StarNovelChapter 1174
Theo soon cback with a first aid kit in his hand.
He put the first aid kit on the office table and asked me, "Where else do you have scratches besides your arms
and face?"
He had already rolled up my sleeves as he spoke.
"My neck." | raised my head. "But they aren't serious."
In a fight between women, vital points generally would not be involved. Usually, it was only the arms and face.
Even if the wounds were left alone, they would recover by themselves in a few days. Theo was too nervous.
Seeing how he was lowering his head and focusing on treating my wounds with gentle and meticulous actions,
my mind started running wild uncontrollably.
Theo suddenly raised his head to look at m e. When our eyes met, | becflustered and quickly shifted my
gaze away. "What's wrong?"

He raised his eyebrows. "Answer your phone."
| froze, not knowing what he meant by that. "What?"
Theo sighed gently. "Your phone is ringing."
| realized in hindsight that my phone was ringing. | quickly took out the phone from my pocket. Seeing that it
was a call from Shannon, | secretly cried out in my heart. | had forgotten all about her.
As soon as | answered the call, Shannon's roar rang out. "What are you doing, bestie? Why didn't you answer my
call?"
| said a little awkwardly, "I was occupied. Are you here?”
A lot of thad passed. She should have arrived a long tago.
Sure enough. Shannon's voice was full of bitterness as she said, "I've been standing like a fool in front of the
village entrance for half an hour. | haven't been to the research institute before, so | don't know where that is.
Get someone to cand pickup.”
| looked at Theo. Keith had brought Elena t o the hospital, Gaily needed to audit the accounts, and needless to
say, Jordan was busier than anyone. It seemed like | was the idlest one here.
Theo caughtstaring at him and asked a little curiously, "What's wrong?”
| pursed my lips. "Shannon is here and toldto go and pick her up."
Theo frowned. "Is she at the entrance of the village?"
I nodded. "She doesn’t know where the research institute is, so she's waiting at the village entrance."
Theo hummed slightly, and there was no more response from him.
| felt a bit confused and thought that maybe he would handle it. Hence, | did not say anything else after that.
After leaving the office, | went with him to ask about the progress of the case.
| was shocked to see Keith. "Didn't you take Elena to the hospital?"

Keith sighed. "I have things to handle, so | told Kingston to take her there."
Having said that, he handed the document i n his hands to Theo. "Mr. Grant, this document was sent toby
Mr. Krayden. Have a look."
Theo nodded and took the document from his hands and said mildly, "How's the investigation going?"
Keith frowned. "We have sclues now. Someone outside cto the criminal’s aid, but they don't seem like a
reoffender, s o it'll take stfor us to get answers."
Theo did not question further and took the files back to the office.
| did not follow him and went to see Gaily.
She had nothing to do right now, so she quickly askedwhen she saw me, "You didn’t fight, did you?”
| nodded. "He toldnot to get hurt when | get involved in a fight next time."
Lally immediately looked atwith an ambiguous gaze, teasing me, "As expected o f the president. He has no ads by
limits when it comes to spoiling his wife." Pubfuture
