“We were preparing to move first, right? Eric had set up traps for us and we were going to proceed with Wilson’s plan. Eric was deliberately trying to figure out our forces as well. But before the two sides could move, there was a sudden gunshot. That was Kayden.
“Afterwards, she even wounded several capable men beside Eric, causing a lack of personnel protecting him. Eric had to change the tactical formation he’d just sit, with his first priority to protect himself. That gave us an opening, so our people went with the plan to move against Eric’s people, trying to get in there and extract Emilia.
“There were a lot of traps inside the factory, but Kayden told us about several, then destroyed several more, so our side didn’t sustain serious injuries. Finally, Kayden rescued Emilia, and I chose to trust her… you know about what happened later on. You brought Emilia and Kayden to the hospital, and we stayed behind and continued to fight Eric’s men. A cornered animal is at its most dangerous, but Eric is just too devious of a person. I wanted to deal with him and have him disappear from this world.
“He’s not to be underestimated, though. He managed to escape with his bodyguards escorting him. We can be sure that we’ve devastated his elite forces, though. Even if he does want to come to us for revenge, it’ll take a year or so.”
Georgia didn’t know whether to rejoice at that or not. With Eric’s personality, so long as he had a bit of strength left, he’d come back to make trouble for them.
They were at a do or die scenario now.
Eric was sick himself, and he just wanted to take Robert and use his body to research medication for his own body.
Unless Eric agreed to cooperate in research, the feud wasn’t going to stop.
They’d already tried it today, though, and it was impossible to negotiate with Eric.
Georgia ended up talking about Kayden’s injury and surgery. Since Kayden hadn’t woken up at all, they still had no way of knowing why Kayden was helping them.
As for Emilia, it seemed like she’d only sustained external injuries, but her facial injuries still required professional help to try and heal.
It was also possible that she’d been injected with drugs to harm her body, and it all rested on the report tomorrow.
That night, Emilia’s parents arrived.
As they went to Emilia’s room to check on her, they ran into Ivan.
Ivan went on his knee before the pair.
“Mr. and Mrs. Powell, I’ve known Emilia since several years ago. I like her and I’m willing to take care of her for the rest of her life. No matter what her condition is when she wakes up, I won’t hide on like a coward, and I’ll court her bravely.”
Emilia’s parents were a bit taken aback, but the two of them were more worried about Emilia’s current wounds.
There were clear injuries on her face and body, and the parents didn’t look happy.
They weren’t even halfway interested in Ivan’s talk of love.
“My daughter is a free spirit. If she wants to be with you after waking up, I won’t refuse, but if she doesn’t, she’s free to do so as well. Thank you for caring for her and protecting her, Ivan, but even with her in such a state, the Powell family can still let her live on without worry. She doesn’t need your pity. It might be wrong of me to say so, but even though Emilia looks seriously injured, it’s not for us to interfere with her wishes.”
Margie said to Ivan.
Ivan hurriedly explained.
“I didn’t speak clearly about it, sir, ma’am. I just wanted to have a chance at courting Emilia. As for Emilia’s wounds on her body and face, I know some experts in the field, and I can take them over to help her.”
“Thank you for that.”
Oscar nodded at Ivan.
“We want to stay in our daughter’s room for a while. Could you leave for a moment?”
Margie said that, and Ivan could only leave helplessly.
