Chapter 229<\/p>\n
Leo and Hugh, sitting at the bar, accepted the cocktails Truman handed them. Leo raised his glass and said, \u201cMr. Simpson, Hugh, I\u2019ve felt uneasy today for some reason. Let\u2019s toast!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, same here. Cheers, to good luck and getting rid of the bad vibes,\u201d Truman said, clinking glasses with Leo and Hugh.<\/p>\n
Just as Leo was about to sip, Steven called. Leo put down his glass and answered the phone. He asked, \u201cHey, Steven, what\u2019s up? Is your mission done, and are you heading back?\u201d<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, Leo\u2019s eyes went blank, and the phone he had been gripping tightly slipped from his hand and fell to the<\/p>\n
floor.<\/p>\n
There were no customers in Ebb & Flow, so the loud sound of the phone hitting the ground caught everyone\u2019s attention. Even Cherise looked over.<\/p>\n
Hugh bent down to pick up Leo\u2019s phone and asked with concern. \u201cLeo, what\u2019s up? You look lost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Remembering that Cherise was still on stage, Leo snapped back to reality. Facing away from the stage, he choked up. He whispered to Truman and Hugh, \u201cMr. Chivers got into trouble in Manesia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Hugh and Truman were also stunned, their hearts filled with indescribable emotions. Leo\u2019s hands trembled as he said, \u201cMr. Simpson, Hugh, please take care of Ms. Leach. I need to head to Manesia right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
As that, he turned and ran towards the door. He stumbled awkwardly and bumped into several chairs as he went. He hadn\u2019t even reached the corner.<\/p>\n
Somehow, Cherise, who was just on the stage a moment ago, was now standing before Leo.<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise, Leo abruptly stopped. He tried to appear calm and said, \u201cMs. Leach, my mom called and needs me back home. Sorry, I have to leave early.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise locked eyes with Leo. Noticing the phone tightly gripped in his hand, she asked, \u201cDid something happen to Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo replied, \u201cNo, it\u2019s nothing. Just some stuff at home, I\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t finish his sentence before Cherise interrupted him sharply, \u201cTell the truth!\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo hesitated when Cherise quickly grabbed his phone. Without knowing the passcode, Cherise unlocked it instantly and redialed Steven\u2019s number.<\/p>\n
It rang for a long time before Steven answered, \u201cHey, Leo, I can\u2019t talk now. We\u2019ve found Mr. Chivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just as Steven was about to hang up, Cherise shot up, \u201cSteven, what\u2019s going on with Morris? Tell me now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven, on the other end, hesitated briefly. But given the situation, he had to be honest and quickly explain the situation. Then he said, \u201cMs. Leach, we found Mr. Chivers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s covered in blood and barely breathing. The rescue team just arrived and is taking him to the nearest hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Cherise closed her eyes for no more than three seconds, then suddenly opened them wide. She said, \u201cLeo, you stay and ensure the Chivers Group operates smoothly.<\/p>\n
\u201cTruman, please keep an eye on the Chivers family for me. Hugh, let\u2019s head to GlobalVision Group right away, then we\u2019ll take off for Manesia.\u201d<\/p>\n
After speaking, she didn\u2019t wait for anyone to reply and continued, \u201cWith Morris not here, I\u2019m in charge. Hugh, let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 229<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d everyone responded together as if they were following military orders.<\/p>\n
On the way to GlobalVision Group, Cherise was the driver, and Hugh sat in the passenger seat. Their car was going fast, constantly overtaking other cars.<\/p>\n
Cherise put on a Bluetooth headset and called Crow. She said, \u201cet Falcon ready. I\u2019ll need it in 20 minutes.\u201d After saying that, she touched the earpiece to hang up.<\/p>\n
She turned to Hugh and said, \u201cCall Steven and put it on speakerphone.\u201d Hugh didn\u2019t hesitate and quickly dialed Steven\u2019s number.<\/p>\n
The call was answered almost instantly. Steven said, \u201cHugh, Mr. Chivers might not make it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise, who was driving, suddenly heard a loud noise in her mind. She asked, \u201cWhat do you mean he might not make it? What\u2019s going on now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven replied, \u201cWe\u2019re heading to the hospital, and there\u2019s still half an hour to go. Mr. Chivers has multiple wounds that won\u2019t stop bleeding his chest, arm, and thigh are all torn open. The doctor said it might be too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
Cherise tightened her grip on the steering wheel and said, \u201cSteven, don\u2019t let the doctor distract you. Just follow my instructions.<\/p>\n
\u201cExpose his knee, bend it, and place your index and middle fingers two inches above the top of the knee joint. Press down hard, release after 10 seconds, and repeat three times. Hurry!\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven tried to calm down and quickly followed Cherise\u2019s directions. A minute later, he exclaimed, \u201cMs. Leach, it\u2019s done!\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing Steven\u2019s response, Cherise said, \u201cGood. Now press on the spot an inch to the left of the center of the sole using the same method three times. Tell me once you\u2019re finished.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven followed the instructions again, convinced Cherise could safely wake Morris. After another minute, Steven shouted, \u201cAll done, Ms. Leach! It looks like the bleeding has stopped.\u201d Cherise, still driving, and Hugh both breathed a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
www<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, tell Morris to wait for me. I\u2019m going to bring him home,\u201d Cherise said, then asked Hugh to end the call with Steven. Her eyes grew a bit watery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-254","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
