Yasmine was so angry that she was at a loss for words. After some thought, she finally said, “Mr. Boyd is amazing, but accidents can happen. We’re in the middle of nowhere, and he has a bullet wound. What if Billy ran to save himself and doesn’t return with reinforcements?”
“Then why don’t you tell me what I should do?!” Collin said grimly, “Do you think I’m not worried about my boss? Of course, I am! If we bring him back to treat him, we’ll undo everything he’s done. All we can do is wait.”
Yasmine was surprised that he yelled at her. After some time, she realized Collin was right. She held her head and said anxiously, “Is there nothing we can do to help?”
‘I only came to ensure Mr. Boyd’s safety.’
Collin noticed how anxious Yasmine looked and knew he had been too harsh. He calmed himself and said, “Just wait, okay? Boyd will text me when he’s safe.”
Yasmine sighed. “I guess that’s all we can do.”
Collin patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t worry. My boss will be okay.”
Then, he ordered his men, “Keep searching the area for ten more minutes. After that, you can pack up and leave.”
“Understood,” the others responded in unison before resuming the search. However, that did nothing to diminish Yasmine’s worries. She occasionally glanced at Collin, intending to say something.
Even so, nothing she could say would make things better.
