Sean shook his head.
Just then, a phone call came through.
Sean picked up his phone to find a call from Quentin.
It was late. Why did Quentin call?
Though confused, Sean answered the call, and Quentin's voice immediately came from the phone.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late, Commander Lennon."
Quentin said on the phone. Though it was apologetic, his voice obviously panicked.
"Did something happen?" Sean asked.
"Well, my daughter's bodyguard, Uriah, fought Killer X today and got injured. The assassin's dagger is unexpectedly poisoned. Uriah is poisoned and in a coma. He's being hospitalized, but the doctors here seem to be at their wit's end."
'So that's it.'
Sean instantly felt that he had been careless.
During the day, when he found the female assassin, he did not immediately kill her because the bodyguard, Uriah, was present.
He would not have struck if Uriah had been able to tackle the female assassin on his own.
Had he known then that the female assassin's weapon was poisoned, he would never have let Uriah get hurt.
Although Uriah's performance was not satisfactory and he was hostile to Sean at first, he was righteous and responsible. Sean would not watch such a man die.
"You want me to help you? How did you know I'm a doctor?"
Sean asked, slightly curious.
"I didn't know you know medicine, Commander Lennon. I was going to ask you to ask the city defense army's doctor to help."
Quentin said in surprise.
