Adrian Davies walked over to his desk, sat down with a cold and stern face, his voice icy cold: "Get out!"
Frightened into a cold sweat, Daniel Lee and the others hurriedly retreated.
In the spacious office, Adrian Davies was once again left alone.
Adrian picked up a document and flipped through it, but the words transformed into Melody Parker’s bright smile, the very smile that made him gnash his teeth with hatred, wanting to fiercely torment her.
Damn woman!
Adrian Davies gritted his teeth and slammed the document shut.
...
Countless times of slamming the document shut, Adrian Davies finally stabilized his mind temporarily and immersed himself in work.
Time passed second by second, and the sky outside gradually darkened.
The phone rang, Adrian Davies saw that it was Patrick Faris calling, and immediately answered coldly: "Speak!"
Patrick Faris shivered from the cold and quickly reported, "Director, Miss Parker seems to be sick."
"Seems?" Adrian’s voice was extremely cold, like it was infused with ice.
Patrick quickly corrected himself, "Miss Parker is sick. A man carried her out of the apartment, and that man took her directly to the hospital."
Man?
That mysterious man again? Precious?
Adrian was seething, he directly hung up the phone.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, two messages came on the phone, sent by Patrick.
Adrian forcibly suppressed his anger and opened them.
Patrick had sent a photo, one of Barrett Carter carrying Melody Parker out of the apartment, and another of Barrett Carter carrying Melody Parker anxiously into the hospital building.
Adrian could no longer suppress his anger, he slammed a fist heavily onto the table.
Men! This damn woman has let another man carry her!
And even more infuriating, this time it’s not that man from before, but another one!
Adrian’s face turned livid, his blood froze instantly.
This damn woman, how many such men does she have?
He had just warned her, and yet she blatantly allowed another man to carry her!
She’s sick?
How is she sick again?
This afternoon when she kicked him, punched him, wasn’t she just fine, how is she sick now?
Humph, being sick is good, it’ll teach her not to defy him!
This is the consequence of defying him!
But...
Knowing she was sick, why did his heart not feel joyous at all, but instead keep twisting painfully?
No way, the little wildcat is sick, and there’s such an unidentified man by her side!
He had to go see her, and meet that unknown wild man!
Adrian Davies stood up abruptly, strode into the elevator, straight to the underground parking lot.
Seeing Adrian come out, Ned immediately opened the car door.
Adrian got into the car, and coldly ordered, "To the hospital!"
"Yes!" Ned got in and stepped on the accelerator, driving towards the hospital.
Ten minutes later, the limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived at the hospital.
Adrian, dressed in a black handmade suit and chestnut red handmade leather shoes, stepped down from the car.
With a cold and stern face, he walked into the hospital with imposing momentum, effortlessly locating Melody Parker’s ward.
In the ward, apart from the woman with the IV drip, there was no one else; the wild man in the photo seemed to have left long ago.
Not seeing the wild man, Adrian’s expression slightly improved.
As luck would have it, when Adrian arrived, Barrett had just gone out with Precious to buy things.
Looking at the woman still in deep sleep, Adrian unconsciously lightened his footsteps.
He walked over gently, his dark eyes locking onto the woman’s small face on the bed.
Just watching the woman asleep on the bed, an unexpected pang of pain spread across Adrian’s heart.
Her flushed cheeks, due to the fever, had an unusual beauty, a beauty that evoked pity, a beauty that was suffocating.
Even more enticing than her face, were her lips.
Making him want to fiercely kiss those lips, swollen red from his biting.
To awaken this woman who repeatedly provoked him, who repeatedly let other men touch her.
Yet thinking of her being ill, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Reluctant to punish her, reluctant to wake her.
Adrian stretched out his long pianist fingers, gently touching Melody Parker’s forehead.
Her forehead was very hot, the scorching temperature transmitted through his hand, burning his heart.
He looked at her, his dark eyes filled with too many emotions.
There were tenderness, pity, and also blame, discontent.
"Little wildcat, this is the consequence of being disobedient and daring to defy me! Let’s see if you’ll still be obedient in the future, if you dare defy me again!"
His long index finger drifted to Melody Parker’s swollen lips, gently touching, rubbing, stroking the wounds he had bitten open, "Woman, don’t anger me again, hmm?"
Benjamin Parker and Barrett Carter returned after buying things, not yet stepping into the ward when they saw Adrian Davies inside.
Seeing the man standing by Melody’s bed, gazing at her with deep affection, Benjamin hurriedly pulled Barrett back, hiding in an inconspicuous spot.
Benjamin quietly stood in the corner, wordlessly, detached from the situation, silently watching everything happening in the ward.
Before long, Melody Parker’s IV drip finished, and the doctor entered to remove the needle.
Seeing the man inside, the doctor noticeably hesitated, blurting out: "Director Davies, why are you here?"
Adrian coldly glanced at the doctor but didn’t respond.
But those icy eyes of disdain seemed to say: Nonsense, why couldn’t I come!
The doctor awkwardly smiled, then spoke with a grin: "Director Davies, I’ll remove Miss Parker’s needle."
"Mm, go ahead." The man coldly replied, and once the doctor removed the needle from Melody Parker, he coldly asked, "How is her condition? Serious?"
The doctor stood upright, looked at Adrian Davies, and with a smile answered his question, "Not serious, Miss Parker just has exhaustion and anger-induced fever, once her overheated body temperature subsides, with good rest she’ll be fine."
"Mm, I understand." Adrian coldly said, suddenly looking at the doctor saying, "I’m taking her with me."
"..." The doctor was shocked inside out by Adrian’s words.
Miss Parker was admitted with family accompanying her.
If Director Davies took her away now, what would that be?
The doctor opened his mouth, just about to speak, when Adrian’s extremely indifferent gaze swept over coldly.
"This..." The doctor ultimately fell silent, swallowing the words ’This isn’t appropriate, the patient’s family isn’t here.’
"I’ll take responsibility for any issues!" Adrian whispered.
