Victor was about to speak when his phone rang. It was a phone call from Brenda.
"Hello? Aunt Church."
"Victor, bad news! Adonis is in danger now. Candace went out to buy something. I... don't know what to do now."
Victor's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "Aunt Church, don't worry. Hurry up and call Dr. Conley."
Brenda said anxiously, "Dr. Conley has sent Adonis into the operating room. He said that Adonis suffered from hydrocephalus and needed to have a surgery, but he had very feeble desire for survival. Dr. Conley was worried that Adonis couldn't make it."
"He will make it, Aunt Church. Don't worry. We'll be there soon."
After Victor hung up the phone, he immediately accelerated and rushed all the way to the hospital.
Eden did not ask. She knew that Adonis was in a bad condition.
They arrived at the hospital as fast as they could.
Brenda wiped her tears anxiously outside the cold operating room.
Eden found that Candace was not here. Only she could make Adonis have a thirst for life.
Eden asked, "Aunt Church, where is Candace?"
Brenda glanced at the elevator, "She said that the liquid detergent had been used up, so she let me take care of Adonis and went out to buy it. It has been twenty minutes, and she should have come back. The supermarket is downstairs. Did anything bad happen?"
Eden said, "Aunt Church, she should be fine. I'll go down and look for her. Victor, think of other ways. I will find Candace first and let her go in to accompany Adonis in a sterile gown. She is someone Adonis cares about the most, and she can make him have the will to survive."
"Okay. Eden, be careful."
Victor was in a hurry to transfer experts to the hospital.
Eden ran to the elevator.
When Brenda saw Victor and Eden, she was finally at ease, and she was not as restless as just now.
Eden called Candace but no one answered the phone. She kept calling her, but failed to get through.
She went all the way to the supermarket downstairs the hospital, only to find that Candace was not there.
Then she walked along the street to look for Candace. She was very important to Adonis at this time.
She trotted along the street, looking at the shops on both sides.
Suddenly, she saw two girls being surrounded by a group of hooligans at the corner of a restaurant.
Eden took a closer look and found that the back of one of them was very similar to Candace's.
She ran over in a hurry.
"Ladies, come with us and have a drink! We will be nice to you." A yellow-haired gangster said frivolously. With a wicked smile, he looked at the two girls who had been forced to the corner.
"Get out of my way! Don't you know that you're breaking the law?" One of the women roared angrily, glaring at the yellow-haired gangster with her eyes wide open.
"Breaking the law? Let me tell you. I am the law here. Many people here are under my control!" The yellow-haired man said in an extremely arrogant tone.
"Why should we talk so much nonsense with them? Hurry up and take them away. I haven't met such beautiful girls for a long time. This time, I will definitely enjoy myself on bed." One of the men looked at Candace's lovely face and almost drooled.
The two girls were both young and pretty, and their skin was fair and smooth. He was sexually aroused just by looking at them.
"You little b*stards! Didn't your parents teach you to be modest and courteous? A man should have backbone and stay true to himself in this mortal world. However, you are all jerks! You actually dare to harass women sexually in public! You are absolutely lawless!"
The gangsters were beaten and ran around.
Candace and the other girl were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and looked at Eden in disbelief.
The yellow-haired man hid far away, looked at Eden's crazy face and said with his face full of brutality, "You crazy woman! We didn't sexually harass you. Why do you have to meddle in our affairs? Do you want to die?"
Eden suddenly glared at him with sharp eyes and sneered heartlessly.
"If you dare to sexually harass me, I'll definitely give you a lesson. You'll be beaten black and blue!"
"Ha-ha..." The yellow-haired man sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? Those who dare to be arrogant in front of me will be killed within a day!"
"Really?" Eden smiled proudly, "Those who have offended me will all be punished. I have shot everything you did just now, and I have called the police. Would you like to take a gamble? Let's see who'll suffer."
The gangsters were flustered when they heard that Eden had called the police.
But they didn't want to give up so easily. It was not easy for them to meet two beautiful women, and they were reluctant to leave like this.
"I think we'd better leave. I've only been released for three days. I don't want to go to jail again." One of them said in fear.
"Let's go. We are unlucky today. Crazy woman! You'd better pray that we won't meet you in the future. Otherwise, you will definitely die!" The yellow-haired man glared at Eden viciously and then they ran away in a hurry.
Eden smiled mockingly.
Looking at their backs, she said casually, "They are really spineless. Only those who have backbones can strive to be strong and press on. They're just a group of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong."
