Chapter 408 Unavoidable Danger

Tessa was speechless.

I’m not even close to Victor; why do I have to go check on him?

合

Thinking back to the scene at Rivermount Airport, the man had been ruthless—but in the end, he had saved me.

Fine, I might as well go check on him.

“Why didn’t you take him to the hospital?”

As Tessa hurried downstairs, she questioned one of the kitchen staff.

The staff replied, “I don’t know.”

She was only a temporary worker, and the sight of blood had completely shaken her.

When Tessa reached the lower floor, she spotted the doctor working on Victor’s wound.

“We need the operating room. The bullet is lodged deep.”

Tessa was stunned.

Bullet?

He had gone out and ended up in another deadly encounter?

Was this even real? Stepping outside was like rolling the dice, but the odds of landing in danger were terrifyingly high.

She was numb just thinking about it.

This man was someone I should definitely avoid going out with in the future–far too risky.

One wrong move, and disaster struck. Who could handle that kind of tension?

Victor’s sharp gaze landed on her. “Come here.”

Tessa stared at him with shock.

“You should head to the operating room first.”

I hadn’t realized this villa had one.

Seeing his left shoulder soaked in blood, she felt herself get lightheaded. She was prone to fainting at the sight of blood- there was no way she could step forward.

Victor emanated danger from every inch of his body. Tessa’s legs felt weak, making her even more reluctant to approach him.

An hour later, Victor emerged from the operating room, his expression entirely composed.

Tessa had been waiting outside the entire time, cautious yet unable to leave.

Victor’s gaze

flickered when he saw her. “You stayed?”

His tone gave no hint of emotion.

Tessa swallowed and gave a small nod, her gaze drifting to the bandaged wound on his shoulder.

“The bullet’s out? Does it hurt?”

He had been shot.

In the world I used to know, I would never have imagined encountering something like this.

Yet here I am, witnessing it firsthand–living it.

NO

In my mind, a wound like his should have meant at least three days of unconsciousness, followed by a month of bed rest.

Yet Victor had simply walked out, looking perfectly fine.

Brutal. His nerves probably bypassed the entire pain system.

Victor studied her small, delicate face. His brow arched slightly. “Pain? Are you worried about me?”

Tessa was shocked.

I… worried about him?

She shook her head. “No.”

It was just a casual question.

Victor grabbed her chin in one swift motion. “Not worried? Then why wait outside the whole time?”

JTessa was speechless.

This man…

Behind them, Silas and Lewis stepped out of the operating room, still wearing their dark green surgical gowns.

Seeing Victor holding Tessa’s chin, Lewis instinctively remarked, “Victor, women like the gentle type–the kind Mr. Abraham is. Even the most ruthless men still treat women softly and gently.”

Abraham was the perfect example–Lewis had seen firsthand how tender he was toward Stella.

Victor and Silas were both speechless.

Silence hung heavy in the air.

Silas nearly turned to stone.

His head slowly tilted toward Lewis, his mind blank except for two words repeating over and over.

Insane, truly insane.

Lewis had lost his mind–not only daring to comment on Victor but also dragging Mr. Abraham into it.

He clearly had no regard for his own life.

Worse yet, Lewis had yet to realize the danger in the air and added, “If you scare her, you might end up without a wife.”

Silas instantly bolted.

“Victor, I just remembered something urgent. I’ll be off.”
