Chapter 514

James was instantly shocked by Ken’s words.

However, on the other end of the phone, Sebastian’s tone became even crazier. “Crippling your right arm? Save it! Sid is naive and deceived by you. You can’t deceive me. If something happens to him, I’ll take your life.”

Ken did not answer and only gave the hospital’s address.

As soon as he said the address, Sebastian hung up the phone. ‘He must have left directly to come over, Ken thought.

James asked carefully, “Mr. Swanson. If something happens to Mr. Quant, are you going to cripple your right arm for real?”

“A gentleman never goes back on his word,” Ken said. “But-“

At this moment, a nurse rushed over.

However, when she saw the extraordinarily handsome Ken, she suddenly stopped. Her eyes lit up, and she forgot why she was there.

It was only when James reminded her that the young nurse returned to her senses and said, “Is the patient in Ward 1101 your friend?’ She’s awake.”

James immediately turned to Ken and asked, “Miss Murphy is awake. Do you want to go over and take a look?”

“Okay.” Ken nodded and walked toward Ward 1101.

While they carried out the mission, they turned off all the surveillance cameras at the airport to prevent the Blevins family from checking the surveillance footage after Averi went missing.

Therefore, no one else knew what had happened other than the witnesses. And Janet might very well be the only witness.

Ken couldn’t help but quicken his pace and walk toward the elevator.

After entering the elevator, James could not help but say,” Mr. Swanson, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.” Ken gave James a look that said, “Just say it.”

James carefully recounted what Sid had told him to Ken. Then, he observed Ken’s expression and asked, “Do you think Mr. Quant was injured because…”

“Shut up,” Ken said.

“Okay.” James immediately lowered his head and said, “I shouldn’t have speculated about Miss Murphy. Please punish me.”

However, after James finished speaking, Ken remained silent.

His gaze was fixed on the display screen on the elevator, but it didn’t seem to be there at all.

James felt puzzled. ‘It’s hard to guess what Mr. Swanson is thinking. I’ve been with Mr. Swanson for so many years,

but even today, I can’t read his mind.’ He couldn’t judge from Ken’s reaction whether he trusted Janet or suspected her.

Before James could look at Ken’s expression carefully, the elevator had already reached the eleventh floor.

Ken strode out of the elevator and went to Ward 1101. Just as they reached the door, they heard Janet arguing with the medical staff.

“Don’t stop me. I’m going to see how my friend is,” said Janet.

“Miss, just chill. You just woke up from a concussion. If you’re agitated, you’ll easily faint again. We’ll help you ask your friend about the situation. Lie down and rest first,” the nurse persuaded.

“Rest? If your friend’s life is in danger, can you rest? Get lost! Don’t stop me.”

“But… Miss…”

Ken stepped through the door. “Janet.”

Janet stopped pushing the nurse and looked up at Ken and James. They were walking toward her.

She ran out of bed the next second and grabbed Ken’s hand. “How is Sid? Is he alright now?”

Ken pursed his lips and did not reply.

Janet’s eyes darkened. She looked at James and said, ” James, just tell me.”

James lowered his head and said, “Miss Fox is operating on Mr. Quant in the emergency room. We don’t know the details, but they said the situation is dangerous.”

Janet’s legs went weak. She sat on the ground dejectedly and muttered to herself, “It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault…” “James.” Ken glanced at James.

James immediately understood and went forward to pull Janet up from the ground. “Miss Murphy, you’re injured too. Go and sit on the bed first.”

Janet shook her head. Tears flowed down her face as she said, “You guys don’t know. Sid was injured to save me.”

Ken frowned and asked James to help Janet to the bed while he gestured for the nurse to leave first.

After the nurse closed the door and left, Ken asked, “Janet, calm down and tell me slowly. What exactly happened?” “That’s right,” James also asked anxiously, “Didn’t I tell you to run west? Why did you go east?”

Janet lowered her eyes and said in a self-reproaching tone, I was going to run west, but I saw two people staring at me from the west. I was sure those two people were not our men, so I subconsciously ran in the opposite direction.

I thought the mission was to get the portrait anyway. And at that time, I thought as long as I could get it, it didn’t matter where I ran. So I took the little girl to the bathroom on the west side. But after I got the painting and told the young lady to leave, I was about to walk out of the bathroom when the two men staring at me appeared at the door.

“They had knives in their hands. I had to give them the painting first. However, they wanted to silence me after they took the painting away. Fortunately, Sid appeared in time and fought with those two people. Later on, you also knew that he was stabbed three times and fell to the

ground. I wanted to avenge Sid, but I was no match for them. They knocked me out. I don’t know what happened after that.”

Ken said calmly, “You said that they wanted to silence you, but you only have blunt weapon injuries on you.”

Janet’s eyelids twitched as she asked in disbelief, “Ken, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting me?”

Ken shook his head. “I don’t mean that. I only want to restore the scene.

“I don’t know why they didn’t kill me…” Janet shook her head and said in despair, “I would rather be the one who was stabbed. If something happens to Sid, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. But I think it was because someone happened to pass by the bathroom door. They didn’t want to be discovered, so they ran away.”

Ken was silent for two seconds before saying, “Rest well first. Don’t worry about anything else. Sid has Melody. On the other hand, if your concussion becomes serious, your life will be in danger.”

Janet nodded with an uncomfortable expression. She bit her lower lip hard and said, “Alright, I’ll rest well and not cause trouble for you. But you must tell me immediately after Sid’s surgery is successful.”

“Okay.” Ken nodded and turned to leave.

They walked out of the ward. After James closed the door, he asked in a low voice, “Mr. Swanson, do you need me to check if the two people Miss Murphy said watching her existed at the airport?”

As James spoke, he was afraid Ken would blame him. He added, “I’m not suspecting Miss Murphy. But if we check the surveillance cameras, we might catch those guys who attacked Sid.”

“Didn’t you turn off the airport surveillance cameras?”

“But we installed our surveillance cameras nearby to monitor Averi’s family’s every move.”

Ken was silent for two seconds. His voice was so faint that there was no emotion. “Then go and check it.”

“Okay.” James nodded.

However, something happened.
