Chapter 33
โTake her away! If sheโs in my hands, Jared will come to me,โ Wilbur commanded. His subordinates immediately took Yasmin away.
โYasmin, Yasminโฆโ Frida and Zeke called after the departing car. Josephine, however, was stunned.
Her phone rangโit was Jared. He hadnโt received earlier notifications due to the mountain's lack of signal. While driving back to Yeringham, he saw her missed calls and returned her call.
โJosephine, your phoneโs ringing!โ Frida urged, gently nudging her.
Shaken, Josephine answered. Tears streamed down her face as she saw Jaredโs name. โJared, where are you? Yasminโs been kidnapped, and Tommyโs hurt. Heโs bleeding so muchโฆโ
Jared was stunned. A murderous aura emanated from him; his expression darkened. โWait for me. Iโll be there immediately,โ he said before hanging up. He sped towards Yeringham.
Meanwhile, Josephine and the others were frantic, surrounded by blood.
โW-We should call an ambulance, or else he may die!โ Josephine whispered, terrified.
Zeke started to call, but Tommy weakly raised a hand. โN-Noโฆ Donโtโฆ Iโll wait for Mr. Chance. Heโll heal me,โ he choked out.
Though badly injured, he remained conscious. He knew hospital doctors would operate, damaging his energy. He trusted Jared to heal him without surgery.
โHim? Jaredโs a doctor, too?โ Frida asked, shocked.
โYes. He saved my fatherโs life once,โ Josephine explained.
โAmazingโฆโ Frida exclaimed. โRich, a skilled fighter, a doctor, handsome, and loyal! Heโs perfect! Josephineโs so lucky!โ
Since Tommy refused the hospital, Zeke arranged for him to be carried back to their hotel.
Over half an hour later, Jaredโs car screeched to a halt outside. He burst into the room.
โJared, youโre here!โ Zeke exclaimed.
โWhereโs Josephine?โ Jared asked anxiously.
โSheโs fine, in her room with Frida. But Tommyโs dying! You need to see him!โ Zeke urged, pulling Jared to Tommyโs room.
