Arielle‘s heart skipped a beat. Oh, no. I think Vinson‘s on to me.
She tried her best to calm her nerves but to no avail.
“Nothing‘s wrong with me,” she finally said, taking a big gulp as she did. “I came to the hospital to visit Teddy‘s mother.”
“That‘s all?”
“Yes, that‘s all.”
“Okay, then I‘ll buy a flight ticket now.”
Arielle instantly reeled back. “What? Are you done with
work?”
“No, but I do want to see you. I‘ll return to Horington once I know you‘re all right.”.
Arielle bit her lips in exasperation. I knew it. Vinson‘s figured out that something‘s happened to me. I can‘t hide it from him any longer.
“Okay, okay. Something did happen to me earlier. But I‘ve been put on an IV drip, and I‘m fine now.”
“What happened?” Vinson asked, his voice low and deep.
Arielle couldn‘t help but let out a heavy sigh.
I‘ve done my darndest, yet I still can‘t hide anything
from Vinson.
“It‘s the Greenes… They‘ve put a target on me.”
Arielle quickly summarized how the Greenes had sent mercenaries after her and added, “I swear I didn‘t get hurt at all, so you don‘t have to make a trip back for me. Besides, I‘ve already approached the Specialized Forces. They were very respectful and have also gone along with my plan. They’re digging up information on the Greenes as we speak.”
Vinson replied coldly, “I got it. I guess it‘d be better to take you with me everywhere I go so others can’t take advantage of the situation. As for the Greenes, don‘t worry about it. I‘ll make sure they get what they deserve.”
