Adrian grimaced as he perceived the foul stench that emanated from the man’s vomit. He instantly took off the shirt, and luckily, he was wearing an undershirt underneath which hadn’t been hit by the vomit. He used the clean sides of his shirt to wipe the bits of vomit off his face and then tossed it to the floor. At this time, the minor tipsiness in his eyes had cleared off and he could think clearly again, so his movements weren’t as slow. His gaze shifted to the man and he stifled a laugh as he saw the drama being displayed by him. First, he had taken off his clothes, and was sweating profusely while repeatedly murmuring, “Too hot,” under his breath. Secondly, he fell off his seat and was rolling on the floor as he writhed like someone in pain. Some people who found the scene incredibly funny pulled out their devices and began to record. While the other patrons were more empathetic, and filled with pity for the poor man. They turned their gazes to Adrian, expecting

Finally calling it a night, Adrian left the bar with Ashley walking beside him. He had decided to escort her to where her car was parked before going on his own way. The moment they were about to cross to the other side of the road, the loud roaring engines of motorcycles echoed in the air. They both looked to see a good number of motorcycles heading towards them, and in a split second they were surrounded. The hairs at the back of Ashley’s neck prickled her skin and she subconsciously held onto Adrian’s arm. “Adrian, what’s happening?” She whispered in hushed urgency as her eyes frantically darted around the motorcycles that circled them. “Do you know these people?” Adrian followed her line of sight as he too searched the faces of the men on the Harley Davidson motorcycles. His brows furrowed as he couldn’t recognize any of them. That was until the person who looked to be the leader stepped out and revealed the person cowering behind him. It was the man from earlier, the

Adrian was lying shirtless and motionless on the operating table. His eyes were shut tightly, his skin extremely pale and clammy, and his lips had a slight blue tinge to them. His chest was still, and a tube connected to a ventilator was passed through his nose to help him breathe properly. The surgical team had also cleaned the blood that poured from his chest, but it was still bleeding, and it became a serious cause for concern. Doctor Arnold was momentarily frozen when he saw Adrian, and he had to blink severally to make sure he wasn’t imagining things. Never would he have expected that the patient he was treating was his boss, who had left the hospital completely fine just a few hours ago. His shock finally wore off after a few seconds and he sprang into action. For the next approximately five hours, Doctor Arnold and his team of surgeons performed an open heart surgery on Adrian to remove the bullet. Just as they were rounding up with the surgery, something unexpect

Doctor Arnold’s expression remained grim as he stepped out of the police station’s building.His entire body burned with the desire to find out the person who deliberately targeted and killed the young master.The moment he got into his car, he took out his phone with the aim of calling Jonah Leigh. If he couldn’t bring himself to break the news to Adrian’s father, maybe Jonah Leigh could do it.But he still dreaded Jonah’s reaction to the news.His thumb hovered over his phone screen for a moment longer before he finally decided to make the call.The line rang a few times before it connected. “Hello?” Jonah’s calm, but inquisitive voice came in through the receiver.Doctor Arnold took a huge gulp as his throat suddenly became dry. “M-Mr. Leigh, this is Arnold Lawson, Head Surgeon and Director of Lifemate Hospital.”“Doctor Arnold,” Jonah acknowledged, his tone warming up slightly. “To what do I owe this unexpected call? Is everything alright at the hospital?”Doctor Arnold hesitated

The clubhouse was silent for a beat longer before the leader suddenly threw his head back and let out a loud sound of mocking laughter.His fellow bikers stared at him like he had grown two heads, but the man kept cackling and shaking his head in incredulity.Soon enough, his laughter died down and was replaced by a sneer as his gaze condescendingly raked over Jonah.“You really expect me to believe you know the powerful Young family just because you’re dressed in a damn suit?!” His lips curled into a scowl as he gestured to the other bikers. “Don’t let this man fool you brothers. He’s just bluffing. Go ahead and teach him a lesson!”The bikers hesitated as they shared wary glances with each other, but their leader was adamant.“Now!” He thundered. Just as they sprang into action, Blaze’s voice rang out in the room. “No one will lay a finger on him!”The leader frowned and turned to Blaze. “What the hell are you talking about, brother? Can’t you see that he insulted us?”Blaze didn’
