Blood flowed like a fountain from the center to the four sides, and soon… Monkey lost his breath.
Until he completely lost his breath, his gaze was fixed on Declan’s direction, where another person stood-Sam.
The man’s lips moved silently, as if saying something.
Finally, Monkey felt at ease, slowly closing his eyes to welcome the arrival of death.
He was just an ordinary and extraordinary person, his rebellious youth leading him astray step by step.
Living for hatred, he was finally free today.
“Mr. Hurst, I am willing to sacrifice myself for you; I only hope that you can help me end my hatred.”
A sudden assassination left everyone in shock, especially Declan.
It had been many years since he encountered such a foolish fugitive, and he was more angry than afraid!
“Foolish and ignorant, bring his body to feed the fish in the river.”
“Yes.”
The two bodyguards hurried over, one dragging Monkey by a leg and the golden floor tiles leaving only a chilling bloodstain.
Sam glanced lightly at the fresh blood on the ground, then looked away, his weak voice trembling as he asked Declan, “Mr. Gilliam, it’s my fault. I didn’t expect him to do this. Blaine is under my control. If you want to question him, I’ll bring him over.”
With one hand covering his chest wound, despite the blood still flowing, he pretended to walk towards the door.
But before he took two steps, he felt dizzy and his body was so unsteady.
Seeing this, Declan had no time to care about whether Blaine had truly betrayed him; the evidence from earlier was enough for a conviction.
“Alright, Sam, you saved me today, I will remember this favor. Your injury is more important now. As for Blaine… deal with him when you’re healed, consider it avenged.”
Monkey worked for Blaine, so if he came to assassinate, Declan would naturally think it was at Blaine’s behest.
Sam had suffered in his place, so it was fitting for Sam to deal with Blaine.
“Yes, thank you, Mr. Gilliam.”
Just then, the doctor finally arrived, and upon seeing the scene before him… even though he was used to scenes of life and death, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Mr. Hurst needs immediate surgical closure.”
“Understood. If possible, I don’t want anesthesia.”
If not for the sake of acting in front of Declan, Sam wouldn’t need these bothersome doctors; he could handle the wound by himself.
“Well…”
The doctor wanted to advise against such a long wound without anesthesia. Operating in a conscious state would undoubtedly be very painful.
However, Sam claimed to be allergic to anesthesia, and the doctor agreed.
Witnessing him endure the pain of stitching the wound without anesthesia, everyone present couldn’t help but think he was really a tough guy!
At Akloit Hospital, Kate finally woke up!
Upon hearing this news, Cheyenne immediately set aside her half-eaten breakfast, limping hurriedly to change clothes and go to the hospital to see her.
Old Mr. Foley saw her anxious appearance and quickly stopped her, “Even if you want to go to the hospital to see Miss Zamora, you should finish your breakfast first.”
Cheyenne was truly in a rush, eager to know how Kate was recovering and if the child had any problems.
“I’m full, grandpa. You know I don’t eat much to begin with.”
“Just wait a bit longer. Have the kitchen prepare an extra breakfast, make some nourishing soup as well, and take it over to Miss Zamora along with it. Can you manage that?”
Without the reminder from grandpa, Cheyenne hadn’t considered this.
It’s early now, Kate must be starving just after waking up, and Eddie… probably had a sleepless night.
“Thank you, grandpa. You really think of everything.”
With grandpa around, she didn’t have to worry about taking care of the children herself; he could also help her with advice and guidance through life’s complexities.
Cheyenne was very grateful to old Mr. Foley; whether it had been her insistence on marrying Kelvin in the past, or being cold and divorcing later, and now reconciling… grandpa had always supported her.
“Alright, you had the sweetest tongue. Who else would grandpa spoil if not you?”
“That brat had no conscience at all. He left you alone hurt at home, ran off on his own, and when he came back, grandpa would definitely talk to him for you!”
Kelvin went out that time under the pretext of a “business trip”. It had been over a week since he left, and naturally, grandpa was worried about him.
But when it came to speaking, it always turned into a hypocritical declaration of reprimand.
Cheyenne comfortingly hugged old Mr. Foley, “It’s alright, grandpa. My foot injury is almost healed. As for Kelvin… he might be in more danger abroad than me, so please don’t scold him anymore.”
Indeed, old Mr. Foley refrained from scolding anyone any longer.
“At my age, I can’t help you with anything. You young people always like to keep secrets from me. Fine, fine… I don’t care anymore, hmph!”
Why is he angry again?
She could only smile wryly and gesture to the two children beside her.
Cierra, this little girl who understood nothing, blinked innocently and asked her, “Mom… Is your eye uncomfortable?”
Cheyenne was speechless.
Clearly, she and Kelvin are not stupid, so how did they end up with such a silly daughter?
Luckily, Oliver is smart, quickly understanding his mom’s meaning. “Ahem… Grandpa, I’ve finished eating. Can you take me to school?”
Knowing that even if he didn’t ask, old Mr. Foley would still take him, but for Oliver to take the initiative to make the request, using a rare pleading tone, was noteworthy.
Old Mr. Foley immediately forgot about Kelvin and Cheyenne, cheerfully picking up his great-grandson’s backpack.
“Alright, we promise not to be late today.”
Oliver smiled without replying because Great-grandpa had said the same thing last time…
Just before leaving, old Mr. Foley turned back to remind Cheyenne that she shouldn’t drive with her leg injury.
If she needs to go to the hospital, she should have the housekeeper arrange for a driver to take her.
Before the words were even finished, a domineering figure in military green appeared at the door – Iker had arrived.
Rarely on his usually icy face was a gentle smile, his dark bright eyes reflecting Cheyenne’s pretty face.
“Cheyenne, I’m here to take you to the hospital.”
Cheyenne was slightly stunned. How did he know she needed to go to the hospital?
