Chapter 1573

On the way, he called Waverly several times, but no one answered. Wyatt stepped on the accelerator like mad, as anxious as a cat on hot bricks.

Had she been infuriated? How could she not mention such an important incident to him? He wondered where on her body the injury was. Was it serious?

When he arrived at the entrance of the company, Wyatt got out of the car right in time for him to receive a call from Seth. Locking the door, he couldn't help rolling his eyes. "I'm at the door. Your efficiency..."

What was the use of giving him the contact to her company right then?

"Boss, it's not that I'm slow in efficiency, but with your waves coming one after the other, you have to give me the chance to straighten them out for you! I asked about what happened last night. Miss Castle did encounter a robber on her way home. The robber was caught in no time. He's a local. It is said that there are no criminal records, but he owes tons of debts to credit cards, loans, and business owners. He couldn't afford to repay all the money, so he borrowed a few hundred dollars to solve a pressing issue. In addition to the trivials back at home, and the pressure from the need for money, he resorted to committing robbery out of muddle-headedness. He claimed not to have hurt Miss Castle on purpose. With how bitterly Miss Castle cried, he did not feel at ease either. In the end, he might have accidentally slashed his knife against her neck out of nervousness!"

"She must be frightened! What? Against her neck? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Could the robber control his strength in such a panic? It might be fatal!

Wyatt roared. Seth paused for two seconds before he hurriedly reassured Wyatt by saying, "It's fine! It's fine! The medical practitioners dealt with it, saying that the uppermost layer of the skin was torn and did not hurt the blood vessels..."

"I get it! Help me deal with the company's affairs. I won't go over today!"

After hanging up the phone, Wyatt went straight in. After asking around, he learned that Waverly had just arrived at the company. As she had to go on a business trip, she headed home to pack her luggage, so Wyatt went to her mansion without the slightest delay. He didn't have time to catch a breath throughout his entire process.

"Aunt McGowan, is Waverly at home?"

"Mr. Johnson?"

Upon seeing him at the door, Aunt McGowan was obviously shocked.

"Miss Castle went on a business trip! She came back to pack up and said she was in a hurry, so she left with a few clothes and a laptop. It wasn't long before she left!"

Another step too late!

All of a sudden, a piece of his heart seemed to have been ripped off as he felt empty and lost. "Oh, Aunt McGowan, is the wound on Waverly's neck serious? Is it serious?" One day and one night, Wyatt was at his wit's end. Right then, he was in no hurry to chase after her. He knew that even if he could catch up with her, he would not be able to have a proper talk with her.

"It's scabbed. If you take a closer and careful look, you can see the wound clearly. It's so long and shocking! Oh, last night, Miss Castle came back with gauze on her neck. I was shocked. Today, I took off the gauze and cleaned the wound, so it's a lot better. It's right on the neck. How dangerous it is! Fortunately, the robber didn't use too much strength. It's a little ugly though!"

Wyatt's heart ached with every word she said. He felt even worse and did not ask any more questions. "Mm, it's a blessing that she's fine!"

If anything were to have happened to her, he would never forgive himself in his lifetime!

At the thought of Waverly, a part of his heart softened.

"Aunt McGowan, sometimes I get dizzy when I'm busy, so I'm also a little careless. Waverly is proud and won't take the initiative to ask for help. If you need anything in the future, remember to remind me more. No matter what happens, I will try my best!"

No matter how inconvenient it was in the future, he would never neglect her call again!

She loved the fishes dearly, but they died not long after. She was really sad, so Mr. Harry told her to find a pet that's easier to raise, so he gave her a small tortoise! Miss Castle raised it for many years and loved it for a period of time. When she grew up, there were children who cried and insisted on asking for it. Miss Castle sent the tortoise away, and although she made a fuss several times, she never keep a pet tortoise again!
