When Loredana was trying to get herself up from the ground with one hand, someone suddenly clutched her wrist. She could see a pair of polished leather shoes. As she gradually moved her gaze upward, she saw a pair of slender legs and a chiseled face.
Cormac Mendelsohn gently held her up. Loredana was lifted up and instantly fell into a strong, warm chest. She raised her head. The wind was strong, and her long hair fluttered in the wind.
Cormac stroked a strand of hair from her forehead and placed it behind her ear.
Luckily, she overcame it. She smiled. Her eyes was beautiful, they looked so clear and pure, “It’s all right, you came in the nick of time.”
His expression remained rigid after her words and became stiffer. He grabbed her over to him and Loredana crashed into his arms.
Loredana had a vague sense that he was frustrated. As she tried to speak, she saw two bodyguards approaching, who were carrying Sampson and then throwing him into the car. Loredana had never seen Cormac look so violent. Her voice was a bit low. Instead of asking why he had a gun, she asked a question she was more concerned about, “Will he die?” Sampson was wrong and should be punished, but Cormac couldn’t punish him privately.
If Sampson died, Cormac would be against the law as well.
“I don’t know.” Yes, he didn’t know. When Cormac saw Sampson was choking her neck, Cormac had lost his mind. He usually would deal with a proper way. But, this time, he was out of order. Loredana sighed and wondered if Mrs. Leslie was okay.
“Let’s go back. I’m cold.” She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist.
Cormac pulled her into his coat and headed towards the car. The bodyguard opened the car door respectfully. He held her in his arms and sat inside the car.
The car door was closed.
They didn’t talk on the way as if they had their own thoughts.
Loredana had not yet recovered from the terrible scene, while Cormac was still blaming himself. If he had come late, would she have…
Soon, the car arrived at the hotel. Theresa Gordon had gone to the hospital. Mrs. Leslie was now in the hospital and her situation was not yet known. As Armand’s wife, Theresa should have stayed in the hospital.
“I didn’t expect this, it’s my fault.” Boyce Shawn said annoyingly.
If he had watched over Mrs. Leslie, such an accident wouldn’t have happened.
Indeed, he thought there should nothing dangerous as what could Sampson do alone? But he didn’t expect that Sampson was carrying a bomb with him and had caused such big trouble.
“It was an accident,” Loredana said comfortingly.
“Both kids are in the room. I’ll deal with Sampson.” As Boyce just about to leave, he seemed to think of something, and he looked at Cormac, “Where’s the gun?”
Boyce was equipped with a gun.
That was then Loredana realized that the gun Cormac had used belonged to Boyce.
There was a code on Boyce’s gun. If he lost it, he would be punished.
Cormac took the gun from his waist and gave it back to Boyce. Then, he passed him and went into the house.
It was obvious that Cormac wasn’t in good mood. Boyce wanted to ask what happened to him.
Loredana stopped Boyce and shook her head at him, “He’s probably in a bad mood. You may go and try to save him.”
Boyce nodded.
Loredana turned around and entered the house. She took off the coat she was wearing and hung it on the coat rack. Cormac didn’t take off his coat and he went to hug Simona. Loredana walked over, “Take off your coat.”
It was warm in the house. It would be hot if he was still wearing his coat in the house. He put down Simona, shook his shoulders and the coat slipped off. Loredana took it, then she walked over to hang it on the rack.
“Daddy, where have you been?” Simona asked coyly, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Cormac pinched her little nose, “Daddy was out for some matters.”
Simona leaned on his shoulder, buried her little face in his shoulder, and said with a muffled voice, “I thought you were out on a date with mommy. Can you take me out with you next time you go out? I’m bored staying in the room all day. When can we go back?”
Cormac stroked her back, “It’ll need to wait a little longer.”
Originally, they could have gone back after Sampson’s matter was over.
But now Mrs. Leslie had been sent to the hospital and her condition was unknown. They certainly couldn’t leave now.
“So, daddy, can you spend more time with me?” She pouted and said, “I miss grandma.”
Cormac kissed Simona’s forehead and said, “I’ll always be with you from now on.”
Simona was so happy that she giggled and kissed him hard on his cheek. His face was covered with her drool.
A smile finally appeared on his face when he saw that Simona was happy.
In the hospital.
Mrs. Leslie was sent into the examination room. Armand was worried and paced back and forth in the corridor.
Theresa felt dizzy watching him pace around. She knew that he was worried and anxious. But pacing around wasn’t going to help. She walked over and held his hand, “Don’t worry too much, grandma will be fine.”
Armand gritted his teeth, “That Sampson son of bitch, I’m going to kill him…”
Theresa hurriedly covered his mouth. There were a lot of people around. If other people heard it, it would give a bad impression, and they would think he was a bad person.
“I know you’re angry…”
“Can’t I be angry?” Armand shouted. After that, he realized he was too impulsive and he shouldn’t have shouted at Theresa, “I’m sorry, I was too worried.”
He turned around and sat on the bench, covering his face with his hands, “She’s the only one I have in my family, she’s very important to me.”
Theresa walked over and hugged him, “I know.”
He hugged Theresa and buried his face in her abdomen. Theresa was standing while he was sitting. He said in a low and trembling voice, “My parents died young. She is the one who raised me. It was my fault…”
Theresa stroked his head, “It’s not on you. No one expected it. It was an accident.”
Armand embraced her without saying a word.
The surroundings gradually quieted down.
After a while, the door of the examination room was opened. A nurse came out with a checklist in her hand, “Is the patient’s family here?”
Armand stood up from the bench and walked over quickly. Theresa followed him. Their hands clasped together as they feared bad news to come. “How’s my grandmother?”
When he asked the question, Armand’s hand clenched up suddenly, he was afraid to hear bad news.
Theresa’s hand felt a bit painful from the clenching, but she didn’t speak up to remind, as she knew that Armand was very nervous at that time.
“So the current situation is, because of the patient’s old age, she lost consciousness due to the shock, but it’s not life-threatening. There are some bruises on her body, and they have been treated, so nothing too serious.”
