Will raised both hands to indicate he had no ill intent, his gaze falling on the face of the "nurse" in front of him.
The person was dressed in a nurse’s uniform, with golden hair tied up and a nurse’s cap on her head, and a large mask nearly covering half of her face, revealing only a smooth forehead and a pair of beautiful eyes and brows.
As their eyes met those clear blue pupils, Will’s eyes narrowed slightly.
By then, Jessica had also recognized his face, and beneath her mask, her lips curled upward.
"Stay put and don’t move." Jessica reached out to grab Will’s collar, pulled him up from the ground, and pressed him against the wall, letting out a cold laugh from behind her mask, "What a coincidence, Colonel!"
The damned fool, he had unexpectedly delivered himself right to her.
Will frowned, "Did you kill that driver?"
Her appearance here was undoubtedly related to that driver, and it seemed she had come to silence him.
"Driver? What driver!" Jessica pretended to be oblivious.
The driver, though not dead, was seriously injured with a broken neck and severe nerve damage; the doctors had already deemed him to be in a vegetative state, practically equivalent to being dead.
However, just to be safe, Jessica had decided to eliminate this potential problem to avoid future trouble.
Using her nurse’s identity as a cover, she had successfully completed her mission and had planned to escape via the fire escape, never expecting to run into Will on her way out.
This guy sneaking around here had likely come for the driver as well. Could it be that Duke’s murder had been exposed?
"What are you doing here?"
She turned the question on him, her blue eyes narrowing slightly.
No sooner had Jessica’s words fallen than the sound of frantic footsteps and urgent voices filled the corridor.
"Hurry, she can’t be far!"
"Seal all the exits!"
Without guessing, it was clear that the guards had discovered the driver’s death, knew someone had infiltrated the hospital, and were searching for the murderous Jessica.
Will’s lips tilted into a cold smile, "You better worry about yourself first!"
There was no sign of panic on Jessica’s face; instead, her large eyes curved upwards.
"With you here, what’s there to be afraid of?" Her hand shifted from his shoulder to a hug, and she drew a gun from her body and pressed it against his back, while her other arm affectionately wrapped around his neck, her voice fierce, "Move it!"
If the pursuers discovered them, this damn girl might really drag him down with her, causing trouble for both Duke and Miss Gan.
Thinking of the bigger picture, Will didn’t challenge Jessica any further and obediently went downstairs with her.
All the way down, he took the initiative to remind her.
"The front door is definitely sealed; we’ll take the back door."
"No need for your reminder."
Jessica pushed him downstairs, and when they reached the exit on the first floor, she lifted her hand to point the gun at him, her other hand reaching up to pull off her nurse’s cap and mask, and then started to unbutton her nurse’s uniform.
Will took the opportunity to tease.
Jessica threw the clothing into his arms, "Get rid of it!"
Will turned around and stuffed her clothing into a trash can. She then clung to his arm with one hand while reaching for his suit pocket with the gun in her other hand.
"Help me get out, and if you dare play tricks," she pressed the gun against his privates, her brows arching sharply, "I’ll make sure you’ll never be able to play with women again in your life!"
Will gave her an eye roll, "What, got hooked after sleeping with me once?"
