Chapter 1094 Need His Wife to Take Care of Him

As soon as the sudden news broke, all the reporters outside the civil affairs bureau went crazy. Even

Mavis and Moore were stunned.

Anthony didn't show up because he got into a car accident on his way here??

Malcolm and Chad exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Soon, there was commotion in the crowd, with many reporters already digging for information on which

hospital Anthony was currently in.

The scene became chaotic.

Chad leaned close to Malcolm and whispered, "Since it's not just an ordinary traffic accident but a

criminal case, we need to protect Anthony's whereabouts."

Malcolm nodded calmly and arranged things methodically, "Evacuate the crowd at the civil affairs

bureau entrance. No one is allowed to inquire about NIB's cases before they are publicly tried. Chad,

you and I will go to the hospital."

He then looked at Mavis, "We have limited information right now about how serious his injuries are from

this car accident. Do you want to come with us?"

Mavis hesitated for a moment.

If Anthony's car accident today had anything to do with their divorce proceedings that he rushed over

here for, then she would have an unshirkable responsibility.

After all, they were still legally married; it wouldn't be right if she didn't go see him after something like

this happened.

She nodded her head, "I'll go."

Moore immediately followed suit, "Then I'll come too."

Malcolm glanced casually at him and refused without room for argument, "Unrelated people can't come

along. If you leak any NIB's classified information because of this incident, you will bear your own

consequences."

Moore clearly felt targeted; his expression under his glasses became somewhat embarrassed.

Mavis quickly intervened with diplomacy, "Mr. White is right; our priority now is not to interfere with

NIB's investigations while prioritizing our injured's wellbeing. You should head back first. I'll call you if

there are any updates or developments."

Having said that much already left Moore no choice but to nod in agreement reluctantly.

Ted led his team of people quickly, evacuating everyone from the area around them as planned earlier

by Malcolm before leaving himself too.

Chad led Mavis onto an armed vehicle which soon drove away from that street corner where everything

had happened earlier.

Hopevale General Hospital in Suham.

When Mavis, Malcom and Chad arrived at the hospital, they learned that Anthony had already been

transferred from emergency care into regular patient care. It seemed like he wasn't in danger of losing

his life anymore.

The three of them went straight towards where he was being treated.

Anthony had just woken up when they arrived. Kane was by his side helping him cut fruit while Zack sat

on another side of bed using laptop computer seriously listening attentively as Anthony explained work-

related issues.

The atmosphere among them was inexplicably harmonious.

As soon as Mavis entered, she noticed Anthony's left leg in a cast and his face was slightly pale.

However, he seemed to be in good spirits and didn't appear to be seriously injured.

Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze first fell on Mavis' face without a trace, and then looked

towards Malcolm at the very front.

He lightly curled his lips and gave a lazy smile, "Just a little injury. It's really an honor to have both Mr.

White and you come personally to visit me."

It was obvious that it was just polite talk, and Malcolm couldn't be bothered to respond with Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

pleasantries. With a single glance, Kane and Zack stood up and left the room after giving a slight bow

as a sign of respect.

"What's going on?" Malcolm walked over and asked.

Anthony looked lazy and indifferent as he said, "It was just a minor accident. When I was driving to the

civil affairs bureau, a out-of-control truck hit me. Luckily, I survived but my leg got injured."

In the face of a out-of-control large truck, the survival rate of a car accident was very low, and Anthony

seemed to only have minor injuries. Was it really just luck?

Chad walked to the foot of the bed and tapped on the cast on his leg with a sly smile. "Ouch, does it

hurt here?"

He frowned and let out a soft hiss, as if in pain, but with a playful tone, "Are you really going to treat me

like this in front of my wife? Do I have no one to back me up?"

Several people's gaze finally turned to Mavis, who had a very low presence since she came in.

Mavis was taken aback and nervously squeezed her palms, bowing her head without saying a word.

Anthony continued, "Today's incident was completely unjustified. Mr. White, you must bear witness to

what happened to me."

Malcolm stared at him without changing his expression and asked, "How do you want me to witness

it?"

"If it weren't for the trip to the Civil Affairs Bureau today, which exposed my whereabouts, I'm afraid I

wouldn't have encountered this misfortune. Therefore, my wife has an inescapable responsibility to

stay and take care of me until I recover. Do you think this is reasonable?"

From a moral standpoint, even if today's matter had nothing to do with Mavis, the wife should stay and

take care of her husband who was seriously ill.

Malcolm looked indifferent and didn't want to get involved in the grievances between the couple. "This

is your family matter, and it's up to you to decide."

He spoke and turned his head to look at Chad.

Chad quickly understood and took out his iPad from his pocket. "Alright, the condolence segment is

over. Let's write a report quickly. Repeat the location, time, and details of the morning accident in full."

Anthony also cooperated and repeated the same words.

When he was recording the confession, Mavis was quietly listening next to them without interrupting

Malcolm and Chad's work from beginning to end.

Chad turned off his iPad. "Get some rest. We'll come back tomorrow to continue filling in the details of

the case," he said.

Malcolm put his hands in his pockets and walked away, with Chad following closely behind him.

Once they were gone, only Mavis and Anthony remained in the hospital room. Mavis stood at the foot

of the bed, motionless and lost in thought.

Anthony cleared his throat to get her attention. "Why are you standing so far away? I'm not a monster

or anything. I'm just a patient who needs someone to take care of. Come sit over here."

She didn't move.

His voice was softer than usual as he continued speaking casually, "Kane left halfway through peeling

an apple for me earlier. Can you help me out?"

Mavis looked at the half-peeled apple on the bedside table but still didn't move as if she was wary

about something.

Anthony lowered his gaze and looked at his leg that was now encased in plaster cast with sadness

hidden behind long lashes.

"During that split second when I had the accident earlier, I thought Alistair would lose his father forever.

I promised him that we'd spend a day together at an amusement park but never got around to it

because of work commitments," he said regretfully.

As soon as Alistair's name came up, Mavis' expression changed slightly for once.

She walked over and sat down on a chair next to Anthony's bed before picking up where Kane left off

by peeling an apple for him without complaint or hesitation.

While she busied herself with peeling the apple, Anthony stared intently at her face.

It made her feel uneasy all over until she decided to break the silence, "The thing we agreed today was

going be about getting the certificat wasn't exposed by me but Moore. He didn't know what kind of

danger this would bring you or that Callahan Group's enemies would target you."

Anthony leaned against headboard while running tongue lightly across teeth looking slightly gloomy.

"That friend of yours is too meddlesome," He replied irritably while feeling annoyed enough and

wanting to kick Moore out himself right then and there!

Unexpectedly though, Mavis spoke first, "He messed up this time around. I'll make sure he comes here

personally apologize himself. I know you don't want him staying here indefinitely either. In Bostrain, I

don't have anyone trustworthy watching my company so I can't relax until someone is keeping tabs on

it. I'll arrange for him go back soon."

He raised an eyebrow slightly, his blue eyes glinting under dim light before giving her lips a small quirk.

"Then let's forget about divorce talk temporarily until after my recovery?"
