“Mr. Larson told me to call Sean over. He said that he had something important to ask Sean,” Mesue said with her head down.
From her tone, Sean realized that the situation was serious.
“I should have sent you back if I knew this would happen!” Sean blamed himself, his tone full of remorse. “Is Mr. Larson seriously injured?” he asked anxiously.
Natalie pursed her lips before explaining helplessly, “His car had hit a tree. Fortunately, the accident didn’t seem to be too serious. There were some bruises, but they are not very serious. I’m more afraid that there will be internal injuries.”
Noticing that Sean came alone, Natalie asked curiously, “Where is Estella? Didn’t she come with you?”
“I didn’t tell her that you and Mr. Larson had gotten into an accident because I didn’t want her to worry. I just said that there was something urgent to deal with in the company,” replied Sean guiltily. He plopped down dejectedly on the chair next to Mesue and rubbed his face. “How could the brakes fail? I just bought the car not long ago,” he said reproachfully.
Sean was informed of the main reason for the accident while he was on the way to the hospital and was very confused by it.
Natalie’s eyes were red with anger when she heard Sean’s words. “Someone must have tampered with the car! I must find out who did it,” she said gravely.
Sean was momentarily stunned by Natalie’s reaction as she rarely lost her temper. However, he agreed with Natalie readily and turned to Mesue. “Mesue, can you check the car’s dashcam? Maybe we can find out something from there. However, if the car was seriously damaged, the camera may already be damaged or burnt…”
Mesure hurriedly agreed, “Okay, I’ll go and check how badly the car is damaged. It would be best if I can find something from the dashcam. Mrs. Larson, I’ll report my findings to you later.”
With that, she bade Natalie and Sean goodbye before leaving to investigate the car.
Brandon was in the examination room for a long time. Natalie and Sean gradually fell silent. The atmosphere also became intense.
Suddenly, Natalie stood up from her seat and walked away. “Mrs. Larson, where are you going and what are you planning to do?” asked Sean at once as he tried to stop her from doing anything reckless.
Natalie’s eyes were cold as she replied emotionlessly, “I’ll call my parents and ask them to help in the investigation. There is someone who is relentlessly trying to kill me and I am definitely going to find out who he or she is!”
“Why don’t we wait until Mr. Larson comes out? The Larson Group will definitely lend a hand,” pleaded Sean as he was afraid that things were not that simple.
Just then, a sound could be heard from a distance. Natalie glanced sideways and saw the examination room door open. Brandon was coming out, supported by a b*odyguard of his.
“Sean, don’t stop her. Let her do what she wants,” Brandon said weakly. He had just finished his examination and looked very pale from all the injuries.
Natalie ran to him and held his arm. She asked the doctor anxiously, “How’s my husband?”
The doctor explained Brandon’s condition patiently, “Mr. Larson is having a slight concussion. He needs to stay a few days in the hospital for observation. During this period, he needs to rest quietly. Apart from that, there are no other serious issues.”
Natalie heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Let’s go back to your ward so you can rest.”
Sean followed them silently behind. Suddenly, Brandon glared coldly at Sean and said, “So, you still remember to come back?”
Sean was trembling with fear. He looked guiltily at Brandon and whimpered, “It’s all my fault, Mr. Larson. Please punish me.”
Brandon kept silent for a long time before speaking, “I will deal with you when I return to the company.” His expression was grave as he looked at Sean as if he was a stranger,
Sean was mentally prepared to get fired on the spot, but to his surprise, Brandon said he’d dealt with him later.
Natalie offered him a kind smile. She knew very well that Brandon was a decisive person. He wasn’t one to delay addressing urgent issues, especially when it had to do with doling out punishment.
Clearly, he was more lenient toward Sean than he was to most people.
Natalie took it upon herself to lighten the mood. “Come on, let’s head back to the ward first. Sean, you should come, too.”
She helped Brandon into his ward before saying, “Sean offered to drive me home. I was the one who insisted for him to stay at the banquet with Estella. Don’t blame him for this.” “I tasked Sean to protect you.
Regardless of the circumstances that transpired, he is responsible for your safety.” Brandon’s eyes were clouded with conflicting emotions. He patted the back of Natalie’s hand and added, “Don’t worry, my injury isn’t that bad. What matters is that you didn’t get hurt.”
His words made Natalie frown. “Fine, then! Since you don’t care about your own well-being as much as you should, I won’t lose any sleep worrying about you anymore.”
Even as she said so, she remained careful as ever as she helped Brandon on to the bed and tucked him under the covers.
Once he was settled in, Brandon grabbed Natalie’s hand. “Are you mad?”
But she only snorted and withdrew her hand from his. She plopped down on the edge of the bed with her face turned away from him, crossing her arms over her chest. “Mr. and Mrs. Larson, please don’t fight. No one could have expected the car to be tampered with. Whoever did this is clearly out of control. Even though their target was Mrs. Larson, creating a car accident would involve a lot of innocent people. For now, our top priority should be finding the person behind all of this.”
Sean did a subtle swipe at the cold sweat beading on his forehead. One minute the couple had been fine, and they were arguing the next.
“Don’t let anyone know about what happened tonight,” Brandon instructed. “Wipe out any news of my accident. You may return to the company, Sean. Sort out any necessary documents and bring them here tomorrow. I’ll be working from the hospital in the next few days.”
Needless to say, Sean was surprised to hear that Brandon was still willing to let him work at the Larson Group. His response was immediate. “Of course. I’ll get right to it.”
Moved by Brandon’s generosity, Sean offered him a low bow before quietly exiting the ward.
Soon, Brandon and Natalie were left alone.
