A cruel smile spread across Christina’s face, her eyes hinting at a sinister intention. The crisis had been tamped down for now, but it was impossible to prevent the pathogenic bacteria from breaking out in just a few hours.
In six to eight hours, the pathogenic bacteria would spread rapidly, leading to numerous patients within the hospital becoming severely ill. This outbreak would not be contained, as the bacteria would continue to spread beyond the hospital walls.
So what if Roxanne is a capable doctor? Relying on traditional medicine alone is inefficient and even outdated. Acupuncture is just a psychological effect. Having made up her mind, Christina grinned and sauntered out of the building to head to the parking lot.
No sooner had she stepped out of the door than a few figures began to creep closer to her at an alarming speed.
“Confirmed. It’s her. Get her!” The leader of the bodyguards compared her to the photo on his phone and confirmed that this was their target. Mr. Farwell gave orders that we have to capture her swiftly if we see her even if it means engaging in a physical altercation.
He came prepared this time, bringing along a large group of subordinates with him in order to ensure that their target wouldn’t be able to escape as had happened in the past. The leader soon realized that Christina was unaccompanied, so he quickly put on his guard.
In an instant, Christina found herself surrounded by five or six intimidating figures. She jolted with fear as her eyes widened in shock. “You’re Christina Patel!” the bodyguard who first approached her yelled out loud.
Christina froze, but she quickly shook her head to deny it. Alas, her expression had betrayed her. The bodyguards stood resolutely in her way, their faces stern and unwavering. She felt a chill run down her spine as she met their gaze, her heart pounding in fear.
Feeling completely overwhelmed, she had no opportunity to comprehend the situation and, without thinking, she quickly grabbed her phone. I must report this to Mr. Goldstein immediately!
He’s the only one capable of saving me. Christina thought she was quick enough, but the bodyguards were even quicker. As they were veterans, their reflexes were incredibly sharp. Before she had the chance to use her phone, they snatched it from her hands. “Who are you? What is going on? Someone, help me!”
Christina could only scream for help, hoping to attract the attention of the bystanders. Nevertheless, the bodyguards didn’t take the time to even look at the spectators. Instead, they swiftly moved to strike her neck hard.
In an instant, Christina blacked out, and her body fell to the ground limply. Before she could land on the ground, two burly bodyguards swooped in and lifted her up onto their shoulders, quickly carrying her to the safety of their waiting vehicle.
The leader, aware that a number of people had their eyes fixed upon them, was intent on avoiding any potential problem for their employer. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him, and he roared out with urgency, “Quickly, get her to the hospital! She has fainted!”
“This is my younger sister who suffers from a mental disorder. After a long and desperate search, we have finally found her, so we are now taking her to the hospital located just across the street.”
With that, the bodyguards brought Christina to the hospital across the street hastily. Back in the hospital director’s office, Lucian’s phone began to ring. It was a call from the leader of the bodyguards.
He answered the call and placed his phone to his ear. “Mr. Farwell, we’ve just caught Christina Patel!” the leader reported solemnly.
“Good. Bring her to the director’s office!” Lucian ordered as his expression turned icy. I was right. Christina is behind this. Lucian knew Christina well enough to guess her next move. She was the type of person who relished standing atop a lofty place to bask in her own creation.
Consequently, Lucian commanded his bodyguards to divide into three separate groups in order to secure the entrances of the three high-rise buildings that stood across from the hospital.
It was a random thought, so he didn’t expect to capture their target so quickly.
