Chapter 503 âAlright,â Maeve agreed.
She directed the security team to transfer Sergio Into Lyraâs waiting car outside the gate.
At the hospital, doctors swiftly began emergency treatment on Sergia.
Lyra sat beside Maeve in the corridor, offering reassurance. âEverything will be fine. The doctor said itâs not lifeâthreateningâ
âBut excessive bleeding could still be fatal.â Marve rubbed her forehead and inquired, âWhereâs Charlie?â
âHe.. He had something to attend to,â Lyra replied.
âTo see Zion, knât it?â Maeve asked.
They knew it well that the intruder at Brooks Estate today was none other than Zion. His reckless actions seemed impulsive, and while the stab wound hadnât been fatal, the situation was precarious, âWho is the family member of Sergio Brooks?â a doctor emerged from the operating room, questioning. âWe need someone to sign the admission papers.â
âIâll take care of it.â Maeve stepped forward to sign the necessary documents and asked, âWhen will be regain consciousness?
The doctor explained, âThe anesthesia hasnât completely worn off. It may be late tonightâ
âAlright, Iâll stay with him in the meantime.ââ
âMavy!â Lyra looked at Maeve, her expression filled with concern.
Taming to face her, Marve spoke firmly, âLet Charlie handle Zion. Iâll return once Sergioâs condition stabilizes.â
âBut..â Lyra hesitated.
They knew Zionâs temperament very well. His brazen intrusion at Brooks Estate spole volumes about his anger. This wouldnât be smoothed over easily, even with Charlie and Zionâs longâstanding relationship.
âWhen you return and meer Charlie, let him know that Zionâs impulsive actions could leave behind a trail of evidence. He must handle it. It wonât end well for Zion If the police get Involvedâ
Lyta nodded in agreement. âOkay, Iâll talk to him as soon as I return.â
Maeve fell silent.
Just then, Sergio, who had been in the operating theater, was sent to the ward.
When Larry hurried over, he found Maeve keeping watch by Sergioâs side. âMs. Scott. â
Marve interjected, âLarry, did you see the robberâs face?â
âNo,â Larry replied with a shake of his head. The Brooks family had accumulated numerous adversaries, but this was the first breach of their estate.
Marve glanced at Larry, her expression questioning. âWhy didnât you call the police immediately?â
In such a critical situation, Larryâs typically sharp instincts would have prompted him to alert the authorities immediately. Yet, neither the police had arrived nor responded to his attempts to contact them She had prevented Lyra and Charlie from calling the police because she knew Zion was behind it, but the Brooks family could never know the intruderâs identity.
Larry responded, âMr. Brooks instructed me not to. I simply follow his orders.â
He appeared perplexed, unaware of Sergioâs intentions, Marve furrowed her brows, a faint chuckle escaping her lips. It was just as she had suspected.
âyou stay here and keep an eye on Mr. Brooks. Iâll leave for now.
Lery burriedly questioned, âMs. Scott, arenât you going to stay with Mr. Brooks?â
