The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 460: Is He Seriously Injured?

Very quickly, the TV news reported that Conrad Sterling was injured.

He encountered an assassination attempt at his own company; the killer attacked from the rooftop of the building across with a sniper rifle, clearly having set up an ambush days ago.

Anna Thornton’s nanny car was parked at the entrance of Crestlight Hospital, but the place was crowded with journalists who had come to catch wind of the news.

She couldn’t find a gap to sneak in!

Anna had no choice but to call Ethan.

"Ethan, are you at the hospital?"

"Miss Anna, I’m with President Sterling in the operating room. Have you arrived?"

"Surgery? Is he badly hurt?"

"Well... Miss Anna, I’ll come out to get you, and you’ll know the details once you come in."

With Ethan opening up a special internal access, Anna, wearing a baseball cap, dodged the reporters and entered the hospital.

She headed straight for the operating room, feeling her heart pounding rapidly, almost to the point where she couldn’t catch her breath.

She happened to catch a doctor coming out of the operating room, and promptly asked about the situation: "Doctor, how is he now? Was the surgery successful?"

The doctor took off his mask and cautiously looked at Anna: "May I ask if you are Mr. Sterling’s family?"

"I am!"

"Then you can go in and take a look yourself."

"Can I go in now?"

Anna looked at the sign that said ’In Surgery’ which hadn’t disappeared yet; she came in a rush and hadn’t changed into sterile clothing, yet they were letting her in like this?

Her heart felt cold and strange; she had a bad premonition.

This scene reminded her of those typical TV dramas where ineffective resuscitation leads to family entering to see the patient one last time.

Anna subconsciously clenched her fist and hurried into the operating room.

The scene inside was completely different from what she had imagined.

There were no busy doctors and nurses rescuing; it was empty, with only Conrad Sterling inside.

Moreover, he wasn’t lying on the operating table but sitting there,

"Conrad, are you alright?" Anna asked him.

"Yeah."

Conrad pointed to the bulletproof vest beside him, showing her the two single holes on it.

Correspondingly, there were two slight bruises on Conrad’s chest.

After all, he was a man who had been injured in war-torn countries amidst gunfire and managed to recover with simple treatment and remarkable resilience.

Not to mention the two minor bruises caused by the bulletproof vest, which were nothing.

"But there’s all sorts of news outside, saying you were seriously hurt."

"If I don’t say that, how can I put the people behind this at ease?"

It seems Conrad had been well-prepared, deliberately releasing ambiguous information to let outsiders speculate and misjudge the severity of his injuries.

Those who are truly harboring guilt would certainly be unable to resist coming to probe the truth.

Anna understood: "So why did you keep it from me too? If you’re not really injured, couldn’t you have reassured me first?"

"I thought about it, but my phone broke." Conrad explained.

He took out his phone that was shot through by a bullet to show Anna; this was the third shot.

If it weren’t for the phone blocking it, the bullet would’ve hit Conrad’s head.

It was evident that the person who hired the assassin truly had set their mind on taking Conrad’s life.

"Oh dear, the phone ended up like this?" Anna clicked her tongue twice in pity, then instantaneously changed face, "Do you think I’d believe such a clumsy excuse? You don’t only have one phone, right? Even if so, couldn’t you have borrowed one from the bodyguard to call me for reassurance? Had I known there was nothing going on, I wouldn’t have come and wasted my time!"

"Conrad, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! You deliberately kept quiet and didn’t inform me because you wanted to see me anxious!"

Clearly, they were still in the trial period, yet this man dared to play tricks to test her feelings.

How defiant of him!

Anna wanted to make him furious, directly pressing Conrad onto the operating table and giving him a good beating.

If it were serious, Anna’s build wouldn’t be able to take on Conrad.

However, Conrad made no resistance at all, smoothly laying back while supporting Anna’s waist; he was secretly laughing!

How delighted was Conrad? Right now, he was like a child given candy, savoring the concerned look she had when entering the operating room just now, feeling utterly satisfied.

"Anna, so you do care about me?"

"Care my ass! I’ll beat you to death!"

He dared to ask that when she was still angry?

Anna raised her fist, ready for another bout of pounding.

Just then, Ethan came in from outside, so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

What did he see?

He actually saw Miss Anna engaged in domestic violence on President Sterling!

Although her little pink fists weren’t all that powerful, it was the first time Ethan saw President Sterling being pressed so hard that he couldn’t retaliate and hastily took a step back in horror.

"Sorry for interrupting!"

After Ethan exited, he kindly helped close the door for them.

He also began to worry that President Sterling might get angry enough to send him to Africa for witnessing this.

"Ethan, come in!"

Upon hearing President Sterling call him, Ethan’s heart trembled.

So, was it finally coming?

He hadn’t been back for long in total.

"President Sterling, you wanted to see me?"

Ethan returned inside, and Anna and Conrad were already sitting up. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Anna was still angry, turning her face away from Conrad.

The latter was unwilling to give up, reaching out to grab her slender wrist and gently holding it in his palm.

Ethan: "..." What exactly did he do wrong to have to eat dog food at the moment of impending exile?

"Have the reporters outside dispersed?" Conrad asked.

"No."

"Then spread the news that my injuries are serious and I’ll need some time for hospital observation!"

"Yes, President Sterling."

After Ethan exited, Anna asked Conrad: "You want to use this method to lure out the person behind hiring the assassin? If they know you’re gravely injured but not dead, will they make a second attempt?"

"Quite possibly!"

"Oh."

"Anna, if you’re willing to talk to me, you’re not mad anymore?"

"Dream on! This incident is marked against you, don’t forget you’re still on probation. If I’m unhappy, I’ll dock your points!"

"If I perform well, can I earn extra points?"

"When did you ever perform well? Angela Thornton’s case doesn’t count! Ultimately, it’s still because you attracted it; otherwise, why would she covet you for no reason? Ultimately, you just have to clean up your own mess."

Anna, a logic queen, could suppress Conrad tidily even with unreasonable words coming from her mouth.

Having just confirmed that she indeed cared for him was like eating a piece of candy, still leaving President Sterling with a sweet taste in his mouth.

He didn’t dare to object, fearing she’d continue to dock points.

Even if Anna at this moment let him sign an agreement of self-sacrifice, Conrad would have cheerfully agreed.

The joy turned into sadness when Anna reminded him: "Great! You pretend to be hurt, have to stay in the hospital, and I won’t have to see you this entire time with the kids."

Conrad: "..."
