Chapter 279:
“Miss Hewitt?” Just then, Judson’s voice sounded from outside the door.
“Judson, thank God you’re here!” When Annabel saw Judson come in, she felt a small sense of relief. “Where’s Rupert? Have you seen him p>
Judson averted his gaze and stammered, “Mr. Benton p>
“Yes? How is he?” Seeing that Judson seemed hesitant to answer her, Annabel pressed him anxiously.
“He’s currently receiving emergency medical treatment,” Judson sighed and decided to be honest. “He was seriously injured p>
Emergency medical treatment… Seriously injured…
Annabel’s mind went completely blank all of a sudden. Rupert had gotten hurt because of her.
The memories of the warehouse suddenly exploding flooded her mind.
If Rupert hadn’t saved her, he wouldn’t have been badly hurt.
“Where is the emergency room?” Annabel suddenly asked.
Judson seemed startled. The next second, he came to his senses and answered, “The eighteenth floor p>
As soon as Judson said this, Annabel rushed out of the ward and went straight to the elevator, jabbing the button anxiously.

Gritting her teeth, she turned around and headed for the stairs. Ignoring the pain, she climbed thirteen flights of steps and finally made it to the eighteenth floor.
“Where is Rupert Benton?” Annabel grabbed a doctor like a madwoman.

“How is he? Is he okay?” Annabel asked, wringing the doctor’s coat anxiously.
The doctor shook his head with a sigh. “Sorry, I don’t know p>
Annabel let go of him and rushed to the emergency room door, but a nurse standing there stopped her. “I’m sorry, miss. The doctor is in the middle of treating the patient. You can’t go in p>
“Is the patient okay p>
Looking at the closed door of the emergency room, Annabel felt utterly powerless.
The nurse smiled politely. “Please rest assured that the doctor will do his best p>
Rest assured?
How could she possibly rest assured?
If something bad happened to Rupert, she would never be able to live with herself.
Annabel’s heart felt as though it was hanging in midair.
She fell to her knees and clasped her hands in front of her chest, praying desperately for Rupert’s safety.
“Annabel p>
A familiar voice reached her ears, pulling her back to reality.
