Chapter 67 Rescue
Sean then closed the car door for Norah. He looked at the scene before him. Everything seemed to be in disarray. He assumed the person in the white car, breathing heavily, was likely Kaiden.
"Mr. Scott, the bodyguards will soon be here," Phillip said, approaching Sean.
"You stay here and handle things while I take Miss Wilson back." Sean's eyes gleamed maliciously, and he finished, "You know what to do."
"Yes, I do," Phillip replied.
Sean then got into the car and drove out of the abandoned factory.
Phillip sighed as he watched Sean anxiously drive out. This marked the first time Sean had
treated a woman this gently aside from Susanna.
Soon, the Scott family's bodyguards arrived at the factory. Five men in plain clothes got out and began taking care of the situation.
Norah, who was seated in the back seat with Sean's support, glanced at Sean's computer displaying Glophia's traffic surveillance.
Norah was a bit surprised. Was it that easy to access the city's traffic surveillance? Did he do this to locate her?
At this thought, Norah's heart skipped a beat. Right then, Sean got in the car.
On the highway, Norah saw a military-green Jeep speed past them in the opposite direction.
Sean looked at Norah through the rearview mirror. Her head hung low, and her hands were clasped together. She looked quite uneasy.
"The incident was unexpected. It's enough that you're unharmed. You don't have to worry about anything. I'll take care of you," Sean said, reassuring her.
Norah looked up, teary-eyed. "I..."
"You don't have to say anything. I'm here for you, Sean said, cutting her off. His tone then grew curious, and he asked. "You work in a hospital, Miss Wilson. You must have seen a dead body before, haven't you?"
I have seen quite a few, Norah replied, nodding. She couldn't, however, talk about her involvement with the organization or anything involving guns, as it was not a suitable small talk topic.
Having personally taken a life, Sean understood that killing for the first time seriously taxed a person's mental health. If one did not properly handle this, they would live in regret for the rest of their life. This caused him to be quite worried about Norah's psychological state.
"They were killers and terrible people. They deserved to die, Sean said, his eyes gleaming
murderously. He would have killed them if Norah hadn't.
Norah could sense the murderous intent behind his words. She couldn't understand why someone as highly regarded as Sean would come to the abandoned factory in the middle of the night with Phillip. Was it just to find her?
Norah doubted it. She was nothing other than a doctor providing medical care for the Scott family. She didn't deserve that kind of treatment from Sean. Also, Susanna had asked him earlier today. He had made it clear that he merely appreciated her. One didn't treat a person they merely appreciated like this.
Yet, Norah couldn't deny that the mere sight of Sean gave her butterflies in her stomach. She
had been trying to keep those feelings at bay, feeling she shouldn't have felt that way.
"Did you come here just to find me, Mr. Scott?" Norah asked. Her fists were clenched as she
waited in anticipation for his answer.
The black sedan sped on the highway.
"Of course," Sean replied swiftly.
"Why?" Norah was puzzled. How had he known where to find her? Why had he come himself to the abandoned factory for her? Sean could have easily sent his subordinates to go check on the situation. There was no need for him to be there personally. There was also no need for him to comfort her since she only pretended to be scared. Plus, their interactions had been minimal.
"What do you think, Miss Wilson?" Sean asked back, slightly tuming to face her.
"I think you're afraid I'll die, and there would be no one to help Rodrigo and Susanna," Norah said, tilting her head. She couldn't think of any logical answer other than this. Her interactions with Sean in the past had been quite few, so she didn't know what else to think.
"You're right, Sean said, chuckling. "Without you, I wouldn't know how to help my grandpa and Susanna."
"You have to be joking, Mr. Scott. Other skilled doctors could treat your grandpa and Susanna. Your reason seems illogical," Norah said. It seemed that Sean had done more for her than she
deserved. "I owe you one, Mr. Scott, Norah said gratefully. Sean's timely arrival had saved her life and
Kaiden's. Sean didn't know Norah was able to take care of the thugs, while she had not anticipated his
arrival.
"Soon, you'll have the opportunity to repay it, Sean said, a faint smile on his face.
Norah frowned at this. She hated owing people favors, as that seemed to complicate things.
However, she refrained from saying anything like that, as Sean had just saved her. She replied,
When the time comes.”
Norah leaned back in her seat and casually asked, "Do you have friends at the transportation bureau, Mr. Scott? I couldn't help but notice that your computer showed the entire Glophia's traffic surveillance."
Sean tumed and saw that the computer in the backseat wasn't tumed off. "Yes," he simply replied.
Norah didn't doubt that he had connections in the transportation bureau. Given his status in Glophia and how many treated him with the utmost respect, accessing the traffic surveillance would not be difficult for him.
Meanwhile, Kason drove his military-green jeep with two policemen in it rapidly to where the white car was last seen. They spotted a building when they left the highway.
One policeman pointed ahead and said, "That abandoned factory has been deserted for ten years. It used to be a tire processing plant. It's the only building in this vicinity."
Kason felt uneasy, but he didn't let this show on his face. Calmly, he remarked, "There are three people there, and all are armed. Be alert!"
He then stepped on the accelerator, and the Jeep raced through the night.
The factory was quite large. Kason circled it in the Jeep until he saw a light, which he drove toward.
"Someone is over there," one of the policemen said, pointing at the light.
Kason turned off the engine of the Jeep, brought out his dagger, and got out of the Jeep. "Let's go check it out."
Where they disembarked was a little far from the illuminated area. The trio cautiously approached.
Kason leaned against a wall before peeking at the illuminated area.
It was quite lively there, with six men busily moving around. In the midst of them, one man stood calmly, observing everything going on. It was none other than Phillip.
"Mr. Scott's men?" Kason whispered, his heart skipping a beat.
