Chapter 1066 Who Did This?
Chapter 1066 Who Did This?
She had been through something like this before, only that last time she had to endure it alone, feeling
scared, helpless and facing the fear of death.
However, there was someone who could disregard his own life and remain by her side in such a
dangerous moment this time, giving her a spiritual shock.
Her body was hot, and her heart was beating.
Without consulting her, Joan cupped her face and kissed her dry lips.
Amanda's eyes snapped open. And after a brief moment of dismay, she accepted it delightfully. She
gave him a response with the only little strength she had.
The wind blew, and a cluster of flames burned towards them.
Joan blocked the fire with his own body.
Amanda wanted to say no, but her voice could no longer be heard.
Joan's face was right in front of her…
The so-called luck was probably when the one who loved you didn't give up nor abandon you in such
desperate times.
Atwood arrived with his men, put out the fire and saved Amanda and Joan.
Jessica was also taken to the hospital for treatment.
Amanda had no burns on her body, except that her voice was hoarse after choking on the smoke.
The first thing she asked when she opened her eyes was, "Where is Joan?"
The doctor asked, "Is it the man who was brought in with you?"
She nodded.
Her throat was too sore at the moment to speak.
She got up and went to see Joan, who had burns on his back. The doctor said that his injuries were not
life-threatening, just the wounds on his body would take some time to recuperate. And also, there
would be scars on his back if he didn't get a skin implant.
Later she was unconscious and had no idea how she had been rescued. When she visited Jessica,
she saw Atwood sitting in a row chair in the corridor, looking anxious.
She walked over to him.
"Why are you here?"
Atwood looked up and saw it was her, stood up, saying, "I'm sorry."
Amanda narrowed her eyes, "So, did you have something to do with this?"
"No." Atwood immediately denied it. Not only did he not admit it, but he also shifted the blame to Hilary,
"It was all her doing. I accidentally discovered it and so I came to save you guys in time."
He lowered his head sheepishly as he spoke.
How could he dare to admit now that he had something to do with this matter. His plans fell behind
changes. Everything he had hoped for didn't happen at all. He couldn't contact Stanford, nor he could
find out where he had gone.
He had wanted to use this matter to gain favour for Stanford in front of Amanda. However, he had given
that opportunity to the foreigner instead.
When he rushed in with his men to save the others, he saw Joan shielding Amanda from the fire with
his own body to protect her.
He was all shook up at that time.
Now he realized that a mistake had occurred just because he had taken this into his own hands and
hadn't discussed it with Stanford in advance. He blamed himself in his heart for what had happened
now.
"About this…"
"Don't say it." Amanda didn't want to hear anymore. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
She pushed open the door of the ward and went in to see Jessica.
Jessica was old, and there was a silver lining that this incident didn't kill her.
Amanda couldn't take care of herself here, and there was no reliable person around, so she contacted
Joshua.
The next day, Joshua walked in when Amanda was feeding Jessica.
He already knew what was going on and so didn't ask any more questions. He sat at the side and
waited for Amanda.
After a while, Jessica lay down to rest after eating. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Amanda and
Joshua then walked out of the ward to speak in the corridor.
"Grandma can't stay here any longer," Amanda said.
Joshua stood by the window and looked back at her, feeling a bit angry inside, "You're always like this."
Not saying anything and then making a mess of it.
"I have things to take care of before I take her away." Joshua walked away after saying that.
He absolutely couldn't tolerate the one who harmed Amanda and Jessica.
He must find out who did this.
