Chapter 139
“No need!” Dylan rejected coldly. The small injury on his back was nothing to him, and he did not need anesthesia.
“If you don’t get anesthesia, I’m afraid you won’t be able to endure it!” The doctor frowned and suggested.
Audrey glanced at the large wound and said indifferently, “I’ll handle it!”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Hearing Audrey’s words, Dylan’s eyes brightened, and a hint of pleasure appeared on his face.
Several medical staff were shocked when they heard Audrey’s words.
“Miss, the hospital is not a place for jokes, especially the operating theater. A slight mistake could cost a life!” One of the doctors looked at Audrey coldly.
“I’m a surgeon. My credentials are on this. Don’t worry, it’s all legal!” Audrey showed the doctor her credentials on her phone.
The doctor looked at her up and down and finally sighed in relief with a smile. “So you’re from the same industry. Sorry, I’ll leave a nurse to assist you!”
“Okay,” Audrey replied lightly.
After the medical staff left, Audrey looked at Dylan lying on the bed.
“Let go!” she commanded.
This time, Dylan obediently released his grip and allowed Audrey to tend to the wounds on his back.
Without anesthesia, the piercing pain made Dylan frown deeply.
Despite previously groaning about the pain in front of Audrey, Dylan remained silent throughout the treatment, not wanting Audrey to feel guilty or worried.
Even though Audrey was not concerned about him.
After a long night traveling from Northville to Norville and enduring a life–and–death battle, Audrey spent several more hours treating ‘Dylan’s wounds.
By the time she finished bandaging, her face was noticeably pale.
Dylan said with some heartache, “There’s no suite in this hospital, but I’ve already gotten someone to get a new ward. Go and sleep first. We’ll go back to Northville tomorrow!”
Audrey was indeed a little tired. She nodded and did not say anything else.
She asked Dylan’s subordinates to take her to the ward to rest.
The ward was a single VIP room. Once Audrey entered, she turned on her phone.
After being turned off all night, the phone buzzed with a series of notifications as soon as it was powered on.
Audrey glanced at the messages and missed calls, replying to a few important ones.
Due to the Wellington fashion show at the art center yesterday afternoon, Audrey had once again made headlines.
Many people had sent messages inquiring about her situation.
By this morning, the entire network was almost paralyzed.
After major design competition organizers and judges spoke out, Megan’s reputation plummeted, making her almost a pariah.
Even Megan’s largest supporter, the Clifford family, had publicly severed ties with her.
After replying to a few important messages, Audrey looked into what happened last night and found it had been dealt with thoroughly.
Audrey could surmise that Dylan was behind this. No one else could have managed it.
However, thinking about the people who appeared last night and Rebecca’s corpse, her expression grew serious.
Audrey had been monitoring in secret ever since Rebecca went missing. However, she had never discovered her. She hadn’t expected Rebecca to be in Norville and suddenly die in an abandoned warehouse.
Due to the darkness and her focus on dealing with the assassins, Audrey did not carefully investigate the cause of Rebecca’s death. However, Rebecca must have died not long before Audrey arrived.
Pursing her lips, Audrey thought of something and left the hospital ward.
As soon as Audrey left the hospital, someone notified Dylan, and her phone began to ring.
“What’s the matter?” Audrey asked in a deep voice after answering the call.
“If you’re going to the factory, you don’t have to go!” Dylan’s voice was still a bit hoarse.
Audrey frowned slightly upon hearing Dylan’s words. Dylan then added solemnly, “My men have just returned from there.”
“I’ll go up!” Audrey said, hanging up the phone and heading directly to Dylan’s ward.
The wards were not far apart. When Audrey entered Dylan’s room, she saw that he had already been helped to sit up by his subordinates.
She frowned slightly before walking over. “Why don’t you rest for a while? Aren’t you tired?”
Dylan’s expression softened as soon as he saw Audrey. His affectionate black eyes locked onto her as he spoke softly, “What about Rebecca’s body?”
Audrey looked at Dylan and asked coldly, “Rebecca’s body?”
Dylan glanced at Richard, who then respectfully addressed Audrey, “Miss Hernandez, I sent people to investigate. Most of the factory was indeed blown up, but I searched everywhere, and Rebecca’s body is missing!”
Audrey frowned slightly. “What do you mean by missing?”
“I’ve searched the scene and ruled out the possibility that Rebecca’s body was destroyed in the explosion,” Richard quickly added.
“What about the surroundings?” Audrey asked.
“I had people check the surroundings immediately. There are no traces of Rebecca’s body!” Richard responded.
Audrey’s expression darkened.
With the sudden phone call, the body of Rebecca was found in an abandoned factory. There were also killers and bombs. Now, Rebecca’s body had suddenly disappeared.
Everything seemed to be connected as if someone had been watching her every move from the shadows.
At the abandoned factory, aside from the assassins dealt with by Audrey and Dylan, it was impossible for anyone else to be present. However, the disappearance of Rebecca’s body was certainly not a coincidence.
“Don’t think about it for now. I’ve arranged for some food to be brought. Eat a little and rest before thinking further!” Dylan said, slightly moving and wincing from the pain.
His gaze towards Audrey remained affectionate and gentle.
At that moment, a noise came from outside the ward.
A subordinate entered, looking anxious, followed by several others.
Audrey’s gaze paused slightly as she frowned at those people.
Before she could speak, they addressed her, “Miss Hernandez, we found a corpse at the foot of a mountain in the northern suburbs. After identification, we confirmed it was Rebecca. Since you entered Norville’s territory yesterday evening and were seen in the northern suburbs, we may need you to come with us for an investigation.”
These people knew Dylan and Audrey’s identities beforehand and were still polite.
However, Dylan’s expression turned cold.
He grasped Audrey’s hand, his deep eyes staring at those people with a frosty gaze.
