Chapter 141 We’ll All Be Fine
When Evan was accompanying Mr. Old Smith in the ward, he had put his phone in silent mode. After arriving at his office, he took out his phone to contact Suzy.
He frowned slightly when he saw that there were many calls from Tommy. He immediately called back, but no one answered the phone.
Evan didn’t think about it too much. The phone on his desk rang again two hours later.
It was from Ervin.
Evan picked it up.
“Evan, something happened…”
—
Evan left the Hughes Group and was rushed to the hospital.
Ervin walked out of the ward.
Evan looked at him and asked in a low voice, “What happened?”
Ervin, who had just finished his surgery, felt weak all over, and his face was full of dullness. He pursed his lips and responded, “I checked the room at noon. When I returned to the office, I saw Tommy and Marian being shot. They fell in my office.”
Evan was shocked. “How are they now?”
“Tommy was shot in the brain and was rescued. But if he can’t survive the dangerous period during the day, he will…”
Moreover, even if he could survive the day, his brain would be damaged, and Tommy would be in a vegetative state. He might not wake up in the future. Ervin’s eyes were slightly red, and he continued, “Marian was shot in the abdomen. Her heart was not hurt, and she will wake up later.”
Evan was in a freezing aura, and his eyes were red.
“Who did it?”
Ervin shook his head.
At this time, Ervin’s assistant ran over in a hurry. “Mr. Chaplin, the surveillance video has been deleted.”
In an instant, Ervin was shocked.
“Deleted?”
The assistant nodded slowly. “We’ve also checked on Mr. Rodriguez’s room. There were no footprints or fingerprints of a third person in your office.”
Evan and Ervin’s faces darkened.
An hour later, in the ward, Marian slowly opened her eyes. There was a tearing pain all over her body.
Ervin hurried forward and asked, “Marian, how are you?”
Marian covered her abdomen with one hand and held Ervin’s hand with the other. Her face was pale, and her voice was full of powerlessness. “I’m fine. Where’s Tommy? How is he?”
“He…” Ervin lowered his head.
Evan stepped forward and asked in a cold voice, “Who did that?”
Marian did not dare to look into his eyes. “I don’t know. Tommy and I met in the parking lot. He’s looking for you.”
“Not long after we came to the office, two masked men came in and asked where Tommy’s stuff was.”
Marian endured the pain and continued, “We started to fight, but they are good at martial arts. We…”
Ervin hurriedly poured her a glass of water. Marian took it and asked anxiously, “Ervin, tell me, how is Tommy?”
Ervin lowered his head. “He… isn’t too good.”
Marian’s eyes were filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Where are those two men? Have you found them?”
Ervin shook his head. “They were very cautious. Not only did they delete the surveillance videos, but they also cleaned all fingerprints at the scene.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Marian’s face darkened.
Evan narrowed his eyes slightly; his expression was gloomy. Tommy and Marian were both the cream of the crop in the underworld. There were people that they couldn’t even defeat? And they were injured all over?
Who exactly are these two people?
Evan did not say anything else.
He left the office.
Marian looked at the man’s back and mocked herself.
He didn’t even say a word of concern to her.
At night, Marian left the hospital with a body full of injuries. She drove to an old community near the city.
She came to the fifth floor and knocked on the door.
A woman opened the door and looked at her outside, full of doubts.
“Who are you?”
“Hello, Mrs. Lewis. Have you seen this person before?”
Marian took out her phone and showed her Tommy’s photo.
Mrs. Lewis nodded slowly.
Marian did not wait for a response. She walked into the room and said coldly, “Are you sure that Mrs. Suzy was the one who adopted Yetta?”
Yes, I’m sure! That woman had a mole at the corner of her eye, which left a deep impression on me. When I saw her in the Carters Family that day, I recognized her immediately. She hasn’t changed for so many years. It must be her!
“I was searching for news of the Carters Family! Is Yetta Suzy?”
Marian lowered her head, and her voice grew colder.
“Mrs. Lewis, I want you to do me a favor.”
“After you finish it, I will give you ten times the price the man gave you!”
Tommy gave Mrs. Lewis seventy thousand dollars. Ten times would be seven hundred thousand!
For people like Mrs. Lewis, she couldn’t earn such an amount of money in her life. She would be rich!
“What do you want me to do?”
…
Suzy had been focused on editing the drama in the company. It was not until nine that she returned to Luxurious Garden.
After getting out of the car, she looked at her phone.
Evan hadn’t contacted her all day.
Suzy frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy.
She walked into the living room and frowned slightly when she saw the leather shoes on the shoe cabinet. She asked Mrs. Zellweger, “Mrs. Zellweger, is Evan back?”
“Yes! He has been here for an hour. He is in the garden!”
Hearing this, Suzy was even more unhappy. He had been back for an hour, but he didn’t come to find her. What the hell was he doing?
After putting down her bag, she walked to the garden.
On the stone chair, Evan was wearing a black shirt, and on the table next to him was a bottle of red wine that was about to be finished.
As she watched his lonely figure, Suzy’s frown deepened.
She returned to the living room and found a coat for him.
Suzy walked behind him and put the coat on him.
Evan came back to his senses and looked up at her. “You’re back.”
“Yes.” Suzy sat next to him. She looked at the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then at his gloomy face. Her eyes were full of worry. “What’s wrong?”
Evan was silent.
Suzy held his hand and continued to ask, “What happened?”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Evan’s eyes flickered slightly. In the end, he did not hide. “Someone barged into Ervin’s office at the hospital today and fought with Marian and Tommy.”
Suzy was not familiar with these two people, but she knew they were Evan’s good friends. She frowned slightly. From Evan’s expression, she could tell they were not in good condition.
As expected, Evan continued, “Tommy’s brain was shot. Ervin said that if he doesn’t make it past ten…”
Suzy held Evan in his arms and comforted him softly with his eyes closed, “He will be fine.”
“Yes.”
Ten o’clock.
Evan’s phone rang.
It was a call from Ervin. He knew what this call meant. Suzy glanced at him and slowly said, “Let me pick it up.”
“Okay.”
Suzy answered the phone, “Mr. Chaplin, how is Tommy?”
Hearing Suzy’s voice, Ervin paused for two seconds then said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Tommy’s condition has stabilized.”
Suzy let out a sigh of relief.
“His life is no longer in danger, but… I don’t know when he will wake up.”
“Okay, I see. Thank you.”
Hanging up the phone, Suzy met Evan’s gaze. “Tommy is fine.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Evan felt relieved.
As long as Tommy was all right.
Suzy hugged him tightly and continued to comfort him, “He will wake up. We will all be fine.”
