Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 168: A Close Call 

Charles' POV: 

As I stood by the window that evening, lost in thought, I felt my heart still trembling with fear.

All of a sudden, I heard the doorbell ring, so I walked to the door.

"Is Scarlett okay?"

Spencer walked in, looking rather anxious.

And David and Vivian followed him inside.

"She was scared, but now she's asleep."

Upon hearing that, David asked with a frown, "Was it an accident or a conspiracy?"

"It was certainly not an accident," I answered affirmatively.

The next second, the doorbell rang again, and Richard walked in.

"Mr.Moore, we have already checked the cellphones of those troublemakers, and we have found that the person who contacted them is from this city, but we don't know their identity yet."

I fell silent when I heard that while David questioned in an anxious tone, "Who do you think it might be?"

"At first, we thought that it might be Rita, but we had to rule her out because she is abroad now..." I massaged my temples, feeling exhausted.

"Take those troublemakers to the police station."

Upon hearing my orders, Richard nodded and left.

I felt a little annoyed, looking at David, Spencer, and Vivian, who were sitting on my couch, so I asked them to leave.

"You three should leave too."

Spencer straightened up his clothes, but it seemed like he was unwilling to leave.

"We came here to see Scarlett.Isn't it rude of you to drive us away before we even say hi to her?"

I looked at him coldly and said in a low voice, "If you came to visit the patient, then why did you come empty-handed?"

Embarrassed, Spencer gave me an awkward smile and justified, "Well...I was too anxious to see her...Anyway, I'll buy her a gift later."
