Sadly, she could only look out of the window and wish for Brandon’s safe return.
A few moments later, the sound of siren drew closer and closer.
Natalie opened the window and poked her head out.
There was an ambulance and a police car.She then saw two paramedics were carrying a stretcher, on which lay Elizabeth’s aunt who was covered in blood.Her gaze then fell onto Elizabeth’s bloodied hand.
“Damon it!” she muttered under her breath.
Just as she was about to open the car door, the bodyguard stopped her.
“Mrs.Larson, you have to calm down!”
“Don’t you dare get in my way.l don’t care whether Brandon gets angry.He can do whatever the hell he wants to me later.l’m getting out of the car!” Natalie said through gritted teeth.
She pushed her bodyguard away, opened the car door, and ran out without looking back.
Because of the recent incident, many of the residents in the neighborhood had crowded there.
Aside from that, there were many medical staff and police officers in the area.
Red and blue lights were flashing through the night.
Pretty soon, things became even more chaotic.
“What’s the police doing here?”
“I heard that a murder happened earlier. Some madman stabbed someone with a knife!”
Natalie elbowed her way through the crowd and ran towards the person on the stretcher.
She was shocked to see that Elizabeth and her aunt were bloodied and battered.
“What happened? How did you get hurt? Did Jorge do this?”
Natalie was clearly terrified. She grabbed the hem of Elizabeth’s blouse and asked, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”
‘Tm okay, Natalie, but my aunt has a deep cut on her arm and she suffered a concussion,” Elizabeth answered while shaking her head.
She seemed to be unwell.
“I called the ambulance because she couldn’t walk on her own.”
Natalie looked away from Elizabeth and turned her gaze towards the latter’s aunt, who was lying unconscious on the stretcher.
“Her wounds look serious. With a solemn exp**ssion, Elizabeth replied, “Natalie, please thank your husband for me.If he weren’t around today, my aunt and I would be dead by now.”
“I haven’t seen him anywhere. Where could he be?” asked Natalie.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
Frowning, Elizabeth asked back, “Hasn’t he come down yet? I thought he captured Jorge already and went back to see you.”
“What exactly happened up there?” Natalie asked anxiously.
“Jorge tried to escape earlier, but Mr.Larson went after him along with several bodyguards. That’s all I know,” answered Elizabeth.
Thereafter, the paramedics told her to get into the ambulance. But before leaving, Elizabeth tried to comfort Natalie again.
“Don’t worry about your husband. He had several bodyguards with him. I’m sure Jorge won’t stand a chance against him.”
Natalie nodded firmly.
Even so, she was still quite worried.
All she could do right now was to scan the crowd in hopes of finding Brandon. She wasn’t that scared at first, but after walking amidst the crowd and hearing some terrible discussions, she felt more and more terrified.
“I heard that the attacker was a wanted man. People like him can be really desperate and reckless!”
“Yes, and he had a weapon with him. God, it’s so scary nowadays!”
Tears soon welled up in Natalie’s eyes and they blurred her vision when she thought that Brandon might be in danger.
Suddenly, a tall man appeared in the crowd.
Natalie wiped away her tears and saw Brandon’s face as clear as day.
Wasting no more time, she rushed toward him.
Brandon was listening to one of his men’s report of the situation, when suddenly, someone rushed over and embraced him so tightly that he had to take a step back.
Upon taking a closer look at who it was. he found Natalie crying and hugging him. Still a little startled. Brandon wiped away her tears and asked, “What’s the matter, my love? Who made you cry?”
“Brandon, don’t ever leave me alone!” Natalie sobbed.
Thereafter, he told his bodyguards to leave them. He then held her tight and asked again. “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t want you to get hurt ever again,” Natalie replied, gazing into his eyes.
It warmed Brandon’s heart to hear her say that. He could tell that she must’ve been really worried about him. He put on a smile for her and tried to appease her. albeit awkwardly.
“Silly girl, I’m fine. You have nothing to worry about.
Trash “Elizabeth and her aunt have been taken to the hospital.I’d like to check on them.What happened to Jorge? Did you catch him?”
Natalie asked when she finally stopped crying.
‘I’ll tell you all about it.For now, let’s just get in the car.”
Brandon put his arm over her shoulder and helped her into the car.They drove full speed along the dark road and soon arrived at the hospital.
Brandon also told Natalie everything on their way.
Upon their arrival, Elizabeth and her aunt had been brought in by the doctor and were being examined.
Brandon removed his coat, draped it over Natalie’s shoulder, and leaned against the bench in the corridor.
“It’s a pity that Jorge managed to escape.That man…he’s nothing but scum. does your friend even know a guy like that?”
As Natalie sat next to Brandon, she replied. “He’s Elizabeth’s ex-boyfriend.You’ve actually seen him before.”
“Right now, Jorge is a desperado and an outlaw.Your friend is unlucky to have met a guy like that.No offense, but she has bad taste in men.She probably found him atop a pile of trash.”
Brandon was quite blunt and his words were harsh to hear.
