Chapter 1268

Meanwhile, in City Hospital.

Just after two in the morning yesterday, Chloe Collins found Liam Locke in a dried-up ditch next to an abandoned factory five kilometers away from the Bush residence. He was badly injured, as if he’d taken a harsh fall from a high place.

After an emergency medical intervention, it was found that he had a broken calf bone and numerous external wounds. His condition is now stable, but he has yet to regain consciousness.

Outside the hospital ward, Chloe stood for a long time, without uttering a word, her gaze frightening.

Alexander Foster was by her side, having arranged for several doctors to take care of the young man.

He put his arm around her shoulder, softly comforting her, "The doctor just said that as long as he is well cared for, he will recover. Do not be anxious."

There were still dried bloodstains on her hands, tainted from Liam’s wounds.

She was very quiet and after a long while, finally spoke.

"It’s my fault. I insisted on him going out. I was too impatient," she said.

"He won’t blame you," Alexander gently soothed, looking into her eyes, "You couldn’t have known this would happen. Don’t put too much burden on yourself, okay?"

Chloe shook her head, feeling as if a weighty mountain lay heavy on her heart, "I must find out why he got injured. He was doing perfectly fine in his room, why would he suddenly run to such a faraway place? Moreover, even if he ran, he wouldn’t have fallen like this. He must have been too overwhelmed emotionally, hardly able to steady his steps, blindly running about. I must find out who caused him to collapse!"

Raising her eyes, she looked at him, "I need to go back to the Bush residence to clarify things."

As soon as she stated her decision, she immediately returned to the Bush’s.

At that time, Jerry River was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard when a servant came to announce the arrival of two visitors. His initial reaction was to refuse the encounter as he was not in the mood to entertain guests.

No sooner than he had voiced his decision than he spotted two slender silhouettes gently descending from the main gate roof, as if nymphs coming to earth.

He was bewildered and utterly envious of their extraordinary skills.

"You..."

Before he could finish, a slight figure appeared before him, her beautiful eyes piercing, making his heart skip a beat.

"Master Bush, I need to see the surveillance footage, so please cooperate," she demanded.

Jerry frowned, feeling the oppressive sensation one might feel when police came knocking at the door.

Five minutes later, he reluctantly brought out all the surveillance footage from last night to clear his name.

"There’s nothing wrong with the way I treated your friend. I personally arranged for him to stay in our best guest room, undisturbed, waiting for your arrival. His injuries have nothing to do with me."

Chloe, wordless, rapidly sifted through last night’s surveillance with the mouse cursor.

Soon, she locked onto the surveillance feed focused on the outside of the room.

After Liam entered, the door remained closed, he did not come out on his own initiative, until Mane York, from next door, arrived. For some unknown reason, she didn’t stay in her own room for long before storming out and banged on Liam’s door, accusing him of spying on her.

Soon after, she had someone open the door and she went in.

Approximately seven or eight minutes later, Liam came rushing out of the room, hands over his ears, screaming.

Seeing this, Jerry felt a sense of guilt.

"This... can only be explained as a misunderstanding. Mane misunderstood, but so did your friend. He should have clarified. Whatever was he doing running out like that?"

Chloe’s face turned cold as she released the mouse and stood up, saying in a cold tone, "Bring the maid from the surveillance here."

Seeing Chloe’s grim expression, Jerry averted his gaze, "She’s been fired."
