Chapter 276 Hearing that, I fell silent.

It wasn't until the car sped off into the night that I turned to look at Gregory again.

"How did you find this place?" I asked.

He unlocked his phone and tossed it my way, "Your husband sentthe address." I glanced at the screen, a message from an unknown number.

It might not even be Bryant. Or rather, I couldn't bring myself to believe it was Bryant.

Gregory seemed to catch onto my hesitation. With a casual grip on the steering wheel, he began to theorize, "With everything that's gone down today, the Myerses must've offered Jarrod something sweet to get on board. Dorothy kidnapping you was definitely a move. against Bryant; thus, nobody else would know this address." "Jarrod's guys, who've got no beef nor bond withand certainly don't know I'm connected to you, wouldn't be the ones to getto rescue you." "So, the text could only have cfrom Bryant." This was the first the had taken such a patient and elaboratech with me.

I clenched my fist, "Got it, thanks." It was the usual pretense.

Sending messages to Gregory on one hand and turning guns onwith the other.

At a stoplight, Gregory glanced over, "Go to hospital?" I shook my head, "Just home." I was exhausted and didn't want another hospital trip. These wounds looked worse than they actually were. A hospital visit would probably just mean sdisinfection and ointment, all of which I had at home.

Remembering he had askedto pick someone up, I ventured, "I didn't pick up your girlfriend, hope I didn't cause any trouble?" "Girlfriend?" His frown was severe as he shota sideways glance, "Your imagination's wasted not writing." I was confused. He then said in a calm tone, "She's fine, very easy-going." That put my mind at ease, but it didn't stop my questions.

After what had happened, I felt like I had walked through the gates of hell and back, leavingsomewhat out of sorts in the ensuing calm.

Arriving at River Villa, Gregory carriedout of the car and into the elevator lobby, tilting his chin, "What are you waiting for? Hit the button." I snapped back to reality, "Right." Stepping out of the elevator, we were greeted by a familiar figure, "What happened to you?" Mark's face darkened at the sight of my injuries, reaching out to takefrom Gregory.

Gregory held firm, skillfully deferring, “We're practically at the door. I'll bring her in." "Alright." Mark, mindful of my injuries, didn't press further and reached to open the door, surprised to find his fingerprint still worked.

He looked atin surprise, and I smiled, "Landlords usually keep a key, right? As a tenant, it wouldn't make sense forto delete your access.

Once inside, Gregory placedon the couch.

I looked up at him, "Thanks for today." Though it was Dorothy who stirred up trouble, it ultimately had nothing to do with him.

He really didn't have to involve himself.

He said casually, "You owetwo meals now." I'll treat you once I'm better," I was resigned.

He didn't stick around; instead, he turned to Mark and playfully raised Wolayfully raised an eyebrow, "You wouldn't take advantage of people in vulnerable positions, would you?" Mark's smile was light, "If you didn't, why would I?" "I'll leave her in your care then. I'm not cut out for the delicate work of treating wounds." With a yawn, Gregory lazily made his exit.

Mark brought over a first aid kit, his gaze softening with concern as he looked at my injuries, "What exactly happene "It's nothing."

I hesitated, not daring to tell him everything, just smiling, "See, I made all it back fine, really..

do You don't need to anything more for me. I know things are complicated with your family; you need to look after yourself first." I still vividly remembered the last the took a beating on my behalf.

I couldn't bear to see him in trouble again because of me.

Seeing the shadow in his eyes, I changed the subject, "Did you cover for something specific today?"

"I heard you were looking for an office space, and we have savailable mightoperty, thought yaum might want to check it out," Mark explained gently. "But when I couldn't reach you by phone, I got worried and cover." I thanked him before letting him know, "No worries, Christine and I already found a place."
