Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas didn’t get to see William’s injuries for himself. By the ti he had arrived at the fifth floor of Block 26 of Golden Garden Estate, William had already been sent to the hospital by Zach’s subordinates. He rely heard that William had been beaten up to the point of losing consciousness, so he reckoned that his injuries should be severe.
In fact, William was already in his fifties, so he must have been severely wounded after the harsh beating by the four strong bodyguards. Lucas was worried about him.
“Lucas, Dad woke up just now, and I accompanied him for a checkup in the hospital. He only suffered so abrasions and superficial tissue injuries. Although he still has to remain in the hospital to recuperate for a while, his internal organs and bones are fine. It’s a huge blessing!”
There was so relief and joy in Cheyenne’s voice, and she was imdiately much more relaxed after learning that there was nothing major wrong with William.
God knows how worried she was when they were rushing to the hospital. She had even made ntal preparations for the worst-case scenario.
Lucas finally felt relieved. “I’ve just finished dealing with the matters on my side. I’ll go to the hospital to pick you up now and visit William.”
“Is everything... okay on your side?” Cheyenne asked with so concern.
Previously, when they were outside William’s rented apartnt, she had heard that Sharon, Jas Wilson’s wife, who had beaten William up, had gone to the Douglases’ villa. She was now a little worried that Lucas would get into trouble with both the Wilsons and the Douglases, two of the most powerful families in Orange County. She was also worried that Lucas might go overboard and get into more trouble instead.
Lucas naturally wouldn’t tell Cheyenne that he had already torn off Chris’s hand. He said to her gently, “Don’t worry. It’s settled. Everything will be alright. I’ll co to the hospital to look for you soon.”
After Lucas ended the call, Zach was smart enough to tag along and said subserviently, “Mr. Gray, I’m familiar with the route to that hospital. Why don’t I send you there?”
After experiencing everything that happened just now, Zach was already in awe of Lucas.
When Lucas slapped Jas just for cursing at Zach, Zach felt especially touched, and he even made up his mind that he would stay by Lucas’s side and work for him.
Seeing this, Lucas smiled and tossed his car key over to him.
Zach caught the key gleefully and imdiately opened the doors of the Jaguar. After respectfully asking Lucas to enter, he walked to the driver’s seat and fastened his seatbelt.
He yelled at the redhead outside the car. “Go wait for at the cyber cafe!”
Then he stepped on the gas pedal and drove off with Lucas.
Zach was quite a good driver, and they soon arrived at the entrance of Orange Coast dical Center.
After Lucas alighted, he called Cheyenne and said, “I’m here. Which ward are you and William in?”
“We’re at Ward No. 15 on the ninth floor of the inpatient wing. Take the elevator up and walk all the way toward the left,” Cheyenne answered briefly.
“Okay, got it.”
After hanging up, Lucas walked toward the inpatient wing next to the outpatient wing of the hospital. Soon, he boarded the elevator to the ninth floor and found William’s ward.
In the ward, William was lying on a bed clad in a blue and white patient’s gown with his head wrapped in bandages. There were plasters and dressings on the various abrasions on his body, and the exposed skin of his body was bruised and swollen. He seed to be in a miserable state.
Fortunately, William was quite energetic. When he saw Lucas enter with a bag of fruits and supplents in hand, he couldn’t help saying with so heartache, “You’re already taking ti out of your busy schedule to visit . You didn’t have to buy anything. I’ve only suffered so abrasions. There’s no need for these health supplents.”
William’s speech was a little slow now, and his voice was very nasally too, probably because he had taken several painful punches to his nose.
Lucas put the fruits and health supplents on the bedside cabinet and said with a smile, “These things aren’t expensive anyway. You’re injured, so you should take more supplents to nourish your body so that you can recover sooner.”
As Lucas approached William, he carefully scrutinized William’s complexion and wounds. After seeing that there was indeed no major problem, he finally felt relieved.
William smiled bitterly. “Before you ca, I told Cheyenne to hurry back to work and not end up disrupting her work for .”
Lucas smiled. “William, don’t worry about it. You’re already injured. As your daughter and son-in-law, we should co here and take care of you. Family cos first. Besides, this isn’t taking up much ti anyway.”
Cheyenne also smiled. “Exactly. I’ve said it several tis before, but Dad keeps wanting to chase away.”
“I... I’m just worried that I might hold you up!” William said awkwardly.
Cheyenne peeled an apple and a banana and cut them and a waterlon into smaller pieces to make a simple fruit salad for William. She then fed it to him using a toothpick.
They chatted for a while, and during the conversation, William asked about Sharon and the n she had brought over to beat him up.
In front of Cheyenne, Lucas chose not to ntion that Sharon and Chris had cheated on Jas Wilson with each other. Instead, he briefly said that he had found Sharon’s husband, Jas, and told him to take his wife in hand, as well as the fact that Jas had chased Sharon out of Orange County.
“In short, you no longer have to worry about that malicious wench in the future anymore,” Lucas said.
“Well then... Will the Wilsons take it out on you?” asked William, who had the sa thoughts as Cheyenne.
“No, they wouldn’t dare to co after ,” Lucas said indifferently, his tone full of confidence and certainty.
Hearing this, William stopped asking questions. And deep down, he was even more satisfied with his son-in-law.
Cheyenne should be safe with a husband that even the Wilsons didn’t dare to provoke.
At noon, Charlotte also received the news and rushed to the hospital to see William. After William had lunch, he felt extrely uncomfortable, as if he had turned into a soft and feeble porcelain doll.
He racked his brains to think of a solution. But in the end, he sulked, and his daughters finally agreed to go to work and head back to the office.
But he couldn’t chase Lucas away.
“William, I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I’ll stay at the hospital to chat with you. If you want to rest now, I’ll take a walk around the hospital. If there’s anything, give a call, and I’ll rush over imdiately,” Lucas said insistently.
First, he indeed didn’t have anything important to do in the afternoon, and second, when Cheyenne just left, she was still particularly worried about William’s condition. So Lucas decided to stay here so that he could tell her about William’s condition from ti to ti in order to put her at ease.
William couldn’t convince Lucas, so he could only agree.
Soon, he fell asleep on the bed.
Seeing this, Lucas simply walked around the inpatient wing of the hospital.
When he passed by one of the wards, he suddenly heard a voice that sounded sowhat familiar.
“Dr. Jones, you must save my mother. I’ll try my best to get enough money for her dical bills as soon as possible. Please don’t terminate her treatnt!”
Lucas stopped and turned to look over curiously, only to see a familiar face facing a doctor in a white coat and pleading with him miserably.
