Kyle also instructed the people in the room, “Take them to the training ground first. Mr. Nolan will come to dispose of them later!” At his words, his subordinates heeded his orders and took the men out. It was only then that Kyle looked at Jewel. “Are you two all right?”
He didn’t recognize Jewel, and the reason why he didn’t treat her as a villain was because she was cradling Alex in her arms. Jewel anxiously struggled to squeeze the words out of her throat as she said, “Hurry up and check on him!”
Kyle lifted Alex from her embrace and found that the back of his head was swollen with a huge bump. “This is serious. Let’s lift him to the bed without moving him around too much, and I’ll call the doctor immediately.”
Jewel nodded. With the help of Kyle and several of his men, they hoisted Alex onto the bed. Just then, Kyle realized that Jewel was wounded as well, and the injury on her back was still bleeding. However, she didn’t make a sound, and even helped to carry Alex earlier. This girl is something else! He asked in a surprised and worried voice, “Don’t move around. I’ll call a doctor over for the both of you.”
Jewel said, ‘My godmother… is downstairs… in the second room.” She struggled to speak, her forehead full of sweat. It was unclear whether it was because it took too much effort for her to speak, or if it was because her back hurt too much. “Your godmother?”
Jewel gritted out, “Ellen Mccarthy!” Kyle finally caught on. So Mrs. Nolan is her godmother? “All right, I’ll go and look for her now. Don’t worry, the doctor will be here soon.” Saying that, he went downstairs, where he found Ellen in the second room. “Mrs. Nolan, are you all right?”
Ellen hurriedly said, “You’re finally here. Hurry up and go upstairs. Jewel and the others are still there!” Kyle assured her, “I’m sorry for frightening you, Mrs. Nolan. We’ve already arrested those people, don’t worry.”
“What about Jewel? How is she?”
Thinking that she should be talking about the woman in the room, Kyle replied, “They’re in the room. I’ve called a doctor, and he’ll be here soon!”
Hearing that, Ellen anxiously ran upstairs. It was already the morning of the next day when Eugene and his family arrived. When Kyle saw them coming, he automatically went over to take the blame. “My deepest apologies, Mr. Nolan!”
His face expressionless, Eugene lifted his foot and kicked him away. “You really are getting more and more competent.”
Kyle hung his head and said with a self- reproachful expression, “I’m sorry!” Olivia gave Eugene a tug and chided him, “Let’s put this aside for now and see how Mrs. Nolan and Jewel are doing.” Eugene glared at Kyle and warned, ‘Just wait. I’ll deal with you later!”
With that, they headed upstairs together. After pushing the door open, they saw Ellen sitting by the bed with her head lowered, sobbing softly. Meanwhile, Alex was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and his head was wrapped in bandages. He looked immensely haggard. Sitting next to them was Jewel, who seemed to be doing well, except for the fact that her face was rather pale. Eugene strode up to Ellen in a few steps and held her hand. “Mom.”
When Ellen saw them, her tears started falling again. “You’re here?”
Eugene looked her up and down as he asked, “Are you okay?”
Ellen shook her head. “I’m fine. Olivia, hurry up and check on Jewel and Alex. They’re both hurt!” At her words, Eugene and Olivia turned their gazes to Jewel, who seemed to be fine. “Jewel, where are you hurt?”
Knowing that Jewel could not speak well, Ellen answered on her behalf, “Her back is injured. Back then, I was running downstairs while a man was chasing after me. He tried to stab me with his knife, but all of a sudden, Jewel jumped. down from upstairs and held me, and the knife went straight into Jewel’s back! She’s lost a lot of blood.”
