Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216 To Tell or Not to Tell

After a while, the police came to the scene of the crime. When they noticed that Alex was also injured, they didn't immediately assume that Alex had given Damian a one-sided beatdown. Instead, they immediately classified the case as a brawl between the two.

Later, Alex relayed to the police how that mysterious woman killed Damian and how he chased after her.

The police eventually concluded that Alex and Damian were indeed harmed by the same assassination weapon when they checked the wounds on their necks. After that, they retrieved the surveillance camera's footage and confirmed that Alex did fight the said woman. Hence, they finished recording Alex's statement in no time, eliminated him as a suspect, and simply requested him not to leave Mastar for the time being and cooperate with the authorities to catch the real murderer.

Sure enough, Alex also directed the lead to the upper-level management of the casino. Now that they had a woman behaving like an assassin and the darts as weapons, which is the most convincing evidence, the police will definitely apply for a warrant to search the casino.

After Peter saw the police off, he looked at Alex and asked, "So, can we go to the hospital now?"

Alex smiled. Indeed, I have to get my wound treated. Otherwise, Jewel will definitely be worried if she sees my injury. However, an overwhelming sense of self-blame, remorse, and hysteria engulfed him as soon as Alex thought of Jewel. As a result, he remained silent and down throughout the journey to the hospital.

When Peter sensed Alex was in a bad mood, he asked, "What's wrong?"


Since Alex didn't know how to explain this convoluted mess to Peter, he simply replied vaguely, "I have just found out something from Damian. I feel that I am greatly indebted to my girlfriend."

Even though Peter did not fully understand what Alex meant, he still comforted him, "Well, not everything Damian said might be true. So, take it with a pinch of salt. Make it up to your girlfriend if you feel you wronged her."

Alex simply hummed in response.

The two arrived at the hospital, and the doctor wrapped Alex's wounds in a bandage. According to the doctor, the injury on Alex's neck is merely a flesh wound and nothing serious. As for the stab wound on his waist, the doctor advised Alex to be hospitalized for two days to monitor the condition. Unfortunately, as Alex's mind was utterly preoccupied with Jewel, he couldn't possibly agree to the doctor's suggestion. Thus, he dismissed the doctor's advice without a single shred of hesitation. To his surprise, as soon as he got into the car with Peter, he received a call from Jewel.

As expected… Alex couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a slight smile when he saw the call. He swiped the answer button on the screen, and Jewel's voice immediately sounded, "Why aren't you back yet?"

Frankly, because Jewel's voice had just recovered, it sounded slightly hoarse and wasn't so pleasing to the ears when she talked. However, Alex didn't dislike it at all. He thought her voice sounded melodious. Alex didn't even notice that he had softened his tone as he replied, "You're probably anxious from waiting for me, right? I'm fine. I'm heading home now."

"Okay. I shall wait for you, then. You haven't eaten yet, right? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you," said Jewel.

"It's okay. I'll just have a bite of the leftovers at home," Alex declined.

Alas, Jewel grumbled with displeasure upon hearing that, "No, no. I can't allow that. Drive home safely while I cook some food for you." After that, she hung up the phone.

Peter noticed his change of mood as he smiled and asked, "Your girlfriend?"
