Chapter 129 Saved
“If it weren’t for your orders, my other clients wouldn’t have stopped working with me, and my wife wouldn’t have remarried another guy, nor would my company have gone bankrupt. Just because you said it’s my fault, my whole family is now in ruins.
My mother fell ill because she couldn’t handle the huge change, and she died because I had no money to pay for her treatment. Even the homeless think I’m trash now. Do you have any idea how hard life is for me? No, because you’re sitting on top of your throne, destroying our lives on a whim. You don’t care about us, and you ruined my family! I must have my revenge!”
Nicholas frowned. “This is your own fault.”
Lawrence agreed. The hell is with this guy? He’s a criminal, but he blamed the Sawyers for not covering it up for him? And he wants them to keep the partnership up? Does he think they’re idiots? His skewed values is the very reason his wife went with another guy, but he blames someone else for it? What an arse.
One of the officers was annoyed, so he interrupted, “Shut up. You can talk all you want after you come with us.”
The officers took the kidnappers away, but Lionel was still shouting. “As long as I live, I won’t let any of you off the hook! You love that kid, don’t you? Then keep a close eye on him, because he’s going to get it bad when I come out. Curse you and your company! I hope you go bankrupt! I hope your family falls apart like mine did.”
Nicholas ignored him. Just a dying man’s empty threats. Tessa was the person he should be paying attention to. She had fainted from the pain of her injuries, and Nicholas picked her up. “To the hospital.”
Timothy was also tearing up, and he followed Nicholas.
Kieran checked on the boy once more. It was lucky that the kidnappers didn’t hurt him, and Tessa protected him before he was injured. He was fine, though he was out of breath from all the crying. Kieran was about to catch a break, but Gregory pointed at Tessa and sniffled. He wanted to follow them and was asking Kieran to carry him, so Kieran picked him up and chased after them.
They went straight to the hospital, and Kieran called the medical staff on the way so they could get prepared.
…
Thanks to the police cars, they came to the hospital soon after, and the moment they got out, Tessa was surrounded by the medical staff who took her to the operating theatre.
Timothy was pacing back and forth outside the theatre, and he kept looking at the glaring light above the doors. “Will she be fine?”
Gregory started crying again after he finally stopped. “Miss Tessa… Daddy, she’ll be fine, right? I’m scared.”
Nicholas was inscrutable. He held the boy who was crying on his shoulders. “It’s alright. I’ll make sure she’s fine.”
Kieran had been tense until that moment. Now that he had calmed down, he looked at his brother, feeling a bit confused. Hm, nothing wrong with that. He’s a responsible man, and he didn’t say that just to calm Gregory down.
Tessa was hurt because she wanted to protect him. But for some reason, he thought Nicholas was acting weird. He’s different from how he used to be. He had a lot of questions, but he knew he shouldn’t talk about that right now, so he opened his mouth just to swallow his words in the end.
