It'll Come Naturally

When they arrived at the hospital, Tom had just finished one surgery. After he heard what had happened today, he was also inexplicably shocked. Fear was written on his face. He merely thought that the people from the Ke family were too overbearing. He never thought that they would be this ruthless to even dare

do such kind of thing. These people had no morals.

"The left elbow has a tendency to fracture, so I have to have the nurse bandage it. You will not be able to use it for a while." Tom's assessment of Annie's condition wasn't as serious as they had thought. There were no signs of internal bleeding nor any concussions. In addition to the hurt in the left hand, there was no massive injuries like they feared she would have. Considering that they were aiming for her to be no less than dead, it was a miracle that she was able to walk away with just a few cuts and bruises. "Well! Thank you very much!" Annie smiled lightly. She really cherished such a new lease in life after such a near-death disaster. And all this was owing to Rain's foresight. If he did not ask people to secretly follow and protect her, she might have been dead today.

The nurse was very gentle and caring as she applied the bandage around Annie's cuts. After completing a few other procedures to make sure that Annie was comfortable, she smiled and went out.

"You'd better pay more attention to this in the future. It's really horrible." From their narration, Tom imagined such a breathtaking scene comparable to the special effects action sequences in Hollywood blockbuster movies.

"I hear you and yes I agree 100%! They almost got us once. Do we still not know how to protect ourselves against them? They need to be stopped!" Rain was glad that he had thought of this in advance. If not, he could have lost his wife today. Then he would not really know how to go on in this life without her.

"That was close. You might not be so lucky next time if they decide to come at you again. And next time they will leave nothing to chance and make sure that they succeed. For now, you'd better take her home and have a good rest. I'm sure that she was pretty scared today." It was not difficult to tell from Annie's heightened pulse rate that her mind was still lingering in that horrible moment. She might be having the same flashback over and over again and she could not help it. It might be necessary for Rain to seek the help of a psychiatrist and start some sort of therapy, so as not to cause any permanent mental and emotional damage.

"Well! OK then. We will bid our goodbye. Thank you so much for your help." Rain knew that Tom was busy being the head of a large hospital. So he did not stay a minute longer unnecessarily to bother him.

"Remember to change the dressing regularly." Tom said as he was not confident that they'd remember it all so he called out to remind them. The wedding date was just around the corner and it was not good to let the bride walk down the aisle wrapped in gauze. "I know. How could I forget?" The wedding was supposed to be held two whole weeks from now. He just hoped that Annie would be completely okay by that time.

"Don't blame me. I am just worried that with everything that happened today, you might forget it." Tom was speechless and he rolled his eyes. Was it wrong to care so much and keep reminding them?

Rain just ignored him. He led Annie out the lobby and soon left the hospital. After they left, Tom made a phone call to Edward.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

So for a while, the news that Annie almost got hit by a car spread like wildfire within their circles. Everyone thought that it was a conspiracy orchestrated by none other than the Ke family. Annie had just come to S city, and it was utterly impossible that she had made enemies so fast.

"It looks like they still want to kill her. So what you're going to do next?" Edward played with his chin, looking thoughtfully at Rain.

"It's time to have some changes in the company." Rain said with sinister smile. He originally did not want to make a major revamp of the company organizational structure at such an early time. He just thought it would be okay to let them stay in the company for a while. But now it seemed that there was no need for him to be kind to them. The cunning and sly foxes had begun to bite the hand that had been feeding them.

"Make sure to make swift decisive actions! Only by cutting their income at the source will there be no money for them to pay for thugs and henchmen to do the dirty work for them." In Edward's opinion, Rain was too kind to the Ke family. If it were he who had to deal with that kind of thing, he would fire them all as soon as he took over the company. So they would know that who was the real boss.

"Well, I will certainly do that. But I am afraid that they will retaliate and do something unexpected. So in terms of the safety of my wife and my two children, could you ask Uncle Jonathan to pay more attention to it and improve security?" Rain was never worried about himself. All he wanted was for his loved ones to be safe and happy. So now that Annie was hurt, he planned to stand up and make sure that it never happened again.

"I'll ask him to double the people protecting them and make sure he does it as soon as possible." Edward had experienced that kind of feeling that his family was in danger. So he could totally relate to what Rain was worried about.

"Thank you, Edward. I don't know how could I express my thanks to you. Just thank you." Rain was at a loss for words, but Edward was his brother. He knew he would help him at this time.

"You don't need to say thanks to me. We are good brothers. But don't just focus on the safety of your wife and children. There is a good chance that their next target would be you." Edward thought that there was indeed such a kind of possibility. Failing to completely hurt Annie, they would guess she was sure to take extra precautions from here on and it would be hard for them to even get close to Annie. Furthermore, Rain would certainly strengthen security around her, perhaps add more bodyguards. So it would be easier for them to approach Rain.

"Thanks, I will also pay attention to this, so rest assured! I also want to live long enough to grow old together with my wife." Rain said firmly. In order to secure a peaceful life in the future and for him to give his family a safe and harmonious environment, he must do something about it.

"I wish you the best of luck." For the first time, Edward talked sincerely with him. He was always a joker around Rain and never took him seriously. But in crucial times when there was a matter of life and death, he had reserved his gentlemanly character for such an occasion.

"Thank you!" Rain winked at him.

In the following days, Rain took a series of personnel adjustments in KD Group. The key personnel from the Ke family were all dismissed with different reasons. For a period of time, the whole company had become stirred up and muddled because of these drastic changes.
