Chapter 27
Robin survived, but his spine was shattered and he was crippled from the waist down.
Everyone was left gaping as he stayed stuck in the wall, afraid to make a sound.
Frank simply picked up his medical ingredients and turned to leave, while none of Robin’s thugs dared to stop him.
Helen watched as he went and suddenly called out, “Frank…”
Frank did not look back at all.
Blondie was left staring at Robin in turn, at a loss for what to do.
It seemed that they had to call Leo Grayson about this…
“Just you wait! Our boss will destroy all of you!” Blondie snarled and hurried away with his fellow thugs who were still standing.
Gina almost passed out right then, having heard of Leo’s savagery–there was once a thug who messed with his girl, and Leo cut him into pieces on the spot and fed him to the fishes!
What are they supposed to do if a cold–blooded murderer like them came after her family?!
Grabbing Sean as he was their only saving grace now, Gina cried, “Please, Mr. Wesley, you have to help us! You’re our only hope!”
Sean gulped–where would he get the influence to pacify Leo?!
Stammering for a long while, he eventually mumbled, “A–Actually, I’ll talk to my dad. He could get a word in, and I’m sure Leo wouldn’t go too far…”
He certainly was not confident despite what he said.
Leo was nothing less than a rabid dog who would not let go once he bites down!
There was a chance that Leo might be after Sean now, so instead of begging for the Lanes, he should be running!
On the other hand, Gina was thanking Sean repeatedly, stopping short of kowtowing to him. “Thank you so much, Mr. Wesley. Our family owes you our lives now! If there’s anything you need, just ask away!”
Helen turned toward Sean just then. “Mr. Wesley, could you help Frank too?”
She certainly could not bear to abandon Frank since she was the reason he was in deep trouble.
Be that as it may, Sean’s face fell at the mention of Frank.
“You’re still siding with him now?” he snarled coldly. “Hasn’t he caused us enough trouble?! I can only do my best to protect your family–I couldn’t care less about Frank!”
And with that, he stormed out of the hospital.
Gina was in turn snapping at Helen in disappointment, “What’s your problem?! Why do you still care about Frank now that things have come to this?! You should be properly fawning over Sean so that he saves us!”
Helen bit her lip. “But Frank was trying to save me!”
“Who cares?!” Gina retorted. “You might be friends with Robin Grayson now if not for him! And our family would be even more powerful!
Helen was utterly speechless and stood up to leave. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Where are you going?” Gina snapped.
“I want to be alone,” Helen replied coldly.
Leo and his men hurried to Skymex Club in the evening, and Blondie was shuddering even as he greeted the man. “Mr. Grayson…”
“Where’s my son?” Leo growled.
Blondie did not hesitate even a second and led Leo straight to a private room.
Inside, Robin was laying on a bed, having regained consciousness.
Seeing his father, he groaned in anguish, “Dad, you have to help me…
