Chapter 800 Beside Her Bed
Gregory explained, "After an examination, it was found that the driver had hidden the poison in his teeth. And as soon as something went awry, he immediately committed suicide. This shows that he’s an assassin that came prepared."
Vickie’s face grew colder.
An image of the car driving recklessly towards her popped up in her mind.
Gregory paid attention to her expression and reminded her, "The one who ran over Jennie Taylor… his background is still unclear to us at the moment, so we need time to check. If you go out now, even if you're a good fighter, not even Hercules can contend against two, so you might get caught by them soon.
"When that happens, your death is secondary. Who will take revenge for Jennie then? Are you just going to let her die in vain?"
Vickie shook hard!
She looked up at him, puzzled.
"So what should I do?"
"Stay."
Suddenly, his hand rested on her shoulder and carried with it a heavy, calming energy.
“Whatever you want to do, I'll accompany you. What you can't accomplish, I'll help you. The premise is that you stay and keep yourself safe."
Vickie's eyes were in a daze.
She looked at Gregory, and at that moment, she suddenly did not understand what was going on in this man's mind.
Vickie asked, "Haven't you always hated me? You wanted me dead to avenge the death of your brothers. So why are you protecting me now? What’s your motive?"
Gregory's fingertips went stiff for a moment.
There was a fine and dense feeling that arose from the bottom of his heart, which confused him.
He turned his head slightly to shy away from Vickie’s gaze.
After a moment of silence, he replied, "Just take it as… I'm insane!"
Vickie was dumbfounded.
In the end, she decided to stay.
Gregory was right. Now, for whatever reason, there were two groups of people out there who wanted her dead.
There must be some other secrets about her. Otherwise, the Chinese Association would not try their best to capture her alive.
Even Gregory and herself did not know about these secrets. She now had to rush to find out those secrets before the others did and discover what they were up to, then destroy them all.
Either that or find an opportunity to get leverage on the other party, then find a way to fight back.
Who was the other group that wanted her dead at all costs?
She would find out sooner or later. As long as she was still alive, no matter who it was or where they were, she would not let them go.
Vickie would personally bring the culprit in front of Jennie's grave and kill him with her own hands as a tribute to Jennie's spirit in heaven.
After she decided to stay, she continued to live in her original room in the auxiliary building.
Yuliana was initially elated to hear that Vickie had left the chateau. Then, when she heard that something had happened to Vickie, she was even more excited that she could not even sleep.
Later, she learned that Gregory had rescued Vickie and brought the woman back to the chateau.
Yuliana had no say in what Gregory was thinking or doing anyway, so she did not think much of it.
In her mind, Gregory had only rescued Vickie out of an impulse. Since Vickie was going to leave anyway, it did not matter if he had saved her or not.
Yet now, she just heard that Gregory wanted her to stay?
That woman was back in her room in the auxiliary building?
What did that mean?
Was he trying to two-time them and make her share a husband with this woman?
Yuliana probably had not even thought that, based on Gregory's attitude towards her and their superficial relationship, there was no need for words like “sharing a husband”.
In her mind, Gregory had pampered her occasionally and everyone now thought that she was his woman.
So how could she allow others to sleep soundly beside her bed?
Once the seed of jealousy had taken root in her heart, it was hard to ignore.
Yuliana pondered for a long time and still could not figure out why Gregory had brought Vickie back.
That vixen must have pulled some tricks.
Although Gregory was an unaffectionate person, he was actually hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and he was a very loyal person.
After all, they were together once and she heard that they even grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so even if they had a fallout, he might still have some feelings for her in his heart.
That woman was now clinging onto him, and it was unclear what kind of thoughts she harbored.
As she thought of this, a hint of cruel jealousy flashed across Yuliana’s eyes.
No, she could not just sit idly by. She had to do something!
Then, Yuliana sighed and turned to walk out.
…
Vickie’s injuries needed a long time to heal.
Not to mention the ones on her legs and head, but just due to her few broken bones, she could not get out of bed in a day or two.
Therefore, during this period, she had been lying in bed to recuperate.
Mr. Osborne had found the best doctor in town to treat her and the results were good. At the very least, some of the obvious wounds had healed quickly.
No matter how brilliant the doctor was, he was not a god. He deduced that Vickie would have to wait at least half a year before she could fully recover.
When Vickie heard this, this put her in a bad mood.
Gregory, however, was very satisfied with this.
Although he did not want her to get hurt, her injuries were the only reason that this woman would stay here obediently.
As he thought of this, he could not help but think of the groups of people who wanted to kill her.
His eyes darkened.
Strangely enough, with the power he had and if he was given a little clue, who could he not find?
Yet this time, it was particularly odd because no matter how he investigated, it only pointed to the driver.
The mastermind behind the driver was like a stone that sunk to the bottom of the sea — there was no news about it.
Gregory’s face sank as he pondered for a moment. He then dialed a number.
"Harold, help me with something."
…
At nightfall when the evening lights were lit.
Vickie, who had spent the entire day in bed to recuperate, was bored to death. Her limbs were also stiff from the long period of inactivity.
After dinner, she had nothing to do and refused to sleep again no matter what.
She kept thinking of ways to leave but was stuck, so she asked Andrea to bring over a set of darts to practice her dart throwing skills.
Vickie had learned this skill from Gregory when she was very young.
At that time, she was only 13 or 14 years old, but Gregory was 4 years older than her and had just reached adulthood.
Once when he was throwing darts in the yard, Vickie saw him and wanted to learn. He refused at first as he thought that it was too dangerous for a girl to play darts.
However, Vickie was very persistent and did not want anything else but to learn this.
Gregory was pestered so much by her that he had no choice but to teach her.
Unexpectedly, Vickie, who was not very good with any other weapons, had shown amazing talent after being exposed to darts.
Very quickly, she had learned the proper techniques and was able to hit targets accurately.
When Gregory saw this, he did not object to her continuous learning and even taught her all the techniques he knew.
