Caleb, who hadn’t yet walked out of the hospital building, looked up. Jared Quinn looked down at him, their gazes colliding as if a five-way battle was crackling around them.
lody Thorne ca out after changing her clothes, her whole body still cold as if it had turned to ice, trembling uncontrollably.
Jared Quinn undid the buttons of his black suit and wrapped her inside with him, warming her with his body heat through his shirt.
"What happened?" Only after lody Thorne’s body gradually ward up did Jared Quinn ask.
lody was probably too numb from the cold rain at first, so she hadn’t had ti to think or process it.
But when she rembered, she didn’t want to admit it, and said sullenly, "Finn Thorne got hit by a car, had an accident, he needs Terence Thorne’s blood."
Jared’s violent aura couldn’t rise listening to her soft voice, so he could only raise his large hand to rub her exposed head, "You went to the Thorne Family, did they give you a hard ti?"
lody nodded. Terence Thorne’s family treated her and Finn Thorne like that, she would definitely not let them off. She was determined to take down the Thorne Family.
"Why didn’t you call ?" Jared’s face was tense, "lody Thorne, in your eyes, do I not exist? Can’t you see ? Do you only see yourself? Even when you’re being bullied like this? Where’s your capability? Your temper? Your dignity as Mrs. Quinn?"
lody closed her eyes, her head buried in Jared’s chest, "Got eaten by a dog."
Jared was both angry and amused, his slender, beautiful fingers lifted her chin, "If it got eaten by a dog, get it back. If you got bitten, bite back? Understand, Mrs. Quinn? Who are you saving your gentle and virtuous side for?"
She had never been gentle or virtuous in front of him.
"For the dog."
Jared "..."
"Ding," the operating room buzzer sounded, the doctor ca out with Gideon Quinn, looking a little stunned when he saw Jared.
"Doctor, how is he?" lody had already scrambled out of Jared’s clothes.
"The blood transfusion was tily, but he hasn’t escaped danger. We’ll have soone guard here tonight, but it’s also best for family to stay at the hospital, just in case," the doctor explained.
"Okay, I’ll stay here tonight."
The hospital staff gave lody a second look. Sotis, blood relations aren’t as close as non-blood relations.
Terence Thorne’s face didn’t look good, scared by the bullet that nearly ended his life. When he saw Jared, it was as if he’d seen a savior who could help him deal with Caleb.
"Mr. Quinn, Mr. Quinn, today I saw that boy from the Adler Family with a gun. He even gave the gun to my niece, wanting her to kill ," Terence Thorne deliberately emphasized the word "gun" and told Jared that Caleb was with lody.
Not hesitating to use a gun for her.
Jared’s gaze swept from lody to Terence Thorne, "Mr. Thorne, I rember a few days ago, soone gave so contracts from back when the Thorne Family, the Adler Family, and the Sutton Family collaborated. They included altering contracts, swallowing and dividing shares. I’m not sure if these things are true or false."
The blood drained from Terence Thorne’s face at a speed visible to the naked eye, "No, no, it has nothing to do with , no, these things aren’t real. Back in the day, everyone knew that it was the Thorne Family that carelessly lost everything of Thorne Group. We walked away, and I put everything I had into it, to have what Thorne Group is today. Mr. Quinn, don’t listen to those rumors outside."
