Vicky glanced at her phone and noticed that there was no text or phone call.
Knock, knock, knock! The knocking grew louder, and it sounded as though the person outside was about to barge in.
Since whoever was at the door had not said anything, Vicky dared not to make a sound, but the banging on the door simply grew louder as she refused to open the door.
Her heart sank at the trembling door and took out her phone to call Jackie, only to realize that she had no signal. 1
The person outside the door had clearly come prepared with a signal jammer.
Bang, bang, bang!
The noises grew louder, and she started to pant heavily.
Vicky hurried to the balcony and opened the window.
The apartment was located at least 10 stories high, and she would never be able to escape from the window.
Just then, a deafening sound pierced through the air as the door flew open.
Meanwhile, Harvey had made all arrangements and was about to head to the dock when he suddenly received a phone call.
A young woman’s voice rang, “Harvey Sparks, do you know that Gloria is back?!”
Harvey narrowed his eyes darkly as he recognized the voice. ‘What happened to her?”
He did not deny knowing that Gloria had returned.
“What happened to her? She was in a car accident and is now in the emergency room!” the woman gritted out.
He scowled. “Is it bad?”
“The doctors came and said that she’s been in critical condition twice! You know that she doesn’t know that many people here in Stoneford City since the Shaws fell! She’s finally overcome her demons and come home, yet you didn’t even bother to pick her up from the airport when you knew that she was alone. Do you know th-’
He interrupted her impatiently, “Where is she now?”
“She’s in the city center hospital right now!”
The flight from Jencity to Stoneford City took four hours, but it was Vicky instead of the time that Harvey was worried about.
Just as he hesitated, the woman shouted once again, “Harvey, what could be more important than Gloria’s life? If something happens to her, you might not even be able to see her for the last time.”
Harvey could leave with Vicky at any time, but the possibility of Gloria dying took precedence, so he made the decision right away. “I get it. I’ll come back as soon as possible.’
In the hospital.
A young woman ended the phone call smugly while an elegant woman stepped out of the ward behind her.
“Selene, we can go now.”
Selene turned around and said proudly, “Gloria, Harvey is on his way here to see you right now as soon as he heard that you’re injured!”
