Chapter 259 A Lazy Kitten
Mia was angry, so she forgot about herself. Usually, she didn’t dare to shout at Joshua.
“Let go of me! Even if she didn’t push Bryant, it must be her who told the others to do so! She locked up my brother and abused him. Doesn’t she deserve a slap?”
As Mia said, Anaya should take the blame for this incident.
However…
Joshua couldn’t allow others to hurt Anaya.
Joshua had said that he would do nothing if Anaya was in trouble, but those were just angry words.
“She did so because your brother had made a blunder. Silvia suffered a lot during the illegal imprisonment planned by your brother. Therefore, Anaya had a reason to do so.”
Mia said angrily, “Joshua, are you speaking up for Anaya? You are supposed to be my brother’s best friend. My brother is in
the emergency room now, but you voice your support for this woman!”
“I said so for your sake!” Joshua pulled a long face. “Your brother is still in the operating room. Do you want to go to the police station before he comes out?”
Mia gritted her teeth. In the end, she withdrew and glared at Anaya. “Just wait! If something bad happens to my brother, I won’t let you off!”
Mia went to Alfred with fury and cursed in a low voice.
After Mia left, Joshua shifted his gaze to Anaya. “Are you alright?”
Anaya said indifferently, “Without you, Mia would be in
trouble now.”
Joshua frowned. “You hurt Bryant. Do you also want to hurt his
sister?”
“Let me make myself clear. I am part of the reason for Mr. Tirrell’s injury. However, I won’t retreat if Ms. Tirrell wants a fight.”
Anaya seldom showed the white feather.
Moreover, she didn’t feel sorry for Bryant even if he was badly wounded now.
Silvia decided to stay away from Bryant though he had ruined her family. However, Bryant didn’t let go of Silvia and tried to hurt her again.
Therefore, Bryant had only himself to blame for his suffering.
What Anava had said angered Joshua. When Joshua intended to
refute, the door of the operating room was pushed open.
Bryant was pushed out of the operating room. The people waiting there instantly surrounded the patient.
Alfred asked anxiously, “Doctor, how is my son?”
The doctor said, “The patient didn’t badly hurt his head because his legs landed on the ground first. We saved his life, but his legs…”
The doctor paused, and Alfred immediately urged, “What will become of his legs? Tell me now!”
The doctor sighed heavily and then continued, “Sorry that we can do nothing about his legs.
“It is possible that he can’t stand up.”
Hearing this, Alfred shook violently as if he would fall at any
second.
Mia quickly held her father and looked at the doctor. “Can’t you do something about his legs?”
The doctor shook his head. “Even the best doctors in this
country can do nothing.
“The patient is awake now. You can push him back to the
ward.”
Alfred nodded and told his men to push Bryant back to the
ward.
Bryant, who was still in anesthesia, suddenly raised one hand, pointed to Silvia, and murmured something with excitement when he was pushed past both Anaya and Silvia.
Nobody could hear what Bryant had said because of the effect
of the anesthesia.
Bryant was red and swollen, so he looked a bit scary.
Bryant’s excitement brought the memories of what had
happened in the basement back to Silvia. Scared, Silvia took a step back.
Alfred felt both disappointed and indignant because Bryant,
who was in a terrible state, still cared about Silvia. Alfred blocked Bryant’s sight, told his men to speed up, and quickly Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
pushed Bryant away.
Anaya now knew how badly Bryant was wounded. She immediately contacted her lawyer for advice.
The Tirrell family hadn’t filed a lawsuit yet, but Anaya and Silvia began their preparation.
Anaya and Silvia paid a visit to Kael and his wife for
countermeasures after leaving the law firm. The two girls didn’t leave till it was late at night
Then, Anaya went home and took a warm bath.
It was a long day for Anaya, so she fell asleep in the bath.
When Anaya woke up, someone was carrying her to the
bedroom.
Anaya looked up, saw Hearst, and became stunned. “How did you get in?”
“I bought this building.”
Hearst had the spare key to the room Anaya had rented.
Anaya was a bit slow because she had just woken up. It took her several seconds to figure out what Hearst meant.
After a moment of silence, Anaya asked, “Did you carry me out
of the bathtub?”
“I helped you put on the pajamas.”
In other words, Hearst had seen Anaya naked.
Anaya didn’t feel so embarrassed as she had in the hotel where
she was naked before Hearst for the first time.
Anaya turned in Hearst’s arms and lowered her head. “Why didn’t you knock before coming in…”
“I did but there was no response.” Hearst walked into the
bedroom and then put Anaya back on the bed. “When I went into the bathroom, the water was cold. I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I carried you out of the bathtub.”
Hearst thought that Anaya would wake up after he carried her
out of the bathtub.
However, Anaya was still in a deep sleep after Hearst dressed her. Anaya let Hearst do whatever he wanted while lying in his
arms like a lazy kitten.
She must be exhausted today. Hearst thought.
Hearst sat on the bed. “Sorry that I couldn’t help you in time. I
was in another city today.”
Anaya moved on the bed, sat up, and leaned into Hearst’s arms
cozily.
“Don’t apologize. This matter has nothing to do with you.”
Anaya was sensible and wouldn’t ask Hearst to stay around and help her all the time.
Moreover, Hearst was absent today, but his men were there to
help Anaya.
That was enough for Anaya.
Hearst brought a hairdryer over, told Anaya to sit on the
cashmere carpet, and carefully dried her hair.
The mixture of the hot wind and the pleasant smell of shampoo was fragrant and warm.
Hearst asked, “I heard that Bryant broke his legs.”
“He did.” Anaya leaned on Hearst’s leg. “The doctor said he might not stand up again.”
When Hearst pulled up her hair, Anaya felt a slight chill on her warm neck because of his fingertips.
“Did Silvia push Bryant?”
“No, it’s Mr. Hampden.” Anaya was a little sleepy, so her eyes
were half-closed.
“What are you going to do next?”
“I am thinking. There were many onlookers that day. If the Tirrell family files a lawsuit, Mr. Hampden will go to jail for sure. Silvia and Mr. Hampden will have a negotiation with Bryant tomorrow afternoon. I plan to go with them.”
“Do you want me to be there?”
“No. I am afraid that you will kill Bryant right on the spot.”
Hearst had once said that he would kill Bryant for Anaya, so Anaya was afraid that Hearst would fulfill his promise when things got out of control tomorrow.
Hearst chuckled. “Do I look like a killer?”
Anaya said without hesitation, “Yes.”
Hearst put down the hairdryer and left the bed. He sat down on the ground, wrapped Anaya in his arms, and took a bite of her shoulder as punishment.
Anaya trembled and then heard Hearst whisper in her ear, “The killer wants some excitement now. Do you agree, Ms. Dutt?”
