I sighed, looking at Jack. “Jack, thank you for today. Your injury… it’s also because you were saving me. If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to call me.”
“Okay.”
Jack gave a gentle smile and glanced toward the emergency room. “Since Mr. Smith is here with you, I’ll leave for now. I’ll be in Jeswood for a while, so if you need anything, feel free to contact me.”
“Jack, take care of your injury.”
Frank casually placed a large hand on my shoulder. “If she needs anything, I’ll take care of it. It’s unlikely it will trouble Jack.”
Jack cocked his brows. “Well, I’m not sure about that.”
With that, he said his goodbyes and left.
Once he was gone, my thoughts were entirely on Grandma. I had no idea how things were going in the
emergency room.
According to K, the drug injected into Grandma shouldn’t cause immediate death. But if it was poison, getting the antidote wouldn’t be easy…
Thinking about this made me feel anxious.
The large hand resting on my shoulder tightened slightly. “Worried about Grandma?”
“Yeah.” I nodded, worried. “She was finally getting better, and now this happens. I don’t know if Grandma’s body can handle it…”
“Let’s wait for the doctor to come out and tell us what’s going on.”
Frank hugged me and smoothed out my slightly disheveled hair. “Don’t worry. Grandma is a lucky person. Even if something does happen, we can think of a solution together.”
Looking up into his eyes, I found some comfort and exhaled a deep breath. “Okay.”
Grandma hadn’t come out yet, but Alan arrived first.
Frank asked straightforwardly, “Didn’t catch him?”
“No.”
Alan lowered his head. “There’s a river behind the factory. He’s a good swimmer and jumped into the water. Our people searched from the beginning of the river to the end and couldn’t find him. We also searched the surrounding area thoroughly.”
“Frank, it’s my fault for not being thorough. I accept the punishment.”
“No rush.” Frank glanced at his watch. “Go back and search the area again later.”
Alan looked puzzled. “Search again?”
“The most dangerous place is often the safest.”

After explaining succinctly, Frank asked, “Did you get any information from his subordinates?”
“No.”
Alan shook his head, looking somewhat troubled. “I don’t know his background, and his subordinates were unusually tight–lipped! However, I did notice that all of them have the same tattoo on the inside of their arms.”
After leaving the hospital, Jack’s assistant was already waiting with the car at the entrance.
Once inside the car, Jack’s calm demeanor instantly vanished. He dialed a number and, gritting his teeth, asked, “Where?”
