Chapter 865 He was Severely Injued
As she thought of this, she felt at ease.
However, she felt uneasy when she slept that night.
She didn't know what was going on, but somehow she felt a little suffocated as if there was a stone pressing on her heart, which almost made her puked.
In the middle of the night, Emmeline was awakened.
There was a rush of footsteps outside. She got out of bed and ran to the window to have a look.
The whole castle was ablaze with lights. Cars and people were moving around outside, while everyone was in a hurry and panicking.
A bad feeling welled up in her heart. As she looked at the time, it was just three o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Yunne had probably heard the noise as well, so she rushed into Emmeline's room.
Still in her pajamas, she wore a thin jacket to layer herself.
When she saw Emmeline glancing out of the window, she asked urgently, "Miss Illington, are you okay?"
Then, Emmeline turned to look at her and asked with a frown, "What happened outside?"
In response, Yunne repied in a hurry, "I don't know. It seems that someone has landed a bomb in town and war is about to begin!"
Hearing that, Emmeline was shocked.
War?
How was that possible?
Everybody knew that this was Jara's territory. Even though the Lost Vanguard had been disintegrating over the past two years, it wasn't to the point where people could cause a trouble.
With a frowned, she asked, "Where's Jara?"
As soon as she heard the question, Yunne seemed to be so anxious that she was about to cry. In a trembling voice, she said, "I was about to say this. When I was woken up by the noise, I heard that Mr. Holland had returned and was seriously injured. So I came to you in a hurry."
Upon receiving the news, Emmeline was completely shaken up.
In a deep voice, she asked, "He was injured? What happened?"
"I don't know. I just heard about it."
"Where is he?"
"He had already been sent back."
As soon as Yunne finished her words, Emmeline, who was still in front of her a second ago, had already rushed out.
In shocked, she hurriedly cried, "Emmeline, the injury on your leg..."
At this moment, Emmeline had no time to care about her own injury.
Her mind was flooded with images of Jara getting injured.
He was seriously injured?
How was that possible?
Didn't he say that he had already taken care of the security? Besides, who would've done anything to him in such a short time?
Her heart was beating very fast, and it didn't take long for her to run upstairs of the main building.
At this time, she found that the corridor on the second floor was full of people. Not only the servants, but also Quan and the others, even Isaac had arrived. They were all gathered at the door of the bedroom.
Her expression changed as she walked over quickly.
"Where is he?"
When Quan saw her, he immediately replied respectfully, "He's in the bedroom."
When Emmeline was about to walk inside, she was stopped by Isaac.
Looking at her with a deep gaze, Isaac said, "Jara was injured by a bomb. The other party came prepared, so he was seriously injured this time. But you don't have to worry too much. We've already found the best doctor to operate on him. Because it's not safe to go to the hospital now, we've found someone to arrange a temporary surgical room for him. Apart from the doctor, Uncle Poick is also taking care of him right now. Don't panic. If you have to go in, change your clothes first."
As he spoke, he got someone to bring her a set of sterile clothes.
Without a second thought, Emmeline put it on directly.
When she was done changing her clothes, she turned to look at Isaac and asked, "Can I go in now?"
Isaac nodded.
Quan and the rest, who were standing on guard at the entrance, finally let her in.
Emmeline had been to Jara's bedroom.
But this time when she came in, although had only been a few days, she felt that it was like a foreign and cold world inside, a place she had never been to before.
At that moment, she saw that someone had placed a large wooden board on the bed in the middle of the bedroom. A white bed sheet was placed over the board, and the bed were also covered with a white curtain.
On the floor, it had been covered with a layer of cloth as well.
There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the room. So she assumed that they had been back for a while.
At the moment, Uncle Poick was standing next to the bed, looking at the person on the bed with a worried and distressed look.
On the other side of the bed, a blond, blue-eyed medical specialist and two assistants were concentrating on the person on the bed for surgery.
They were so focused that they didn't even notice that there was another person in the room.
Thus, Emmeline walked over silently.
Soon, Uncle Poick saw her and said. "Miss Illington, you're here."
But Emmeline didn't speak.
And she didn't even look at him.
She had her eyes fixed on the person lying on the bed.
Jara's face was as pale as sheet, and his clothes had been taken off, revealing a ferocious wound.
His shoulders, stomach, legs, and arms were all covered in wounds.
Even his head was wrapped in bandages.
The usually strong and overbearing man was like a lifeless piece of paper at that moment. He was lying there weakly and was out of concious.
At once, tears welled up in her eyes.
However, Emmeline forcibly suppressed it and did not let it flow out of her eyes.
She knew that she could not cry at this time.
In the face of the chaos, and Jara was in this situation, so if she cried, not only would she not be of any help to the current situation, but she would also disturb the doctos, resulting in an even more chaotic situation.
Therefore, she had to be strong.
Turning around, she asked Uncle Poick in a low voice, "What did the doctor say just now?"
She knew that the doctors would definitely say something when they came over.
In a low voice, Uncle Poick answered, "No vital parts weren't hurt, but the injuries were severe. We'll have to wait until after the surgery to see."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline nodded.
She took a deep breath, and looked at him for a while, then silently left.
Outside, everyone was still standing guard.
Seeing her come out, all of them anxiously rushed forward and asked about his situation.
Emmeline did not answer, but only took a look at Quan and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on today?"
Meawhile, Quan's face didn't look good either.
After all, Jara had brought him and his guards with him when he left.
But now, he and his team members were all fine, while Jara was heavily injured. Clearly, there was something off.
Therefore, it could be said that he felt incredibly bad right now.
It was even more painful than the shrapnel that pierced into his body.
However, he would still answer Emmeline's questions.
But because there were too many people here, it was not convenient. So he said in a low voice, "Miss Illington, can I have a word with you?"
After that, he led her to the other end of the corridor.
Emmeline did not say anything and followed him.
Only when they reached the end of the corridor, Quan stopped his footsteps. Turning around, he said in a low voice, "We were ambushed."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline frowned. "What do you mean?"
Then, Quan continued in a low voice, "Mr. Holland had took me along for a business deal in the neighboring city, but since it's too late, it's inconvenient to come back tonight, so he was planning to come back tomorrow morning."
