Grey drove so fast that he almost hit cars from behind.
Whenever he drove past the cars, they would horn out loud or give him the fuck-up sign but Grey didn't care.
The only thing on his mind was Aphrodite.He hurried inside the hospital.He hesitated briefly when he entered the ward.
Aphrodite was on the bed, lifelessly.She wasn't moving an inch and several machines were attached to her body.
Grey nearly stopped breathing.How could he have allowed something of such to happen to her? Charles was in front of her bed, with his head hung strangely.
"What the fuck happened to her?" Grey muttered.
Charles jerked back at this, then looked back at Grey.He stood up and stepped aside.
"Grey?"
Grey unconsciously took the mask off his face, as he moved even closer to Aphrodite.His heart skipped several beats.
"Is it so bad? Why does she need oxygen?"
He muttered, in a shaky voice.
Charles didn't talk, he didn't even know what he was supposed to say.
Grey ignored him and regarded Aphrodite for another moment.
There were bruises on her face and her head was bandaged.
That aside, her left arm was bandaged.
"What's her state? Why is she not opening her eyes?" He looked at Charles, frustrated.
"Will you answer my fucking question, Charles?" He yelled The door opened and a nurse rushed inside.
"What? You can't shout here.I'm sorry but you have to leave now."
Grey sent her an icy glare.
"Leave!"
He ordered under his breath, with a scary face.
The nurse trembled briefly.
Charles turned to him.
"Leave like he had said if you value your life."
The nurse regarded Grey for a moment, then Charles before she rushed out of the room.
Grey took two long strides closer to Charles.
"What the fuck happened to her? And who did this?"
Charles released a sigh.
"Dante called me.She met her in the hallway, with the bag of your suit.I think Giovanni's men attacked her. The only confusing part in all of this is the fact that the bag of the suit was
untampered with.I'm yet to discover what really happened.The men would have taken the suit if they saw it.So, it means someone else placed the bag in the hallway."
Grey thought for a moment, as an idea came to his mind.
"The CCTV camera," he muttered.
"Stay here, I will be back," he said quickly and started out of the room.
Charles hurried after him.
"Grey, calm down!" He moved to his front and stopped him from proceeding.
"Calm down? I will kill Giovanni tonight, by myself if he's really the one that did this to Novia." Charles scoffed.
"And so what? Will you enter his territory? And you think he wouldn't kill you first? Have you forgotten he's seriously guarded? He might kill you first."
Hot anger flashed across Grey's eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made this very difficult.I could have killed him at the party.I could!"
