Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 559

His instinctive movement caught my attention. I looked at him in astonishment, "Atlas... you…"

"I'm fine..."

But as soon as he uttered those words, something was clearly wrong. His tall and straight figure leaned toward me, and I seemed to catch a whiff of a bloody smell.

Panicking, I shouted loudly, "Doctor!"

By the time the doctor arrived, he had already passed out.

The doctor cautiously conducted an examination and found an injury on his arm. It seemed to be a gunshot wound which had been hastily treated, and the blood on the bandage had partially coagulated.

The doctor cut off the bandage, treated the wound again, and administered an anti-inflammatory IV. Despite all this, he remained unconscious, completely unaware of everything that was happening around him.

After completing the examination, the doctor reassured me, "Don't worry. Mr. Atlas isn't in a coma; he's just in a deep sleep. Fortunately, the wound isn't infected, and the bullet seems to have grazed him. The wound isn't deep, and he should recover soon."

Only then did I feel at ease, but I still questioned it. He went to find the antidote, but how did he end up with a gunshot wound? Who injured him? Where was Dylan? Wasn't Dylan supposed to protect him? How did Dylan let him get hurt?

I truly couldn't fathom what happened during the 36 hours he was away.

Jared took care of Trinity, who had already recovered from danger, and came to Atlas's ward. He was still showing no signs of waking up.

Looking at the wound on his arm, Jared's eyes were calm. Despite its calm appearance, I was certain it was brewing a storm.

After a moment, he glanced at me and whispered, "You should take a break too. You've worked hard."

"Atlas, are you feeling better? Where did you go just now? Do you still feel uncomfortable after the shower? How did you get shot?"

I asked all the questions I had in one breath, and then answered his questions, "I made an appointment in Bourdamun. I left in a hurry without saying goodbye to you. Ryan came to pick me up, and we're on our way. Don't worry about me. I slept well."

"Wait for me to come back, just wait in the hospital. I probably can't make it back to Foswood today. Lauren will be back tomorrow at 4 p.m. I'll try my best to come back and pick her up."

After saying all that quickly, I added, “Oh right. How are you feeling today?”

After a moment of silence, he chuckled. "I'm fine. I've been sleep-deprived, but I've recovered with a good rest. Don't worry. I'll be waiting for you."

"Tell Mr. Jared that I'll be back to visit Trinity. I hope she's awake by then," I said, finally smiling in relief.
