Gordon glanced at her before shifting his gaze elsewhere, "I'm hurt. I need to rest in the car for a bit"
“Uncle Bard's wife is still alive." Arabella didn't hide anything. Looking straight into his eyes, she
enunciated each word, "She's with Alexander. Uncle Bard has gone to demand her release. To prevent
their people from storming the hospital, I need to go there and watch over Grandpa.
“Mrs. Griffith is still alive? Can it be true?” Gordon was taken aback. After all the effort back in the day,
scouring high and low, and they hadn't found her, only for her to end up with Alexander.
It looked like tonight, it wasn't just Alexander who would pay the price, but all his men would be skinned
alive.
Hiding such a big secret from the boss, they really must be tired of living.
“Ms. Bella, let me take you to the hospital," Gordon said as he came back to reality, offering to help.
“There's no need, Uncle Bard asked you to rest."
“An extra assistant is always helpful, especially tonight. It's not like any other night. Your Grandpa's life
is the top priority, we can't afford any oversights. Let me accompany you, and I'll also call in some extra
help to ensure your and Mr. Darren's safety" Gordon insisted, even going so far as to open the car door
for her, urging her to get in.
Seeing his determination, Arabella got into the car.
Gordon was somewhat pleased and hurried to start the car.
The VIP floor of the hospital was so quiet one could only hear the sound of the receptionist flipping
through patient files.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a bunch of bodyguards tensed up, hands reaching for their
concealed blades, eyes fierce and unyielding, fixed on the elevator doors.
Seeing Arabella and Gordon step out, they quickly hid their weapons and bowed respectfully, "Ms.
Bella, Gordon, what brings you here?"
"I've got Jeni and Buss leading teams over here too. Everyone be on high alert tonight, and after
tonight, you can all rest easy."
Hearing Gordon's words, his men looked puzzled, "Gordon, what happened?"
Gordon shot him a look, “Don't ask what you don't need to know."
"Yes, sir."
Arabella headed towards the ward, with the on-call doctor and nurse following, "Ms. Bella, you're here."
"How's Grandpa doing today?"
“All good, just like you predicted. All his vital signs are within the normal range. Ms. Bella, your medical
skills are truly impressive. You could save him after he was injected with that substance."
"I just happened to be on the scene"
If not for the timely intervention, even a minute later might have been too late.
"Oh, right, here's Mr. Darren's report from today, the doctor handed the paperwork to Arabella.
“Leave us,’ Arabella said as she took the report and pushed open the ward door. Darren was sleeping
peacefully.
The four bodyguards inside the room, about to salute her, were silenced by Arabella's soft command,
"Don't wake Grandpa"
“Yes, ma'am; they whispered back, resuming their statue-like vigil in each corner of the room.
Arabella made sure Darren's blanket was snug and then sat by the bed, quietly flipping through the
report.
As Gordon finished giving instructions and entered the room, he caught sight of Arabella's serious
profile.
Under the dim light, every little movement of hers captivated him.
"Gordon"
It was only when a bodyguard greeted him softly that he snapped out of his reverie, realizing he had
lost his composure.
Fortunately, Arabella had been absorbed in the report and hadn't looked up.
Gordon felt his face warm up, turning to his men, "You guys keep watch outside. Ms. Bella and I are
enough here."
"Yes, sir’ the four bodyguards stepped out.
