“Speak up!” the captain of the bodyguards asked impatiently.
When they found Stanford entering a hospital, they caught up with him as fast as they could, intending to shoot the fish in the barrel.
If they couldn’t even catch him in this case, they would definitely be punished by Theodore according to the family rules.
A bodyguard replied, “We just found blood on the roof of the building. I think that they jumped from the roof to another building and ran away.”
“What? Damn it!”
The captain kicked over a chair with a furious face.
He did not expect that those three wounded people dared jump the roof.
“They are badly injured, and with Phoebe Jenkins, they won’t get too far. Hurry up and find them!”
As the captain commanded, all the bodyguards ran towards the roof of the hospital.
Stanford and Collin indeed jumped the roof. It was about two meters or so between the two buildings. Stanford jumped to the other building with Phoebe in his arms.
Due to this jump, his wounds tore once again and blood flowed out instantly.
Collin carried a bag of medicine and kept dispensing suitable medicine while running.
Standing on high ground, Stanford quickly made an escape plan. He took Collin around to a remote alley below.
When they reached the alley, Collin hurriedly handed him some medicine without even catching his breath.
“Stanford, feed her this.”
Stanford took the medicine and carefully fed it into Phoebe’s mouth without any hesitation.
However, she could not swallow it without water.
She frowned and muttered in pain, “It’s bitter, bitter…”
While saying that, she tried to spit it out.
Collin quickly shouted, “Don’t spit it out. It took me a while to make this.”
What they lacked most now was time.
However, she, who was half-conscious, could not hear him and was about to spit out the medicine by instinct.
Stanford looked serious, suddenly lowered his head and blocked her mouth with a kiss.
“Umm…” she murmured.
Stanford’s tongue moved forward forcefully in her mouth.
Though she wanted to resist, she was pressed by him and could do nothing.
Collin got speechless.
This new way of feeding medicine was WOW.
But why should he watch them like this under such circumstances, huh?
Stanford forced the medicine into her mouth and then continued to walk forward with her who was still dazed.
Every step he took, he left some dark blood under his feet.
Collin followed him with a bag around his neck, working on making more special medicine in his hand.
The medicine he got were the most ordinary ones just for daily use.
But after grinding and mixing some medicine together in proportion, it could create miracle.
Collin ground out another packet of powder and said to Stanford, “Stanford, apply this to your wound and it helps to stop the bleeding right away.”
Even if they had a good escape plan, those bodyguards would still follow with the blood trace.
They were gonna tag along.
He and Stanford actually had no way out. What they did now was just struggling. If they failed to lose those bodyguards, they would soon be captured by them.
Stanford stopped and took the powder. “What about you?”
“I will dispense some and it will be quick,” Collin said.
He then began to grind some medicine quickly.
As a doctor, he knew what to do best.
Stanford no longer said anything. He put Phoebe beside a parterre and then planned to handle his own wound.
At this time, she suddenly fell into his embrace and stared straight at him in a daze with her big eyes.
“Um, hug…”
Stanford’s hand jerked and almost spilled the powder.
Collin, who was busy with his work, grimaced and wanted to unhear that.
She still looked rather pale on the face. But after taking the medicine, her condition was better and she could mutter and talk.
However, she did not seem to have fully regained her consciousness.
With an aggrieved face, she murmured, “It hurts. Hug me…”
Her soft and sweet voice made Stanford unable to resist.
He even felt electric shock through his body and was sorry towards her.
He instantly reached out to hold her in his arms and said in a doting but stiff tone, “Okay, I will hold you. Soon you will feel fine.”
She then got a bit satisfied and tried to lift herself upward.
He feared that her move might make herself more uncomfortable and hurriedly supported her back and helped her.
He whispered, “What’s wrong?”
She stared at his lips and pouted, “I want a kiss…”
He instantly froze as if he had been struck by lightning.
All of a sudden, his pale face had a touch of redness.
Collin’s mouth twitched and he so wanted to make some sleeping pills for her.
How could she still crave for Stanford under such a situation?
As a single man, he did not want to see such a scene.
Could he just escape alone, huh?
Stanford did not help her upward. Since she was still weak, she could not lift herself.
While struggling, she said in an aggrieved tone, “Kiss…”
He instantly found his whole face burning.
Looking at her who was asking for a kiss in his embrace, he said with some embarrassment, “Kiss later.”
She blinked her eyes and seemed a bit unwilling. But she still nodded slightly.
“Hurry up,” she urged softly.
He felt like electric currents were bouncing up and down in his heart. At the moment, he did not know what to do with her.
Her words simply made him think more.
What a little witch! How did she manage to flirt with him in such a situation?
He dared not delay for fear that she would ask for a kiss soon. So he hastily applied the powder on his wounds to stop the bleeding.
…
Finally, she regained her consciousness.
When she opened her eyes, she saw endless darkness and sensed blood in the air.
Scenes of fighting at the Turner family house came to her mind.
And she remembered Stanford, who was seriously wounded, took her away with difficulty.
“Mr. Fraser, Mr. Fraser…”
She suddenly sat up with panic. Being so scared, she wanted to know how things were going with Stanford.
Was he fine now or did something happen to him?
“Are you awake now? I am here,” a husky voice came from beside her.
This familiar voice made her calm down quickly.
She hurriedly looked towards the side and saw a man sitting beside her in the dim darkness.
She hastily asked, “Mr. Fraser, are you okay? What about your injuries?”
