Chloe was left speechless. If things were really like this, then it wouldn't be impossible for some kind of punishment to happen.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Trust in the doctor. Let’s wait until after the surgery." Chloe said nonchalantly, her hand on Phoebe's back, giving a light pat.
Her words and expression were just like the Phoebe she knew from the shopping mall and in front of the camera, brimming with confidence and completely calm and collected. It just... didn't quite match her current outfit.
With Chloe by her side, Phoebe magically didn't feel so nervous anymore. She sniffed, her eyes scanning Chloe before pointing at her clothes and saying, "You look pretty cute in that outfit."
Chloe looked down at her own pastel clothes, smiling slightly.
Cute...
The thought of someone picking out this outfit made her look up at Damon, who had a somewhat troubled expression on his face.
Just when she thought he was angry, Damon pulled out a thermos from somewhere and handed it to her. His gaze shifted to Phoebe as he coldly asked, "What do you know about that guy?"
Phoebe shook her head. "I'm not sure, today at the police station, I only heard his assistant call him Mr. Azriel, apparently he just returned from abroad..."
Damon's brows furrowed slightly.
Mr. Azriel... Just returned from abroad...
Just as he was lost in thought, the door to the emergency room suddenly opened. The doctor came out first, his mask hanging on one ear, clearly having just finished the surgery.
Phoebe's body went soft, but she rushed forward, nervously asking the doctor. "Doctor, how is it?"
"Mm, the operation went well, and we have already pumped his stomach. Please take good care of him."
Phoebe let out a long sigh of relief, quickly bowing to the doctor in thanks. "Thank you!"
As long as he was okay, everything was fine. Everything could be resolved slowly.
Then, the medical assistants came out pushing a hospital bed.
Azriel was still unconscious, his face so pale it was hard to look at. Phoebe immediately went up to him, her eyes red as she looked at Azriel. "Thank God, you're still alive."
If anyone else saw her, they would definitely be moved by her expression and relief; it was rare to see a woman care so much about a man. This kind of emotion was truly touching.
But only those in the know would understand, that the reason Phoebe was like this, was simply because...
She didn't have to go to jail.
Phoebe followed the gurney all the way, and when they passed by Damon, his dark eyes flickered with surprise when he saw the face of the man on the gurney, and then a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
Chloe, sensitive to the change in the man beside her, looked up at him. Seeing his expression at that moment, she suddenly said, "What are you doing? Are you laughing at me?"
Damon looked down at her, the amusement in his eyes had not yet faded. "I just think that it's a small world."
Chloe, being smart, immediately asked, "You know that man?"
