Could it be that redith Sterling was taken away by thugs because she waited there too late?
She dared not think any further, turned around in a panic, and sat down on the sofa.
"Send soone to find her, Lan Yancy, you handle this. We must find her quickly."
Hugo Quinn’s voice remained steady, but his brows were already knitted.
Lan Yancy had already sent people to look, but those thugs were like foxes, impossible to catch in a short ti. All they could do was sit in the room and wait for news.
With each passing minute, Eleanor Hollis grew more anxious. If sothing happened to redith Sterling because of her, would it be her fault?
If she had inford Hugo Quinn after the eting that redith Sterling was waiting outside, perhaps the abduction wouldn’t have happened.
At ten o’clock in the evening, soone finally arrived with news that redith Sterling had been found, but her condition was very bad.
When the three rushed over, they finally understood how dire her situation was. At the ti of discovery, she was still being assaulted, and it had been going on for two or three hours. Now, she was sowhat dazed, continuously screaming and crying.
Eleanor Hollis slowly covered her mouth with her hand; the panic intensified as she saw the other’s disheveled state.
Hugo Quinn had already moved to redith Sterling’s side, supporting her onto the ambulance. People around cast sympathetic glances, everyone aware of how tragic her experience was this ti.
Eleanor Hollis’s limbs felt cold as she got on the vehicle, unable to utter a single word.
Once at the hospital, the doctor perford a simple cleaning on redith Sterling and then stated that her injuries were severe, affecting both her body and mind.
Hugo Quinn listened intently to the doctor and nodded, instructing the doctor to provide proper treatnt.
"Hugo, sobbing, Hugo save ..."
redith Sterling kept crying and saying, flailing her hands in the air wildly. Even sedation didn’t work, indicating the extent of the trauma.
Hugo Quinn glanced at Eleanor Hollis but didn’t step forward. Instead, he signaled Lan Yancy to stand in front of redith Sterling.
redith Sterling imdiately hugged Lan Yancy.
"Hugo, why didn’t you co to see ? I just wanted to say goodbye. I clearly asked Eleanor Hollis to pass you the ssage, sobbing, I waited a long ti. I just wanted to say goodbye and then leave the country. Why wouldn’t you give that chance? I wanted to return the check, and the tie clip you left in the hospital room, Hugo, sobbing, I really ant nothing else."
Hugo Quinn heard her words, his frown deepening, and then turned to look at Eleanor Hollis.
Eleanor Hollis’s limbs grew even colder under his gaze, and she could only open her mouth slowly.
"She went to your eting place in the afternoon and asked to convey a ssage, that she wanted to see you. I’m sorry, I forgot."
Eleanor Hollis slowly lowered her head, not daring to et his eyes.
This ti it was her mistake; she shouldn’t have forgotten it. She pursed her lips, not arguing because everything redith Sterling said was true.
"You forgot?"
Hugo Quinn’s voice was very calm, but to Eleanor Hollis, it felt cold, like it was laced with frost.
She truly forgot, distracted by the CEO’s words, with all thoughts focused on Hugo Quinn and unable to recall redith Sterling waiting outside. Besides, if it were any other woman, she probably wouldn’t want soone to be so close to her husband.
"Hmm."
She didn’t refute at all.
"Eleanor, do you know how much harm your forgetfulness caused her?"
Hugo Quinn wasn’t blaming her, just stating a fact.
But to Eleanor Hollis, it felt like bla.
Her face turned pale instantly, still not daring to raise her head to look at him.
"Stay here with her, I’ll head back first."
She walked out in embarrassnt, the mont she turned, tears started to fall.
Hugo Quinn stood still, contemplating whether his tone was too harsh just now.
"Hugo, sobbing, am I unclean now? I don’t want to live anymore, don’t want to live..."
redith Sterling began to struggle frantically, grabbed a nearby fruit knife, and stabbed it into her thigh.
The surrounding doctors scread and started to bandage her again.
Hugo Quinn suddenly felt annoyed, knowing this incident would surely leave a shadow on Eleanor Hollis’s mind. That woman was probably crying, but redith Sterling wasn’t easy to deal with either.
He stayed at the hospital until past midnight, only breathing a sigh of relief when redith Sterling was finally cald down.
As soon as he stepped out of the ward, a man approached, redith Sterling’s abusive husband.
Hugo Quinn’s face darkened; what was this man doing here? He didn’t expect him to be released from the police station so quickly.
"What did you do to my wife?!"
When the man learned of redith Sterling’s injuries, he raised a fist and swung it at Hugo Quinn. Hugo Quinn tilted his head, narrowly avoiding being hit.
"You beast! Aren’t you already married? Why are you still entangled with my wife? I’ll kill you today!!"
The man’s eyes were filled with jealousy. Thinking about how he stood by redith Sterling for so long, yet she never liked him and only thought about the man in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel sorrowful, jealousy flooding his heart.
Hugo Quinn felt no agitation, taking on the man’s blows, then kicked him hard, sending him flying.
He had no ti to ss around with this man; he needed to check on Eleanor.
The man lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood but not wailing, watching Hugo Quinn leave with bloodshot eyes.
The ward resounded with redith Sterling’s cries again, causing the man’s heart to tremble. He quickly got up and went into the ward.
He already knew about redith Sterling’s ordeal, but he didn’t mind at all. In fact, he had feelings for redith Sterling, it was just that he liked her too much and cared too much. That’s why, when he found out she had soone else in her heart, he hit her.
They’d been married for a year, and in that year, she refused even to kiss him.
Why? Clearly, he was the one by her side, so why did she keep thinking about Hugo Quinn?
Was it just because Hugo Quinn had money? But redith wasn’t that kind of girl.
"redith, don’t be afraid, I will always be by your side. Don’t be afraid, I won’t abandon you. Once you’re better, I’ll go abroad with you, and we’ll live a good life together."
When redith Sterling first went abroad, she faced many difficulties without family ties and, with her money stolen, life was tough. It was then that he fell for her.
She was strong, making one want to protect her.
redith Sterling hadn’t completely lost her mind. She heard the man’s words, but her heart was full of disdain.
What qualifications did this man have to say this to her? He wasn’t as good-looking as Hugo Quinn, nor did he have Hugo’s wealth. Besides his useless affection, there was nothing left. Unless she was blind, she’d never stay with such a man.
Only Hugo Quinn was worthy of her!
