Chapter 218 Taking a Bath Together
Larry rolled back in no time. He shoved the door open and strolled into the Mortal Clinic, making a beeline for the back room.
Amelia jumped up and hollered, "Larry!"
Larry gave a slight nod, glanced at Chloe who was chilling nearby watching the news, plopped down next to her, and asked, "Chloe, you good?"
"I'm alright." Chloe looked at Larry, pointed at the TV, and asked, "What's the deal? Timothy's dead?"
Larry nodded and said, "Yeah, I knew calling the cops wouldn't do squat against the Carter Family. But after I reported it, the authorities got serious. Free himself led the troops to Willow Creek Lodge and wiped 'em out. Timothy tried to fight back and got shot."
"And Alexander's dead too. Now no one's gonna mess with the Lewis Family anymore."
"Free himself got involved?" Chloe was a bit taken aback.
"Yep, Free's stationed in Sunset City, and these guys were into some shady stuff. Free couldn't just sit back and watch."
He grabbed Chloe's hand and said, "Chloe, you gotta use the law to protect yourself, got it? In Summer Nation, no one beats the law. There are always folks standing up for justice, and Free's one of 'em."
"Okay." Chloe nodded. Then, she remembered something. "By the way, where's Sam?"
Larry said, "He's at the hospital. I'll take you home first, then go check on him."
Chloe didn't think much of it.
This time, she owed her rescue to Larry.
If Larry hadn't called it in, she might've been toast.
She couldn't even imagine the fallout.
Larry took Chloe's hand and got up to leave.
"Larry," Amelia spoke up, hesitating.
"What's up?" Larry looked at her and asked, "Just spit it out."
"Where's Frank?" Amelia asked.
She knew Frank had gone to Southwild.
Then news came from Southwild that Black Dragon had thrown down with masters from twenty-eight countries in Cedar Grove and was hunted by an army of a hundred thousand. Shortly after, word of Black Dragon's death came.
Now Black Dragon was back, but Frank wasn't.
She hadn't had a chance to ask.
Larry saw the worry on Amelia's face and got it. He said, "Frank's fine. I'll give you a number, and you can call to check on him."
He handed Amelia Howard's number. After that, he took Chloe and left.
Amelia immediately dialed the number and, as soon as the call connected, she eagerly asked, "Hey, Larry said you know where Frank is. Where's he at?"
Howard didn't know who was calling.
When Amelia mentioned Larry, he figured it was one of Larry's friends. "At the military hospital."
"What? He's in the hospital?" Amelia's face went pale, and she quickly asked, "What happened to him?"
"Come see for yourself." Howard didn't say much.
Amelia hung up and rushed to the military hospital.
The Lewis Family was gathered.
Victor and the others hadn't left because Larry's words had freaked them out.
Victor and the crew stayed with the Lewis Family, discovering that Sam and Chloe had been kidnapped, clearly as part of the Carter Family's revenge.
Now, the news was on TV. Seeing the broadcast, the Lewis Family were stunned. Timothy and Alexander were dead?
The whole family couldn't believe it.
The Carter Family had just started their revenge against the Lewis Family, and in just one afternoon, they were wiped out?
Soon, Larry and Chloe came back.
Seeing Chloe safe and sound, Maria rushed over, crying with joy, "Chloe, you're okay, thank goodness. I just saw the news about Alexander and his gang's illegal gathering at Willow Creek Lodge. I thought you were a goner."
"Mom, I'm good. Larry's the one who called it in, and the military stepped in. We owe it all to him."
"By the way, where's Sam?"
"Where's my husband? What happened to my husband?" Mindy didn't see Sam and immediately freaked out, crying, "Sam, how could you die? Your kid hasn't even been born yet."
"Mom, Sam's fine. He got hurt but he's at the hospital. You should go see him there."
Hearing this, everyone felt a wave of relief and headed to the hospital.
Sam was rushed in just in time and had already gone through surgery.
Sam lay on the hospital bed in the special ward, staring at the ceiling, totally zoned out.
What went down tonight was insane.
He was ready to die, but out of nowhere, Larry showed up and saved his bacon.
He was even more blown away to find out Larry was actually Black Dragon?
If he was Black Dragon, then who was the Larry from The Serpent Group?
His brain was on overload.
But Larry took down over a hundred guys like it was nothing. And then Free showed up, who was Larry's buddy.
If this wasn't Black Dragon, then who the heck was it?
He couldn't wrap his head around why, with all that power, Larry would marry into the Lewis Family and put up with all the crap there.
Thinking back on all the stuff that had happened in the Lewis Family recently.
It all seemed like the mysterious Mr. Bennett was pulling the strings.
Now that he thought about it, it wasn't Mr. Bennett. It was Larry, the son-in-law of the Lewis Family.
Sam was deep in thought.
Soon, the door to the ward swung open, and a bunch of people walked in.
It was the Lewis Family who had rushed over.
"Honey, how are you?" Mindy rushed to Sam's bedside as soon as she got in. Seeing him all bandaged up, she started bawling.
Sam turned his head slightly and saw Larry who had come along. He felt a surge of fear.
He used to think Larry was a nobody and always treated him like crap. 'Is he gonna get back at me?' Sam started to worry.
Chloe came over and also asked with concern, "Sam, you okay?"
"I'm fine," Sam said, feeling a bit nervous.
Larry said, "Sam's pretty banged up and needs to rest. Don't bug him anymore. Let's head back. The hospital's got pros to take care of him."
"Yeah," Sam immediately said, "You all go back. I'm not gonna die. I'll be home after I recover."
The Lewis Family looked at Sam and, seeing he was clear-headed, felt a huge sense of relief before heading back together.
In Chloe's room, Chloe sat on the bed, looking all apologetic, and said softly, "Honey, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."
Larry waved his hand slightly and said, "I don't mind the trouble. Do you know why I'm pissed?"
Chloe shook her head.
"I'm pissed because you don't tell me anything. I'm your husband. So much stuff happened at home, why didn't you tell me earlier? No need to ask others for help."
Chloe lowered her head and didn't say a word.
She had thought about telling Larry.
But she figured Larry wouldn't help without money and power.
"I won't do it again," she said softly, lowering her head. "From now on, I'll tell you first if anything happens."
"That's right," Larry said. "We're a team. You didn't tell me anything and went to an outsider instead. That's messed up."
Chloe nodded like a kid who got caught doing something wrong.
Larry patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Alright, it's all over. It's late. Go take a shower and get some sleep."
"Honey!" Chloe suddenly looked up.
"What's up?" Larry looked at her. She seemed like she wanted to say something, but her face turned red before she even spoke. "Let's take a shower together."
