At four o’clock in the morning, in a five-star hotel in the capital of Palm City.
The room was filled with the pungent smell of tobacco as a few men were smoking.
Benjamin followed Marvin. Both of them carried a large bag of hot food in their hands respectively. In the spacious living room, there was only Jonathan lying on the brown sofa with his legs crossed. He was smoking while browsing through his Facebook. Marvin asked with a frown, “Where is Credence?”
Jonathan replied without looking up, “He is in the bathroom. Maybe he wants to take a cold shower to keep himself wide awake.”
When Jonathan was on the plane, he slept all the way to the airport of Palm City. On the other hand, according to Benjamin, Credence didn’t close his eyes at all. He did not want to sleep, even when they had arrived in Palm City. He wanted to know Dorothy’s whereabouts as soon as possible.
He was not made of iron. If he continued to torture himself like this, he would collapse sooner or later!
Marvin furrowed his thick eyebrows and let out a heavy sigh.
Benjamin’s eyes turned red, “Mr. Stanton, Mr. Jules, both of you are Mr. Scott’s good friends. Please help me persuade him to take good care of his health. Only then can he find Mrs. Scott. Thank you!”
“You don’t have to thank me. We will try to persuade him, even if you didn’t ask us to do so, but he’ll just think that we’re talking nonsense. What can we do? It’s pointless to say anything if we can’t find Dorothy.”
Jonathan shook his head.
As soon as he finished his words, there was a loud sound coming from the bedroom. Then, a muffled grunt of a man could be heard by the men who were in the living room.
“Something happened to Credence!”
Marvin moved swiftly, and he was the first to enter the room. He saw Credence, who was suffering from stomachache and fever, almost faint and he was leaning against the door of the bathroom. His narrow eyes were closed and his face was pale.
This time they went to Palm City, they’ve brought along two doctors as Credence was not feeling well. One of them was an attending doctor, and the other was an assistant.
Jonathan rushed to the opposite room and knocked on the door. He called the doctors over to give Credence first aid.
The doctors immediately used a Defibrillator on Credence’s chest. Soon, the man, whose frail face had turned pale, started to breathe weakly again.
Benjamin looked at the gaunt figure of Credence, who used to be arrogant. He suddenly couldn’t help but shed tears, “Mr. Scott, why are you doing this to yourself?”
“I… am fine.”
Credence suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and coughed hard for a while. He panted weakly and asked, “Are there any updates about her?”
“Why do you keep mentioning her? Do you want to die now?”
Marvin had a hot temper. He leaned over to help Credence up before throwing him on the bed in the bedroom, “Credence, take your medicine and IV first. When your body temperature drops to normal, you can continue to find Dorothy. I won’t f*cking stop you by then!”
The man lying on the huge bed closed his bloodshot eyes slowly with his long eyebrows twisted. He did not say anything.
When Jonathan saw that Credence was no longer creating troubles, he quickly reached out and grabbed the attending doctor, and pulled him to his side, “You. Hurry and treat him.”
The attending doctor could recognize the unfriendly man as Jonathan’s good friend, a well-known figure in Talco City. He dared not delay. Based on Credence’s current situation, he quickly prepared the medicine and handed it to Benjamin, whose gaze was anxious, “Please give Mr. Scott these medicines. His fever will subside in two or three hours.”
The man with a cold and malicious aura was frightening. The attending doctor was so scared of Credence that he did not dare to approach him.
Benjamin nodded, took over the medicine, and fed it to Credence skillfully. Suddenly, he was shocked to realize that something was wrong with his boss’s left hand. He had no idea when the back of his hand was pierced with a sharp piece of wood. Dazzling red blood dripped onto the white sheet.
“Doctor, Mr. Scott’s hand is also injured. Clean it up quickly.”
The attending doctor pushed his assistant forward. The assistant took out a pair of sharp tweezers nervously and said, “Mr. Scott, it’ll be a little painful. Please bear with it!”
Under everyone’s gaze, the assistant didn’t dare to be careless. He aimed the sharp end of his tweezers at the wound and quickly tunneled it into Credence’s skin and muscles…
Just watching it made Jonathan feel painful. He couldn’t help hissing. Meanwhile, Credence didn’t move at all. Even his eyebrows didn’t twitch.
After settling Credence’s wounds, the attending doctor and assistant were sent back to the opposite presidential suite by Jonathan.
Credence hadn’t slept for nearly fifty hours. He finally closed his eyes and fell asleep after taking the medicine.
At that point, Benjamin finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Mr. Scott’s finally resting. If he continued to torment himself like this, I am really afraid that something will happen to him…”
“Ah, I think so too. I was really worried that Credence would pass away. If Dorothy became widowed, then Juelz, that son of a b*tch, would benefit from it!” Jonathan nodded in agreement.
Hearing his nonsense, Marvin glared at him, “Shut up! It’ll be wise for you not to speak sometime.”
After being scolded, Jonathan climbed back onto the sofa awkwardly and continued to browse Facebook.
Marvin had yelled at him. Only beautiful women and gossip entertainment could heal his little heart which was injured severely at the moment.
While he was browsing Facebook, a long-haired woman squatting in the pharmacy appeared in Jonathan’s sight. Only her side profile could be seen in the picture of her crying silently while cleaning her wound.
The blogger only typed one line of caption, “Tonight, during my night shift, a beautiful and haggard woman came to buy disinfectant and gauze. Suddenly, she crouched on the ground and cried in despair. The adult world isn’t easy. Let’s buck up with her!”
They had searched everywhere for her. Finally, he had found her.
Staring at the long-haired woman’s beautiful and familiar back, Jonathan’s mind was full of “F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”
“It’s Dorothy! Marvin, I’ve found Credence’s woman.”
“Jonathan, contact this blogger immediately. You must get the specific address in the shortest time. Dorothy must live somewhere near the pharmacy,” Marvin instructed. Looking at the side profile of Dorothy on the phone screen, Marvin immediately made a decision, “Benjamin, help me carry Credence into the car and let him rest. Once we get her specific address, we will set off immediately!”
…
At ten o’clock in the morning on April 12th, Dorothy and Juelz appeared in a high-end residential area.
She really liked the sun and warmth in this city. She decided to accept Juelz’s suggestion of buying a house. As for the money, she would borrow from him first and then pay him back after earning it in the future.
For the sake of convenience, Dorothy didn’t choose a house that needed renovation. Instead, she chose a second-hand house that they could move in immediately.
“Juelz, this unit is not bad. Let’s take it.”
The unit with two rooms and one living room was located on the sixth floor. It was not spacious, but the decoration was very warm and beautiful. Even the layout was similar to the guest room she had lived in for four years. Dorothy liked it very much at first glance.
“Alright, buy it if you like.”
After following the agent down the stairs and arriving at the sales hall, Juelz took out his money to make the payment generously.
Dorothy nodded at him with a smile and said, “It’s a deal. I’ll only pay you the exact amount. You can’t request any interests from me.”
“F*ck. My dear Dorothy, it turns out that I am someone who doesn’t treat my friends well in your heart. Your words hurt me!”
Juelz placed one hand on Dorothy’s shoulder and the other on his chest, frowning deliberately and pretending to be sad.
“Haha, don’t tease me. I can’t stop laughing now.”
As soon as they walked out of the gate of the community area, across the street, a silver-grey commercial vehicle came to a stop slowly.
