Chapter 1526 Unimaginable
Not many knew about the assassination attempt on Arielle, for the king had made sure the news did not spread. Despite that, Xavier managed to find out about that incident from Lana. When he caught wind of it, he immediately called Harvey. When he realized that Harvey did not know what happened either, they both called Vinson to question him.
‘‘Why didn’t you tell me that there was an assassination attempt on Arielle?’‘ Harvey angrily asked.
Even though they’re married, I’m still their best friend, right? How could they keep this from me? Do they still think of me as their friend?
Vinson massaged his temples when he heard Harvey’s questions. He had been too preoccupied with his worries about Arielle that he had forgotten to inform Harvey about the matter.
‘‘I was too worried about Sannie, and that’s why I forgot to tell you about it. Sannie’s been shot twice, and she was transferred to the ICU after her surgery. She was only transferred out to a normal ward today.’‘
Harvey fell silent for a while after hearing his explanation. Then, he asked, ‘‘What about you? Are you hurt?’‘
Vinson hummed softly in response to his friend’s concern. ‘‘I was shot once, but the bullet didn’t pierce my bone. It was stuck in it. I’ve already undergone surgery to remove it, so don’t worry.’‘
‘‘Do you need me to do anything for you?’‘
The power they had was elsewhere. Even if Vinson needed their help, they would not be able to do much for him. Upon thinking about Arielle’s constant close calls, Vinson clenched his fists.
‘‘For now, no.’‘ Vinson turned quiet for a beat after that. Then he continued, ‘‘The king is already looking into her assassination attempt, but the traces of the assassin have been thoroughly removed. We can’t even begin finding who the one behind this is.’‘
It was up to fate whether or not he was going to cross paths with her again.
Meanwhile, the queen cried day and night in the palace. Two days before, she had asked her elder brother, Einbert, to search for Aaron. However, there was nothing but the wrecked car and the shocking bloodstains under the cliff.
Below the cliff was a raging river, and her brother had found a shoe on the riverbank. After checking things through, they confirmed that the shoe indeed belonged to Aaron. At that, the queen’s heart sank into the abyss. What were the chances of her son still living?
She dared not imagine the answer.
For the past two nights, she had not had any shut-eye. Even a brief moment of closing her eyes would result in dreams of Aaron shouting for help, bloodied and miserable.
