Chapter 1108
When she started to feel anxious, Bernard, who had sent people to look for Liana, hung up the phone, turned around to face an
angry Aidyn, “Are you going to investigate it yourself?”
Aldyn clenched his fists and shook his head. “Mr. Laurence, I need to go back to the Howell family’ Some problems needed to be
resolved, or else, he and his cousin would be disturbed by the Howell family for their whole livest
After pondering for a few seconds, Bernard arranged a team of bodyguards for Aidyn to go settle those scores with the Howell
family
After Aidyn left. Bernard had no intention of staying at the hospital for long. Holding Eleanor’s hand, before leaving, he glanced at
Cedric sitting in front of the hospital bed, “I’ll notify you when we find her”
Cedric, who had been worried about Chase’s injury, looked up when he saw Bernard was about to leave, noticing Sigrid standing
at the door, clutching her purse with a clueless look on her face
It seemed like he just realized something, and immediately got up, “Oh, I have an emergency too, Sigrid, could you look after
Chase for me?” Then, regardless of whether Sigrid agreed, he directly picked up his jacket and followed Bernard out.
Downstairs, Cedric stopped Hailey. “I’ve had a few drinks, still a bit tipsy. Could you drive me home?”
Hailey glanced at Eleanor, who was already sitting in the car waiting for her, “You should let the bodyguards take you, I need to
go back with Eleanor and wait for news about Liana...
Seeing Cedric’s plan failed, he was a bit disappointed, but didn’t make a scene. He called for a bodyguard to get in the car with
him and rolled up the car window.
As the car drove by. Hailey lowered her head. Eleanor, noticing, caressed her hand, but didn’t say anything or ask any questions.
As a friend, you need to give the other person some mental space and not pry into their business too much.
After everyone left, Sigrid walked up to Chase with her purse, “You... are you okay?”
Chase didn’t expect her to come. His eyes showed a hopeful look, but he was afraid it would make her uncomfortable, so he
didn’t show it, “It’s just a minor injury, no big
deal.”
Compared to the few times he got stabbed for her in the past, this little injury was nothing.
Sigrid stared at him, still bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and after a while, she sat down beside the bed, “You’re not as
good a fighter as my brother, why do you get involved in other people’s battles?”
She put down her bag, took a piece of gauze, and handed it to Chase, “Wipe it off, the corners of your mouth are still bleeding.”
Chase instinctively looked at the blood dripping onto the blanket, he must look incredibly messed up right now, probably making
Sigrid uncomfortable. He hurriedly took th gauze and gave his mouth a quick wipe.
Seeing his face now smeared with blood, Sigrid frowned, took the gauze from him, “Never mind, I’ll do it.”
After taking it, she got up, went to the sink, moistened the gauze, came back and sat down, and carefully wiped off the blood
from the corner of his mouth.
Chase watched the woman caring for him, feeling as if he was on the edge of despair and then saw a door leading to darkness,
with sunshine shining through and warmin his heart. But he knew that Sigrid no longer loved him. She had come to see him,
stayed to take care of him, all because of what her parents had done wrong Although he had explained it clearly, but because of
this, Sigrid couldn’t completely cut off contact with him, at least not in situations where they had to interact. Chase thought that it
was nice to see her once in a while. He would leave completely only when she got married and spend the rest of his life alone.
She didn’t love him, he wouldn’t force her. But he knew without her, he would never marry. He hid this tenacious feeling deep in
his heart, he wouldn’t let Sigrid know, as long as she was happ
After Sigrid cleaned up the blood, she put down the gauze, “When did the doctor say you could be discharged?”
Chase snapped out of it, “In about three days.”
Sigrid nodded, glanced at the ward across, “Is someone looking after Mr. Webb?”
Chase replied, “He’s injured, I need to inform his parents, but they’re overseas and won’t be able to get here until tomorrow.”
He added, “Bernard also sent a couple of people to look after him.”
Sigrid nodded again, then sat back down, silently watching Chase.
Chase didn’t know what to say and was thinking of a topic when a nurse came in to check his blood pressure.
Seeing someone enter, Sigrid started chatting with the nurse, avoiding the awkwardness of being alone together.
