Unexpectedly, she was so wrong. “Ms. Quest" At this time, a black Phantom stopped in front of her. Gael rolled down the car window and asked “Why are you here alone? Where is Mr. Meyer” She came back to her senses and hurriedly opened the door to get in "Mr. Meyer went after a robber”
“What?” he asked in a raised voice Bethany took out her phone and called the police while urging Gael, “Gael, hurry up and drive forward. if that robber has an accomplice, Mr. Meyer will be in danger" Hearing her words, Gael became serious and immediately started the car. A few minutes later, they found Zayn. He was in a dark alley, fighting with several men.
The one who snatched Bethany's bag was also among these men. Bethany squeezed her palms. "I was right. The robber does have accomplices.
Well, we have to go and help him” Although Zayn handled the situation quite well, the robbers outnumbered him. If he used up his strength, he would be in trouble Thinking of this, she hurriedly got out Car.
Gael also got off but stopped her "I will go You wait for us here." After saying that, he clenched his fists and joined the battle. With his, help, those robbers were soon handled.
When she saw the robbers fall to the ground covering their stomachs and rolling, she was greatly relieved, then smiled and ran towards Zayn, sizing him up“ Mr. Meyer, are you hurt?” Zayn noticed her concern and felt slightly warm. 'No. Here it is.”He. handed the bag to her. "See if anything is missing” She took it, opened it, and looked at it.
“Everything remains."
"Well, that's good." He nodded his head.
Suddenly, one of the robbers pulled down his stocking and pulled up a dagger pinned to his calf, jumping up and stabbing at Zayn with a vicious look. Since Zayn was facing the robber with his back, he did not notice the danger.
Gael noticed the robber, but he was a bit far from them. He could not stop the robber in time so he anxiously shouted, "Mr. Meyer, watch out!"
"Huh?" Zayn frowned, realizing what was going on.
Before he could react, he saw Bethany hugging his waist and taking him for a turn. She Switched positions with him.
Poof! He heard the sound of a dagger piercing into the flesh. Immediately after, he kicked the robber away violently.
The robber hit the wall and fainted Zayn did not look at the robber. Instead, he held Bethany's slumping body and asked nervously, “How are you doing?” She replied with a sweaty pale face,“ My shoulder hurts so much."
Shoulder?
He touched her shoulder and felt it was wet Then he instantly realized that it was blood! "Mr. Meyer, Ms. Quest was stabbed with a dagger" Gael said after beating those robbers again.
Zayn picked her up and said, "You stay here and wait for the police, I will take her to the hospital" "Okay." Gael nodded his head. Zayn then carried her to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, he went straight to Davis. Davis was on duty tonight and has just finished an operation. He was so tired and was about to take a nap on his desk when he suddenly heard a loud bang and his office door was kicked open.
He got scared and jumped up from his chair “What's going on?” Zayn looked tense and quickly walked to him, putting Bethany on his desk, and ordered, “Help her!”
“What's wrong with her?" Davis asked seriously as he looked at Bethany who leaned her head against Zayn's stomach and passed out.
"She was stabbed with a dagger,” Zayn replied simply.
Then he pulled down her sleeve exposing her shoulder. Davis took a look at the wound on her shoulder and drew a cold breath, hastily putting on his medical gloves and starting to clean her wound.
By the time Davis finished treating the wound it was already half an hour later. He took off his gloves and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay now.” Zayn pulled Bethany's sleeve up and arrows her to the side to lie on the sofa before Putting his jacket over her.
Then he went to the small sink to wash his hands. “Is her wound okay?” "Not so serious. Although the bleeding seems terrible, the stabbing is not deep It will scab over in a few days” Davis waved his hand with a relaxed gaze.
Jayson felt relieved. Davis pushed up his glasses and asked, 'What happened to you guys? How did she get stabbed” Zayn gave him a look and told him briefly what had happened?
After hearing Zayn's description, Davis said, "She is really lucky to have suffered such a light injury in that situation" Upon hearing this, Zayn narrowed his eyes unhappily and stared at him.
Davis shivered, realizing that he had said the wrong thing. So he simply smiled and said, "Don't be angry. I was wrong, okay?” Only then did Zayn avert his gaze, pick up Bethany's bag takes her phone out and unlocks it with her finger.
Then he dialed Vella's watch number. "Hello, this is Vella” a childish voice cameo the phone. Davis could not hold back a giggle. “He is funny when speaking in the same tone as an adult”
Although Zayn did not say anything, the faint The smile in his eyes clearly showed that he agreed with Davis's words. “Vella, it's me" Zayn spoke. speaking again, “Mr. how come you have Mommy's phone?
“Here is the thing. Your mommy is drunk and won't be back tonight, ”looking over at Davis, Zayn lied to her. Davis rolled his eyes at him in contempt.
She did not doubt Zayn's words and said, Got it. Then please take care of her, Mr.” Vella didn't understand why he had called her. "I will." Zayn nodded his head. Bethany got hurt because of saving him, so he could not leave her alone like this.
When the call ended, Davis looked at him with a meaningful look. "Why did not you tell them the truth?" "What could she do if I did?
How can I make a young child worry about such a petty matter?" Zayn glanced at him. Davis hugged his arms.“ You are so thoughtful.
Outsiders may think you are the father of the kid.” "Okay then. Prepare award” Zayn stood up. Davis let go of his arm and said, “Come with me”. Then he took the lead and went out of consultation room. followed him to the ward.
After arriving at the ward and placing Bethany on the bed, he saw Gael coming over. "Have the robbers been taken care of? ”he pulled out a chair and sat down, asking in a deep voice. Gael nodded.
"Yes. Those robbers will be locked up for some time, but” "But what?" Zayn looked at him. Gael frowned. "Mr. Meyer, this is not a mere robbery." "What do you mean?" Zayn became serious. Gael took out a photo from his pocket. handed it to him.
"This is something I got from the robber who snatched Ms. Quest's bag. It's a photo of Ms. Quest. Both the police and I guess that someone must have deliberately bribed the robber to snatch Ms. Quest's bag." Zayn clenched his fist and asked with cold eyes, "Has the robber woken up?”
"Not yet. His head was seriously injured. he will be unconscious for two or more days the other robbers, they did not know anything only listened to the unconscious robber's order” Gael replied. Zayn gripped the photo tighter and said, “So I have to wait for the robber to wake up before knowing who is behind all this?”
Yes. At the moment we don't have any clues for investigation" Gael also felt helpless.
Zayn put the photo to the side and looked at Bethany, speaking seriously, “What is worth robbing in her bag?"
Gael shook his head. "I don't know about that.”
Zayn lowered his eyes and did not speak anymore.
After a while, he pinched his nose bridge, feeling tired. "Go tell Ms. Sue to prepare a set of clothes for me and send them over tomorrow morning.
"Okay." Gael then turned around and left.
Zayn stayed with Bethany in the ward all night. It was not until the next morning when a phone call came that he left.
Soon after he left, Bethany woke up.
Ms. Sue heard the movement and quickly came to her bedside, looking at her with Surprise“ Ms. Quest?”
“Ms. Sue” Bethany blinked her eyes. How come you are here?”
Ms. Sue handed her a glass of water,“ Mr Meyer asked me to take care of you”
“Mr. Meyer?” Bethany held the glass of water and looked around. "Where is he?”
“He is already gone out,” Ms. Su replied.
"Is that so?" Bethany took a sip of water with some loss in her eyes.
Me.Sue opened a thermos box.“ Ms. Quest, you must be hungry. I have made some chicken soup. You should drink some."
“ Good. Thank you." Bethany nodded her head. She happened to be a little hungry.
Ms. Sue just sat at the side, smiling and watching her drink the soup.
Bethany was a little embarrassed under her gaze, so she slowed down the speed of drinking soup and asked, 'Ms. Sue, is there anything on my face?”
"Nothing l am just happy. Mr.Meyer has never cared so much about a person before,” she replied.
Bethany frowned slightly, “That is impossible. Isn't Miss Ferguson the one Mr. Meyer cares so much about?”
“Miss Ferguson ?” Ms. Sue's eyes flickered and then she shook her head in silence. It seemed that she had some secret that could not be told.
Bethany felt a little strange because Ms. Sue did not seem to agree with her words.
Was she thinking too much?
She stirred the chicken soup and pondered secretly.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and Ms. Sue went over to open it.
Davis followed her in. "Does the wound still hurt?”
Bethany touched her shoulder. "A little bit but it doesn't affect my movement."
