Chapter 164 Specific Uneasiness Overpowering Her
Daniel held Jane tight to his breast.
When Cedric wanted to grab the pistol with his uninjured hand, Daniel violently stepped on his wrist with his foot, breaking it, and making Cedric screech with great pain.
After kicking the pistol away, he held his woman tight in his arms, and kicked Cedric in the stomach with full strength.
Held tight by Daniel in his arms and hearing Cedric screaming from the ground, Janet had no idea what he had done to Cedric.
The last thing that Cedric should've done was to try holding Janet hostage.
If he hadn't tried this stunt, Cedric would have gone behind bars without his arms and legs broken.
Two PR supervisors there were startled by Daniel's fury.
They even felt lucky that Daniel was usually inclined to punish people just with eyes, when he was in a bad mood.
But, judging from what had happened, they had no doubt that Daniel would have killed Cedric in a blink of an eye if homicide were legal.
Cedric was then taken away, and Daniel lifted Janet to his chest and placed her in the backseat of the car. He then took a seat beside her. Before she could utter a single word, her lips were pressed by his.
His kiss was still arrogant and rude, and even more violent than before.
She had intended to please him, but ended up being tortured. Her tongue suffered a lot.
She grasped his wrists tight, with her fingernails sinking deep into his skin.
The woman kept leaning backward, but he kept pressing down on her.
She felt his kiss behind her ear, and said, "Well... Daniel, let me go..."
Hearing this, the man tried to kiss her again, but Janet immediately covered her mouth.
Looking each other in the eye, they could both feel each other's breath.
Fury gleamed in his eyes...
The woman then withdrew her hands, and asked irritated, "Why are you so angry?"
He gently touched her smooth cheek, and answered in a hoarse voice, "You should have filled me that you were coming here." "You're mad just because of that?"
"Of course not," he answered. He was still pissed at Cedric because he had dared to hold her hostage.
He was still angry because of her rash act.
Janet felt heartbroken at the thought that he didn't want to see her.
"I'll leave then if you don't want to see me," she said. She tried to push the man away, but he wouldn't budge.
The man sighed and clasped his arms around her. It seemed that he was powerless to this woman.
Janet was perplexed; she didn't know why Daniel held her in his arms, although he was still mad at her.
"They're accusing you of murder. What's going on here?" Janet showed a great deal of concern while mentioning this.
Daniel slightly smiled, and said, "Do you believe that I'm a murderer?"
"Of course not!" she replied, without the slightest hesitation. 'How could Daniel ever be a murderer? He would never do such a thing.' she thought. Her trust gave Daniel much delight. After all, she was his silly little girl.
"I was set up. The police are investigating it." Cedric had been already caught, and it wouldn't take long until William was also captured.
Knowing that he hadn't done it, Janet felt relieved. Thinking of the pregnant woman, she carefully asked, "Is that pregnant woman really... dead?" The man nodded a yes. What a tragedy!
"What about the unborn baby?"
"It also died." He then sat straight and pulled Janet to his chest.
Hearing this, Janet trembled, and wondered who would be so ruthless as to kill a pregnant woman.
Things calmed down in the car, and hearing his wild heartbeat, Janet held the man even more tightly in her arms.
They got out of the car, and Daniel kissed her forehead. He said, "I'll take you home."
It was a two to three hour drive from there to downtown, maybe even shorter.
Janet wanted to refuse him, but Daniel had already asked her bodyguard to drive her car back home.
Janet then took a seat beside him as he requested of her.
On their way, Daniel told her, "Something happened to Miss Zheng; I'll take you to see her now."
"What? What happened to Shirley?" Janet kept her eyes on the man, who was driving fast.
After a brief silence, Daniel said, "She protected me and was attacked by a worker with a club."
'Shirley received a hit for Daniel?' Suddenly an uneasiness dropped on her. "How is she now?" she asked.
"I don't know," said Daniel.
After returning downtown, Daniel then drove to the Chengyang Private Hospital.
They climbed to the ninth floor after asking where Shirley's ward was.
Opening the door, they saw a woman in a hospital gown trying to walk towards the tea pot.
Hearing the door open, she turned back, and said, "Mr. Si, Janet..."
Then, all of a sudden, Shirley slumped to one side, and Janet was so startled that she ran forward to catch her.
However, Daniel reacted faster than she did, and before Shirley fell to the ground, Daniel caught her in the nick of time.
He lifted Shirley to his chest and then placed her on the bed.
Janet gazed at the scene with a specific uneasiness overpowering her.
Lying in bed, Shirley closed her eyes, opened them, and then closed them again. She looked very sick.
"Are you all right? I'll go and call the doctor."
The man stepped back, with his hands buried in his pockets. His voice was plain, and although it wasn't as cold as usual, it was still emotionless.
Janet's heart raced. She had always hated to see Daniel treating other women so nice.
She couldn't tolerate anyone, even if it was her best friend.
Janet tittered at her jealousy. Shirley had got injured protecting him; how could Daniel now be indifferent to seeing Shirley sick?
Having overcome her ill sentiments, Janet walked up to Shirley, and quietly and quickly, said, "Shirley. How are you feeling now? Why is your head wrapped in this gauze? Did you injure your head?" Daniel had already pressed the bell near the bed, and Shirley smiled towards Janet with a pale look, and said, "Janet, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
"Where's Spark?" asked Daniel. He had told Spark to stay here to attend to Shirley's needs.
"He left to buy some food just a few minutes ago." The door then opened, and a doctor entered Shirley's ward.
"Shirley, tell the doctor if you're not feeling well." Janet tucked her inside the blanket.
Shirley shook her head, and said, "I'm fine, I just felt dizzy for a moment."
The doctor did a routine checkup on her again, and said, "The patient has suffered a slight concussion, which may cause her dizziness. But, if she rests for a couple of days, she will be fully recovered." A slight concussion...
Janet couldn't help touching her forehead. She said, "Shirley, it must've hurt. You shouldn't have taken such a risk."
But Shirley shook her head and grabbed Janet by the hand, and said, "I'm okay, Janet, you don't need to worry about me."
She had done it for Daniel, and she didn't regret it one moment.
Janet nodded, and Spark also entered the ward with the food.
After he greeted them, Spark brought the food to Shirley.
