Chapter 256

When I heard that, my legs wobbled. The man next to me grabbed me right away. I tried to get myself together and hurriedly left with Joseph. However, Joseph did not immediately close the door when we got into the car. "Why aren't we leaving yet?" I asked, perplexed.

To that, Joseph responded, "Mr. Xenos is heading this way. I believe he wants to go to the hospital with you."

"Close the door," I instructed, but Joseph hesitated. "Miss, I…"

Joseph used to work for Shawn, so I could understand why he was afraid of him. As a result, I decided to shut the door myself. Just as I was about to do so, Shawn's palm stopped the door from closing. Stunned, I inquired, "What are you up to?"

He ignored me and got into the car right away.

I was at a loss for words.

He repeatedly ignored me, as if he had reverted to his reticent self. I found this to be extremely frustrating.

"This is my car," I reminded him, to which he asked candidly in response, "Aren't you worried about your good friend?"

I was at a loss for words once again.

I didn't have time to waste on him, so I told the driver to start driving right away. We arrived at the hospital not long after. Right after we arrived, I dashed to the operating room and saw Rudy standing by the door.

He was drenched in May's blood!

Everyone was hoping for May's survival at this point, and no one was wondering who was responsible for the explosion. May, however, remained in the operating room until after midnight. Surprisingly, Shawn did not leave the hospital.

May emerged from the operating room at 4.00AM. I saw her, her eyes tightly shut and her face covered in explosion scars. My heart was overflowing with pity and compassion at this time. As I called out her name, tears began to flow from my eyes, but she did not respond.

"How's her situation?" Rudy asked the doctor.

"Her condition is not life-threatening for the time being, and she will most likely regain consciousness tomorrow. But the scars on her face are permanent. Numerous stone fragments blasted into her leg as well, and cavities were left when the stones were removed."

I understood what the doctor meant; a scar was left for every stone removed.

But, thankfully, her life was no longer in danger.

I felt relieved. I then sat in the hospital corridor next to Shawn, as I decided to leave Rudy with May alone.

"Aren't you going in to see her?" Shawn asked, his voice soft.

I shook my head in response. "Rudy is the person she needs now."

At that, Shawn rose to his feet. "Follow me home, then."

How could I possibly follow him home at this point?

Thus, I declined. "I'm going back to the apartment later."

Shawn pursed his lips when he heard that. "When did my words mean so little? Ray, don't make me carry you back home," he said dismissively.























































What a tyrannical man he was!

No, I'm not going back with him! Otherwise, the show I put on earlier with Nicholas would be meaningless!

I stood up and said to Joseph, "Let's go home."

Shawn, however, instructed Joseph, "Leave us alone."

Joseph did not dare to move an inch. He was caught between Shawn and me, but in comparison, he listened to Shawn more.

Hence, he quickly left after a brief period of standing there motionless.

That left me completely speechless.

Joseph was such a betrayer!

I then walked alone to the hospital's entrance. Joseph was standing there. I told him once more that we were going home but he hesitatingly looked at Shawn, who was standing behind me, and said in a crying tone, "Miss, I am terrified of Boss. Could you please let me off this time?"

He addressed Shawn as his boss…

Seeing him behaving in such a manner, I couldn't bear making things difficult for him any longer.

Thus, I said, "Give me the car keys."

Feeling perturbed, Joseph handed the car keys to me when Shawn wasn't looking at us. With the car keys, I found the car shortly after.

I then opened the door, got into the car, and drove away from the hospital.

Being able to get away from Shawn made me relieved.

I didn't return to the apartment in the city. Instead, as the sun was rising, I drove back to the villa on top of the hill while Joseph trailed behind me.

When I arrived at the villa, the sun was already shining brightly. I got out of the car and started walking toward the front door. When I arrived on the lawn, my heart skipped a beat when I noticed a helicopter. "Whose helicopter is that?" I quickly asked Joseph, who had just caught up with me.

"I have no idea either," Joseph replied in a puzzled tone.

I hesitated for a moment before entering the house. When I saw the man leisurely sitting on the sofa, I exclaimed in frustration, "Why are you so annoying?!"

He was well aware of my whereabouts!

He even flew directly to the villa in a helicopter!

Shawn threw a stern glare at me and said, "You're so rude."
