Chapter 97

Penulis: Jean Shea
As Steven spoke, he retrieved his phone and tapped on it a couple of times. He saw a missed call from almost an hour ago.

Hesitating for a moment, he asked, "You called me around seven. Was there something you needed?"

Sheryl stopped arranging her clothes. She caught the probing tone in his voice. He was too sharp. She could have easily made up some excuse, but what about the bodyguards coming to help him? She simply couldn't explain that.

Steven's dark eyes were like an X-ray machine, scanning her to uncover the truth with just a glance.

The feeling wasn't pleasant.

Regardless of what reason or excuse she came up with, Steven could effortlessly break it down. If that was the case, why bother wasting words and effort?

"I know you want to ask how I found out, but I can't say. I don't mean any harm to you. I only took action today because this matter involves your life."

Her gaze was calm, her voice even, and her attitude straightforward.

Steven studied her expression but found n

    "Hold your girlfriend's hand, will you? This is the fourth time the IV's come loose. Her hand is still swollen. At this rate, I won't even know where to stick the next one." A nurse's exasperated voice could be heard from behind the curtain across from them.Sheryl didn't pay much attention at first. She was just about to step out to check which curtain Brandon and Vivian were behind when another familiar voice chimed in.A soft, pitiful female voice said, "I'm really sorry for the trouble. My head just hurts so much. Could you maybe give me a couple of painkillers?"The nurse sounded resigned. "I'll ask Dr. Wallace. If he approves, have your boyfriend pay the fee and pick it up from the pharmacy. Drink plenty of water, and don't cover yourself too tightly with the blanket. You've got two more IVs. They're slow drips, so that'll take another hour or two.""Thanks a lot," a calm, low male voice responded. "I'll go with you."Sheryl froze. It was Vivian and Brandon's voices.Steven

    "Don't move. Straighten it," the nurse reminded her.Sheryl was actually quite sensitive to pain. As a child, her parents had put in so much effort just to get her to endure the shots whenever she got sick.She silently inhaled, then slowly exhaled and straightened her leg. The small wound, still bleeding, stood out sharply on her slender leg. Steven frowned at the sight. He took just a brief look before quickly averting his gaze.Sheryl had two injuries on her leg. Neither of them were serious. Within a few minutes, the nurse had finished treating them.She applied gauze and gave her some instructions. "Try not to get these areas wet for the next few days. Walk slowly, and rest as much as possible. Apply medicine and disinfect once a day. In two or three days, it'll start to scab and itch as it heals. Don't scratch it. Bear with it.""Okay, thank you," Sheryl replied gently.The nurse then turned to the tall, handsome man beside her. She knew he had a girlfriend and didn't dar

    The nighttime temperatures in winter were already hovering around freezing, with daytime highs only a few degrees above. These past few days had been especially windy.Even so, Vivian actually stood in the cold wind for over an hour just to win Brandon back. Today, she had even insisted on going to work sick.Sheryl recalled seeing Vivian today, looking so frail she seemed like she could collapse from a gust of wind.She sneered. Vivian really did go all in.However, Sheryl felt a heaviness settle in her chest. Her heart ached a little. Brandon's heart still held a place for Vivian in the end. When he heard she was in the hospital, he couldn't bear to stay away. He actually came to be with her.'Where's the emergency department in this hospital?'Sheryl had never been here before. She glanced around but had no idea where the emergency department was.Just as she looked away, she was surprised to find Steven standing right in front of her. She hadn't even noticed him returning.

    Sheryl didn't know where she found such courage, but without even knowing what the liquid was, she rushed forward without hesitation and tried to push Steven away.Steven reacted quickly. With the incoming danger, he was extremely alert. But Sheryl's sudden charge caught him completely off guard.He instinctively pulled her into his arms, and just as the liquid was about to splash onto both of them, he spun around swiftly, losing balance and falling to the ground. He shielded her head with his fingers.The liquid spilled onto the ground. It instantly evaporated with a sizzling sound, releasing grayish-white smoke. Some splattered onto Sheryl's coat, burning and melting it at a frightening speed.It was sulfuric acid, and a highly concentrated formula at that."Take it off, quick!"Sheryl was about to move when Steven's urgent voice came from beside her. He was already pulling off her coat.Without hesitation, she cooperated and took off the coat before tossing it aside.Highly

    Sheryl had taken a cab from Ashland Road, and the ride had gone smoothly. By the time she reached Crosswood Parking Lot, she could already hear commotion in the distance.It was now seventeen past eight. Steven had definitely arrived and come face-to-face with the attacker by now. The bodyguards should have made it as well, but there was no telling what the situation actually looked like.She rushed toward the scene and saw Steven in a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Even under the dim streetlight, the distinct lines of his muscles were visible. His athletic body wrapped in tailored dress pants was both strong and elegant.A stocky, slightly heavyset man was being pinned down by two bodyguards, Paul and Wyatt Ross.Steven removed the man's hood, and when he saw the man's face, his expression instantly darkened. Before he could say a word, he heard footsteps approaching and turned around, only to see Sheryl hurrying toward him."Are you alright? Were you
