Chapter 298 - Over There

"Vincent, I can't go back for the time being. I still have something to do."

Vincent seemed to know what he was worried about and nodded. He said calmly, "Leave it to me."

Although Ethen oddly sensed that Vincent seemed to be trying to send him away, he held back from asking more questions and just nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, he saw a beautiful figure outside the ward. He turned around and laughed. "Vincent, who is that girl? How come she peeks at you every day?"

Vincent pretended to fall asleep as if he hadn't heard it.

Ethen shrugged and went out. Rex nodded at him and watched him leave before closing the door and walking in.

Vincent didn't open his eyes. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"One of our Guards sent a message." Rex lowered his head and said, "Maury suddenly fainted and is being rescued in the hospital."

"Beverly?" Vincent slightly opened his eyes and looked over, frowned slightly.

"It should be." Rex said.

"Find someone to keep an eye on her, and have someone help her covertly if necessary."

Naturally, he referred to the little Hulk.

"Yes!"

Waiting until no more orders, Rex turned around to leave with a subtle expression. He thought that Mr. Vincent should be impatient to go back on hearing this news. He didn't expect Vincent to be so calm.

Lying on the bed, Vincent took out his phone and opened the SMS chat interface. He saw two messages from Emily and Rex's reply, "I'm fine."

Holding his phone, he did not type a single word.

The moment he was shot, he truly realized how dangerous it was for Emily to impose his feelings on her. He seemed to be in the center of the storm and would end tragically at any time.

To her, their relationship had no guarantee.

After thinking quietly for a moment, Vincent called Rex in and instructed, "Call Abel Baker."

Abel was Vincent's private lawyer.

Rex asked in confusion, "Mr. Vincent, what happened?"

Vincent said indifferently, "I want to change my will."

Rex, "..."

"Book a flight for the day after tomorrow." Vincent said without raising his head.

Rex thought to himself that Mr. Vincent really missed the little Hulk. While he was still thinking, Vincent said in a low voice, "I'll go over there."

Over there.

Rex was silent. Sure enough, Mr. Vincent got injured on purpose this time in order to go over there.

...

The City Hospital, City Y

Eliot and Emily all went to the hospital, leaving behind a large group of employees confused and restless. It was Matthew who came out to pacify them and hosted the annual meeting before he went to the hospital.

Maury had been transferred to the ward.

Emily and Elsie were at the side. Eliot was asking the doctor about his condition, while Beverly was standing at the door. A nurse pushed a cart in from afar. It was the medicine for Maury.

Beverly took a step closer to her and asked with concern, "Is it for my husband?"

"Yes." The nurse replied.

There were two bags of liquid medicine in the sterile box, two small bottles on the side, a set of disposable syringes, a box of iodine, and a box of cotton swabs. There were also hand sanitizer and a set of medical gloves hanging beside the cart.

There was no place for her to mess about.

Beverly smiled and welcomed the nurse in. Eliot looked at her seriously. Beverly was guilty and unconsciously lowered her head. Eliot only thought that she was guilty of fainting her father, so he felt guilty without thinking twice.

Emily, however, stared at Beverly for a while before looking away as if nothing had happened.

The nurse pushed the cart in and stood by the bed. As she started mixing the medication, the doctor walked over to check the medicine in the cart and said to Eliot, "Ring the bell if you need anything."

Then he walked out.

The nurse patted the back of Maury's hand, stabbed the needle in and covered it with a medical tape.

"Are you hungry? I'll go buy some food." Eliot broke the silence first. He looked at Emily and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Emily shook her head.

Eliot didn't say anything else. After asking Elsie, he turned around and left, directly ignoring Beverly.

A few minutes later, Matthew also came in. He was on a crutch and wearing a formal suit, only his grey hair a little messy. He was unhappy on seeing Beverly, but Maury's condition was much more important than this shameless daughter-in-law. Therefore, he asked Elsie, "What did the doctor say?"

Elsie only heard a few words, but Matthew didn't like people to stutter. She told everything she knew, "The doctor said it was because he was too furious that he had signs of a stroke, but it's not for sure. It could be the aging of other organs in his body that affects the functions, like a temporary failure or something ... It would be clear when dad woke up."

Matthew sighed with relief. After all, he was old. He was exhausted to rush over and relieved to know Maury was fine. He looked to the side and saw Emily stand aside to offer the seat to him.

He sat down and looked at Maury on the bed leaning on his crutch.

Beverly was anxious about Matthew's long stay. She had no chance to mess about.

The ward was eerily quiet. But not long after, someone knocked at the door. They thought it would have been Eliot. Unexpectedly, two policemen walked in when the door opened.

"Excuse me, may I ask who Beverly is?"
