Chapter: 362
Gabriel shrieked and shot out of his chair, his face full of horror.
“But it’s true, Mr. Horst had his neck broken, and his corpse is outside as we speak!” The guard cried.
“That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Gabriel spat and frantically shook his head in utter disbelief.
However, when they carried Xavier’s corpse into the room, Gabriel felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, and his face turned pale as a sheet.
“Who?! Who the hell did this?!” Gabriel yelled frantically after reeling from his shock. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he started acting like a rabid beast.
Such senseless violence!
Such madness!
“I–it was done by a guy called Dustin Rhys.” The guard managed to sputter out.
“Dustin Rhys, you fucking dog! How dare you kill my son? I’ll break your body into pieces! I’ll tear you to shreds! “Gabriel roared while gnashing his teeth, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“Pass on the order! Use up all your resources to search the entire city if you must! We must find that bastard at all costs!”
After sending Ruth home, Dustin returned to the Peaceful Medical Center.
However, he couldn’t help but frown the moment he opened the doors to the building. The place looked as if it had been ransacked. It was a mess.
Boxes of medicine were scattered all over the place, and Dahlia, who had been rushing here and there the whole time, had on a face that was drenched in sweat.
“Diarhica, Where did he put the Diarhica? Dahlia mumbled to herself with a prescription in hand.
After looking around for a while, she finally saw a box of Diarhica that had been stored in a medicine cabinet high above the ground. Since it was out of her reach, she could only retrieve it by stepping on a stool.
“What are you doing?” Dustin asked coldly.
Dahlia was startled by his question and lost her balance on the stool, Seeing as she was about to fall to the ground, Dustin instinctively grabbed hold of her before that could happen.
It felt as if he was carrying something precious in his arms, as a nice smell wafted into his nostrils.
After propping her up on her feet, he immediately without a moment of hesitation and let go of her.
“You’re back already?” Dahlia asked as her expression lit up for a brief moment before she quickly snuffed it out.
“Where did you go in the middle of the night? How come you didn’t pick up my calls?”
“I just went out for a bit and didn’t bother checking my phone. What are you doing here?” Dustin answered back with indifference. He assumed that she wasn’t the type to take the initiative to search for him, especially with her arrogant attitude.
“I just so happened to pass by and saw Mr. Jones passed out at the entrance, so I helped him get inside.” Dahlia explained.
“He passed out? What happened?” Dustin asked with a frown.
“I heard that his house had been ransacked by thieves, and after fighting them off, he got severely injured in the process. I think you should head inside to take a look at him,” Dahlia urged.
