Chapter 140
“What do you mean by you lost him?!” The chief police officer in charge of the kidnapping case yelled
into the walkie-talkie.
The police officer with the walkie-talkie grimaced at his superior’s harsh tone. He knew that they would
be receiving an earful the moment he returned from the search.
“It’s exactly what I said chief. There’s no track anymore. We can’t find him at all. It’s almost as if he just
disappeared from the forest.” The police officer replied bitterly. “And you want me to believe that?!” The
chief police officer yelled angrily.
“Chief-”
“Never mind. I shouldn’t have trusted you lot with something so important. Come back now; and don’t
let me wait for you more than necessary!” The chief police officer yelled furiously and ended the
conversation.
The police officer sighed and raised his head to the other police officers before yelling.
“Stop searching and pack up! We’re going back!” The police officers obeyed his orders and started
packing, and in less than a minute, the once rowdy forest was now empty and silent once again.
Back at the cabin, Darius had been given world class emergency treatment and was now wheeled into
an ambulance. The paramedics were all present in the ambulance, and were now about to leave.
Alice whose heart was wrenching at Darius’ injury was restricted entry into the ambulance Darius was
wheeled into; but this only served to increase her worry and rightfully so. The nearest hospital was
located in the heart of Yale city, which was more than three hours away, so it was hard to say if Darius
would survive during those three hours.
Alice who was the victim of the kidnapping still needed to give her statement to the police, plus she was
also dirty from the rough 36 hours she had, so she needed to clean up too.
Just as she was getting into the police van, the police officers who embarked on the hunt for Michael
arrived at the cabin. She could see the chief police yelling at them, but she couldn’t make out what was
being said. Before she could pay close attention to their discussion, the police van she was in started
and drove off.
The ambulance drove at top speed to the nearest hospital, while the paramedics in the ambulance kept
on administering emergency treatment to Darius. There was so much blood around Darius, and as the
bullet was just an inch away from his heart, it was unknown whether he would survive till they arrived at
the hospital. However, the paramedics were soon shocked at Darius’ perseverance. Despite the huge
amount of blood lost, Darius was able to maintain his health just above the danger level!
The paramedics had no idea that this was because of the self healing trait the golden liquid gave
Darius. He was able to continually heal and maintain his health just above the danger level because of
the self healing trait.
Nonetheless, the self healing trait was not omnipotent, so unless the bullet embedded in Darius’ chest
was removed, Darius would never be fully healed; and if it wasn’t removed soon, Darius’ health would
surely take a huge hit. Luckily, the ambulance was able to arrive at the hospital two hours later, one
hour ahead of the scheduled time.
The hospital had already been contacted ahead of time, so when the ambulance arrived at the hospital,
Darius was quickly wheeled into the operating theatre and had the best of surgeons operate on him.
Meanwhile, while Darius was being operated on, Bruce was driving Darius’ grandfather to the hospital.
“Damn Darius! How many times has he gotten critically injured?! Is he tired of living?!” His grandfather
cursed angrily; but the worry on his face and voice could not be hidden.
The moment he was contacted by the hospital as Darius’ next of kin, he immediately ordered Bruce to
drive him to Yale city, not caring how far of a distance it was from the Reid Mansion to the hospital. This
clearly showed how worried Darius’ grandfather was. “Who was responsible for his injury?!” His
grandfather asked angrily, and the wrath of vengeance could be seen roiling in his eyes.
“According to the police, it was the current head of the Finn conglomerate, Michael Finn who was
responsible for his critical state.” Bruce answered. “What exactly happened?” Darius grandfather asked
with a frown on his face.
Bruce then narrated what happened from the moment Darius discovered Alice was kidnapped, to the
search for her, and to when he got shot by Michael.
There was a deep frown on Darius’ grandfather’s face as Bruce narrated what happened, and the
frown only deepened as Bruce kept narrating. By the time Bruce was done narrating the events that led
to Darius’ shooting in detail, there was a sinister frown on James Reid’s face.
Just as he finished narrating the events, Bruce drove the white Rolls-Royce into the hospital grounds.
He parked the car neatly and alighted from the vehicle. He then led Darius’ grandfather straight to the
theatre waiting room where Darius was still operated on.
In the waiting room was Alice, who had just finished giving her statement to the police. She had been
there thirty minutes after Darius was wheeled into the operating room, and refused to leave for
whatsoever reason. She even refused to take her bath and clean up, opting to wait until she heard the
outcome of Darius’ surgery before doing such.
When she saw Darius grandfather walk into the waiting room, the atmosphere became unbearably
tense for her. After all, James Reid was the former head of a financial group whose wealth couldn’t be
measured. His aura wasn’t something a normal person like Alice could handle.
Darius’ grandfather glared at her angrily, as it was because of her kidnap that his grandson
was fighting for his life in the operating theatre. His glare made Alice very scared, but he didn’t say
anything to her and just sat down, also opting to wait for the outcome of the surgery, while Bruce stood
still behind him.
After the three of them waited for an hour more, the door to the theatre room opened and the doctor in
charge of Darius’ operation walked out.
