Chapter 56
Bang!
An off-road vehicle suddenly rushed out from the winding mountain road and rammed towards Ron's car.
Boom! Bang!
Ron's car spun 45 degrees and tumbled off the mountain.
Tumbling halfway, the car suddenly exploded. Fire and smoke burst towards the sky.
As for the off-road vehicle, its hood was tipped over the mountainside. One slight movement would be the end for the driver.
"Arthur...Arthur, I'm scared!" In the car, Chad looked at the bottom of the mountain and closed his eyes, his face ghostly pale.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have tried to look cool. He...was afraid of heights!
...
By the time Lucy was sent to the hospital, she was already in a coma due to excessive blood loss and an infection in her wound.
Arthur stood at her bedside and held her hand tightly. He looked at her unblinkingly and his heart ached.
If possible, he would rather be the one who was hurt instead of her!
"Mr. Johnson, please let go. I need to treat her wounds." The doctor's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he spoke carefully.
Arthur frowned and reluctantly let go of Lucy's hand, then looked at the doctor sharply.
Holding the cotton swab, the doctor was trembling because of Arthur's stare, and he couldn't put the swab to Lucy's wound even after many attempts.
Seeing this, Arthur looked angrier and his gaze became fierce.
Just as Arthur was about to lose his temper, Chad opened the door with a bang and shouted, "Arthur, come out. I have something urgent to tell you!"
"No." Arthur didn't even look at him. He was still staring at the doctor suspiciously.
A doctor who couldn't even treat a wound should be fired!
The doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead, and he really wanted to say, "If you leave, I can perform better." However, he just didn't have to courage to say it.
"Arthur, I really have something urgent to tell you this time!" Chad rushed in and took out a memory card from his back pocket. "I found this on the kidnapper. It has something to do with Lucy..."
Before he could finish talking, Arthur grabbed the card and said, "I'll go and take a look later."
After that, his gaze fell on Lucy and the doctor again.
Right then, he had to wait for Lucy's wounds to be treated. Only then would he feel relieved.
"Arthur, you'll only bother the doctor and affect his performance if you stay here!" Seeing that he had no intention of getting up, Chad's patience nearly ran out. "The stuff in the card is very important. You have to see it quickly! I swear!"
Hearing that, Arthur hesitated for a moment and stood up, but he made sure to warn the doctor, "Don't hurt her!"
"Don't worry." The doctor couldn't wait for him to leave.
However, even after the doctor had promised, Arthur still felt a little worried. He thought it would be better for him to stay there.
"Arthur, are you coming or not?!" It was the first time Chad ever saw Arthur being so hesitant, and he felt very impatient!
Arthur fixed his gaze on Lucy and didn't answer. He was about to sit down.
Right then, Kylah opened the door and walked in hurriedly.
She was even tugging a kid along with her, and she ignored everyone else and walked towards the sickbed.
"Lucy!" Kylah looked at Lucy, who was lying there unmovingly, and really felt like killing those d*mn kidnappers!
The little boy stood beside her, his eyes red-rimmed.
He sniffled and wiped the tears on his face. He didn't make any noise and looked very well-behaved.
Arthur tilted his head and looked at the little boy. A strange feeling filled his chest.
He looked closely and felt that the little boy looked somewhat familiar, but Arthur didn't know where he had seen him before.
"Okay, someone is looking after Lucy now. You don't have to worry anymore. Come on, hurry up and see what's inside!" Chad had always been impatient, and since Arthur still didn't budge, Chad pulled him away.
"Okay." Arthur thought for a while, but he couldn't recall where he had seen the little boy, so he stopped mulling over it.
Chad dragged him into an empty ward, where he inserted the memory card into a reader and plugged it into his laptop.
Before playing the video, Chad warned him gravely, "Arthur, I'm telling you this beforehand, the content is very...very violent. Control your emotions!"
Arthur frowned and said okay. He was still thinking about Lucy. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
He wondered when she would wake up, and if she would still be in pain when she did.
"Also..." Chad wanted to warn him again, but he knew it was useless, so he just played the video.
It was a footage of Lucy being abused.
Arthur had only watched the beginning, but he was already clenching his fists so tight till his knuckles went white. He was burning with rage.
"Arthur." Chad stood up nervously and pressed the pause button. "How about...we stop watching?"
The footage was indeed very violent, and making Arthur watch it was like torture.
Veins bulged in Arthur's forehead and his whole body was tense. "Keep playing it."
He wanted to see clearly how much suffering Lucy had gone through because of him.
Then, he would firmly remember to make it up to her a hundredfold and make her abusers pay for it a hundredfold!
Chad thought Arthur wasn't acting normal, but he didn't dare to comment. He pressed the play button ——
"Bah, I can't f*ck you? How dare you f*cking glare at me? Believe me when I say I'll f*ck you to death right now!
"You shameless b*tch!
"How dare you look down on me, sl*t! Let me disinfect you!"
The man in the video cursed at her harshly and vulgarly.
Along with those insults, he even tortured her.
He slapped her, spit in her face, ripped out her hair, kicked her in the stomach, poured salt on her wound...
Any one of those actions was enough to make an ordinary girl die from pain.
Lucy was curled up in pain and stained with blood, but the kidnapper laughed with all his yellow teeth showing and kept kicking and berating her.
Chad could already feel her pain just by watching.
Actually, he didn't want to watch the video either, but he was afraid that Arthur would not believe him when he said that Lizbeth was the one behind all this. Therefore, he had to let Arthur watch it with his own eyes.
Veins bulged on Arthur's toned arms, and he was breathing so hard as though he was suffocating.
Lizbeth!
It really was her!
"Arthur." Arthur looked pretty terrifying right then, and Chad talked as softly as he could. "Now do you believe that Lizbeth's behind it? How do you plan to deal with her?"
"Don't bother about her. Where's the kidnapper?" Arthur's voice was terrifyingly calm. As compared to ferocity and violence, it sounded very strange and eerie.
"Arthur!" Chad wasn't scared anymore. He only felt furious. "You're really not going to bother about Lizbeth? She hired the kidnappers! Everything in the video was what she ordered them to do. If you let her go just like this, it's too unfair for Lucy!"
Even he couldn't stand Arthur being so biased, let alone Lucy!
Lizbeth should be sent to jail for doing such a thing!
"Where is the kidnapper?" Arthur repeated word by word.
Seeing that Arthur was angry, Chad's anger dissipated completely, and he answered reluctantly, "In my villa by the river."
