“Miss Lloyd is still on the island.”
“Get me there. Now.” Zacharias anxiously grabbed Freddie’s hand. “Arrange a helicopter for me.”
“Mr. Flintstone, the situation on the island is unclear, and the situation is not under control. You cannot return to the island at this time.” Freddie advised firmly.
“Fine. I’ll get there by myself.” After that, Zacharias promptly dashed out of the hospital.
“Mr. Flintstone! Mr. Flintstone…” Freddie immediately chased after him.
Just then, Freddie’s phone started ringing. He whisked it out, looked at the screen, and was pleasantly surprised. “Mr. Flintstone, Miss Lloyd is calling!”
Zacharias immediately spun on his heel upon hearing Freddie’s words before snatching Freddie’s phone and answering it eagerly, “Hello, Cheri! Is it you?”
“It’s me! I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Shirley’s voice came through.
Zacharias instantly breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good as long as you’re okay. Where are you?”
“I’m on the helicopter, heading toward the First Military Hospital.”
“Are you injured?” Zacharias’ heart clenched at the thought.
“It’s just superficial wounds.”
“Okay. I’ll wait for you.” He suppressed his almost frantic emotions while waiting for her to arrive.
“Okay.” She hung up the phone.
Zacharias handed the phone back to Freddie. It was only then that he realized that his neck was still sore. He rubbed it gently as he recalled Shirley’s actions that had knocked him out cold. He closed his eyes as a surge of anger rushed through his veins.
His frustration was not because she hit him but because she sent him away. He was upset because she had gone to such lengths alone and without backup.
An hour later, a helicopter landed on the helipad outside the hospital. Shirley stepped down from the helicopter, and the man, who had been eagerly waiting for her, rushed toward her.
The wind tousled her hair, causing her to look rather disheveled. Still, her face remained as beautiful as a rose. Although she looked like a mess, she was as gorgeous as ever. The man opened his arms and didn’t hesitate to embrace her tightly.
“Ouch!” Shirley immediately exclaimed in pain as he had accidentally tugged on her injury while hugging her.
It seemed that it was true that one tended to display a certain amount of vulnerability only before the person they trusted and loved.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
