Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 How did this happen?

She was now wearing a patient gown, her work suit had been removed. Her face and torso had been fully cleaned of the powder. The paramedics had tried to clean it as best as they could after collecting samples for the doctors to test.

As my eyes scanned her body, I took in her injuries. Most noticeable was her leg which was in a cast and wrapped up. There were bandages on her arms that covered bruises. The injuries were consistent with those obtained from a fight. My heart sank in my chest at the thought of Jasmine fighting for her life.

Who had Diana sent to do this to you? I asked as my hand caressed her hair.

I then noticed that there were some red marks on her exposed neck. Before the collar of her blouse work suit had covered her neck and in a patient gown it was exposed. At first, I was worried there were more bruises and so I moved some of her hair, which was in the way, to closely inspect them.

My eyes darkened as I took them in, realizing they weren't bruises. They were hickeys…

One of my bodyguards then suddenly entered the room.

"Sir, there's a man who wants to see, Mrs Acland," he informed me. "He's causing a scene outside."

"Who is he?" I asked, but I already knew who it was.

"He says he is Louis Carrington, sir," he said.

Just as I suspected I thought to myself. I suppose it would be best for me to handle the situation.

I left the room where I heard someone yelling a short distance away.

"Let me see her!" I heard an annoying familiar voice say. I turned to look and found Louis trying to charge past my guards to see Jasmine.

My eyes narrowed as I stared at him.

"Keith!" he yelled out angrily his golden eyes meeting mine.

LOUIS' POV

My meeting finished a bit late. I was supposed to join Jasmine and Tony over an hour ago at the Cleaveland distribution, I thought to myself as I got into my car. The driver began making their way to the distribution center.

I took out my phone from my suit jacket pocket and decided to call Jasmine to see how far she was with the meeting or already. I tried to but it cut immediately saying she was on another call. I didn't think anything of it.

I was on my way anyway so I would talk to her when I got there. Upon arriving at the food center I was surprised when I found a small group of police cars in the area. My expression immediately dropped as I wondered what was happening.

"What happened here?" I uttered to myself as the car took a random parking spot near the building.

Exiting the car, I went towards the main entrance where I found the managing director, Mr Tindsor, talking to the police. As I approached he turned toward me.

"Ah, Mr Carrington you have arrived," the manager greeted me as he turned toward me.
