At Hospital Athana, Hackettâs head was wrapped in gauze. Sherri stood at the side and felt her heart ache as she watched. She kept asking the nurse to be gentler. âPlease be gentler. Hackett , are you feeling any discomfort? Iâm dying from the pain. Please donât have any sequelae.â
âIâm fine. He ambushed me from behind. When Iâm discharged from the hospital, Iâll kill him.â His expression was too big, and the back of his head hurt. He gritted his teeth in pain.
âDonât move. Let the nurse bandage it. Did you offend someone? Why did that person hit your head as soon as he came up?â
Wasnât this killing him? He had a concussion from being hit.
Sherri was secretly glad that she had a concussion. Otherwise, she would have to be a widow.
Sherri even suspected that Hackettâs life was destined to be tumultuous. His brain was being shaken plenty of times, either hitting a tree or being ambushed.
Considering his long lifetime, he might need some protection for his head. Perhaps they should consult a master or consider a name change. Even if itâs just calling him a Shock Absorber, it might not be a bad idea Rose heard the nurse say that Mr. Blackwell had a concussion, rushed over, and as soon as she entered the ward, she saw Hackettâs head wrapped like it had exploded on the frontlines. Subconsciously, she looked at Hackettâs legs. âWhat happened?
Hackett, did you get into a fight and lose?â
He already had a headache, but after hearing Roseâs words, Hackett felt even more headache.
Rose and Sherri were concerned as they sat down to analyze whether Hackett had recently offended anyone. However, considering the Blackwell familyâs longstanding dominance in the property business in Athana, it seemed unlikely that anyone would choose to attack Hackett.
Listening to the two womenâs endless analysis, analyzing this and that, for a moment, he felt that it was a pity that the two of them did not become police officers.
Hackettâs head throbbed. He felt that his concussion had worsened. In the end, in order not to worry Sherri, he did not mention the actual situation.
After spending a few hours in the hospital room and conducting her own investigation, Rose, along with Sherri, couldnât reach any conclusive results. She worried about Hackettâs well-being after leaving the hospital and anticipated potential trouble, so she decided to call her brother. âHello, Brother.â
Frank answered the phone, âSpeak, what is it?â
Rose was not in the mood to joke. He was really worried about Hackett. âBrother, Hackett was beaten up. He has a concussion and is staying in the ward. I donât know which lunatic hit him on the back of the head. Brother, help me investigate.â
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. âGot it. Iâm hanging up.â
Rose didnât say anything else. She knew her brother would help. She put her phone back in her pocket and prepared to leave work.
At night, in Hackettâs hospital room, two people appeared abruptly. One was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt paired with black shorts, lazily leaning against the doorway. The other was dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and black casual pants, casually pulling a chair and sitting by the bed.
If Trevon had a notebook in his hand, he would have taken a statement.
Hackett sat on the bed and looked at the two people in the ward. âWhy do I feel that the two of you arenât here to visit me? You look like youâre here to see if Iâm dead.â
Trevon crossed his legs. âDo you think we didnât bring chrysanthemums?â
âItâs so late at night. Can you say something more terrifying?â If they continued to talk about this topic, Hackett felt that he might die on the spot.
Frank still didnât enter the room. The door was wide open, and the figure of a nearly 5.9 feet man blocked the entrance, though slightly tilted. Upon hearing Trevonâs words, he chuckled.
âIâve been caught by you. Iâve been waiting at the police station. Iâve been listening to your complaints for a few hours.â After saying that, Frank dug his ears.
Hackett immediately became alert. He wasnât accustomed to having bodyguards with him. Upon leaving the company that day, he headed to the restroom for a quick break. While using the toilet, halfway through zipping up, he was struck from behind, and he promptly fell to the ground.
He did not know if the person who saved him had helped him zip it up. In any case, when he woke up, the zipper was all the way to the top.
However, when he woke up, he was already in the ward. Sherri was crying beside him, like he was at a funeral. He almost thought that he was dead.
âWhich bastard attacked me? Iâll damn well annihilate him.â Hackett, anxious to know the culprit, fumed and vented his frustration with a string of expletives.
Trevon crossed his arms as if he were watching a show. His words were filled with persuasion, but his tone did not have the slightest hint of persuasion. âA multimillionaire has become a multimillionaire. Itâs not a loss to be beaten up by others for a few hours.â
âGabrielâs father, David?â Hackett suddenly raised his voice.
Trevon and Frank did not speak. They looked at him in a daze. Their expressions told him yes. Hackett was so angry that he smashed a pillow beside him onto the blanket and fell to the ground.
Hackettâs head felt a little dizzy. He supported his head and sat down again. After resting for a while, he did not feel dizzy.
Frank stood up straight and bent down to pick up the pillow. He patted it a few times and casually threw it back onto the bed. He pulled up a stool and sat down. He crossed his legs and placed his hands behind his head. âAre you looking down on us?â
Trevon was also holding his breath. Fortunately, he had a concussion today. If he really died, it would be too late for regrets. âHe probably wants to cut ties. Heâs really capable.â
Seeing that the two of them were both angry and mocking each other, Hackett explained, âHow would I know that this guy would find me? Besides, I did it secretly. I didnât publicize that I, Hackett, did it.â
It had always been Trevon and Frank who removed obstacles for Hackett. Even if there was a bid that could not be taken down, it was the two of them who did this. It had never been Hackett.
Trevon inquired, âIs it possible for someone to transition from being a worker to a multimillionaire with just one brain? Do you consider yourself to be a singular brain, or do you believe he is a singular brain?â
Frank stated, âThat stick costs about 10 dollars. Now that heâs bankrupt, he still has to spend money to buy such a stick to take revenge on you. Itâs worth it.â
Hackett explained, âWait a minute. I wonât take the blame for going bankrupt. I specially stopped a few of his construction sites, but itâs not to the extent of bankruptcy. Those complaint letters of his were not my work. I suspect that he couldnât balance the secretaries and was stabbed by the person beside him. The blame is actually on me.â
In the past, Ruby experienced bullying during preschool. Hackett expressed the need to impart a lesson to the childâs father, stating that otherwise, everyone would be on alert. Trevonâs reminder might be seen as a gesture of gratitude. Itâs advisable not to pressure him, considering there were individuals of varying ages present.
At that time, Hackett even said that Trevon had started to be a saint. Trevon said that his wife had taught him well and that he should leave a way out for himself.
Meanwhile, Hackettâs intention was merely to teach a lesson. He disrupted the opponentâs two construction sites, incurring some losses. However, coincidentally, the next day someone reported detailed information about Davidâs other non-compliant and illicitly operated construction sites. Hackett Blackwell wasnât responsible for the report, and he didnât bother to investigate who did it.
In the end, he almost died today because of this.
Trevon said, âNo need to feel upset. Weâve taken care of the blame for you. Just keep a low profile. In the future, leave these matters to us.â This implies that they have handled the situation.
Hackett was about to say something touching when Trevon interrupted him. âChrysanthemums are quite expensive. You should live a few more years.â
Upon hearing this, Hackett was rendered speechless.
Seeing that Hackett was fine, the two of them did not intend to stay any longer. Trevon glanced at the door and said, âLetâs go.â
Then he stood up and put his hands in his pockets. He was extremely relaxed.
Frank followed closely, paying no mind to Hackettâs speechless expression. He walked to the door and spoke up, âIâve assigned four royal guards to you. Your Royal Highness, remember to provide them with meals.â
In response, Trevon laughed, a light chuckle escaping him. He said, âSure, enjoy having them. Itâs rare for the Chief of the East Factory to personally choose them for you.â
Hackett was speechless. At the same time, he felt the brotherhood. He grinned and shouted towards the door, âThank you.â
When Sherri arrived, she happened to be separated from Trevon and the others. One entered the elevator, and the other left.
When she walked into the ward, she found two stools placed by the bed. âHas anyone come?â
âYes, Trevon and Frank were here. They just left. Didnât you see them?â
âNo, I didnât see them when I came in. Why did they leave so quickly? Letâs chat for a while longer.â Sherri was puzzled. She had not been home for long.
Sherri suddenly thought of something. âBy the way, did anything happen on this floor after I left? Why are there so many men at the door?â
âFrank left it for me. He said they are the royal guards. Remember to get more food tomorrow.â He couldnât let Frankâs royal guards starve to death. Content of DraÐ¼Ä Õ¸ovels.com Sherri was surprised that Franks hired bodyguards to protect Hackett, but she found it nice that he took care of him.
It took a while to react. They were really close. âTrevon and Frank are quite decent guys. Actually, we also have bodyguards at our own home, but perhaps Frankâs ones are more capable.â
In the underground parking lot, before Frank got into the car, Trevonâs door drooped. The door was half open as he looked at Frankâs back and asked, âYou donât plan to go to Sapphire City?â
Frank closed the already opened door again and asked with a frown, âWhat do you mean?â
He left Frank, who had yet to get into the car, standing on the spot and thinking about Trevonâs words. This guy never cared if he went to Sapphire City or not. He was a little too strict today.
