Gordon glanced at her before shifting his gaze elsewhere, "I'm hurt. I need to rest in the car for a bit."
"Uncle Bard's wife is still alive." Arabella didn't hide anything. Looking straight into his eyes, she enunciated each word, "She's with Alexander. Uncle Bard has gone to demand her release. To prevent their people from storming the hospital, I need to go there and watch over Grandpa."
"Mrs. Griffith is still alive? Can it be true?" Gordon was taken aback. After all the effort back in the day, scouring high and low, and they hadn't found her, only for her to end up with Alexander.
It looked like tonight, it wasn't just Alexander who would pay the price, but all his men would be skinned alive.
Hiding such a big secret from the boss, they really must be tired of living.
"Ms. Bella, let me take you to the hospital," Gordon said as he came back to reality, offering to help.
"There's no need, Uncle Bard asked you to rest."
"An extra assistant is always helpful, especially tonight. It's not like any other night. Your Grandpa's life is the top priority, we can't afford any oversights. Let me accompany you, and I'll also call in some extra help to ensure your and Mr. Darren's safety," Gordon insisted, even going so far as to open the car door for her, urging her to get in.
Seeing his determination, Arabella got into the car.
Gordon was somewhat pleased and hurried to start the car.
The VIP floor of the hospital was so quiet one could only hear the sound of the receptionist flipping through patient files.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a bunch of bodyguards tensed up, hands reaching for their concealed blades, eyes fierce and unyielding, fixed on the elevator doors.
Seeing Arabella and Gordon step out, they quickly hid their weapons and bowed respectfully, "Ms. Bella, Gordon, what brings you here?"
"I've got Jeni and Buss leading teams over here too. Everyone be on high alert tonight, and after tonight, you can all rest easy."
Hearing Gordon's words, his men looked puzzled, "Gordon, what happened?"
Gordon shot him a look, "Don't ask what you don't need to know."
