Chapter 618: Chapter 618: The Promise of This Man!
As he took each step out of the villa, his body suddenly swayed and he coughed, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Baron Lawrence didn’t pause and quickly walked to the car, supporting himself on the car door, he called the driver, “Come pick me up at the vacation villa, quickly.”
Soon, the driver arrived.
Seeing Baron’s injured state, the driver was shocked and hurried to help him, “My Lord, what has happened? How did you get injured so badly? I must take you to the hospital.”
The most painful part of being whipped wasn’t enduring the lashings, it was afterward when the wounds tore open, each second was a bone-eating torment.
Not to mention that he didn’t just have whip wounds but also numerous other injuries, large and small, overlapping each other.
His face was covered in cold sweat, the beads of sweat trickling down his contours. He didn’t go to the hospital with the driver and asked instead, “What time is it now?”
What did the lord need the time for?
The hospital was open 24 hours a day.
Although the driver did not understand, he quickly glanced at the time and said, “6 o’clock.”
“My Lord, please get in the car and let me take you to the hospital.”
Baron Lawrence clenched his jaw and gripped the car door without a word, enduring a wave of severe pain. Another drop of sweat rolled down his forehead and along his determined chin, hitting the ground. He ordered in a deep voice, “Go to the pharmacy and get some medicine for me to bandage myself temporarily, then go back to the hotel.”
Dinner was at 7 o’clock, and there was still an hour left.
“My Lord, your injuries are too severe. Let me take you to the hospital. A temporary bandage might not be able to stop the bleeding, and if it gets infected…”
“Enough of the nonsense! I promised Enna Clark that I would have dinner with her!” He was a businessman and a soldier, and keeping his word was of utmost importance. Since he had promised, he would do it even if he had to crawl!
And besides, if he went out and ended up in the hospital, that woman would cry!
He couldn’t bear to see Enna cry!
Seeing Enna’s tears would be even more painful than being stabbed twice with a knife!
“I must get to the hotel before 7 o’clock!”
His injuries were too severe, but the driver was not giving up, “My Lord, even if you couldn’t make it to dinner, Ms. Clark would understand once she knows the situation. Let me take you to the hospital, your injuries…”
The driver didn’t know what to say. Baron’s countless bruises aside, the three whip marks on his back alone would have him laid up for half a month in the hospital had it been just one lash. Fortunately, his usual physical conditioning allowed him to endure three lashes. But even with his great conditioning, something like this couldn’t be pushed further. The severity of the injuries required a hospital visit and a doctor to check him.
Baron Lawrence’s forehead was covered with fine sweat, and with agonizing pain, his muscles felt as if they were pulsating. The tearing wound could not stop bleeding, and he had already lost a lot of blood by now. His thin lips were pale from blood loss and pain, and seeing the driver still hesitating, his hawk-like eyes darkened, and he exploded in fury, “If you don’t want me to die, go get the medicine!”
If they didn’t go now, he didn’t even know if he could make it back to the hotel!
“Yes, sir.” The driver wanted to take him to the hospital, but seeing his rage, he dared not delay any longer. He quickly opened the car door, helped Baron Lawrence into the car, and then hurriedly went around to the front and closed the door.
Lincoln made a U-turn and sped away, disappearing in front of the villa…
…
The nearest pharmacy to the villa was in the City Center. After searching for a while, the driver finally found a large pharmacy.
He opened the car door, just about to go out and buy the medicine for Baron Lawrence.
