Rebirth: Dancing In My Destiny
Chapter 389: Ambushed

Chapter 389: Ambushed

There were only hospital beds and medical equipment around an empty room dominated by white paint.

The burly man and Gavin stood in silence. Neither of them said anything. It was as if they were drowning in their own thoughts. The tranquility of the room makes the room even more chilly. The only sound that could be heard was the usual ’beep-beep-beep’ in hospitals.

Gavin stares at the man lying motionless on the bed with a sad, worried, scared expression flashing through his eyes. No language can describe how Gavin feels right now.

After a few moments in silence...

Gavin finally turned his worried gaze to the burly man beside him, "Wolf! We have to notify the command center..."

The burly man’s deep eyes stared straight into Gavin’s eyes with an unreadable look before his deep-hoarse voice sounded, "Absolutely not! Have you forgotten!? What did the Chief say before he lost consciousness?"

Gavin rubbed the back of his neck as he took a deep breath. He was utterly speechless as if all the words he had in mind had suddenly disappeared.

"What’s going on here shouldn’t be leaking everywhere. Especially the Astington basecamp. You should know the reason why!?" Wolf sneered as he turned his gaze to the man on the bed.

Gavin knew why the Chief had asked them to keep this accident a secret. But he just wanted to tell the Astington office to be extra careful after their Chiefs were attacked in the Brooklyn area.

That well-calculated attack left Gavin and others unable to avoid a bloody battle—Ten against nearly 200 hundred people wielding advanced weapons attacking them.

If their Chief had not stepped in the battle, they all might perish by then. However, their Chief’s actions made the snipers lurking at some place take the opportunity to shoot him—causing him to be injured and require surgery. This bloody ambush also claimed several Silver Phoenix members’ lives.

When their Chief was shot, Gavin thought they wouldn’t escape from the place, but at the crucial moment, Wolf and his team arrived on the scene to save them from that massacre.

Remembering what happened that night made Gavin’s stomach stir. The gunshot wound on his hand couldn’t make him feel any pain, but the thought of his boss getting hurt and seeing his pale face could tear his heart.

Still vivid in Gavin’s mind before the Chief had surgery, he forbade them to tell anyone about this incident. Not even his wife—Chief could only speak a few words to his wife without revealing what he had been through.

Gavin just wanted to ask Oscar to check why their Chief’s identity was leaked. Their trip was top secret. No one knew where they were. Nevertheless, the attackers knew their movements, and success ambushed them in empty streets.

However, despite his curiosity, Gavin agreed with what Wolf said—He couldn’t disobey his Chief’s orders.

"You two need to take some more rest!" Suddenly an old man’s voice came from the door. "He will be fine, but he won’t be awake for the next few hours. So, leave this room and rest. Especially you, Gavin! You must be ready when your Chief wakes up. You must leave this country ...."

Gavin and the burly man were surprised to see a skinny, gray-haired man walking into the room.

"O-Old Master..." Gavin greeted him politely and immediately left the room, along with Wolf. They left the Old Master alone. He is now accompanying the motionless Evan Collins by himself.

The next day at Misty Mountain, near the Capital of Astington.

The cold air pierced Rose’s muscles and bones, making her wake up. She slowly opened her eyes. However, a blinding light obscured her vision. She closed her eyes tightly as she endured the chill that was now making her whole body shiver—it felt like all her muscles were frozen.

After a while, she was finally able to move her stiff body. She took the winter coat at the end of the bed and wrapped her tiny body.

"Is the room heater broken?" Rose muttered under her breath. Before she wanted to call Laura, her eyes stopped at the window.

She was dumbstruck.

No wonder the room that was supposed to be warm turned out to be very cold—it felt like she was camping at the North Pole in the middle of winter. Last night, she forgot to close the window.

Her mind was too busy thinking about Evan not calling her until the wee hours of the morning. She tried to call him a few times, but his cell phone was unreachable. But before she fell asleep, she received a text from Evan. He asks her to go to her parent’s house to celebrate Christmas with them. He also promised to be back soon.

Rose got out of bed and slowly dragged her feet to the window. After closing the window tightly, she stared at the sight that unfolded before her eyes—the clear blue sky and the snow-covered trees could make her mind calm and serene.

The chill that pierced her bones slowly disappeared—replaced with warmth.

Later...

Rose prepared herself to go to her parent’s house. She would have breakfast with them and stay there until her husband returned from his business trip.

Rose’s sudden departure to her parent’s house obviously worried Laura—especially since she found out yesterday that her young madam had met Carla Miller.

"Young madam, I will accompany you to stay there..." Laura felt reluctant to let her young madam leave the house early in the morning. She didn’t even have breakfast. It made the kindhearted assistant worry a lot.

Is the young madam angry that she decided to return to her parent’s house?

Laura wanted to ask but was worried that the young madam’s mood would be spoiled.

"No need, Laura. Don’t worry, I will take care of myself. Besides, there is my mother..." Rose smiled. "Why are you so worried? I only stayed there a few nights and will return when my husband returns from his business trip...."

"But, before the young master left the country, he told me to look after you. I am worried...."
