"Dammit!" He threw the phone when he got a pessimistic response.
The driver flinched.
"If not for her having some backing, did she think I would let her act so wilfully at my place?" Mr. Ambrose loosened his tie and leaned back on the car seat.
His face was bruised and he could still feel the lingering ache in his body.
Mr. Ambrose could not remember when he had experienced such a humiliation ever since he took over the family business.
Adopted son. The second option. The stray dog. He had worked so hard over the years to get rid of every filth attached to him.
Yet, after all these years, a young girl actually managed to humiliate him at his own place.
’Screech’
The car came to an abrupt halt in the middle of an empty junction and Mr. Ambrose jerked forward, "You... What do you think you are doing?" He snarled at the driver.
But the driver paled as he looked ahead.
Two muscular men rushed forward and dragged Mr. Ambrose out of the car.
"You... What are you doing? Do you know who I am? I can finish you in a few seconds and... AHHHH!"
10 minutes later, both the muscular men got into the car and disappeared.
Mr. Ambrose’s driver who was shivering at a distant corner rushed forward towards him.
But the sight that he saw made his face pale.
Trembling, he dropped to his knees and checked the man’s breathing, "B-B-Boss..."
Mr. Ambrose’s eyes snapped open as he looked at the driver desperately, trying to speak.
But he could not utter a single word because his jaw... was dislocated. And both his hands laid limp by his side...
The driver’s entire body shook as he pulled out his phone,"City Hospital..."
...
While treating Adrian, Ronan had the habit of instructing Ji Yan about a few things here and there.
But for the first time, someone else was also present during Adrian’s treatment that was usually secretly handled.
Ella had paid attention to everything he mentioned.
And despite Ji Yan’s reluctance, she had convinced him that she would look after Adrian.
At first, Ji Yan was adamant to not leave Adrian in her care.
But then, he abruptly changed his mind.
After asking her to call for him the moment something happened, Ji Yan left the room.
It was past midnight, hours after Adrian’s treatment session, when Ella finished going through everything Ronan had mentioned to keep in mind while monitoring Adrian’s condition.
In a notepad, she jotted down every little detail, about his sleeping pattern, any signs of discomfort on his face, breathing etc.
After putting the notepad down, Ella sat next to Adrian on the bed.
The pair of stormy eyes that could cause terror just by one glimpse were closed peacefully.
His dark luscious hair fell over his forehead every time he tilted his head.
Ella raised her hand and gently removed his hair from his face.
Then, she got up and loosened the handcuffs that tied him to the bed with the keys that Ronan had provided.
Looking at the glaring cuts and opened flesh around his wrist, Ella’s fingers trembled.
This was probably the first time she seen such a wound on Adrian.
He was always protected, treated like a national treasure.
And not to mention that the man himself was such an entity that nobody would dare to cross him.
