Thomas’ face was a little pale after losing too much blood. However, he still smiled when he saw Emily rushing in anxiously, “I’m fine! Auntie, don’t worry!”
How could Emily not worry? She felt as if her heart was breaking when she saw that Thomas was injured. It was inevitable for her to be worried because he was her son!
Emily teared up when she saw the gaping wound on Thomas’s shoulder. “Who did it? How could someone be so vicious and go against the law like this?”
Callum also came into the room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Thomas. “Thank God! You’re lucky to have met Gavin. Otherwise, I can’t even imagine what would happen to you!”
Just as he was thanking Gavin profusely, William arrived with Bobby as well and his eyes darkened when he saw Thomas’ injury.
Bobby glanced at Thomas and told William, “They were probably going after Thomas’ life and they weren’t planning on letting him survive.”
“They’re too vicious!” Callum pulled William out angrily and said, “William, who do you think will do this? Could it be Leonard?”
“More or less? Thomas has always been gentle and he has no enemies in the business world. Normal people wouldn’t do such a vicious thing even to they hate him, and it looked like they were actually planning to kill Thomas.”
“That damn b*stard!” Callum was filled with hatred. “I was so softhearted that I let him go back then. If I had known earlier, I would have sent him to prison so he wouldn’t be able to hurt so many people like this.”
Thomas was transferred to the ward with an IV drip to prevent infection. As they followed him to the ward, Fandrey arrived as well.
He was also very angry when he saw Thomas’ condition. “Did you call the police? What did they say?”
“The police have already investigated the matter, but the car has a fake license plate and it was found in the countryside. They couldn’t identify any of the men involved too. The police suspect that this was an act of revenge and they wanted to ask if Thomas has offended anyone.”
“Who else could it be other than that b*stard, Leonard! He’s after the Floyd family. I didn’t have the guts to reveal Braelynn’s identity because I’ve always been worried that he would lay a finger on her. Now, he’s so insane that he won’t even let Thomas go.”
Emily’s eyes were red with tears as she stood by the bedside and looked at Thomas with pity. However, her face changed instantly when she heard Fandrey’s words.
She had always thought that Leonard wouldn’t do anything to Thomas because he didn’t know who the latter was, but she didn’t expect the situation to be like this.
Was Leonard acting indiscriminately? It was fortunate that luck was on Thomas’ side today, but what if this happened again?
Emily’s heart was heavy as she looked at Thomas, Callum, and Fandrey.
Fandrey and Callum didn’t notice Emily’s expression because they were talking to William. However, Gavin and Arthur could observe Emily’s expression clearly.
Why was Emily so nervous about Thomas and what was her relationship with him? The depth of her concern for Thomas was too strange.
Moreover, they found that Emily somewhat resembled Thomas when they looked at her appearance, which made both of them a little confused.
As Gavin continued staring at Thomas, he became startled when he unexpectedly saw the mark of Thomas’s earlobe.
Then, Arthur gave Gavin a meaningful look and hinted to the latter to walk out of the room.
Gavin lowered his voice. “He has the same mark on his ears like mine and Archer’s.”
“How could that be? Is he really Miss’ child?”
“It’s hard to say…” Gavin thought for a moment and said, “This is too strange. Let’s do a quick DNA test right away.”
Thomas needed to stay in the hospital. Callum and Emily stayed in the hospital to take care of Thomas while William sent Fandrey, who was still furious, home.
Thomas fell asleep after taking an infusion. Meanwhile, Emily teared up again when she sat by the bed and looked at Thomas’ pale face.
Callum came over and pulled Emily to sit down on the sofa. “Don’t worry. He’ll recover soon since the doctors have treated his wounds.”
“I’m still scared after thinking about it. If Gavin didn’t show up, then tonight…”
“It’s over now! Something like this won’t happen in the future, and I’ll arrange for someone to protect him.”
“What about Leonard? What if he attacks Thomas again?” Emily couldn’t help but worry.
“That will never happen!”
“How can you be sure? Can you be sure of Leonard’s next step? Callum, you have to ensure that Leonard won’t harm Thomas again and you have to take good care of his safety. I don’t want to see something like this ever again!”
“I will make the proper arrangements, so don’t worry about it!”
“I don’t believe you! I think there’s only one way to solve the current situation, which is to let Thomas resign and leave the Floyd family. That way, Leonard won’t do anything to him anymore.”
“Emily, Thomas is an indispensable employee of the Floyd family. Do you know what would happen to the Floyd family if he left?”
“I don’t care. He can’t lose my life because of his work, right? I will persuade him to leave the Floyd family when he wakes up. I’m sure there are countless opportunities for him to choose from since he’s so smart and talented. There is no need for him to stay in the Floyd family and be in harm’s way like this!”
“Emily, what’s wrong with you?” Callum looked at Emily in confusion. He had always known that Emily had a good relationship with Thomas, but it was surprising how much she actually cared for him.
“What do you mean? I can’t watch Thomas being hurt like this! Callum, it’s all because of you. My child suffered so much because of your family! I hate you so much!”
“What did you say? Thomas is your child?” Callum looked at Emily in astonishment.
“Yes! Thomas is our son. I really don’t want to see my child get hurt like this. Callum, I’m begging you to convince your parents to let Thomas leave the Floyd family!”
Fandrey said very angrily as William sent him home, “We can’t tolerate Leonard like this. I couldn’t bear to hurt Leonard before this, but he went overboard this time and I can’t believe how insane he is to kill an innocent person like Thomas. We have to find a way to deal with him.”
“Grandpa, this is just our guess and we can’t do anything to Leonard without evidence.”
“He’s the only person who would be so vicious and shameless. I won’t show mercy to him after seeing Thomas end up like this! Thomas is completely innocent, but he was still attacked in the end. I can’t just sit by and watch. Leonard is not the only one here who knows how to use underhanded means.”
Fandrey wanted to give Leonard a taste of his own medicine . It looked like things were about to get heated up.
William didn’t refuse either because he felt that Leonard was being too arrogant. He had to let the latter suffer for what he had done.
“Okay, Grandpa, I will support you whatever you want to do!”
Callum called them as they were talking. “Dad, come to the hospital right away. I have something important to tell you.”
“Can’t you tell me over the phone?” Fandrey asked.
“Come here quickly! Emily just told me that Thomas is our child!”
Fandrey was speechless for a moment, and he held the phone motionlessly for quite some time before he ordered the driver, “This… Turn around and go to the hospital immediately!”
