All the gazes fell on him in unison.
“Just now the bodyguard called. Something happened to them... They are on the way to the hospital
now...”
One figure rushed past him. Feeling the wind, Boyce found that Matthew had already vanished.
Boyce returned to his senses, turning around and trotting out.
“Let’s follow them.” Jayden also followed them in a hurry.
Matthew was driving, and Boyce was sitting on the passenger seat with his hands grabbed the safety
handle tightly. It was the rush hour in the daytime, but Matthew sped up the car to a hundred yards.
Boyce wondered if he would die before arriving at the hospital.
“Slow down. It’s too dangerous...”
Creak--
Before he finished his reminder, the car braked so suddenly. Behind the window, he could even smell
the burning stinky caused by the tire rubbing against the ground.
Boyce’s heart hammered. He dared not to look ahead. The car shuttled back and forth among the cars.
For several times, it almost bumped into cars on the street. Boyce was freaked out.
During the almost twenty minutes driving, Boyce felt as if it were half-century, which was way too
exciting, more than any risky games.
The care stopped in front of the hospital. Matthew got off. A security guard walked over and reminded,
“You can’t park here, Sir.”
Boyce tossed the key to the guard and rushed to follow Matthew.
When Dolores was rescued, she fainted. Victoria was still in the emergency room.
Fortunately, neither kid got hurt. Simona was frightened, nestling in Coral’s arms, trembling.
When seeing the man approaching from the corridor, Simona, who had been suppressing her emotion,
burst into tears. The quiet waiting area suddenly was fulfilled with her cry.
Matthew held her in his arms, pressing her head and comforting her in a soft tone, “Don’t be afraid,
Simona. Daddy is here.” While he spoke, he looked at the bodyguard next to them sharply. “Where is
she?”
“Missus is in the lounge. The doctor has checked her up. She’s fine. However...”
Upon hearing it, Matthew felt a bit relaxed. Putting on his arm on Samuel’s shoulder, he gave his ever-
calm son an embrace.
He felt extremely fortunate -- they were all fine.
He said in a hoarse tone, “Come on. Let’s go to check on your Mommy.”
Samuel didn’t move with reddish eyes. “Grandma is still in there. I’ll wait for her.”
Matthew frowned deeply. He didn’t know that Victoria was there as well.
He looked over at the bodyguards who were standing against the wall as if he was asking what
happened exactly.
One of them lowered his head, “Today Mrs. Nelson and Missus went out with the children. We drove
three vehicles. They were sitting in the minivan in the middle. We four were with them. When we were
passing FX road, the accident happened. There were too many people from the other party, and they
had planned ahead. While we were entangled by them, they took the chance to take Mrs. Nelson away.
When stopping them, we didn’t notice that Missus was held hostage. For her safety, Mrs. Nelson
agreed to go with them, but they didn’t release Missus...
“They drove away from the scene. Jack and I went to chase them. Later the car had an accident. When
we arrived, Missus had fainted, and Mrs. Nelson...”
The bodyguard bent down his head more. When they rescued Victoria from the car, she was soaking in
blood. Her back was badly mutilated. She was almost dying...
Matthew squinted at him, his relaxing face turning livid. Then his face was tightened abnormally as if he
was suppressing his extreme anger. He felt so difficult to breathe, and his eyes were burning. He
stared daggers at that bodyguard. “Go on!”
The bodyguard shivered, trembling all over.
Right then, the light above the door of the surgery turned from green to red suddenly. The door was slid
open. A doctor in a blue surgical gown came out. He took off his mask and bowed at the family who
was waiting. “I’m sorry, but we’ve tried our best. When the patient was sent here, she had stopped
breathing already. We have taken a series of measures for heart resuscitation but failed to save her.
She was too seriously injured. I’m sorry for your loss.”
Jayden, who had just arrived at the door of the surgery room, listened to the doctor and shook. Kevin
helped him up to avoid him from falling.
Samuel held Matthew’s leg, sobbing in a low voice. His shoulders kept heaving up and down, trembling
all over. He understood what the doctor had said.
He was so sad because he had understood those words.
Matthew also tightened his body. He even forgot that Samuel was still holding his leg. He rushed to the
doctor, grabbed his collar, and said with bloodshot eyes. “Repeat what you said just now!”
Boyce helped up Samuel, who almost fell, and passed him to Coral. He walked over and said,
“Matthew, calm down.”
The doctor’s face paled in fear. He tried to remain calm. Every time, when he announced the death of a
patient, he could always encounter the patient’s family who might lose his or her mind.
“We have tried our best,” the doctor uttered some words.
Matthew didn’t release his grasp on the doctor, but instead, it was more and more tightened. Blue veins
popped out on the back of his hand and his eyes were fully bloodshot. “I’m ordering you to rescue her!”
“Please calm down. You’ll frighten Simona. Right now we must look into the matter and find out the
manipulator.” Boyce grabbed his hand.
Matthew gradually looked over at him.
Boyce continued, “Would it be useful if you killed the doctor?”
“Daddy.” Simona wrapped her arms around his neck and sobbing in low voice. “I’m scared. Daddy,
don’t be angry, OK?”
Matthew closed his eyes. His tightened outline of the chin emanated the arctic coldness.
“Daddy.” He heard the child’s hoarse and trembling voice. Her face rubbed against his neck. “I’m
scared.”
In silence, he gradually released his hand, patting his daughter on her back. “Don’t be afraid.”
Boyce immediately asked the doctor to leave.
He tried to hold Simona from Matthew’s arm. “Next, we may have a lot of work to do. I’ll send the
children back home and let the bodyguards and Coral take care of them.”
Simona didn’t want to let go. She wanted her Daddy.
“Simona, good girl. Daddy still needs to deal with a lot of things. He’ll go back to accompany you after
things are done.” Simona’s eyes and nose were reddened because of her weep. She asked in a hoarse
voice, “Daddy, will you come back to accompany me soon?”
When she asked, she kept sobbing.
Matthew answered extremely hoarsely, “I will.”
Upon hearing her father’s promise, Simona finally let go of him. Boyce held her to the bodyguards and
ordered solemnly, “Make sure to take good care of them.”
Since such kind of thing happened, the bodyguards couldn’t help blaming themselves. “Yes, Mr.
Shawn. We will.”
After the children were sent back to the villa and Coral would take care of them, Boyce didn’t rest
assured at all. He called Armand and asked him to go to the villa as well.
He couldn’t tell Armand exactly what had happened, so he just briefed Armand about the situation. “I’m
still worried. Please go take care of them.”
Armand asked him to relax and agreed, so Boyce hung up the phone.
Victoria’s dead body hadn’t been sent to the mortuary yet. It was still in the ward for the time being.
The body was covered with a white cloth. Jayden was half-kneeling next to the bed, grabbing her cold
hand.
How he wished to warm up her cold body.
He shed tears in silence.
“You’ve promised to accompany me to the end. How could you dump me and leave me so suddenly?
You even didn’t say farewell to me...”
The man’s voice was lowered to the extreme, sobbing of grief.
