Alvina Miller leaned against the chair and closed her eyes for a afternoon nap. It was unknown if it was because of her mental state, but when she was at home, she was given a soft and comfortable large bed, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. However, after running to the office, she was somehow able to sleep peacefully.
"Alvina!" Just as she was sleeping soundly, an urgent call caused her to open her eyes in a flash. She immediately saw Penelope standing in front of her with a panicked expression on her face: "Alvina, don't sleep anymore. Mr. Vice—President is injured, hurry up and go take a look at him."
"What?" Alvina Miller was so shocked that she almost fell off her chair. She asked anxiously: "What happened to him? How did he get hurt?"
"I heard that a group of rioters wanted to kill him in the reception room on the first floor. The scene was very chaotic, he left after being injured. I don't know the details, I just heard from the staff just now. Go quickly." Penelope tried her best to explain, but before she could finish it, Alvina Miller had already rushed out like a gust of wind.
Penelope looked at her anxious figure and could not help but sigh. She hoped that Joseph Grant was safe. The entire nation's people's hope was on him. How could this happen? It was too terrifying. This country really needed someone with ability to step forward and take care of it. Otherwise, they would really fall into the abyss of suffering.
Alvina Miller held her breath and ran to the corridor outside Vice—President's office quickly, seeing that there were many bodyguards and soldiers outside, all of them had serious expressions.
Alvina Miller panted heavily, she felt that his heart was about to stop beating, she did not dare imagine how serious of an injury Joseph Grant had suffered.
"Miss Miller, you're here." When Warren Hilton heard someone come in to report, he immediately came out and let her in.
Alvina Miller's eyes were rimmed red, she almost wanted to cry. Why did this happen again? Her heart really couldn't take such a blow anymore.
"What happened to him?" Once Alvina Miller opened her mouth, she was choked with sobs.
Warren Hilton immediately comforted her: "Sir's arm was just injured, go in and take a look."
Warren Hilton opened the door to the office for her. Alvina Miller hurriedly walked in and saw Joseph Grant sitting on the sofa. He had changed his clothes. At the moment, he seemed to get rid of his pale face, but he did not show the wound.
"Alvina, why are you here?" Joseph Grant stood up and walked towards her, his thin lips curling into a smile.
"Where is the wound? I want to see it. " Alvina Miller was so anxious that her beautiful face had turned white. When he saw that he looked like nothing had happened, she did not believe him and immediately asked for him.
Joseph Grant raised his right hand: "It's already been taken care of. It's not big deal, don't worry."
"How can I not be worried? I was scared to death when I heard that you were hurt. " The tears that Alvina Miller had been able to restrain just now, had already begun to slide down her face.
Joseph Grant saw that she was crying and felt a pain in his heart. He immediately extended his left hand to wipe her tears, but did not expect Alvina Miller to reach out and grab his hand to hold onto her chest and cheek. She cried even more fiercely.
Joseph Grant instantly felt his heart being crushed. That feeling of having his heart being crushed and reassembled was extremely uncomfortable, it made him blame himself, and he felt guilty.
"Alvina." He lightly called out her name, afraid that he would hurt her again.
Alvina Miller's eyes were tightly shut, like a frightened child. She only wanted to forcefully feel his existence. Her face rubbed against his palm, and in the next second, she threw herself into his embrace. Her two small hands tightly hugging his waist as he sobbed: "I'm really afraid."
Joseph Grant used his left hand that was not injured to lightly comfort her: "Alright, stop crying, I'm fine. Those people have been captured, I'll investigate this matter thoroughly."
Alvina Miller cried for a while and retreated from his embrace. She knew that it was useless for her to cry, as what had happened would definitely be taken care of by Joseph Grant.
"I'm sorry, am I too weak? Can I only cry in times of trouble?" Alvina Miller whispered.
Joseph Grant stared at her with a gentle gaze, chuckled, and shook his head: "Of course not, when you cry, I'm still very happy. At least you care about me."
Alvina Miller hurriedly wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. "Even if I don't cry, I still care about you."
"I know." The man's smile deepened.
