Rodney rushed in and kicked open the balcony door o n the second floor.
"Don't come in..."
A vase was thrown at him.
Rodney hurriedly dodged. When he looked into the room, he saw Sarah disheveled and curled in the corner with tears on her face. At her feet lay a fat middle-aged man’s naked and disgusting body, as well as his bleeding head.
He knew at a glance what happened.
"Sarah, don’t be scared. It’s me," Rodney said softly.
"Rodney, you're here. Why are you so late?" Sarah slowly slumped down at the corner, hugging herself into a ball helplessly and painfully. "I thought you wouldn't come. I was so scared. He kept trying to force himself on me, and I had no choice but to smash his head. I don’t know if he's still alive. I might have killed someone."
Rodney suddenly took pity on her.
He hurriedly took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. Then, he squatted down and checked the middle-aged man’s breathing. "He's not dead. We'll send him to the hospital."
"But..." Sarah was frightened. "What if he calls the police..."
"I'll send him to a private hospital. Chester won’t know about this." Rodney comforted her. "And... he won't be able to stay in Canberra anymore. Someone like him doesn't have the right to own a manor."
"Thank you." Sarah looked at him with tears of gratitude. "I didn't expect you to come."
Rodney was a little afraid to meet her eyes. "I'll make a call first."
He dialed his assistant’s number and told him the details.
After hanging up, he hesitated and said to Sarah, "I’ll send you back."
"...Okay." Sarah hesitated a moment before nodding. However, when she got up, her body fell to the ground i n pain.
"Easy there." Rodney subconsciously held her.
"I'm sorry. I bumped my knee when I pushed him," Sarah said in a low voice.
Rodney thought about it and finally picked her up.
