Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 851 What's Wrong With A Little Exploring

Anderson couldn't help but furrow his brows and ask, "Are you heading to a hospital or what? Your wound needs to be tended to immediately."

"It may not be safe to go to a hospital. Let's just head back to my place for now," Jonell said as he gritted his teeth in agony.

Anderson took out a syringe from his bag.

Jonell watched him prepare the syringe, and he asked, "What is that?"

"This should help with your pain," Anderson replied as he lowered his gaze.

Jonell only remained quiet.

He could feel the area around his wound numbed shortly after the injection, and his intense pain subsided.

Jonell closed his eyes to rest after so much suffering.

Jamie had a medical team extract the bullet fragments from Jonell when they returned to his residence.

Meanwhile, Anderson, who was standing at the door, was eyeballing Jonell's bodyguards. It was as if he was looking for the next prey.

The bodyguards couldn't stand it any longer.

"Stop staring, or we'll gouge your eyes out!"

"What a weirdo... You look like you're still underaged."

"Look elsewhere if you're interested in men. There's nothing to see here!"

...

Jonell could hear people shouting and cursing from outside shortly after he was done with his surgery.

"What's wrong?" Jonell asked.

Jamie left the room and returned with Anderson shortly after.

Anderson was frustrated as blood dripped from his nose. There were also bruises on his face.

Jonell said with a smile, "Look at you. What did I tell you? Looking at people the way you did is rude and offensive."

Jonell looked somewhat pleased.

Anderson glared at him and replied, "Do you have nothing to say about what they did to me? I only took a few glances, that's all!"

"Find out who did that to him and have them apologize to Anderson, Jamie. Beat them up if they refuse." Jonell's smile disappeared after saying that.

Jonell frowned and continued just as Anderson was about to speak, "Remember, just an apology will do. Nothing more. Go find someone who shares your taste if you truly wish to be with men!"

Then, Jonell had Jamie escort him out after seeing his disappointed look.

Finally, he could have some respite.

On the other hand, Anderson roamed around Jonell's estate as he had nothing better to do.

The asymmetrical building was built with interlocking blocks. It also featured large windows and stone walls that complemented each other very well.

The courtyard was filled with lush greenery. The extensive branches spread throughout a large portion of the courtyard.

"Don't wander around as you like!"

Jamie's warning interrupted Anderson's thoughts.

Anderson was on a stone-paved path when he heard that, and he turned back immediately.

"I've never seen a building like this before. What's wrong with a little exploring?" Anderson asked as he walked past Jamie.

Jamie followed him and answered, "This is Mr. Davidson's private residence. Let me know if you want to go anywhere around here. Don't wander off on your own."

Anderson was displeased, and he went to the living room with an ugly expression. Then, proceeded to his living quarters.

Three days later... Mike had arrived with his men.

Mike chuckled when he saw Anderson. "Hey, you did it. You saved this rich guy."

Jamie still harbored resentment toward Mike and his men as he learned that they had given up on Jonell back then. Only Anderson stayed and helped Jonell. Everyone else had left him to death.

However, he proceeded with the payment because of what Anderson had done at that instant.

Anderson was disrespectfully slapped lightly a few times, but he didn't retaliate in any manner. He only smiled slightly like a loyal dog waiting for merits after doing good deeds.

Jamie couldn't bear to watch it, so he stepped forward and said, "Your rooms are ready. Go take a shower and rest up. Dinner will be served soon."

Mike had a strong body odor, and Jamie was fed up.

"Okay!" Mike and his men grabbed their firearms and entered their respective rooms following that.

There was no one in the living room except for Jamie and Anderson. So, Jamie asked, "Why did you bring him here? Look at how he treated you!"

Anderson replied earnestly, "They are good with firearms. I am only a field medic at best, with them around. It will be difficult for you to steer clear of the assassins sent by Carl's family without them."

Jamie turned around after Anderson had returned to his room, and he saw Jonell, who was in the corridor of the second floor.

Jamie immediately went upstairs. "Mr. Davidson?"

"Don't bother with their internal affairs," Jonell said calmly.

Jonell was grateful to Anderson for his advice.

He would return the favor if anything were to happen to Anderson in the future.

The next day... Jonell was sitting at the dining table.

Mike looked at him and asked with a smile, "So, do you have any plans for the future, Mr. Davidson? We can't just stay here forever. We can only remain here for a month at most."

"Can you find out who the assassins sent by Carl's family are?" Jonell asked.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Are you kidding me, Mr. Davidson? We are only responsible for bodyguards' work. We are not here to gather intelligence," Mike answered.

Then, Jonell looked at Jamie. "How is the investigation going?"

"Our location may be exposed if we take action first," Jamie replied.

Jonell only remained silent with a cold expression.

"Things would be simple if we knew where they were," Mike said with a smile.

"Give him the address." Jonell had decided to give the assassins a lesson.

So, Jamie walked over to Mike and handed him a smartphone.

"All of you will follow me to take care of business tonight, except for Anderson!" Mike stood up as he ordered.

Jamie looked at Jonell with a lot on his mind as the men were preparing to leave. He had words right at the tip of his tongue, but they didn't come out due to his hesitations.
