Chapter 999


    Franky nced at the rearview mirror and shook his head, saying, "Not anymore.”


    Mn sneered. "Boring. To Chardu, then."


    Franky turned the car around and drove toward the outskirts of the city before we arrived at a small


    vi.


    I was unconscious throughout the journey and found myself in an unfamiliar environment when I


    woke up.


    I felt a sharp pain in my arm and tried to move it but had no strength.


    After making a few attempts and sweating buckets, I finally gave up.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    My throat was dry, and I caught sight of a ss of water ced on the bedside table out of the


    corners of my eyes. I shifted my body to get it, but because I could not lift my arm, I was not able to


    get it.


    Just as I was at a loss at what to do, a defined hand suddenly took hold of the ss.


    I was stunned, then looked up.


    I was surprised when I saw the familiar and cool face. "Jordan?"


    When I spoke, I realized how hoarse my voice was and how painful my throat was.


    The man nodded, and his cool face tugged into a hint o f a smile. "Drink some water first."


    He sat on the side of the bed and reached out to help m e up. My body was leaning against his and


    I instinctively wanted to keep my distance, but he pressed my shoulders down. "You''re sick now.


    Don''t overthink things."


    I pursed my lips and stopped moving.


    He brought the ss of water to my mouth and hinted at me to drink it.


    I took a few sips and felt that my throat was so much morefortable now.


    Jordan put the ss down and gently ced me down on the bed again.


    He looked at me with tender eyes. "Do you want to eat something?"


    I shook my head. "I''m not hungry.”


    He did not ask anything else and sat on the side without saying anything.


    I had a bunch of questions in my heart, so I looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here, Mr.


    Frederick? Do you know Mn?"


    He looked up at me with a calm and indifferent gaze." This is the Fredericks'' private hospital."


    "The Fredericks?" I was suddenly unsure. "The Fredericks in the country?"


    He raised his eyebrows. "The Fredericks who saved your life.”


    I grew even more confused. "Why did you save me?"


    He smiled slightly. "I didn''t intend to save you. Anyway, it was nothing difficult.”


    I frowned. "You sent your men to look for me in South Peacerton and you''re saying that you didn''t


    intend to save me?"


    He asked with a chuckle, "Did you forget what you promised me back in Riverbank City?”


    The man was charming enough when he did not smile, not to mention how dazzling he looked when


    he did.


    I could not help but froze. I actually forgot.


    The man sighed. "I don''t like it when a person breaks their word. If it happens, I’ll find them and get


    to the bottom of it."


    The excuse sounded very forced.


    However, I had no ns of continuing to ask why. I nced down at my arm and asked, "How’s my


    arm?"


    He raised his eyebrows. "No biggie. It’ll be fine once it''s healed. But you can’t lift heavy items in the


    future."


    I pursed my lips and nodded my head.


    There were movements outside. I thought it was Mn but it was actually the nurse who came in to


    dress my


    wound.


    I did not know Mn and Jordan’s rtionship, so it was best to stay vignt.


    After my wounds were dressed, I had some of the oatmeal Jordan ordered someone to bring. I


    could not help but fall asleep when drowsiness hit.
