Chapter 76: Setting the Trap

At that time, only Avery could see; everyone else’s view was blocked. That was why Waylon needed Avery to wake up and give a statement.

“So, this whole series of coincidences was actually man-made. Someone knocked him off the stage first, making him fall directly under the crystal chandelier, so he would be hit.”

Waylon nodded. “That’s right.”

No wonder Waylon had been keeping people stationed around Avery.

“If that’s the case, Avery definitely saw the culprit, at least saw who pushed him… then, Avery is in some danger. Given Henry’s nature, if one strike didn’t succeed, there would definitely be a follow-up.”

Since Avery wasn’t dead, there was a high chance he would reveal who the attacker was. Henry would surely make another attempt.

Chase said, “I suggest you find someone to guard Avery twenty-four hours a day. Our doctors and nurses can’t stay in the room all the time, and the assistants also need to rest. We can’t completely protect him.”

“I was thinking the same thing. Since he’s still unconscious and could be in danger at any time, I’ll have Ryan guard him and cooperate with you.”

“Me?”

Waylon grabbed his shoulder and lowered his voice. “We’re preparing to set a trap.”

By the time Waylon left, it was already seven o’clock, and the sky had darkened. Chase once again checked all of Avery’s data. Everything was within normal ranges. Only then did he push the door open and leave.

Outside the door, two nurses were chatting. Chase hugged the clipboard with the checkup sheets and handed it to a nurse. “This patient needs intensive care. Check his data every half hour and log everything. It’s best not to leave him alone.”

“Okay.”

The hospital nurses still listened to Chase very well. After all, he was Mr. Chase—now good-looking but also capable, and he treated them kindly in daily life. Who wouldn’t like someone like that?

Chase got dressed and left. He went downstairs into the underground parking garage but didn’t get into his own car. Instead, he got into another silver mid-sized van that looked like an ordinary van. As soon as the door opened, Chase slipped inside.

9:24 PM

staring at a screen.

“Everything’s installed. Can you see clearly from the angles you gave me?” Chase asked.

That afternoon, before leaving, Waylon had given him a task.

Finished

Waylon shared the same view as Chase: since Henry hadn’t succeeded this time, in order to prevent Avery from waking up and revealing the attacker, Henry would definitely find a way to kill Avery.

Stationing a few people to watch Avery could indeed protect his safety, but before that, they had to find out who would make a move. Waylon’s group of colleagues stood out too much. On the other hand, Chase, as a doctor, didn’t attract much attention.

So Waylon gave Chase a few miniature cameras and had him place them at specific points. This way, the entire ward would be under their surveillance; they could both catch the attacker and protect Avery’s safety.

There were also colleagues upstairs waiting in the fire escape, pretending to be family members of patients. They all wore Bluetooth earpieces. As soon as they spotted someone approaching, they would immediately move in to capture them.

Cloud Hospital was a private hospital and didn’t allow random people to enter. Actually, when Chase came that afternoon, he had already noticed that there were quite a few of Avery’s fans and media reporters gathered at the main entrance, all waiting for firsthand news. Several people disguised themselves and tried to sneak in, but they were stopped by security.

Before getting off work, Chase had also told security that no one was allowed in—even if the police came to make an arrest, they had to ask him first before letting them through. Cloud Hospital had always operated like this. Otherwise, why would those wealthy people choose to come here?

“I can see clearly. You did a good job.” Waylon waved his hand, and someone immediately handed Chase a cup of coffee.

The closer it got to the end of the year, the colder it became. They said it would snow over the weekend. Even sitting together in the van, it was still freezing cold. Fortunately, the coffee was hot. Chase held the cup with both hands, warming himself, and watched the surveillance footage with Waylon.

A little over ten minutes later, the first person entered the ward—a nurse. She just looked around, recorded all the data on the sheet, confirmed that Avery’s vital signs were stable, and then turned and left.

Chase said, “Actually, not really. You can tell just by looking at her eyes she’s a fan of Avery. That’s why she fought to get assigned to the ICU to watch over him.”

Waylon was speechless. Even though the Fred family was in the entertainment business, Waylon, the rightful heir, didn’t understand it at all. What was so attractive about men drawing their eyebrows and wearing makeup? He had no idea what these girls liked about that. Just looking at Avery’s features, he was indeed a handsome and good-looking young man, but he still didn’t understand why so many people liked him.

Half an hour passed while they watched. Chase was just about to send Wendy a message to tell her he was with Waylon when his phone suddenly vibrated.

Everyone’s phones inside the van were on silent. From the outside, no one would be able to guess there were people inside.

“Are you not coming back yet?” Wendy’s voice was a little hoarse, like she had spent the whole afternoon in meetings, talking too much. “It’s already so late. I checked with the hospital. You’re off work.”
