One Night Surprise

Chapter 330 I Don’t Bite

“Tessa! Tessa! Stay with me! Don’t sleep!”

Oliver continuously called out Tessa’s name throughout their entire journey to the hospital. By the time he finally arrived on foot, it was close to dawn.

“Doctor! She was stabbed on the left side of her chest about twenty minutes ago.”

After Oliver accurately described the size of Tessa’s wound, the type of weapon used, and her condition, the emergency room physician hastily rushed Tessa into the operating theater. Meanwhile, Oliver sat frozen like a statue in front of the theater for the entire two hours of surgery in which he did not move from his spot at all.

At nine o’clock in the morning, Courtney finally arrived at the hospital.

She overheard from the conversation between Harry and Scott earlier in the morning that James was taken into police custody. Furthermore, she had also heard about it on the morning news and realized something terrible happened at the storage center.

Meanwhile, Alexander had gone to Sunhill Enterprise early in the morning. She called him, only to discover that it was a plan secretly concocted by him and Oliver. Instantly, she fumed and unleashed a tirade at him over the phone.

“Oliver can be forgiven because he’s still young, but how could you have gone along with his nonsensical decision?! How could you not inform the authorities on such a major issue but instead allowed him to take matters into his own hands? What would you do if there were major consequences because of this?”

Meanwhile, Alexander remained silent and allowed her to vent her anger. Then, he replied, “I’ll head to the hospital once everything is settled at the company. Could you go over and take a look first? Oliver’s unharmed but the team leader in his group has suffered some injuries.”

As soon as Courtney arrived at the hospital and heard that Tessa was only stabbed because she wanted to shield Oliver from harm, Courtney’s anger simmered. “Can’t the two of you use your brains before taking any action?! This is such a major issue! Tessa’s only nineteen years old! What if things end up badly?! If something goes wrong, how are you going to explain this to her parents?!”

He stood at the entrance to the ward and while she raged at him, he hung his head low and listened to the lecture without a single rebuttal.

“Are you imitating Alexander?!” Then, she pinched him on the arm. “Men are all the same! All you do is keep silent and act dumb when you’ve made a mistake!”

As soon as she said that, Courtney slapped him with her bag. “Why are you still standing here?! Go and get some food! Buy something that’s suitable for a patient.”
