Chapter 1373 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (48)
With a cry of pain from Phoebe, Aidan's heart nearly stopped.
Aidan didn't know what to say. At this moment, he felt anger, indescribable pain, but most of all, worry.
He held Phoebe tightly, afraid she might die. She sensed his tension and felt a bit awkward. "I'm fine; it's just a scratch."
Maybe it was too dark, and the shooter wasn't accurate.
Hearing this, Aidan breathed a sigh of relief, followed by anger. "Why did you shield me? Do you have a death wish?"
If the shooter had been more accurate, he couldn't even imagine if Phoebe would still be alive.
"I didn't think that much." At that moment, she only thought about protecting Aidan. As for her own life, she really didn't consider it much.
Aidan looked at her. Even though he couldn't see Phoebe's expression clearly in the dark, he was still moved. He picked her up and continued to hide.
Phoebe said, "I'm fine. Put me down. I can walk on my own."
"Shut up!" Aidan was very angry at this moment, but he wouldn't argue with Phoebe now. He needed to ensure their safety first.
Evelyn's people arrived just in time. With Dermot by her side, they quickly subdued the gunmen. Several gunmen were killed, and a few were captured.
Evelyn walked up to them, seeing Aidan holding Phoebe, and asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
She had already called an ambulance on the way, which should arrive soon.
Phoebe replied, "I'm fine."
Aidan said, "She's hurt."
Phoebe could only look at Evelyn helplessly, hoping she would say something to make Aidan put her down. It was embarrassing to be held like this.
Unfortunately, Evelyn had no intention of helping. She thought it was good enough, proving Aidan's concern for Phoebe.
Soon, the ambulance arrived, and Aidan carried Phoebe towards it. Before getting in, he looked at the captured men. "I want to know who is behind them."
"Don't worry, Aidan. Leave it to me." Evelyn's gaze turned cold as she looked at the men. Daring to attack Aidan was a blatant disregard for her.
Although Aidan didn't need the Kyte family's help, everyone in Golombia knew about her relationship with him. Attacking Aidan was like opposing the Kyte family.
"I want to handle it myself. Just help me find out who's behind it." Aidan knew Evelyn would help, but he didn't want that. He wanted to handle his own matters.
Moreover, he already had some guesses. At this point, there weren't many people who would make a move against him. He sneered inwardly, thinking the Lowe family was planning to eliminate him because he didn't intend to return and such tactics were indeed extraordinary.
Aidan took Phoebe and followed the ambulance, while Evelyn and Dermot stayed behind to handle the aftermath.
In the ambulance, Phoebe sat on a stretcher as the doctor treated the wound on her arm.
Phoebe's injury wasn't serious, but seeing her bleed made Aidan's face darken.
"Alright, avoid water and get plenty of rest for the next few days," the doctor advised. There was really no need for a hospital visit.
When they arrived at the hospital, Aidan insisted on a full-body checkup for Phoebe.
Helpless, Phoebe complied. She could tell he was very upset, and at times like this, she thought it best not to go against his wishes.
