Luke thought that something happened to a resident of the apartment.
Unexpectedly, he saw Sydney.
He forgot to ask Davey who he was and why he was calling Sydney "Aunty".
He hurriedly went forward to check Sydney's condition and found that it was serious.
Her wrist was cut and dripping in blood, but the most serious injury was her head. There was a large, swollen lump on the back of her head.
Luke knew that he could not delay it, so he directly picked Sydney up. "Kiddo, I'm taking my darling to the hospital. Come with me!"
He still had many questions to ask the child.
"Mm-hm!" Davey nodded.
Luke carried Sydney and ran out of the staircase as fast as he could.
Davey also followed behind on his short legs.
In the car, Luke used his voice to set the GPS navigation to the nearest hospital and drove her there.
Ten minutes later, she entered the emergency room.
Luke and Davey sighed in relief and sat in the chairs to the side, anxiously waiting.
Then, Luke looked at Davey. "Hey, kiddo. Where are you from? What's your parents' number? I'll call them so they don’t worry." "My parents are in the army. My uncle gave me to my aunty to take care of me," Davey replied.
Luke found the word "aunty" rather unpleasant.
He frowned and asked, "Why are you calling my darling your aunty? Who's your uncle? He's shameless!"
Could it be Julien?
However, he had not heard of a kid in the Flint family.
When Davey heard Luke call his uncle shameless, he could not help but pout. "It's Hunter!"
Luke first froze for a moment, then his voice raised in anger. "What? It's that jerk, Hunter?" 'Wow, that jerk dumped his nephew to
Sydney and told the kid to call her Aunty.
'Hah. His trick is obvious. Does he think that no one will notice it?
'He's completely shameless!'
"Hurry up and call your uncle to pick you up." Luke huffed. "Ugh. Why isn’t he taking care of his own family? How could he make my darling take care of you?"
Davey swung his little legs and said regrettably, "Sorry, Mister, but my uncle is on a business trip and isn't in Port City."
"What?" Luke frowned. "He ran away?"
"No, he went on a business trip!" Davey corrected him.
Luke waved his hand. "It doesn't matter what he went there for. In my opinion, he ran away. I'll settle the accounts with him when he comes back. As for you..." Luke stared at Davey for a few seconds and finally sighed in defeat. "Forget it. What can I do about a little kid like you? All right, tell me how my darling got hurt."
His expression became serious.
Davey was also like a small adult. He answered with a solemn expression, "I don't know. Aunty said she was going out to buy ketchup, but she didn't come back after a long time, so I went downstairs to find her. When I called her, I heard her phone ringing on the staircase, so I went over and looked. Aunty was already like that when I arrived."
Luke's fists clenched upon hearing this. " Seems like I have to go check the monitoring of Shallow Bay."
Sydney's head was hit, and her wrist was cut. It was clear that someone deliberately hurt her.
However, it could not be said to be murder.
If it was murder, then the person would not just cut Sydney's wrist. Luke saw the injury. The wound was round and only took up a small area around the size of a peanut. It was not too deep either.
If the person wanted to kill her, they would have slit a straight line and cut deeply to sever the artery. Thus, the person who hurt Sydney must not want to kill her.
Otherwise, they would have just sliced the artery.
The same went for the head injury. There was only one blow dealt to the head. If the person really wanted to kill Sydney, they would not just cut her wrist but also hit the head multiple times. That way, the probability of killing her was higher. However, the person did not do so.
