Chapter 1072
Darcy and Carson got out of the car and asked casually, “Where’s Mr. Everett?”
Leo forced a smile out of the corner of his lips and said, “Oh, he… he’s in the house now!”
Upon hearing Leo’s words, Darcy and Carson did not say anything else and hurriedly walked into the
house.
“Miss Bridges, Mr. Everett…”
Aria’s expression was a little dull. She said, “Shh, lower your voice. Bruce is sleeping.”
Darcy and Carson quickly shut up when they heard Aria.
Was Mr. Everett still in the mood to sleep?
“Okay!”
“Why don’t you take a rest? You must be exhausted after your long journey.”
“A little.”
“Your wound is a little inflamed, and you need to get a doctor to treat it.
“Leo, go and treat Darcy’s wound.”
“Okay. Follow me!” Leo said and brought Darcy to treat his wound.
Darcy’s wound was already inflamed and swollen beyond recognition. Leo took out an emergency medical kit and began to treat his wound. Then, he gave Darcy an anti-inflammatory injection.
“Eat something, take a shower, and have a good rest. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.” “… Alright then!” Darcy and Carson nodded in agreement.
During this period, they were so fed up with canned goods in no man’s land. They hadn’t bathed for over half a month and smelled like savages.
Leo found two sets of clean clothes for Darcy and Carson and brought them to the bathroom.
“Take a shower first. I’ll prepare something for you to eat.”
“Thank you.”
After Darcy and Carson showered, Leo prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.
“Why isn’t Mr. Everett up yet?”
“That’s right! Let Mr. Everett have dinner with us!”
“Well, Mr. Everett is too tired. Let him have a good sleep.”
“These food are all prepared for you. You don’t have to stand on ceremony.”
“Alright then!”
Leo said nothing more and smiled as he left the dining room.
Carson and Darcy glanced at each other and vaguely felt something was wrong.
“Darcy, do you think Mr. Everett and Miss Bridges are having an affair? I felt their relationship is weird. Mr. Everett is not cheating on his wife, is he?”
“Why are you asking like that?” asked Darcy, eating the pasta in his bowl in confusion,
“Look. We’ve been here for a while. They don’t even let us see Mr. Everett. What does it mean?”
Darcy’s face darkened. “I think it’s weird, too. Anyway, Aria is not a good woman. We have to be careful and not fall into her trap.”
Upon hearing Darcy’s words, Carson didn’t dare to eat the food on the table anymore. “Will she poison
us?”
“I don’t think so! At least not now.”
“If he wanted to harm us, he would have done it when he treated my wound.”
That’s true.
Maybe Mr. Everett is really too tired.”
Carson yawned loudly as he spoke. “Well, we’ll have a good sleep tonight.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow! I feel like every bone in my body hurts right now.”
Carson hastily ate something and went to the bedroom. He couldn’t wait to sleep.
For the past few days, he had been sleeping in the car in the no man’s land. He could not eat or sleep well. Now, he finally felt that the bed was the most comfortable home in the world.
Being able to sleep in bed was the happiest thing.
The next day.
“Miss Bridges, we have to see Mr. Everett. Mr. Everett should be awake, shouldn’t he?”
“Not yet!”
Darcy and Carson looked even more suspicious.
“Let’s have breakfast first! We’ll talk after breakfast.”
“No, no. We have something important to report to Mr. Everett. Mr. Everett slept for a day and a night. Why isn’t he awake yet?”
Darcy and Carson already wanted to go to the room to look for Bruce as they spoke.
Upon seeing this, Aria knew that she could not hide it anymore. “I’ll tell you the truth! Bruce is injured and is still unconscious.”
“Is that so?” Darcy said in a somber tone. “Then we have to go in and take a look.”
“Okay!” Aria replied indifferently and led Darcy and Carson to the bedroom.
Creak! The bedroom door was pushed open.
The light in the bedroom was dim, and there was a man lying on the bed.
Darcy and Carson took a few steps forward.
The man lying on the bed seemed to be in a deep sleep. There were a few bottles of IV drip on his arm.
“Mr. Everett…”
Darcy peeked at the bed. It was indeed Mr. Everett lying on the bed. However, Mr. Everett seemed to be getting tender-skinned without seeing him for more than ten days.
Even though the lighting was poor, one could tell that Mr. Everett’s face was pale.
Although Bruce’s skin was not tanned before, it was definitely not fair. Especially since he had been in no man’s land for so many days, it was inevitable that his skin would be rough and tanned.
It had only been a few days, but his skin color had improved.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Everett? Why has he been sleeping all the time?”
Leo sighed and said, “Oh, he accidentally got infected with the virus.
“Don’t get close to him. We’re trying to find a way to detoxify him.”
When Darcy and Carson heard that, a trace of surprise and suspicion appeared on their faces.
But they did not dare to say anything now, let alone approach the bed.
Aria was the best Ph.D. in biology, specializing in various viruses. Perhaps Mr. Everett had fallen into her trap again this time. It was just like that last time. Mr. Everett was inexplicably infected with the virus and almost lost his life.
“When will Mr. Everett wake up?”
“It might take another two to three days. Go out and don’t disturb him. We’ve already injected him with a virus vaccine. He needs a good sleep.”
“…Oh, okay!” Darcy and Carson left the bedroom nervously.
After returning to their room, Darcy’s expression was even more solemn as he said worriedly, “Carson, I feel that something is amiss/
“I think so, too. Aria didn’t do anything to Mr. Everett again, did she?”
“Is it possible? The woman has been having ulterior motives toward Mr. Everett, Who knows what tricks she has up her sleeve this time?”
The more Darcy spoke, the more flustered he became.
He had seen Aria’s methods.
“So what do we do now? We can’t just sit back and do nothing, can we?”
Darcy and Carson glanced at each other and felt uneasy!
Although they were very skilled, they were brave but not clever. At least in front of Aria, their intelligence would really be crushed by her.
Now that Mr. Everett was unconscious, they did not dare to act rashly.
“Let’s wait and see when Mr. Everett will wake up. We can only wait for Mr. Everett to wake up making the next step.”
before
“Well, that’s the only way.”
Beep, beep, beep.
Carson’s phone rang as they were talking.
Carson picked up the phone and looked at it, startled. “Oh, no, it’s Mrs. Everett again.”
“Hurry up and answer the phone.”
Carson braced himself and answered the call. “Hello, Mrs. Everett.”
Joanna’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Carson, I’m in Melta now. Come to the airport and pick me up right away.”
Carson was even more shocked when he heard that. “What? Mrs. Everett, have you also come to Melta?” “Yes, I’m at the Walston Airport now. Come and pick me up immediately!” Joanna’s voice was a little cold!
“Oh, oh. Got it.”
“What is it?”
“It’s over. Mrs. Everett is here in Melta. She’s at Walston Airport now. She wants me to pick her up.” Darcy felt a headache coming on when he heard Carson’s words.
