Chapter 748


    "rk! Wake up!


    "rk, don''t fall asleep!"


    Esther felt a rush of fear, her heart pounding. He worried that rk might not make it.


    Gabriel gritted his teeth through the pain and approached the cement truck.


    "Get out of the car," hemanded.


    The cement truck''s door creaked open, and a man smelling of alcohol stumbled out. As he stepped


    out, a card fell from the truck.


    Gabriel leaned down to pick up the card, too distracted to keep an eye on the drunk driver.


    The card featured a bright poppy flower on the front and had a simple message on the back.


    [A small token of appreciation].


    It was signed with "X."


    In an instant, Gabriel stood straight and scanned his surroundings, an unsettling feeling creeping over


    him. These were the same drug dealers who had left a simr card at Esther''s old house when they set


    it on fire.


    Gabriel nced over at Esther, who was with rk and Felix some distance away, and felt a chilling


    sense of being targeted by these criminals.


    He rushed up to the cement truck driver, grabbed him by the cor, and demanded, "Tell me! Who told


    you to do this?"


    The driver appeared bewildered. "What are you talking about?"


    Gabriel pointed to the card. "This card! Where did ite from?"

    The driver asked, "What card?"


    Gabriel red at the driver and waited for the ambnce and police to arrive.


    The intoxicated driver wouldn''t escape without consequences.


    The troubling question was: where were those drug dealers hiding? Were they watching him or Esther?


    The ambnce and police''s ring sirens echoed as they arrived.


    rk was seriously injured but not critical, thanks to Agatha. Felix had merely fainted from shock.


    Esther, Gabriel, and Felix underwent thorough medical examinations, revealing various minor injuries.


    Gabriel hesitated but left the card in his bag. He informed Esther that he needed to leave to investigate


    why the card was in the cement truck driver''s possession.


    Jasper hurried to the hospital.


    "Esther, are you alright?" he asked.


    "I''m fine," Esther replied while clutching Felix''s hand. Her tears were flowing uncontrobly. "But I''m


    worried about rk."


    "rk will pull through," Jasper assured her. "Don''t worry."


    Esther nodded slightly, trying tofort herself. "With Grandma Agatha here, rk will be okay. But...


    Jasper, why was there a cement truck?"


    Jasper sat beside her and gently asked, "Esther, what did you say? A cement truck?"


    "Yes," Esther said, feeling dazed, her voice trembling. "If rk hadn''t shielded and received most of the


    impact, we might not have made it."


    Jasper''s words left Esther with a sense of foreboding. "You don''t think this was an idental car crash,


    do you?"


    Jasper''s suggestion took Esther aback. Her voice quivered as she asked, "Could Bradley be behind


    this?"
