painful groans.
