Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 638 - 337: Metamorphosis (Second Update)
The person called Edward Foster, saying, "I found it, is it a contract?"
Edward went to ask Gabrielle Winters, and Gabrielle nodded, "Yes, that’s it, thank you."
"Auntie, no need to be polite. I’m good friends with Lawrence, and even if we weren’t, I couldn’t just stand by in such a situation. Don’t worry, I’ll testify for you after you call the police tomorrow." Edward had seen someone hit Gabrielle with his own eyes today.
However, Gabrielle shook her head and said, "Let’s talk about it when Nick wakes up."
Although she didn’t know much about what Nick did, she was aware that he was very averse to going to the police station.
Edward also did not want to overstep his bounds, so he nodded, "Alright, I’ll wait for Lawrence to come back, sort things out, and then leave."
Gabrielle was truly exhausted and had no strength to persuade him further.
She originally wanted to sit by Nick’s bedside, but before long, she fell asleep there.
Edward sat alone on the hospital room’s sofa, with the bodyguards he brought along scattered in the hallway outside.
The night quickly passed.
The next morning, his bodyguards bought him breakfast, as well as for Gabrielle and Nick.
Edward, having stayed up all night, was tired and weary, yet remained particularly energetic.
Holding the meat floss egg roll brought by the bodyguard, he ate it in a few bites and drank a cup of coffee before feeling alive again.
Gabrielle was still asleep, and Nick remained unconscious.
When Lawrence finally found his way over, he could hardly believe his eyes.
"...Uncle? Is this my uncle?" Although Lawrence was extremely shocked inside, his expression remained intensely calm.
So calm that Edward felt he no longer recognized her.
However, this cold and seemingly unattainable goddess-like Lawrence gave him a newfound dazzling beauty.
She used to always have a warm smile that softened the sharp, icy edges of her features.
Now, with a stern face and no smile, her beauty shone like the bright sunlight, illuminating the entire hospital room.
Edward was entranced, staring at her back for a long time without being able to speak.
Kenneth Osborne walked in afterward.
He had a brief conversation with Edward’s bodyguards in the corridor and learned about last night’s situation, feeling a deep gratitude towards Edward’s timely intervention.
He could hardly imagine what would have happened if Edward hadn’t arrived in time with reinforcements the previous night...
He approached Edward, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Mr. Foster, I owe you for this, and if ever The Foster Consortium needs anything, Kenneth Osborne and AI Vision Promise will fully support you."
Edward turned around, glaring at him, thinking, who the hell wants you to return the favor?!
Did I rescue people just for brownie points?!
Don’t try to flatter yourself!
Despite his inner irritation, he remained courteous on the surface, "No need for thanks, Mr. Osborne, it was what I should do."
Kenneth twitched his mouth, wondering how it became something he should do.
What does the Winters Family have to do with him?
Kenneth couldn’t help but subtly challenge him, "Mr. Foster, you’re too kind, this should be my responsibility."
"With Mr. Osborne not around, naturally I took the responsibility." Edward wasn’t about to concede even verbally.
Kenneth thought for a moment and decided to concede, "Thanks a lot then, Mr. Foster. I’ll go check on my uncle and mother-in-law."
As he passed by Edward, the mention of "uncle and mother-in-law" nearly made Edward’s whole body tremble with anger.
What does it mean to pierce the heart?
This is piercing the heart!
Kenneth ignored the "death stare" from Edward.
He approached Lawrence, who was asking Gabrielle questions.
"Mom, do you still remember what those people looked like?"
Gabrielle frowned and said, "I do remember, but I can’t draw, so I can’t show you. They threw away our phones."
"Mainly two people, one with the surname You, another with the surname Ouyang."
"One with the surname You? Another with the surname Ouyang? — Alright, I’ve noted it down," Lawrence said calmly, then asked about Nick’s condition, "Uncle has leg injuries, but what else is severe? When will he wake up?"
Gabrielle said, "We’ll get a thorough check-up on his head once the neurologist is on duty. I’m very worried..."
She thought for a moment and decided to reveal what the last person with the surname You did to Nick’s head.
Lawrence’s eye corner twitched uncontrollably.
Kenneth, standing beside her, glanced down and noticed her eyes slightly reddened, but the gleam in them became even more intense.
As she turned her head to meet his gaze, it was as if her face had a filter named "rage," making her eyebrows extremely dark, her face extremely pale, and her bright red lips like fire, turning her into a torch waiting to ignite.
This Lawrence seemed to have shed the youthful charm and brightness belonging to a girl overnight. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
She stood in front of him, words on the tip of her tongue, yet unsaid.
Kenneth understood her feelings; he felt terrible inside too.
He gently pulled her aside, watching the doctors and nurses push Nick to the specialist ward for a brain examination.
After waiting for a while, Lawrence remembered that Gabrielle mentioned Edward was the first to arrive at the hillside to save them.
She approached Edward and sincerely said, "Thank you, Mr. Foster."
Edward extended his hand, "Come, high five! Don’t be disheartened, everything will be okay!"
Lawrence smiled faintly, extended her hand, and gave Edward a high five in the air, then asked him, "Mr. Foster, did you see what those men looked like when you got there? Did you take any photos?"
Edward shook his head, "I didn’t take any photos."
Seeing Lawrence’s disappointed expression, Edward continued, "But I sent people to follow them, and they’ve already found where those three are staying."
Lawrence’s eyes, darker than those of most people, brightened immediately, "Really? Can you share it with me?"
"No problem." Edward sent the information he received to Lawrence, "They’re still keeping an eye on them over there, so don’t worry."
Lawrence checked the address and compared it on the map; it didn’t seem too far.
She lowered her head, looking at her phone, without making any move, but the whole persona exuded an unapproachable coldness.
At this moment, Nick was pushed back by the nurse, with a somewhat dazed Gabrielle following behind.
"Mom, how’s Uncle’s condition? When will he wake up?" Lawrence hurried forward to ask.
Gabrielle, upon seeing Lawrence, couldn’t help but start crying again, "Lawrence, the doctor said your uncle’s head injury is quite serious; he may never wake up..."
"What?! Uncle won’t... won’t die..." Lawrence refused to accept this result, taking out the Five Emperors Coins she always carried, casting and recasting them on the ground, repeatedly saying, "He won’t! I’ve calculated, Uncle’s fate isn’t like this, he still has time, he won’t die..."
She stubbornly repeated her divination, saying again and again, "Look, Uncle’s just facing a tribulation, like when I was little, once it’s over he’ll be okay."
Kenneth couldn’t bear to watch any longer and held her in his arms, comforting her, "No, Uncle won’t be in trouble, the doctor didn’t say he definitely wouldn’t wake up, just that there’s a possibility he may become a vegetable..."
Lawrence curled a corner of her lip, coldness dripping from her words, "...A vegetable? A vegetable is not acceptable either. My uncle won’t become a vegetable."
She broke away from Kenneth’s embrace and said, "Kenneth, I want to see the doctor. Can you help me contact a hospital near my home and transfer my uncle over?"
Kenneth immediately said, "Okay, I’ll call right away."
He searched through his phone for suitable contacts, dialing them one by one.
At this moment, Lawrence quietly left the hospital room.
Looking at the location of those people on her phone, she smiled slightly.
No one in this world could harm her family and get away with it unscathed.
