Chapter 2044
As Mike stepped into Fuller Manor, he was met with a horrifying scene – Ableson laid in a pool of his own blood.
After a quick assessment of the situation, he called an ambulance for Ableson. However, knowing that Wayne was responsible for the state Ableson was in, for safety measures, he called for help from the Jared Group.
As the ambulance arrived, Ableson gradually lost consciousness. But before he did, he managed to urge Mike, “Don’t worry about me… Go… find President Silverman…”
By the time Mike rushed out, Wayne had already disappeared. Given the urgency of the situation, Mike couldn’t alert the public. He followed the trail of blood, but it soon disappeared. He then paid to check the CCTV footages of local businesses along the way, which led him towards the nearby park. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
However, as it was late, many of the businesses around the park had closed, leaving Mike without further leads.c2
Just as he was aimlessly searching, a car accident occurred on the other side of the park. A drunk pedestrian had reportedly stumbled onto the road and was hit by a speeding car.
Recalling Ableson’s words and Wayne’s disoriented state, Mike felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately rushed over, only to find it was a false alarm.
“When I didn’t know where to go, I saw a sign directing towards Central Park. That’s where you and President Silverman first met each other. I thought he might be there, so I quickly turned around and ran towards the park,” Mike explained.
Mike was across the street at the time. By the time he reached the park, he saw Rosalynn and a few others hastily entering the park.
A sense of foreboding hit him. He called for the ambulance he had kept on standby in the nearby parking lot and hurriedly followed them into the park. That’s where the subsequent events unfolded.
Upon hearing the details, Rosalynn nodded in understanding and asked, “And how’s Ableson now? Is he here too?”
“Um, not so good,” Mike admitted, deciding not to hide anything from Rosalynn He’s still in critical condition. Felix is with him right now.”
A sharp pain shot through Rosalynn’s forehead. “Tell the doctors, no matter the cost, they have to save him.”
“I know!” Mike quickly agreed. “Ms. Gabriella, why don’t you take a rest? You look worn out. I’ll call you as soon as President Silverman wakes up.” Feeling dizzy, Rosalynn drank a bottle of glucose and took a short rest in the visitor’s room across from Wayne’s. However, sleep was elusive. Each time she closed her eyes, she was haunted by the image of a familiar yet terrifying face underwater, and Wayne slowly sinking into the dark depths.
Her heart ached with pain, Suddenly, she remembered Wayne’s words-if he ever treated her badly, it wouldn’t be him. It would be the ‘bad’ Wayne taking control.
Startled, she woke up.
“Ms. Gabriella, President Silverman is awake!” There was a knock on the door.
Rosalynn immediately threw off the blanket, adjusted her hoodie to cover her bruises, and headed for Wayne’s room, but Mike stopped her.
“What’s wrong?” Rosalynn asked, confused.
Mike motioned for Rosalynn to look at the room’s surveillance footage.
Frowning, she took the iPad from him. Wayne was sitting up in bed, talking to someone at the foot of his bed.
Her blood ran cold.
“Ms. Gabriella, maybe… Mike began.
“It’s fine,” Rosalynn handed the iPad back to Mike and, ignoring his shocked expression, pushed open the door to Wayne’s room.
Wayne immediately looked up at her.
