Not A Small-Town Girl
Chapter 96
"Ding, ding, ding." At Mithland Hospital, Danielle saw that the caller was Denny and quickly answered it.
Dennyâs tone was filled with unconcealable disbelief as he said, "Miss Darling, the people we sent to tail after Hugh have been spotted. If Aiden and I hadnât shown up in time, they would have been dealt with by Hugh.
"I always thought Hugh was a mild-mannered scholar. Unexpectedly, heâs so skilled. He didnât give himself away at the border at all, hiding his skills quite well."
Danielle softened her tone and asked softly, "How are they?"
"Theyâve been sent to the hospital. The injuries arenât too serious, just some knife wounds. Theyâll recover after resting for a while. Aiden and I have been exposed. Hugh now knows itâs you who sent people to tail after him. Iâm afraid itâll be difficult for us to find the lab."
Denny felt a bit of self-reproach. A few days ago, he had assured Danielle that he wouldnât be spotted, yet they had been caught red-handed in no time.
Within a day, the two groups of people Danielle sent out were injured. After pondering for a while, she slowly said, "Stop tailing after him. Come back once you all have recovered from your injuries. But you guys have to be careful.
"Heâs already on his guard, so he wonât be going to the lab in the near future. Take good care of your injuries for now."
"Got it, Miss Darling," Denny said.
"Mm."
After hanging up, Danielle took out her phone and sent a message.
[Check Hughâs information and send it to me.]
The recipient replied: [Okay.] Taylor was a little worried when he heard that someone was injured, so he asked, "Miss Darling, what happened?"
"The people I sent to find Hugh were spotted and got injured," Danielle said slowly as she sent a message on her phone.
"Miss Darling, everythingâs fine here. You donât have to stay here with me. Go back and rest."
"Okay, Iâve arranged for a caregiver to look after you."
Then, Danielle and David turned around and walked out of the ward.
Inside the Maybach, Danielle noticed that the car was not heading toward the manor, so she asked, "Where are we going?"
"Iâll take you somewhere nice," David said dotingly.
"Youâve learned to keep people in suspense."
