Chapter 273: I Am Coming Back

The next day, the air ambulance and the specialized team were arranged, and Aiden was transferred to the hospital where Caryn was. It was their safe base for the moment.

Eric, who had finally learned what had happened, was shocked to see Aiden lying almost lifeless in the hospital ICU bed. Leo explained to him how it had happened.

The shocked man felt conflicted about how to break the news to Caryn, who had already been restless over Aiden’s disappearance. But he had to tell her anyway.

Controlling his own emotions, Eric went to her. As usual, he saw her lying in her bed, silently looking out of the window.

"Caryn," Eric called her.

The woman didn’t look at him but instead said, "If you have no information about Aiden’s whereabouts yet, you can get lost."

"I... I came with information," Eric replied hesitantly.

She still didn’t look at him and asked in her usual cold tone, "Where is he?"

Eric swallowed hard before saying, "Here... in this hospital..."

"Tell him to come visit me right away," she said, still looking out of the window.

"He can’t come to you," Eric said.

There was silence for a while before Caryn finally turned to look at him. "What’s the matter?" For the past few days, she hadn’t had a good feeling and felt worried about what she was about to hear.

"He is gravely injured and is in the ICU after surgery," Eric replied, keeping his composure calm.
