The moment Chloe Sinclair fell, her surroundings went black. The only thing she could feel was falling into a familiar embrace.
Chloe Sinclair’s sudden collapse threw the men into a panic.
It was Jasper Shaw who reacted first. He scooped Chloe Sinclair into his arms and said, "I’m taking her to the hospital."
"Okay, I’ll go with you."
Landon Sinclair nodded without a second word, his expression somber.
Then, he turned to Warren and said, "You go to the police station. Make sure the authorities get to the bottom of what happened today!"
Warren looked taken aback, then nodded. "Understood."
A scientist was nearly assassinated in broad daylight. The government certainly wouldn’t let this slide.
But at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Warren’s gaze drifted to the young woman in Jasper Shaw’s arms.
’If it hadn’t been for her today,’ he thought, ’neither I nor Mr. Sinclair would have made it out of there.’
After they went their separate ways, Landon Sinclair got into Jasper Shaw’s Bentley, and they raced to the nearest major hospital.
Adrian Dalton had been notified in advance and was already waiting for them at the entrance.
He froze for a moment when he saw Jasper Shaw get out of the car, a panicked look in his eyes as he carried a young woman.
’Have to admit,’ he thought, ’this girl is really pretty.’
"Are you done staring?"
Adrian Dalton was busy admiring Chloe Sinclair’s beauty when a cold voice spoke up right next to his ear.
"I’ve... I’ve seen enough."
Adrian Dalton swallowed hard and chuckled nervously. "Looks like it’s from exhaustion, but we should run some tests to be on the safe side."
"Fine."
「Two hours later.」
Seeing that the test results showed nothing wrong, the two men finally felt a weight lift off their chests.
Looking at Chloe Sinclair, still unconscious in the hospital bed, Jasper Shaw frowned. "You said there was nothing wrong, so why hasn’t she woken up?"
Adrian Dalton explained, "I heard she was on some kind of show and hasn’t been resting well for the past few days. She’s just sleeping deeply now. She’ll wake up by tomorrow."
Jasper Shaw said nothing. Gazing at Chloe Sinclair’s pale face, he felt an indescribable mix of anger and heartache.
Landon Sinclair, however, was suspicious. His gaze on Jasper Shaw held a trace of wariness. "Chairman Shaw, I wasn’t aware you and Chloe were acquainted. When did you two meet?" freewёbnoνel.com
’My sister is still young,’ he thought. ’There’s no way her life should have intersected with Jasper Shaw’s.’
This thought only made him more suspicious.
"Miss Sinclair and I have met on a few occasions."
Jasper Shaw didn’t elaborate, which only made Landon Sinclair more guarded.
"You must be tired as well, Mr. Sinclair. Why don’t you go home and rest?"
Landon Sinclair paused, suddenly remembering something. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Just then, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
The moment he answered, he heard his grandfather’s booming voice. "Landon, how is your sister?!"
Their grandfather was eighty years old but remarkably robust, especially when he was yelling. No one would believe a man his age could be so loud.
Their grandfather lived in the old family home with their grandmother, and the family usually only returned for major holidays.
Landon Sinclair flinched instinctively at the sound of the old man’s voice.
"Grandpa, Chloe’s fine."
"Then let me talk to her."
Landon glanced at the still-unconscious Chloe, his voice losing its confidence. "She can’t come to the phone right now."
A furious roar immediately followed from the other end of the line.
