Henry sighed lightly. He knew that Tammy treated him extremely well, but he thought that her means of doing things were often way too extreme.Take now, for instance. She was standing in front of him without caring about anything else. She thought that he was weak just because his legs were disabled.In reality, he did not need a woman to protect him like this.He reached out his hand to push Tammy away so that he could face Gerald on his own.“Old Master Chester, please decide whether you want to shoot me or not after listening to what I say.” Despite having a gun being aimed straight at his head, Henry still spoke to Old Master Chester in an honest tone.Gerald suddenly felt a sense of admiration for him. He had never met such a calm person. Was he not afraid of death at all?“Alright, I’ll give you one chance. Say what you want to say at once,” he said. He did not think that a few of his words would be able to change his mind.Even if his daughter was blocking his way, he wou
“There’s no need to do so.” Henry rejected her offer as he stared at her calmly. “I won’t be going anywhere. I’m staying here. I want to wait for Franky’s return.”“You…” Tammy met his gaze, and confusion flooded her mind. She looked straight into his eyes and asked, “Did you send Franky to rescue Sienna Newton or did he go there on his own accord?” “Why are you asking me that?” Henry asked in a light tone as his piercing eyes gleamed darkly.“I want to know if there’s a special relationship between both of you,” she said honestly. Henry paused for a while. Instead of answering her question, he asked her, “What if there is?”A cold expression flashed across Tammy’s face. “In that case, I want to find out what relationship both of you have.”Henry responded to her after a moment of silence. “It’s better for some things to remain unknown.”Tammy pursed her lips and stared at him. She did not want to ask him too much about it, but ever since Sienna Newton had appeared, she felt a
Sharon’s legs gave out below her before she felt the pain. She lost her balance, leaned to the side, and fell down.“Miss Sharon!” Franky appeared right then. He helped her up before she fell to the ground.He frowned when he saw the bloody wound in her chest. “You got shot!”The assassins were opposite them in the corridor. They did not intend to let her go just like that. They pointed their guns at them once again!Franky did not come empty-handed. There were a dozen bodyguards behind him. They all wielded guns.He pointed his gun at the assassins opposite them and fired it a few times. His shots were extremely precise. He shot one of the assassins with every shot he fired.After stopping their attack, he immediately carried Sharon in his arms and ran to the corner of the corridor so that the other bodyguards could take care of the assassins opposite them.“Miss Sharon, hang in there. I’ll take you to a doctor immediately!” Franky said in a low voice. Sharon gripped his arms
Henry frowned when she blocked his way. An unhappy glint flashed across his eyes. “You don’t have to ask me such a detailed question.” He could not allow anyone from Chester Manor to know about Franky and Sharon’s whereabouts right now. Even Tammy was not allowed to know.Tammy confirmed her own assumptions. “In that case, I should come along with you. After all, my father and Trevor are both looking for him. If I’m there with you, they won’t do anything to him.”Henry finally raised his head to look at her. His voice was characteristically cold. “You’d better not appear. Just pretend like you don’t know anything.” After speaking, he wheeled himself around to avoid her.“Henry!” Tammy shouted out at him. She finally could not resist asking him, “Other than meeting Franky, are you going to meet Sienna Newton as well?”Henry had lost his patience. He was afraid that Sharon would not make it!“If you have anything to say, tell me after I get back,” he said instead of replying to he
Sharon wondered if it was because she missed Simon too much. After a burst of crazy talk, she abruptly regained her consciousness!She opened her eyes, her lips still muttering, “Simon… Don’t go…”When Sharon woke up, she found that the person beside her hospital bed was Henry. She was currently tightly holding his hand, seemingly having regarded him as Simon when she lost consciousness.She was about to move but found that her chest hurt terribly. She then recalled that she had been shot and Franky was the one who rescued her.This must mean that she survived the ordeal, right?Seeing that she was awake, the man’s protruding Adam’s apple unconsciously slid down. Emotions were surging in his chest, and he seemed to have lost his words for a while.Instead, she was the one who spoke first, “Mr. Henry? Why… Why are you here?”At this moment, he was still Mr. Henry in her eyes.Henry pursed his lips and stared at her for a while. His voice sounded a little hoarse when he said, “I…
“You have to save her!” Henry said with a heavy tone.“We’ll do our best.”“Let’s go, President Zachary. We can’t disturb the doctor.” Franky went over to push him away.Henry’s gaze was fixed on Sharon’s pale face until the door closed, completely blocking his line of sight.His facial features were covered with coldness. Dang it! He would never let Gerald Chester get away with this!“Get in contact with Summer and tell her to see me as quickly as possible!” He abruptly gave Franky an order.Franky wondered why he suddenly wanted to see Summer. Could it be that he was trying to join forces with the Gabriel family to deal with the Chesters?He did not dare to ask anymore and quickly got into contact with Summer.Henry stayed in the hospital to keep watch over Sharon, up until the doctor told him that her life was no longer in danger. However, the doctor also said that she would not wake up so soon.It was already a day later by the time Summer arrived at the hospital to see hi
Just as Henry stepped foot into the detached manor, which Tammy had arranged for him in Chester Manor, he saw her eagerly walking toward him.However, when she arrived before him, she concealed the anxiety in her eyes once more. She deliberately tried to show him the demeanor that was apt for the young lady of Chester Manor. She slightly lifted her chin and said with a stern face, “So, you know your way back after all.”Henry looked up at her and did not take her current displeasure seriously. He merely said dimly, “Since you’re here, how could I not?”It sounded like he said that sentence to make her happy. However, in truth, he only said it out of the kindness he owed her.Even if he bore enmity with the Chester family, he and Tammy were still on relatively friendly terms with one another.It did not matter to her whether his words were genuine; Tammy still felt better after hearing them.She tried restraining her expression, and even her tone softened when she said, “You went
Henry stared at her for a few seconds and faintly muttered, “It’s not that.” After he said this, he quickly gulped down the juice.Upon seeing this, Tammy’s tense heartstrings abruptly loosened.15 minutes later, after Tammy accompanied him through his meal, she took the thin blanket from Jesse’s hand and placed it over Henry’s legs. Then, she pulled it up to cover his stomach.“You can take a break. Even if you can’t fall asleep, just close your eyes for a while and rest your mind.” She had a smile on her lips as she spoke. There was nothing peculiar about her current behavior.Strangely enough, Henry started feeling somewhat tired after his meal.He did not say much about it and merely closed his eyes.Tammy was beside him, quietly looking at him as he dozed off. After a while, she whispered to him, “Henry? Are you asleep now?”“Henry?” She called out to him a couple of times, yet he was not responding. It seemed like he had indeed fallen into a deep slumber.It was just that
