Chapter 434
Once they were in the apartment, Jackie contacted a doctor right away.
10 minutes later, a man in his thirties who wore a pair of frameless glasses stepped in with a briefcase in his hand.
The man seemed confused. “Harvey has always been swift… How did he get shot?’
Jackie glanced at Vicky, and so did the man. Instantly, he froze. ‘This is Miss Shaw…”
“Miss Vicky Shaw,” Jackie said.
Vicky noticed something odd about the doctor and Jackie but did not question them. Instead, she greeted the doctor politely. “Hello. I’m Vicky Shaw.’
The man smiled at her. ’Hello, Miss Shaw. My name is Alexander Raven.”
“Do you know me, Doctor Raven?’ she asked.
Alexander froze.
“Miss Shaw, Doctor Raven here is bad at memorizing faces and can’t tell people who look alike apart,” Jackie said. Seeing that Vicky wanted to continue the subject, he immediately urged, “Alexander, there’s no time to waste. Mister Sparks is waiting for you to remove the bullet in him.”
“Sure.” Alexander took one last glance at Vicky and said, “I will go check on him.”
Harvey had been shot in the arm, so the extraction went smoothly.
After the surgery, Alexander strolled out of the room and said to Jackie,” I’ve already taken the bullet out. Try your best to keep the wound away from water, and he needs to rest…”
Alexander seemed to know that it was unrealistic to ask Harvey to rest for too long and said, “Just stay still for at least a week.”
Jackie nodded. “How is Mister Sparks right now?”
“He is unconscious. It’s normal for people to come down with a fever when they’re shot, so someone has to remain by his side for the first three nights, ” Alexander said. “I’ll get him some medicine. Make sure you feed it to him on time every day. He’ll recover faster that way.”
“Water…” Harvey mumbled.
Soon, a glass of cool water was fed through his lips. Once the water was finished, he heard the soft, gentle voice of a woman saying, “Do you need more?”
Harvey slowly regained consciousness and saw a beautiful face before his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and muttered, ’Vicky…” novelbin
Vicky tested his temperature and was relieved. “Your fever has finally come down. Hang on. I’m going to get Mister Raven.”
Vicky hurried out of the room. Shortly after, Alexander and Jackie walked in.
Alexander ran a routine check on Harvey and smiled. ’Your fever has indeed come down. You’re past the critical phase now. All that’s left is for you to rest.”
Vicky noticed that Jackie needed to say something to Harvey and said, “I’ll go prepare some soup.”
Once she left, Alexander said, “Harvey, your fever burnt through a day and a night. Miss Shaw has been the one caring for you.’
Harvey was unconscious, and Jackie needed to take care of the follow-up while Alexander needed to check Harvey constantly to adjust his dosage of medicine, so the duty of taking care of Harvey fell upon Vicky.
The three had a silent agreement on what they were supposed to do, and Harvey was slightly taken by shock.
Alexander studied Harvey and said, “Harvey, she seems nice. Why did you give up on her and choose that woman all those years ago? That woman never loved you-“
“Alexander.’ Harvey interrupted him. “That’s in the past.”
“In the past?” Alexander sneered. “You’ve done quite a lot of stupid things forthat woman back then. Now that you’ve finally gotten out of prison, you went to Tyler Hart’s territory and abducted his wife. Are you sure you aren’t doing this for that woman? I told you before. If you’re willing to go that far for that woman, you should’ve just settled down with Vicky, but what did you do?”
