Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 366 More Likable Than Hunter
Luke thought that something happened to a resident of the apartment.
Unexpectedly, he saw Sydney.
He forgot to ask Davey who he was and why he was calling Sydney "Aunty".
He hurriedly went forward to check Sydney's condition and found that it was serious.
Her wrist was cut and dripping in blood, but the most serious injury was her head. There was a large, swollen lump on the back of her head.
Luke knew that he could not delay it, so he directly picked Sydney up. "Kiddo, I'm taking my darling to the hospital. Come with me!"
He still had many questions to ask the child.
"Mm-hm!" Davey nodded.
Luke carried Sydney and ran out of the staircase as fast as he could.
Davey also followed behind on his short legs.
In the car, Luke used his voice to set the GPS navigation to the nearest hospital and drove her there.
Ten minutes later, she entered the emergency room.
Luke and Davey sighed in relief and sat in the chairs to the side, anxiously waiting.
Then, Luke looked at Davey. "Hey, kiddo. Where are you from? What's your parents' number? I'll call them so they don't worry." "My parents are in the army. My uncle gave me to my aunty to take care of me," Davey replied.
Luke found the word "aunty" rather unpleasant.
He frowned and asked, "Why are you calling my darling your aunty? Who's your uncle? He's shameless!"
Could it be Julien?
However, he had not heard of a kid in the Flint family.
When Davey heard Luke call his uncle shameless, he could not help but pout. "It's Hunter!"
Luke first froze for a moment, then his voice raised in anger. "What? It's that jerk, Hunter?" "Wow, that jerk dumped his nephew to
Sydney and told the kid to call her Aunty.
'Hah. His trick is obvious. Does he think that no one will notice it?
'He's completely shameless!'
"Hurry up and call your uncle to pick you up." Luke huffed. "Ugh. Why isn't he taking care of his own family? How could he make my darling take care of you?"
Davey swung his little legs and said regrettably, "Sorry, Mister, but my uncle is on a business trip and isn't in Port City."
"What?" Luke frowned. "He ran away?"
"No, he went on a business trip!" Davey corrected him.
Luke waved his hand. "It doesn't matter what he went there for. In my opinion, he ran away. I'll settle the accounts with him when he comes back. As for you..." Luke stared at Davey for a few seconds and finally sighed in defeat. "Forget it. What can I do about a little kid like you? All right, tell me how my darling got hurt."
His expression became serious.
Davey was also like a small adult. He answered with a solemn expression, "I don't know. Aunty said she was going out to buy ketchup, but she didn't come back after a long time, so I went downstairs to replace her. When I called her, I heard her phone ringing on the staircase, so I went over and looked. Aunty was already like that when I arrived."
Luke's fists clenched upon hearing this." Seems like I have to go check the monitoring of Shallow Bay."
Sydney's head was hit, and her wrist was cut. It was clear that someone deliberately hurt her.
However, it could not be said to be murder.
If it was murder, then the person would not just cut Sydney's wrist. Luke saw the injury. The wound was round and only took up a small area around the size of a peanut. It was not too deep either.
If the person wanted to kill her, they would have slit a straight line and cut deeply to sever the artery. Thus, the person who hurt Sydney must not want to kill her.
Otherwise, they would have just sliced the artery.
The same went for the head injury. There was only one blow dealt to the head. If the person really wanted to kill Sydney, they would not just cut her wrist but also hit the head multiple times. That way, the probability of killing her was higher. However, the person did not do so.
On top of that, Sydney's clothes were neat, so she did not appear to have been violated. In that case, what purpose did the person who injured Sydney have?
However, no matter what purpose it was, he would replace out, uncover that person, and pay them back for this.
Luke called a nurse and asked her to take care of Davey.
After all, he had to return to Shallow Bay. He was not at ease leaving Davey behind, but it would be troublesome to bring Davey along too, so he simply told someone to watch over the boy.
"Kid, you stay here. I'm going to investigate this matter. Call me right away when my darling comes out." Luke wrote down his number for Davey while glancing at his smartwatch.
Davey took the number and nodded heavily. "I know. Go ahead, Mister. You have to catch the bad guy."
Luke laughed and could not help but ruffle Davey's head. "Well, with what you said, you're definitely more likable than Hunter. I'll go now."
After saying that, he withdrew his hand and left the hospital.
As soon as he left the hospital, Finn saw him and could not help but narrow his eyes.
'Luke?
'What is he doing here?
I also think I saw blood on his body. Did something happen?'
As he thought, a middle-aged man in a white coat came up to him. The man said in a very polite tone, "Professor James, welcome to our hospital. I'll leave this surgery to you."
"It's fine. Just deliver the medical equipment to my hospital in time," Finn pushed up his glasses and said indifferently.
The middle-aged doctor responded, "Don't worry, I'll have them sent over tomorrow. The operating room has been prepped. Can you go over there now?"
"Yes, but there's one more thing." Finn looked at him.
The middle-aged doctor nodded. "What is it?"
"Find out what that man who just left came to your hospital for." Finn pointed in the direction Luke left.
Luke looked rather healthy, so that blood was not his own.
Furthermore, if Luke personally brought a person here, it must be someone that he cared about.
It was either a family member, or...
When Finn thought of Luke's concern for Sydney, his eyes darkened.
Hopefully, it was not Sydney.
"Don't worry, Professor James. I'll get someone to check," the middle-aged doctor said.
Finn hummed. "All right. Let's start the surgery."
The two of them walked in the other direction.
On the other side, at the Madden residence.
Clarice hurriedly ran in from outside, picked up a cup of water on the coffee table, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp. It was as if she had not drank water all her life.
Mrs. Madden was dumbfounded. "What's wrong, Clarice? Why are you so thirsty?"
Clarice exhaled, put down the cup, and smiled in embarrassment. "Sorry, Mom. I must look silly."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Do you want some more?" Mrs. Madden asked.
Clarice shook her head. "No, I'm fine now."
She sat down on the opposite side.
Mrs. Madden looked at her. "By the way, where did you go this afternoon, Clarice? You didn't bring your driver, and you didn't answer your phone either. I wanted to call you back for dinner but couldn't replace you." "I went out shopping with my friends. My phone ran out of battery halfway," Clarice lowered her eyes and said.
Mrs. Madden nodded in realization. "I see. Have you eaten?"
"I have. Mom, I'm a little tired now. I'll go back to my room to take a shower and rest. " Clarice stood up and walked toward the stairs.
Mrs. Madden looked at Clarice's back and felt that Clarice seemed a bit flustered and disturbed.
However, she did not think much about it and continued to watch TV.
