Chapter 48 Going To The Hotel 

“Take me away from this place,” Alex said to Jessica. 

“Okay,” she nodded in response. 

He handed his car keys to her and started walking towards his car. 

However, as he was badly injured, he lost his balance after taking two steps and almost fell down.

Alex had slightly greater strength than Freddie, but Freddie was a lot more experienced and his combat style was relentless. 

Although he had managed to wound Freddie severely, he had also sustained numerous injuries himself. 

Jessica rushed over to prevent his fall as her heart ached for him. 

After getting into the car, Jessica asked, “Mr. Jefferson, which hospital would you like to go to?” 

“Take me to a hotel,” said Alex. 

“Huh?” Jessica answered in a confused tone. Mr. Jefferson is injured so badly but he doesn’t want to go to a hospital? Why does he want to go to a hotel instead? 

That being said, she wasn’t the least worried about what Alex might do to her; she was simply perplexed. 

“I said take me to a hotel,” Alex repeated himself with a frown. 

“But…” Jessica stammered. 

“Don’t question me,” he said impatiently. 

Jessica had no choice but to drive him to a nearby hotel. 

Alex then took out his phone and called Flynn. 

“Hunt down a man named Freddie Moore. He’s a martial arts fighter in his forties and around 180cm tall. He’s also wearing a blue training suit and is severely injured. It doesn’t matter what you do. Just make sure he does not leave Nebula City alive,” he instructed Flynn. 

When Jessica heard that Alex wanted to kill someone, she panicked and almost hit another car. 

More questions and doubts surrounding Alex’s identity surfaced in her mind. 

“Drive carefully, and don’t reveal anything you see or hear today to anyone, especially Heather,” Alex said while scrunching his brows. 

“Understood,” Jessica answered. Spooked by the heartless look on his face, she quickly concentrated on driving. 

Nevertheless, she still could not shut out the doubts in her mind. 

A while later, Alex took out his phone and made another call, “Charlie, Susan has found me. Can you think of a way to hold them off for a few months?” 

“Mr. Jefferson, Susan is backed by the powerful Morrison family. I’m afraid we can only hold them off for

a few days. Even if your grandfather personally makes a move, the longest we can delay them is probably a month at most. However, it is unlikely that your grandfather will be willing to take action,” said Charlie. 

“Alright, don’t bother the old man then. Just hold them off for as long as you can,” said Alex before he hung up. 

If his grandfather were willing to take action, Susan wouldn’t even think of coming after him. 

But he knew very well that his grandfather wouldn’t help out in matters pertaining to his mother. 

He then made a third phone call. This time to Heather. 

When the call connected, he said, “Something popped up today and I probably won’t make it home tonight. Please get off work earlier and pick Stanley up.” 

“What are you so busy with that you can’t even go home tonight?” answered Heather in a displeased tone.
