Frightened by Cindy’s madness, the chauffeur did not dare to say another word and quickly followed Samuel’s car.

Meanwhile, Samuel had his arms around Tina-she was trembling and barely lucid, though she was holding his hand with a vice-grip and didn’t seem to be letting go anytime soon.
“Help me…”
“I don’t want to die…”
“Don’t leave me…”
Samuel was under the impression that Tina had violated their agreement and was intent on punishing her, only to end up foiling an abduction.
Knowing that he had misunderstood her as he stared at her in her miserable state, he quietly said, “It’s alright, Tina. You’re safe now.”
They eventually arrived at the hospital, but Tina still wasn’t letting go.
As such, Samuel stayed patiently at her side as a doctor tended to her injuries, but she was still not letting go even when she was supposed to be changed into patient garb. novelbin
“Stop it, Tina,” Samuel said coolly.
Tina couldn’t hear him clearly, however, and kept repeating, “Don’t leave me…”
“You little
!”
The doctor intervened then. “Mr. Langford, your girlfriend has a high fever and can’t hear you. Why don’t you turn around instead? The sedative will take effect soon, and everything will be fine after she falls asleep.”
Though Samuel felt like his patience had been tested repeatedly, he decided that he shouldn’t b. e mean towards a patient and turned around like he was told.
Tina lay on her sickbed, curling into a ball out of insecurity even though she had fallen asleep from the sedative.
Soon, Sandy appeared outside the ward.
Stepping out to meet him, Samuel asked coolly, “What did you find out?”
“Those men had abducted Miss Lynd and brought her to the hotel,” Sandy reported. “Mr. Wallace had killed many young women with the same method…”
“And there’s a recording left in the room…”
Samuel watched the entire video, and saw that Tina was unyielding even in the face of death, while rage and despair filled her eyes.
If he hadn’t rushed to the scene in time, that animal would have killed her.
It seems that he had misblamed her…
“Are those people dealt with?” Samuel asked then.
“Yes, sir. I’ve entrusted them to the higher-ups.”
Samuel chuckled coolly. “Those people deserve to be hanged, drawn, and quartered.”
While he spoke, Cindy appeared in the corridor, crying out anxiously, “Sam!”
She threw herself into Samuel’s arms, giving him a tight hug. “Did something happen? You left so quickly without saying a word… Are you alright?”
Cindy appeared anxious and on the verge of tears, and it was only then that Samuel remembered that he had left Cindy in the heat of the moment. She appeared to care so much for him just then that he did not push her away in disgust.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” he said flatly.
“That’s great!” Cindy acted as if she was unaware of what had happened to Tina, and looked at him tearfully as she continued, “Are we still going to place, Sam?”
Samuel frowned in slight hesitation.
That was when he got a call from Mama Langford, who had received word that Samuel had left halfway when he was supposed to head to Cindy’s place, her words dripping with accusation.
“You’re out of line, Samuel! How could you just leave Cindy halfway through? I heard about that woman, too-are you actually worried that the doctor would let her die? Try to understand that Cindy is more important…”
“Is that your mother, Sam?” Cindy asked then. “It’s alright, I know you’re busy-I’m fine as long as I know that you’re in good health, and I won’t try to hurt the feelings between you and your mother… As for
anything else, I won’t ask for more.”
With those words, she made to leave, but Samuel caught her. “Fine. I’ll go with you.” “Great!” Cindy appeared delighted as she linked arms with Samuel, and threw a smug glance a t the ward.
‘So what if you almost ruined my plans halfway through, Tina Lynd?’ As long as Samuel goes home with her, her plan to become Mrs. Langford shall succeed!
