He quickly started the car and drove to Stella’s hospital while making a call to his assistant to handle the middle-aged man.
Seeing him hang up the phone and look at her, Harper lowered her eyes in insecurity, afraid to meet his gaze.
It seemed like Preston knew what she was thinking, he pursed his lips and didn’t ask anything, just focusing on driving.
When the car stopped at the entrance of Stella’s hospital, Harper lifted her eyes and looked at the man who quickly unbuckled her seatbelt.
“Preston, before he could touch me, I smashed his head with a stone.”
Preston’s fingers paused while unbuckling the seatbelt, he
lowered his head and looked at the pale-faced woman in front of him.
After staring at her for a few seconds, he didn’t say anything, but bent down to pick her up and rushed into the hospital.
Harper wanted to ask, “Do you believe me?”, but because he didn’t say anything, the words didn’t come out.
Preston also didn’t know why he didn’t answer her, he felt both heartbroken and angry towards her.
Angry at why she trusted Jayden, angry at why she didn’t get back together with him, angry at why she didn’t love him.
With these emotions, Preston carried her and rushed to the emergency doctor.
“Save her quickly!”
The doctor quickly examined Harper and arranged for nurses to take the patient into the examination room.
At the moment the examination room door closed, Preston leaned against the wall in exhaustion.
He looked at his blood-stained hands, tears uncontrollably falling.
He didn’t even know where she was injured, but she was covered in blood, not a single part of her body was unharmed.
He had never felt so heartbroken for a woman to the point of crying, Harper was the first. He hated himself for being like this, but had to admit that deep down in his heart, he couldn’t let go of Harper.
Stella heard the news and quickly rushed over.
Just as she was about to ask Preston what happened, she saw his
tears.
She frowned, walked past him, and quickly entered the
ination room.
She saw the doctor injecting a sedative into Harper’s arm, and her heart sank.
“Is the dosage too much?”
The female doctor didn’t lift her head and replied, “Not much, just need to took a while for the toxins to clear, and there are multiple external injuries, seems like she was in a struggle with someone.”
Harper had already passed out at this point, her face had been cleaned of blood by the nurses, revealing a small face that had been slapped multiple times.
Both sides of her face were swollen, with clear finger imprints overlapping each other. There were also marks on her delicate neck, indicating that someone had forcefully grabbed her neck.
Stella’s heart clenched when she saw these injuries.
She approached, lifted the coat covering Harper’s body, and saw that her clothes had been torn, with bruised and swollen skin exposed.
The skin was covered in numerous thorns, clearly indicating that she had been dragged into a thicket and subjected to violence.
