Chapter 53 Alston’s Rage
Dylan helped Helen sit on the bench and comforted her when she almost collapsed. “No matter how powerful
you are, you can’t fight the whole crowd. You came to seek me instead of stand against them, which was a wise move.”
“But Cynthia is still injured!” Helen covered her face and sobbed.
Dylan sat down beside her and leaned against the wall. “It was an accident that we hadn’t expected. Cynthia
is considerate, independent, and strong. You know her well, and you should know she won’t blame you!”
“I know. That’s why I feel guilty. If I was by her side…” Helen was emotional. She turned to look at Dylan in
tears but failed to finish her words.
Dylan somehow felt distressed. When he realized his feeling, he panicked, stood up quickly, and turned his
back to Helen.
Helen pursed her lips and lowered her head again. There was an awkward and slightly ambiguous
atmosphere between them for the first time. Nobody spoke again, and both of them remained silent.
A few minutes later, they heard someone rush over hurriedly.
It was Alston. He learned that Cynthia was injured during the meeting and rushed over immediately. He was
still wearing a suit, and his shirt was sweaty after running, which made him seem embarrassed and sexy.
“How… how is she!” Alston breathed heavily and grabbed Dylan’s collar.
Dylan felt the pressure on his neck and looked down. He frowned when he saw Alston clenching his collar as
hard as he could. “She’s still in the operating room. It’s been fifteen minutes, and she hasn’t come out yet.”
Alston frowned, and his eyes seemed to be covered with ice. “Aren’t you in the same hospital as her? Why
didn’t you protect her?”
“It’s my fault! I didn’t take good care of Cynthia!” Helen quickly stood up and looked at Alston with a pale face.
Alston ignored Helen and stared at Dylan. “I’ll settle the score with you later!”
Then, Alston let go of Dylan’s collar and guarded at the door of the operating room.
Thirty minutes later, the door finally opened, and the president came out wiping his sweat. As soon as he
came out, he saw Alston who was full of hostility. He was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack.
“Mr… Mr. Smith!”
“How’s Cynthia?” Alston glanced behind him.
The president replied immediately, “When Doctor Miller was pushed downstairs, she was hit on the back of her head. Fortunately, she knew how to reduce the damage, so she only has a slight concussion. But the wound on the back of her head is big and needs to be stitched. Be careful that she needs to eat simply and
rest well for a month.”
He explained the precautions, and Alston listened to him carefully. Then, Cynthia was sent out of the
operating room.
She was lying on the hospital bed, and her face was pale, without a trace of blood. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her head was wrapped in gauze. She was looking very fragile.
Alston felt very upset and even more distressed when he saw Cynthia defensively clenching her fists in a coma.
He stepped forward, gently held her hand, and carefully wrapped it in his palm.
Helen burst into tears again when she saw Cynthia. She didn’t understand why an excellent girl like Cynthia
would always get hurt. It was so unfair!
Cynthia’s accident had a big impact, so the hospital concealed it.
Alston feared that Lynn’s condition would worsen if she found out, so he blocked the news and arranged
Cynthia’s ward far away from Lynn’s
Cynthia was under anesthetic and still in a coma.
Alston looked at her for a while, then asked someone to take care of her before leaving. Helen and Dylan were standing at the door. Seeing Alston coming out gloomily, they hurriedly followed.
“Where’s that woman?” Alston’s gloomy voice was full of rage.
Dylan’s gentle and handsome face also turned cold. “In the morgue!”
Alston paused, then turned around to look at Dylan and narrowed his eyes.
