Once the car came to a stop, Matthew dashed toward the emergency room with Veronica in his arms. After several checkups, Skyler approached Matthew and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Roni is a lucky woman. She'll be fine."
Matthew did not reply and stood silently on the side, whereas Skyler sat on the bench and waited. Then, he suddenly thought of Shirley and called someone from One Piece Restaurant. When the call went through, he immediately inquired, "Dean, where's Shirley? Why isn't she picking up my calls?"
"Uhm… She…" The person on the other end stammered, his tone sounding off.
Shooting up from his seat, Skyler exclaimed, "What happened? Did something happen to her?" His heart raced, and his eyelids kept twitching as he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
"She's injured."
"Injured? Is it serious? Where is she now? How did she get hurt?" At that point, it felt like his heart was in his throat, causing his panic to surge till his breathing became difficult.
"It's… quite serious. S-She's at the East Street Hospital."
Since the East Street Hospital was near One Piece Restaurant, Shirley was immediately admitted there after the accident.
"East Street Hospital?" Skyler was pondering where that hospital was until he realized he was there. "I'm right here. Which floor?"
"Block C, room 407."
"I asked a f*cking question!" roared Skyler as he grabbed Dean's collar.
He pinned Dean to the wall, causing the man to hit his head. Feeling terrified, Dean stammered his reply, "It was Crayson. While he was escaping, Shirley tried to stop him, but the dagger in his hand slashed across her face, almost a… a four-inch gash. She was heavily injured, and the doctor said… said… said she… is disfigured."
When they charged into the room at One Piece Restaurant, they saw that Shirley was already wounded, so they could not see what Crayson had used against her. Therefore, the dagger was merely a guess.
Skyler frowned and released Dean's collar before stumbling back. "Disfigured?" He turned to look at the young woman on the bed, and the scene of her pure and adorable appearance appeared in his mind as he wondered, She's such a good-looking lady. How can she be disfigured?
"Where's the doctor? Get the doctor over here now!" he ordered.
