The two walked one after the other, and as soon as they left the hospital, the ear-piercing noise of Betty Chapman was gone, offering a respite.
Sumr Sutton kept her head down, her thoughts heavy.
Adrian Walyon turned his head to look at her, gently holding her hand with his large one.
"Don’t worry, things will be resolved!"
Sumr Sutton rely offered a bitter smile to his words.
She knew Adrian Walyon was only trying to comfort her.
This incident involved two lives; it’s not like the usual mishaps.
Even though Adrian stood by her side, the tone of Betty Chapman sounded like she wanted her life in return, and the grandfather didn’t trust her either.
Even if Adrian could use his connections, when it ca down to it, would the police listen to Adrian or the Old Master?
The main point was that Sumr Sutton had no evidence to prove her innocence...
"Why didn’t you call when sothing happened last night?" Adrian Walyon led her to the car, helping her smooth her clothes.
A crisis struck the company last night, and he had been working overti there from yesterday evening to this morning.
At ho, a big incident occurred, yet no one inford him.
He only heard about it from the household servant when he returned ho in the morning.
Sumr Sutton didn’t respond to his words.
She actually didn’t want to trouble Adrian Walyon with every matter.
She had seen last night’s event clearly—it didn’t make much sense to seek his help.
"Have you eaten? What do you want to eat? Your husband will take you!" Adrian drove around the hospital.
Neither of them had breakfast or slept last night, now both tired and hungry.
"Soy milk." Sumr Sutton thought for a mont and said.
"Alright." Adrian turned the car around, taking her to a breakfast shop on the way back.
They sat down and ordered the simplest breakfast—soy milk, fried dough sticks, and porridge, quietly having their al.
After such an event last night, Sumr Sutton wasn’t hungry, and ate very little.
As they walked out of the soy milk shop, Adrian held her hand and noticed it was icy cold.
Covering her hand with his palm to warm it, Adrian comforted her, "Don’t be afraid of anything as long as I’m here. It’ll be sorted!"
He had guessed her concerns and was trying to reassure her.
Sumr Sutton looked up at him with bleary eyes, seeing his clear gaze, she nodded stiffly.
She didn’t know what the outco of this incident would be.
But with Adrian present, perhaps out of trust in him, Sumr Sutton seed fearless...
...
Returning ho, the house was eerily quiet.
Sumr Sutton sat on the living room sofa, quietly waiting for news from Gina Sutton.
After she returned, she sat on the sofa the entire day, without sleeping, still no word from the hospital.
Gina Sutton hadn’t woken up...
Sumr Sutton felt very anxious, constantly twisting her clothes while sitting on the couch.
Adrian Walyon stayed with her at ho throughout the day, but at night, the police station called him away, seemingly to discuss the accident.
Bryce Walyon also returned from the hospital at night, going straight to the Old Master’s room.
His mood was heavy, clearly affected by the incident.
Being the Walyon family’s eldest grandson, perhaps he might inherit more because of it, so it’s natural he’d be concerned.
His face was grim, and upon entering, he stated, "Dad, you must be fair this ti!"
