Chapter 545 Got Hurt in the Forearm
Chapter 545 Got Hurt In the Forearm
Outside the ward, August heard a loud crash in the ward when he was on the phone. His instinct warned him something was amiss then he approached the ward in his wheelchair with all his might.
Zane standing at the doorway was confused when he saw August. "President Adams, aren't you inside the ward? I thought it was you who was talking to Lucia in the sick room..."
Then, he pointed a finger at the ward.
August creased his eyebrows tightly. It upset him no end to hear what Zane had said. He then made an attempt to break into the ward, only to find the door was locked from the inside.
Instantly, he was seriously disturbed by the worry about Lucia. "Lucia!" he knocked hard at the door. "Open the door!"
But there was no answer to it.
August made a prompt decision, saying, "Kick down the door!"
Zane immediately acted as August ordered.
With the sound of a "Bang", the door was kicked down..
August then made his way into it in his wheelchair. when he got in it, he was visibly shocked by what he saw.
Lucia was held at a dagger by Jeff lying on the sickbed and the dagger with a sharp blade nicked the porcelain skin of
Lucia on her neck and drew blood.
August frowned in agony and within seconds he said to Zane, "Hold the door and nobody shall come in!"
Zane turned around to guard the door at August's command.
There were the three after Zane left.
The atmosphere crackled with tension. August spoke first with deliberate efforts to suppress his anger, "Jeff, let go of her."
Jeff didn't do as told, instead, he uttered through his clenched teeth, "Mr. Adams, Mr. Makoto is dead! It's all her fault!" August shook his head at him slowly while turning his wheelchair. "No, it's not her fault! You have to trust me, she is not the man who caused the death of Mr. Makoto..."
"No! I don't believe what you say!" Anger and desperation glittered in his eyes as he said nastily, "I must avenge Mr. Makoto's death on her! I'll bring those responsible to my justice! I'll kill them all with my own hands! Then I'll myself!"
"Then how about Garnett and other kids?" August said, signing. "What do you think they do after your death? They are all so young..."
The mere mention of those little monks caused a suspicion of hesitation in his mind, but August didn't expect that Jeff
was too stubborn to be mollified. "I can't take care of them anymore..." Jeff shook his head painfully.
"Jeff, just think about it, who gonna take on the responsibility to foster Garnett now that Mr. Makoto is dead? You are the
only hope of their futures, and Mr. Makoto would rather see them grow into men successfully than see you kill..." "Jeff, listen to me, put down the dagger..." August edged a little closer and closer to Jeff as he said.
"Stop there!" Jeff almost lost his grip on himself. "I don't trust you either!"
But August didn't stop as he asked, he continued to creep toward them inch by inch. "Jeff, listen, hand me your dagger, ok?
Lucia was stiffened and paralyzed with fear while her heart was thumping violently with astonishment.
As August got closer to them, Jeff looked so nervous that he shouted uncontrollably, "Mr. Admas, don't do it anymore!
Back off! Or I can't guarantee what will happen to her!"
