Trapped with a Doctor -
Chapter 352 Extra Story No.22 About Fabian Li
As soon as Jeffery finished sneering at Cathy, he carried over a glass of freshly made cocktail and served it to another customer. Cathy was shocked by his words.
'Get plastic surgery to make me look like Angela? Isn't Angela the wife of Director Gu? Why? Does he have a secret crush on Angela?'
Looking down at her bank card, Cathy laughed and thought that Purple Charm was really different from other men.
Compared to other men who usually looked at her salaciously, Purple Charm turned his nose up at Cathy even though he knew that she deliberately got close to him. How refreshing it was!
Cathy downed the glass of cocktail, and then went to the washroom to fix her makeup. Afterwards, she left the bar.
'Alas! Not only did I get nothing tonight, I also blew my cover when Purple Charm recognized me from last night.
When did I become so foolish?' Cathy thought to herself.
Looking at the scene of debauchery that followed on the streets, Cathy crouched down under a tree with a deep sense of alienation. As the sound of footsteps approached and then stopped behind her, Cathy heard, "Miss You, it's getting colder, please get on the car!"
The person who said that was her bodyguard Lynn. He had protected her for over ten years now, under her grandmother's arrangement.
"I'd like to stay alone for a while. Lynn, please wait for me in the car." Cathy responded to Lynn sulkily as she buried her face in her lap.
Lynn then took a step back. He neither got in the car nor did he say anything else.
After more than ten minutes, Lynn said in a hesitant voice, "Miss You, actually, you didn't have to do this in person. I can replace an experienced woman to get close to him."
Cathy sighed. She had only decided to take the initiative because she was very angry at Purple Charm.
Things were not all as simple as they thought it would be. Cathy got up slowly and said, "Well, the issue is now in the hands of..." You.
Before Cathy uttered the last word, she heard Lynn cry out suddenly, "Miss, Miss!"
Before she turned back to look, she had realized that Lynn was fighting off some people behind her.
She was always getting into this sort of trouble. But the difference was that, this time there were only Lyn and her up against a dozen people at a time.
Several people ganged up on Lynn while the others drew upon Cathy.
Cathy took off her high-heeled shoes without hesitation, and then used them to hit the two men in front of her. As soon as she threw the shoes straight to their faces, both of them screamed, buried their faces in their hands, and crouched on the ground in fear.
Having been raised in this kind of environment where she was likely to be kidnapped or attacked almost everyday, Cathy had picked up some basic fighting skills.
She tried to replace an opportunity to escape as she was fighting them off.
However, since they came in looking for trouble, they did not give her any chance to break away and quickly revealed their daggers.
Cathy was panic-stricken, and shouted, "Help! Help!"
For a brief moment, Cathy vaguely caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. She screamed out to the figure while fending off a man, "Jeffery, help!"
Hearing someone's cry for help in the distance, Jeffery turned to look for where the voice was coming from.
When Jeffery realized that it was Cathy calling him, he was somewhat hesitant to help her. He regarded women as the most troublesome creatures, and thus had often taken a sort of hands-off approach when they were in trouble. Of course, Angela was always an exception to him.
The next moment after he hesitated, he heard the woman scream, "Ouch..."
Cathy suffered a painful and burning sensation which almost stifled her.
Her arm was scathed by a dagger.
"Miss!" Lynn was completely unable to help Cathy as he himself was dealing with several other men. After he managed to strike down four men, there were still two left for him to battle with.
As he watched a man approach Cathy intending to stab her through the neck, Lynn felt flustered and distracted. Suddenly, he was kicked to the ground by a man.
At that very urgent moment, a figure rushed to kick away the dagger directed at Cathy's neck.
He picked up the injured Cathy and stood in front of her to protect her, and then quickly defeated the two opponents in front of him.
Although this wasn't the first time Cathy was saved by another man from a similar kind of situation, this was definitely the first time for her to be saved by a man who was equally good-looking and charismatic.
Soon enough, a bunch of people rushed out of the bar. They came to offer help as Jeffery had requested earlier at the entrance.
Despite his hesitation to personally save Cathy in the beginning, he couldn't just sit around and watch her die. Thus, he called his friends from the bar to help her.
However, as soon as he saw Cathy get hurt, he rushed by himself to protect her without wasting a single moment.
Under Jeffery's protection, Cathy was prepared to get on her car. All of a sudden, she saw a flashing instrument out of the corner of her eye.
She quickly turned her back to the instrument, and grabbed Jeffery's arm, "Get me out of here at once! I can't get on my car!"
Jeffery planned to say no.
Cathy looked at him pleadingly, "I can not let the media and my grandmother know that I got hurt, I... am begging you."
Jeffery glanced at her, looked at her bleeding arm, and then took her to his own car.
As his motorbike had been damaged and the new one had not been bought to replace it yet, Jeffery came to the bar by a car that day.
After Cathy sat in Jeffery's car to leave the bar, she called Lynn first. She asked Lynn to drive her car away so as to divert the journalists' attention.
As soon as Cathy hung up the phone, she heard the sound of cloth ripping. When she paused for a moment to see what it was, Jeffery pulled her injured arm towards him. Cathy's heart started to race like a horse, as she looked at the man next to her wrapping her wound with a piece of black cloth.
Inside the castle
Jeffery parked his silver Lamborghini in the parking lot, and got off the car. He opened the car door for Cathy, but found that she had no intention to get out of the car. Jeffery looked at Cathy confusedly. Cathy touched her wound which had been plainly bandaged by Jeffery, looked around the castle, and then shrank her neck with a look of apprehension, "I... don't want to cosplay as a vampire."
Jeffery rolled his eyes, and said, "I am not interested in vampires either. If you don't get off the car quickly, you will probably bleed to death here."
At the moment, Cathy's face grew even much paler. Jeffery did not give her a chance to talk. He looked at her face and said, "You are as terrifying as a ghost."
Cathy was still in a sense of shock, and thus she said, "I must go to hospital immediately." If she had known that Jeffery was bold enough to live in such a spooky place and even take her here, she would not have asked him to take her away from being shot by the media.
"Aren't you afraid the journalists and your grandmother are going to replace out about your situation?"
"..." Cathy realized that she didn't have any better options and so she got off the car obediently and followed Jeffery into the castle.
The castle's interior design was based on the old European castles, and it was not as horrible as Cathy had imagined. A man who was presumably the butler was already standing there waiting for them with medical kit in his hand.
Earlier when they were stopped at a red light, Jeffery had already asked his butler to prepare everything before their arrival.
"Come here and sit down." Jeffery directed Cathy to sit beside him. Then, he opened the medical kit, and took out the ethyl alcohol and gauze.
When the butler walked away, Cathy realized that he might be blind as he used a walking stick for guidance.
She walked unsteadily towards Jeffery. Then, she sat beside him and extended her injured arm to him.
Jeffery took a look at her and said, "Put out your foot first."
Cathy was a little taken aback, and thought that he must have noticed her foot injury as well.
Jeffery pointed at the way she had just passed through. Cathy soon found the trail of blood she had left behind her on the white carpet as she followed in his direction.
She was embarrassed and instantly apologized for staining the carpet, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, let me pay for the dry cleaning..."
"Are you rich?" Jeffery interrupted Cathy with his cold voice.
Cathy intended to nod but suddenly chose to shut up when she realized that she was in Jeffery's vast and resplendent castle. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
