Chapter 70 Merlin‘s Checkup
“E–Silas…” Upon wiping away the blood over his eyes, Robin‘s mind went blank while he trembled as he turned around to get a clearer sight of the person before him.
“I‘m sure you have a death wish.” There was a bone–chilling quality to Silas‘s tone of voice as he wore a cold expression. The two other men crashed into Robin upon being kicked over by Gianna before he could give a response, while Robin cried out in pain as he nearly passed out.
While examining Gianna from head to toe, Silas could feel the lingering fear in his heart. There was also a sharp prickling sensation to his heart upon noticing that her hair was tousled, her clothes dirty, her wrists red due to the struggle during the strife.
“Are you alright?” He thus asked, to which Gianna shook her head in response. Despite the ensuing fury, he dared not imagine what would happen if he arrived even one second later. “Go get changed, then we‘ll go to the hospital for a check up.” He then made a call on his phone to have his men come over.
“I‘m alright, so we should pay your grandfather a visit first. Wait here while I go get changed.” Upon taking a deep breath, Gianna entered the room after having said so. The limp on her leg hurt as she sat down on the bed, but aside from the bruise that made it evident that she was hurt, she knew not how she hurt it. It was fortunate that her kids weren‘t home, or else she wouldn‘t manage to take care of everything on her own. After applying first aid to her wounds, Gianna put on a new pair of jeans before leaving her room. The living room was already cleaned when she got back out, and no trace of blood was left on the scene.
“I will somehow make this up to you!” There was an apologetic look in Silas‘s gaze as he looked at her from where he stood in the living room.
“It‘s fine. They already got their *ss kicked anyway.” Gianna took a deep breath before speaking.
“You need not concern yourself with the follow–up.” So was his reply. The both of them then drove to Nolan Residence.
After a couple of visits, Gianna was no stranger to the Nolan Residence. She saw Silas‘s father, Edward, who exuded an aura of superiority. Although Silas looked nothing like Brian, the both of them bore semblance to Edward.
“His age is catching up to him, so please treat him to the best of your abilities,” Edward said. “Worry not, as I will do my best,” Gianna responded in kind. If she were to be frank, she was no good at pleasantries, but nor did Edward say much else aside from reminding Silas to look into it before leaving the room. It didn‘t seem like Edward cared about the old man at all when compared to Silas, but Gianna chose to keep her silence upon noticing how unfazed Silas was.
