Just stab Alex Brown, no need to stab the vitals, both will be free. It didn’t sound credible, but in the current situation, she had no choice.
“I … I’m only on the arm … can only stab on the arm …,” Eva Taylor said with difficulty as she picked up the knife with a shudder.
The masked man was very forgiving this time and made a “please” gesture.
Eva Taylor is only three or five steps away from Alex Brown, stumbling and apprehensive, it took a few minutes to get close.
Alex Brown stared at Eva Taylor with an incredulous gaze, trying his best to twist his body but unable to step back.
“I’m sorry Alex Brown … I won’t let … you get hurt too badly … I’ll only stab the arm …”
By the time she raised the knife, Eva Taylor was already in tears, huffing and puffing as she explained, hesitating between reaching out and closing her hand.
“Stab it!” The masked man’s warning sounded suddenly, as if thunder had exploded in her ears.
Eva Taylor screamed and stabbed forward, and just then, there was a loud rumble at the warehouse entrance, and a white Hummer flashed into view like a ghost in the dead of night!
When the dust cleared, the masked man had disappeared. Randall Harrah sent a group of bodyguards after him, while he got out of the car to check on Alex Brown’ condition, and then helped Eva Taylor back to the car together.
Alex Brown was still on the verge of unconsciousness, leaning on the back seat of the car, his eyes half-open, half-closed, Randall Harrah asked a series of questions, but did not get a response. Eva Taylor, fearing that he misunderstood himself, apologized and explained, but also did not respond.
Not long after, Ivy Smith’s phone call came.
“Did you find Alex?”
“Yeah.” Randall Harrah replied, and after looking briefly at Alex Brown through the rearview mirror, he said with concern, “There’s blood on his forehead, he must have been injured, and he’s not in a normal state.”
Alex Brown was already seriously ill, and if the injury was serious, early preparation must be made.
“Describe his condition briefly!”
“His face is very white, his lips are a little purple, he doesn’t respond at all when you talk to him, he hasn’t completely fainted, but he doesn’t look different.”
Not fainted but unable to communicate, must be brain damage, Ivy Smith became more and more anxious: “Get him home as fast as possible, must be fast!”
Thinking of Ben Brown and his daughter at home, she hung up the phone and hastily changed her mind: “No, let’s go to his apartment in Fulwood!”
Randall Harrah understood that the situation was not good and did not dare to delay.
Alex Brown in the back seat is getting more and more dazed, Eva Taylor has heard that he is not well, now fear and blame, can not help but sob: “Alex Brown you wake up ah, I really just did not mean to, you must not …”.
“Be quiet, not enough chaos? Randall Harrah’s scolding voice came from the front: “He is so sick that he can’t hear you!”
Eva Taylor had been in a state of panic since she was knocked unconscious in the afternoon, and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown when she woke up and was threatened by the masked man, and only now, when Randall Harrah yelled at her, did she instantly regain her senses.
When the three of them rush to the apartment, Ivy Smith inwardly anxiously pacing in the hospital room, waiting for a long time, the housekeeper of the old house finally arrived.
Emma Rosy was in a coma and Keira was a child, so she couldn’t just leave them behind, so she sent a trusted bodyguard to take Alex Brown’ medication to the apartment, and then she went.
On the other hand, after searching everywhere for Eva Taylor, Joe Wright rejoins Charles Taylor, who tries to call all her friends and people he may know, but no one answers.
Charles Taylor was completely overwhelmed with worry and anxiety and immediately decided to go to the police station to report the incident.
Joe Wright was checking the number book, saw the situation quickly pulled him: “Calm down, less than twenty-four hours, the missing adults will not be filed, and besides …”
“What is not filed? My sister’s life is likely to be in danger, in case something happens to her, who can afford to pay for her a life!” Charles Taylor shook off his hand and yelled like a thunderclap, “You don’t care about Eva, you’re just afraid to get yourself into trouble, right? It’s because you fought with Eva that she left alone, and it’s all your fault!”
Eva Taylor is not a child, walking alone on the street in broad daylight, how could she be in danger under normal circumstances?
But the matter has come to this, arguing these meaningless, Joe Wright can only remind in a deep voice: “She is very understanding, will not deliberately play missing to let us worry, I and you suspect the same, she is likely to have been out of danger. What we can do now is to find someone by all means, not blame each other!”
“That’s easy to say, find someone? Where to look?”
Charles Taylor turned his face away angrily, his words still unconvincing, but Joe Wright could see that he had listened to everything that had been said.
Joe Wright opened the phone book and quickly skimmed through it from start to finish: “There’s only one person left that we haven’t contacted.”
“Who?”
Charles Taylor lit up, hearing the name, but shook his head slightly mockingly: “How could Eva be with him? Hm, I don’t want to take any more time, call yourself, I’ll keep driving to find someone.”
Ignoring Charles Taylor’s sarcasm, Joe Wright dialed Alex Brown’ number on his own, and after a short beep, the call was answered.
“Hello, Joe?”
The moment he heard the voice, Joe Wright almost jumped to his feet, excitement and joy bursting across his face at the same time.
He immediately called out to Charles Taylor, and then listened to the voice on the other side of the phone with Charles Taylor.
At that moment, Eva Taylor was sitting in the sofa, not far away from the bed, Alex Brown has completely lost consciousness, Randall Harrah is slightly clumsy in the side of the fiddle with the examination equipment, she can not help, just breathless to tell them the whole story.
Hearing her experience, Charles Taylor’s original concern was immediately replaced by anger, vowing: “That masked man, I will let him die without a trace!”
After hanging up the phone, Joe Wright talked to Charles Taylor, who couldn’t wait to visit his sister.
“Eva is not hurt, I’ll go get her myself, Emma and Keira are still in the hospital, why don’t you go back and take care of them?”
When Joe Wright first proposed it, Charles Taylor flatly refused, but only after listening to his painstaking persuasion and “analysis of the pros and cons” and considering the mother and daughter in the hospital did he reluctantly relent, but on one condition: that Eva Taylor call him when she got home.
Joe Wright agreed, got into his car and headed straight to the neighborhood Eva Taylor had mentioned on the phone.
Outside the Fulwood neighborhood, a security guard, who was still alert late at night, stopped the car, asked Joe Wright’s identity, and then verified it with the owner by phone.
In between waiting, Joe Wright looked around casually, landing on the right window, his eyes slowly narrowed.
If memory serves, the black business car had also appeared behind his car while waiting for the red light a few blocks away.
“Excuse me, you can go in now.”
Joe Wright stepped on the gas pedal at the same time, the series of route blurred license plate number, has been imprinted into his mind.
Under the apartment building, Ivy Smith was standing next to the green belt, saw the flashing headlights from afar, and lifted a step to meet them.
Joe Wright parked his car and came down, Ivy Smith could not resist urging, “Come with me.”
The reason why Ivy Smith pick up people, in fact, is also a desperate move, after all, Randall Harrah identity is special, Joe Wright can be trusted, but she can not trust Charles Taylor, if he also appeared together, Ivy Smith will try to call Eva Taylor out.
On the way upstairs, Ivy Smith repeatedly instructed: “You know this is good, do not tell anyone, including Emma, and remember to keep quiet when you enter the door, it is best to persuade Ms. Taylor away.”
Although Joe Wright guessed that Alex Brown was seriously injured, but did not expect it to be such a mysterious and nervous degree, the heart could not help but be more suspicious.
Joe Wright and Ivy Smith stood in the doorway.
She saw Randall Harrah panic to try to inject the potion for Alex, she hurriedly let Randall Harrah go away, then went to the table, after replacing the syringe needle, personally injected for Alex Brown, see the siblings two puzzled eyes, she knew that can not hide, can only say the truth.
“Risperidone inhibitor, in addition to this medicine, the country’s best doctors with top equipment, in Alex’s current situation is also powerless to return.”
As she put the black box holding the potion in order, Ivy Smith turned around and sighed as she told the truth about Alex Brown’ true condition.
Even though Alex Brown had given a death warrant that no one outside of the family would be allowed to know about it, the couple in front of her were so curious that she was afraid there would be trouble if she didn’t tell the truth.
Now Alex Brown has been injected with drugs, out of life threatening, no accident will wake up tomorrow, there is no need to keep too many people here, Ivy Smith asked Joe Wright again to send Eva Taylor back.
Not waiting for Joe Wright to respond, Eva Taylor has quickly refused: “I almost hurt him earlier, I will not leave before confirming his health is okay, even if not for their own peace of mind, I have to look after him for Emma!
Then Joe Wright also looked grave and said, “There is a suspicious vehicle outside the neighborhood, followed me all the way, probably for Alex Brown, if you do not want his condition to be discovered, it is best that no one leave here tonight.”
Although he wrote down the other party’s license plate number, but this kind of vehicle used for tracking generally use fake plates, it is difficult to find out the real owner, rather than spend time and energy to do something uncertain of the outcome, it is better to beware of the root cause.
Hearing this, Ivy Smith and Randall Harrah had nothing more to say, so they agreed to stay overnight in the apartment until morning.
The apartment has a limited number of bedrooms, and They girls share one. After the thrill of the day, Eva Taylor’s nerves are still on edge after washing up and lying in bed, and she has no desire to sleep.
In addition, she still could not trust Ivy Smith lying next to her.
Ivy Smith was aware of her “roommate’s” tossing and turning, and probably guessed her concern, so she took the initiative to find a topic to open the deadlock.
“I heard you and Mr. Wright got back together, how did it go, would you like to tell me about it?”
Ivy Smith’s mind is so delicate, before that noisy situation, also noticed that They get along a little strange.
Not expecting her to bring this up, Eva Taylor said, out of precaution, “That’s about it, not much progress.”
“A real couple’s life is a mixture of bickering and romance in a dull way, and maybe that’s the true meaning of love.” Ivy Smith looked at the ceiling and curved her lips into a light smile: “This is what a woman writer I like said”
Eva Taylor turned her head and looked at the side of the woman’s face on the pillow, as if her heart was touched by something soft and warm.
“You actually know this?” She exclaimed in surprise.
Ivy Smith couldn’t help but laugh and said with a tilt of her head, “What, don’t I look like I do?”
It’s not that she doesn’t look like it, it’s just that her image in the past always gave people a feeling of being on high, but now she’s no longer so unreachable, but standing on the ground in a realistic way.
Eva Taylor is straightforward, and fearing Ivy Smith’s misunderstanding, she hurriedly explained, “I mean, you know a lot! You’re a doctor, you can manage a company, and you can even do the job of an emotional coach!”
The invisible barrier between people is the strongest and the weakest, sometimes it can’t be invaded even with all the efforts, and sometimes it can be broken easily.
Ivy Smith listened quietly, occasionally asking questions or giving advice until the simple girl finally fell asleep, then she exhaled deeply and gingerly got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Joe Wright was sleeping in the living room when he felt a pair of eyes staring at him in the darkness and woke up alert.
Next to the sofa, Ivy Smith is clearly expressionless, but suddenly reveals a kind of dangerous aura, although this aura does not have a sense of attack, but still makes Joe Wright’s heart tremble.
“How did you …”
“Shh!” Ivy Smith interrupted Joe Wright’s inquiry with a gesture, she leaned down and lowered her voice: “I’m going out for a while, the potion and syringe are still in Alex’s bedroom nightstand, if he has any more differences, you can inject half of them. Of course, that shouldn’t happen.”
Feeling that she did not look right, Joe Wright wanted to ask her where she was going, but also understood that she would not answer, so he had to stop making a fool of himself and nodded solemnly to reassure her.
Ivy Smith left the house when the sky was already white, the fog blurred the vision in the distance, full of struggles and desires of the city, but at the moment as peaceful and quiet as a pure land.
Emma Rosy in a hospital bed, her eyelashes fluttering with the light, finally opening her eyes a moment later to reveal a pair of foggy, dazed pupils.
Keira and Charles Taylor, who had been standing by, immediately called for a doctor, and only after a busy examination did she finally find a chance to speak.
“You’re here, where are the others?”
Before falling down the stairs into unconsciousness, she clearly saw Joe Wright picking herself up, according to Joe Wright’s character, should not leave in the middle. And if she remembered correctly, she heard Ivy Smith’s voice during the coma, what about Alex Brown, did he come?
Emma Rosy’s full of questions, Charles Taylor mouth, only to get a few words of answer: “They are busy.”
“Busy with what? Did something happen again?” Other than Master Wright still not waking up, Emma Rosy couldn’t think of anything else that would warrant them being busy all night, even sending a child and outsider to stay here.
“No, they’re just …” Charles Taylor shook his head in denial, but the way he wanted to say something already betrayed the emotion.
Emma Rosy lowered her eyes to look at Keira in her arms, thought Charles Taylor did not want to say too much in front of the child, and immediately informed the housekeeper to pick up Keira home, patiently waiting for his frank answer.
When the doctor returned at dawn with the test results, Keira was still clinging to Emma Rosy’s side, nervous to the core, afraid of hearing any bad news.
When the doctor said, “The abdominal wound is reopening, the healing rate will be slower, and there is a high risk of side effects from the concussion medication,” Keira burst into tears.
“I don’t want … don’t want mommy to sleep all the time … mommy don’t leave me, I’m so scared …”
During They days and nights that Emma Rosy was in a coma, Keira was in a constant state of fear, and the adults were too busy to care about her, which is why last night she desperately prayed for Ivy Smith, whom she didn’t know well, to stay with her.
“Keira, be good, mummy won’t sleep again.”
Emma Rosy stroked her daughter’s cheek, but her expression was a little different, and when she saw where Keira was holding her, Charles Taylor hurried forward and held Keira away from behind.
She was full of aggression and panic, and suddenly forced to separate from her mother, Keira cried louder: “Let go of me! Bad uncle, I want to stay with my mom!”
Emma Rosy winked at Charles Taylor and told him not to scare the baby, then reached out to Keira and said in a gentle voice, “It’s okay baby, come on, mommy will hold you.”
Keira raised her head and looked at her aggressively, seeing that her face was indeed white and her voice was weak, she finally took a few steps back and refused, “No, I’ll get mommy hurt …”
“Sorry Keira , uncle too excited, in fact, you have done a good job, from the beginning of the mother hospitalized, you have been by her side, strong and brave, deserve praise.”
He followed the tone of the kindergarten teacher, praised Keira greatly, and then urged her to go home to rest: “here is not good to eat and sleep, if you are tired and sick, mom will be more worried, so you go home good, and tomorrow to see mom, how is it?”
