Maybe he was truly in pain from the impact, he lay in bed and waited quietly for me.

| found the first aid kit and returned to the bedroom to tend to the wound on his forehead. Just as | was almost

done applying the ointment, the locksmith said at the top of his lungs that he was done changing the lock.

| got up to go out and walked the locksmith out. | then set the password. It was still Shannon's birthday.

When | returned to the bedroom, Theo lay in bed with his eyes closed, looking like he had fallen asleep.

I was relieved to see that the bruise on his forehead was not too obvious.

After switching off the lights and laying down on the bed, | had just closed my eyes when Theo rolled over and

embraced me.

| frowned and said, "Go to sleep."

Those were the words that only a child would say.

| rolled my eyes and ignored him.

| closed my eyes and planned to sleep, but my mind suddenly flashed back to the t| nearly died in the

hospital.

I had been wanting to ask Theo about it when we were at the resort, but it was never a good tto ask because

a lot of people were around. It also slipped from my mind when we cback.

| shifted my body and buried my head in Theo's arms. "Theo, did you find anything about the incident at the

hospital the last time?"

| suspected that Jordan had ordered someone to do it, but it was just a suspicion as | had no evidence.

In fact, | would feel slightly more at ease if it was Jordan. After all, we now knew that he was a scumbag who was

very much against us.

It would be awful if it was someone we did not know.

Theo huggedtight and rested his chin on top of my head. His chest rose and fell when he spoke, and | was

able to distinctly feel his heartbeat. "Jordan had something to do with it.

Dazaray and Milan were both involved too, but because the surveillance camera was broken, we aren't able to

get hold of evidence.

"Dazaray was also involved?"

| froze. "Are you serious?"

Theo nodded. "Jordan's men injected you with anesthesia, whereas Milan watched from the side. They weren't

planning to kill you but just hide you away temporarily. But when Jordan's men handed you over to Dazaray, she

wheeled you into the morgue and tried to kill you."

Theo felt a lingering fear every the was reminded of this incident. He kissed my forehead and said in a

hoarse voice, "That woman is far more terrifying than you think. Don't stay in touch with her anymore. My mind

was a little overwhelmed. It was hard forto believe that all this was true.

'How is a lady with no special background like Dazaray able to work for Jordan and Milan?"

Was Dazaray very capable? Not exactly.

"I'm not sure about that. After you passed out, Jordan's men took you into the elevator. Dazaray waited in the

parking lot for them. According to Jordan's plan, he wanted Dazaray to hide you somewhere for a few days so |

wouldn't have the spirit to handle the resort matters. But he didn't know that Dazaray tried to kill you as well as

how quickly | got there to rescue you."

When he said that, | immediately understood. | looked up and asked with a puzzled expression. "Did Dazaray

really takeaway today just to get you to let Jordan go?"

Theo nodded. "When you went missing, | knew someone was trying to use you to threatennot to sue Jordan."

"But haven't you already contacted a lawyer to sue him? Can you still withdraw the lawsuit now?"
