A nurse gave Sumr Lancaster a routine check-up. Aside from so bruises, there were no major issues. The nurse advised her to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation before being discharged.
As she was leaving, she couldn’t help but sigh in disappointnt at Kenneth Yates.
"Kenneth Yates, you’re quite popular, aren’t you?" Sumr Lancaster said, raising an eyebrow with a smile.
"Of course. Your husband’s a real catch. You’d better cherish ."
Sumr Lancaster smiled. The man walked to her side and pulled her into his arms.
BANG! The door to the hospital room burst open, and Dominic Thorne and Ronan Jenkins stood there.
"Dominic, Ronan, what are you guys doing here?" Kenneth Yates quickly got off the bed.
"Boss, co out for a second." The three of them stepped outside the room. Inside, Sumr Lancaster felt a surge of anxiety. She had never seen such a grave expression on Dominic Thorne’s face. ’Did sothing happen?’
「Outside the hospital room」
"Dominic, what’s wrong?"
"Sean Murphy has been taken hostage." It was Ronan Jenkins who spoke. Kenneth Yates glanced at Ronan. ’He’s probably more terrified than anyone right now.’
"By who?"
"Carls."
"His demands?"
"You."
Kenneth Yates froze. ’He wants a trade? What does Carls want with ?’
"We’re heading back now. I’ll go tell Sumr Lancaster. You two head to the airport first. I’ll catch up with you in a bit."
"Okay." Dominic Thorne and Ronan Jenkins left. Kenneth Yates pushed open the door to the hospital room and walked in. "Sumr Lancaster, sothing urgent has co up and I have to leave. You need to take care of yourself."
"What is it?"
"Business," Kenneth Yates said as he turned to leave.
"Kenneth Yates!" Sumr Lancaster called out to him.
"What?"
"You have to co back safe." For so reason, Sumr Lancaster had a feeling that wherever he was going, it was going to be very dangerous.
"I will!" Kenneth Yates ran out of the room, leaving Sumr Lancaster alone, her mind a tangled ss of thoughts.
Kenneth Yates drove quickly and soon caught up with Dominic Thorne and the others. Then, they took a helicopter to Francelia.
Not long after, lody Donovan arrived at the hospital. Sumr Lancaster was surprised to see her, as she hadn’t told her about her injury.
"What are you doing here?"
"I went to your company to look for you, and your colleagues told you were injured and in the hospital. When I got here, I overheard a few nurses talking about Kenneth Yates, so I went and asked. That’s how I found out you were in this room. Why didn’t you tell you were hurt?" lody Donovan sat down in the chair by the bed, her tone reproachful.
"I just didn’t want to worry you," Sumr Lancaster explained quickly. It wasn’t like she had a serious illness; there was no need to make a big fuss and tell everyone.
lody Donovan didn’t say anything, just stared into space. Normally, lody would be chattering away nonstop, but today she was acting strange.
"lody, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
"Lancaster, have you seen Dominic Thorne in the past few days?" lody Donovan looked up at her.
"I just saw him a little while ago. Why? Oh, right, that day Kenneth Yates took away... what happened with you two after that?" Sumr Lancaster didn’t want them to get too involved. Dominic Thorne wasn’t soone who would commit emotionally.
"That day, we... we slept together. After that, I never saw him again," lody Donovan said, lowering her head.
"What? Is he an animal? How could he do sothing so outrageous after only eting you once?" Seeing the sad look on her face, Sumr Lancaster truly regretted not having ruined their blind date.
"No, no," lody Donovan quickly denied. "That night... I think I said so things. It’s all my fault!" lody covered her forehead with her hand, a look of regret on her face. ’Will Dominic Thorne hate because of this...?’
