    Chapter 369 They Were Targeting Me


    “Puff!” I was amused by hisst sentence and burst intoughter. But after just oneugh, my nose


    tingled and tears embarrassingly started to fall heavily.


    Yes, Walter was right. I was scared to death just now, and the pain was unbearable. I was used to


    holding in my pain when I was hurt, so, when I saw him clearly, I appeared so calm.


    But at that time…


    Seeing me suddenly shed tears, his body stiffened abruptly, then he pulled me entirely into his


    embrace. His arms were so wide that they could almost wrap me uppletely. In his arms, my tears


    fell even more fiercely, and I even started sobbing uncontrobly.


    He held me, just like how my father used tofort me when I was a child, his broad, sturdy palm


    gently stroking my back, afraid that I would turn around and cry.


    After a long while, having vented my fear and grievances, I


    intermittently stopped, lying in his arms, my head resting against his chest in silence.


    Seeing that I finally stopped crying, a deep and restrained voice came from above my head, “Stop


    being foolish and only caring about others, Tabatha. No matter who you are with in the future, what you


    need to do is to protect yourself, understand?”


    After crying for half a day, my voice was somewhat hoarse as I murmured, “Grandma and sister-inw


    are not strangers.”


    The voice overhead sternly and seriously said, “Regardless of whether

    considering others.”


    I pursed my lips, knowing that I couldn’t rify this issue, so I simply hummed in response and brushed


    it off.


    Hearing my response, he let out a small sigh, patted my back and said, “We’re at the hospital, get off


    the car, go check your injuries in the hospital.”


    I didn’t move, even when he pushed me, I still didn’t move.

    I couldn’t see his expression, only heard his somewhat strange voice ringing in my ear, “Tabatha, we’ve


    arrived at the hospital.”


    I grunted in response, but didn’t move.


    He was confused, asking doubtfully, “What happened?”


    After holding it in for a while, I really couldn’t hold it in any longer. My head was still resting on his


    shoulder as I reached out a hand and said, “Give me some paper.”


    “What’s wrong?” His voice, filled with suspicion, made me feel a bit embarrassed.


    Taking the paper he had thrust into my hand, I lowered my head to blow my nose. Only then did I


    slowly raise my head to look at him, meeting his shocked and surprised expression. Feeling somewhat


    embarrassed, I pointed at his chest and said, “Your clothes are dirty.”


    He lowered his head, catching sight of therge discolored patch on his ck suit. He paused slightly,


    his thin lips tightening, and said helplessly. “Tabatha, you’re really sloppy.”


    I pursed my lips, my face feeling somewhat hot. I hadn’t paid attention while crying, so my tears and


    snot had smeared on his clothes. I knew

    he was a clean freak, which was why I reminded him immediately.


    Seeing the guilt on my face, he sighed slightly and said, “It’s dirty, just wash it when we get back. Let’s


    go to the hospital now.”


    After speaking, without waiting for me to say anything else, he got out of the car, reached out to pick


    me up and take me directly into the hospital. I quickly dodged, pursing my lips and said, “I can walk by


    myself.”


    It was true that there were injuries on the body, but they were all superficial wounds. Those people at


    least didn’t intend to kill. Although it hurt, it was still possible to move.


    Seeing the determination on my face, he didn’t force it. His tall and slender figure stepped aside,


    extending his hand towards me.


    This time, I didn’t refuse. I ced my hand in his palm and followed him into the hospital.


    After a thorough examination, it turned out that there was nothing serious. There were just some areas


    that had been kicked, turning a bit bruised and purple, and the face had also been scraped.


    Fortunately, there were no major internal injuries. Taking some medicine and resting for a while would


    be enough.


    After a good day of fun, ending it in such a way made everyone feel ufortable.


    On the way back, I was thinking about the incidents at the tourist spots. Several things happened in a


    row, it was neither an ident nor a coincidence. Who on earth would dare to tantly target the


    Ilinton family like this?


    “Are you hungry?” Walter asked, looking at me with a light expression, his eyes and brows softened


    slightly.

    I shook my head, looking at him and asked, “Is there any progress on today’s matter? Who did it?”


    He looked at me, raised his hand to ruffle my hair, and said, “So, you’ve been thinking about this all


    along?”


    I nodded, didn’t deny, and said directly, “First it was Jacob’s death, and then today’s incident, what on


    earth does the person behind this want to do?”


    He slightly narrowed his dark pupils, his thin lips slightly upturned. He wasn’t as anxious or indignant as


    I was, but calmly said, “The fact that they’ve taken action shows that they’re getting restless. When


    people get anxious, they tend to slip up. It won’t be difficult to investigate now.”


    I was truly puzzled and asked, “Could it be an enemy targeting the Hinton family?”


    “It was aimed at me,” Walter began, his gaze clear and calm. “All his intentions were to disrupt my life,


    to make me restless.”
