As they reached the outside of the VIP suite of the hospital, Meira noticed John and Ryan standing guard. Both were exchanging meaningful glances with Noah.
She had seen these two around often—they were Natalie's bodyguards—and had also seen Noah speaking to them frequently.
Noah knocked on the door and looked at Meira as he opened it. "You can head inside."
She quietly entered the suite. Once the door closed, Noah turned to John and Ryan, who were giving him sleazy smirks.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
The two looked at each other and then grinned at Noah.
"Playing the good husband now?" Ryan asked, his gaze teasing.
"Want to get beaten up?" Noah replied in a warning tone.
Ryan looked at John. "They say a man changes after marriage. First our boss proved it, and now our friend's walking the same path."
"Let him have his fun," John added with a teasing tone.
"Seems like your back has healed completely," Noah said sarcastically. "Forgot the punishment already?"
