One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 100 Up to No Good

“Something cropped up at my end. I’ll be back in the office tomorrow afternoon.” After explaining himself, Alexander hung up and slammed his foot on the accelerator to enter the highway.

It was already evening and the distance from Melrose City to Oreus was around 200 kilometers. Without stopping on the way, he arrived at the hospital two hours later.

After he reached the door of the ward, he heard Courtney’s shrill scream.

“What are you doing? Let me go!”

Without giving it a second thought, he opened the door and ran inside.

On the bed, a man with bandages on his head circled his arms around her waist. Even though the bandages had covered his face, it was clear that the man was quite good-looking. After she struggled to be free from his embrace, he actually jumped out of the bed to catch her.

Upon seeing that, Alexander’s expression immediately changed. In a few steps, he stepped forward and caught the man’s collar while using another hand to pin his arms to his back, making him scream in pain.

“Hey, let him go now. He just finished an operation. You can’t do this to him.” Courtney anxiously stomped on the ground. “Let him go!”

Alexander frowned as he threw the man onto the bed and coldly replied, “There’s no pity in seeing such a rude person dying.”

After the man heard Alexander’s words, he jolted in fear and climbed back to the bed. Then, he pulled the blanket over himself while only revealing a pair of eyes that darted around in anxiousness.

The room only returned to silence after that.

Courtney heaved a sigh of relief before looking at Alexander with mixed feelings. “Why are you here?”

“My employee has knocked someone over. I need to come over to take a look so that others won’t generate rumors and comments that couldn’t be prevented in the future.”

His reply was solid and firm; it even sounded slightly fierce. However, he was merely taking advantage of her inexperience in the company—since she had not been working in Sunhill Hotel for long, she did not know that there was a special department in the company to handle such matters.

It’s true that he ran to the road all of a sudden, so I didn’t have enough time to stop. However, I was also using my phone to navigate, so I have to bear some responsibility too.
