Chapter 282:
Sadness crept across Annabel’s face. “As you can see, he’s still in a coma p>
“Don’t worry. He will come around soon,” Finley said, trying to comfort her.
“I hope so.” Annabel nodded. Suddenly, something occurred to her. “By the way, how is the company p>
Finley was supposed to be holding the reins in Douburgh, and the company had yet to return to its former glory.
It had slipped her mind to check how things were going over there.
Finley said in a somewhat cold tone, “The press conference kind of won some support for the company. The stock price began rising again. But the explosion changed the tide for the p>
“The worse. There have been countless negative comments online, and the stock price is plummeting again p>
No surprise there.
“Is the current situation that bad?” Annabel asked.
“Yes, it is,” Finley said seriously, his shoulders slouching.
After thinking for a while, Annabel said, “The first thing we need to do now is find out the truth. We must capture the culprit and expose everything to the public before things get any worse p>
“I will try my best,” Finley said firmly. “You must be tired. How about you go back to rest? I can stay here with him through the night p>
“No, I want to be by his side.” Annabel shook her head. She wanted to be there when he regained consciousness. Her mind wouldn’t be at rest if she left him in the care of someone else.
Finley smiled. “I understand, but you are injured too. You need to rest. Do you want to collapse before Mr. Benton wakes up? You can rest assured. I and the bodyguards will protect him. He’s in safe hands p>
Apart from the exhaustion written all over Annabel’s face, her entire body was aching badly. She also had something important to attend to.

She looked at Finley and the bodyguards at the door before nodding reluctantly. “Fine, I’ll go rest and come back tomorrow morning p>
Finley walked her back to her ward and returned.
With his hands in his pockets, he instructed the bodyguards, “Be alert. Let no one in, okay p>
“Yes, sir!” the bodyguards responded, standing at attention.
Finley closed the door and walked to the bed. He moved closer to Rupert and whispered respectfully, “Sir, I have sent Annabel back to her ward. We are alone now p>
The next second, Rupert’s eyes fluttered open.
He sat up and leaned against the headboard. He then asked, “Does anyone doubt my condition p>
Finley shook his head with a smile. “No. Even Annabel believes that you are unconscious p>
“That’s good p>
“Sir, if you don’t mind me asking, why don’t you tell her? You should have seen the look on her face just now. She’s truly worried about you,” Finley said lightly.
