Chapter 699


    Zephyr and Cordelia rushed to the hospital as soon as they received the news. Numerous people were


    gathered outside the operation ward. Trinity sat on the bench with an anxious look, the lucky charm


    clutched in her hand. Cordelia patted Zephyr’s back, softly coaxing him that everything would turn out


    fine. The bodyguards from Southeast Aciatic guarded each exit of the floor with a straight face. Forget


    a living person, even a fly would find it hard to leave. Aurelia stood as close to the wall as possible as


    she timidly scanned the group of people before her. Her metal box stayed close to her. These people


    looked rich and powerful with high status. Fredric was their friend… What would they do to her then?


    Aurelia dared not think about it. She felt chills running down her and hugged her metal box tighter. All


    her money was in the box. She had wanted to send Fredric to the hospital with it, but it did not seem


    needed now. What was currently happening could no longer be resolved with money… The light above


    the door went out, and the doctor came out, pulling his sweaty mask off. Trinity darted over. “How is


    he?” “The patient’s doing fine. He’s no longer at risk.” The doctor smiled. “His wound is infected, but it’s


    fine now after being stitched up. It’s fortunate that he was sent here in time, or the consequences would


    have been unimaginable.” Trinity breathed out in relief as tears kept streaming. Aurelia’s lurching heart


    settled down as well. Luckily, he was sent to the hospital in time. Her decision was right. She looked at


    the operation ward from afar. Fredric had received the best treatment, and she had no guilty


    conscience. What she should be considering now was to escape this ce as soon as possible. Neil


    waved for his men to take care of the petty tasks, like the hospitalization procedures. Aurelia saw that


    no one was watching her anymore and inched outward with her back against the wall. She was going


    to sneak away when Cordelia spotted her. “Wait!” rmed, Aurelia spun on her heel and ran. Cordelia


    hurried after her, grabbing her clothes instead of her arm. Aurelia was horrified. As they pushed and


    pulled, Cordelia lost her bnce and fell sideways. “Cordelia!” Zephyr shouted, but someone dove for


    the floor before he could run over. He was shocked. Aurelia held Cordelia’s shoulder and threw herself


    below thetter, cushioning the hard fall. At the same time, she kept Cordelia securely protected.


    Zephyr quickly carried Cordelia up and repeatedly confirmed that she was fine before he looked at


    Aurelia with a hint of confusion. Aurelia had failed to escape, and her metal box had fallen with a nk,


    the cash inside scattering on the floor. With Neil’s order, the bodyguards surrounded her. Aurelia looked


    around in panic, and her mind went nk. “Take her back.” Zephyr’s voice was cold and deep. “I want


    to ask her what happened myself!” “Zephyr…” Cordelia held his hand discreetly. “Let me do it when we


    go back. You’re all men. It might not be appropriate.” Neil scoffed. “Cordelia, this girl’s not as innocent


    as she looks! She nearly cost Fredric’s life and took his jacket to sell at the square! You’re pregnant


    now. Be careful when you interrogate her!” “Hey, w-what are you saying!?” Aurelia was anxious. “I


    didn’t harm Fredric! I didn’t wound him!”


    “Hmm?” Neil narrowed his eyes. “You know Acian?” “I…” Aurelia’s throat constricted, and she licked


    her lips. “You’re not from Chaisnd?” Neil stepped closer to her. “Where are you from? Did you


    approach Fredric purposely or receive anyone’s order? What do you want!?” “No! No!” Aurelia was


    furious and scared, and she teared up. “I don’t know what you’re talking about… I-I met Fredric


    coincidentally! He got injured, and I dragged him home to treat his wound. That’s all!” “You saw him


    injured?” Cordelia frowned. “Why didn’t you call the police or send him to the hospital? Do you know


    that his life would be at risk if something bad happened because you treated and medicated him on


    your own? Can you bear the responsibility!?” Aurelia looked at her without saying a word. Cordelia


    could see the terror in her eyes and understood her fear. She could not understand that it was


    supposed to be something simple. It would have been done and dusted if she had reported it to the


    police. Why had she dragged it out to this state? Some people came from the other end of the hallway.


    The leather shoes against the marble flooring echoed in the corridor and sounded oppressive. A few


    police officers in uniform came to them. “Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton,” the officer greeted politely. “We heard


    that Mr. Constable’s found, so we’re here for statements.” Aurelia turned pale when she saw the police,


    and her odd expression attracted attention. The officer asked, “Mr. Hamerton, this is…” Zephyr and


    Cordelia exchanged a look and said nothing, but their gazes were alert. “Miss.” The officer approached


    Aurelia, sized her up, and smiled. “Please show me your ID.” Aurelia bit her lips. Only pain would keep


    her mind clear and stop her from shaking badly. “Miss, do you not understand?” The officer raised his


    voice. “ID please! Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    “I…” Aurelia stepped back subconsciously, and the back of her head knocked against a warm wall. She


    was stunned while an arm went around her shoulders and held her lightly. “She didn’t bring hers.


    Check mine.” Aurelia’s ear buzzed as she stared in a daze at the man beside her. His embrace was


    warm, and his shirt had a nice, soapy smell. He was a head taller than her, and she could see his


    chiseled jaw, the stubbles, and his bobbing Adam’s apple from her angle. Aurelia felt like her heart had


    stopped. Neil looked nonchnt with a polite smile as he pulled out his passport to hand it to the police


    officer. “I’m from Centrolis. I applied for a month’s visa. I’m working as an actor, and I’m here for an


    acting course.” The police officer looked at him, then at the passport, and nodded. “This one’s…” “This


    is my fiancee.” Neil chuckled. “She’s from Centrolis like me but doesn’t understand Chaisene. You can


    ask me, and I’ll interpret for her, officer!” “Fiancee?” The police officer frowned and scanned Aurelia


    with a skeptical gaze. “She looks familiar… Have we met somewhere?”
