After some time, Stella received a call from Emmett.
Emmett said, “Stella, Daniel has escaped from the hospital. Did he go to look for Sherry?”
Stella turned her head and glanced at the person beside her. She didn’t know whether he had fainted or he was asleep. She lowered her voice, “I am now bringing him to the hospital. We're on the way.”
Emmett, who was on the other side of the phone, let out a sigh of relief, “Sorry for the inconvenience. I will wait for the two of you at the door.”
“Okay.”
After twenty minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
Emmett quickly walked forward and pulled the door open. The doctors and nurses, who were waiting at the side, hurriedly followed him and carried Daniel out of the car. They ran as they pushed him into the hospital.
Stella got out of the car. When she saw the scene, she couldn’t help but to frown.
It seemed that Daniel’s injuries were more serious than she had expected.
Emmett took a few steps forward and realized that Stella was still there. He turned back and walked towards Stella, “Stella, thank you.”
Stella shook her head, “It is fine. I…”
She initially wanted to ask Emmett what was going on, but she was quite worried about Daniel. She said, “Let’s go in and take a look at the situation first.”
When they went in, Daniel had already been sent to the emergency room.
While they stood in the corridor, Emmett spoke first, “We found him yesterday. He was badly injured. Today, I left the hospital to deal with something. When I returned, he was already gone. I thought that there was a great possibility that he went to look for Sherry.”
Stella nodded gently, “Yes.”
“Then, Sherry…”
Stella said, “When Daniel came, she was with her boyfriend.”
After Emmett listened to her, he already knew what had happened. Stella didn’t even need to explain it.
He sighed silently, “Daniel once had a very good friend. His name is Alfie. A few years ago, when they were racing, the brakes of Alfie’s car malfunctioned and his car plunged into a valley. Daniel brought people to search the valley for three days and three nights. Finally, they found Alfie's body.”
“Alfie has an older sister. Her name is Amanda. She loved her little brother very much. After Alfie died, she always felt that his death was caused by Daniel and held a grudge against him. After Daniel had been involved in that accident, Amanda received the news about him. Then, she kept on looking for clues and tracked his whereabouts.
“Amanda was a medical student. After she graduated, she didn’t work in a hospital. Instead, she wandered around various underground locations where there were all sorts of people. She had lots of connections and thus received a great deal of information. After Daniel escaped and was free from Lyndon’s control, he met Amanda.”
Stella had the same experience.
The situation was similar to the time when she asked Adolph Miller to help her to search for Jeffrey Radomil.
They had the same purpose.
Emmett continued to speak, “While Amanda was treating Daniel’s old injuries, she injected sedatives into him every day and continuously hurt him, leaving new wounds on him. She repeatedly tortured him day after day.” Emmett said, “However, it was fortunate that we had the chance to save Daniel because of this. Otherwise…”
His words sent a chill down her spine.
She asked, “Then, where is Amanda now?”
“When we brought Daniel to the hospital, she escaped.”
“Does she also have a lot of friends…in City N?”
Emmett said, “Even if she has friends in City N, it shouldn't be a lot. Moreover, the fact that she successfully hid Daniel under our noses for such a long time proves that someone is helping her in City N.”
Stella opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Stella was afraid the two of them would fight after she went and answered the phone.
It was a good thing that Emmett probably couldn’t stay there any longer. He said to Stella, “Stella, I will return to the company first. If Daniel wakes up, please let me know.”
Stella agreed, “Okay.”
Soon, Emmett left hurriedly.
After he left, Stella answered the phone, “Sherry.”
Sherry, who was on the other side of the phone, asked, “Stella, how is the situation…at your side?”
Stella turned around and took a look at the situation. She said softly, “Daniel is still in the emergency room.”
She paused for a while and said, “How is the situation at your side?”
Sherry said, “I have just sent Brandon away. Although he didn’t say anything, I feel that…”
Sherry was stressed out. She didn’t know how to explain the situation.
Stella said, “Don’t be anxious. You should calm down first. If there are any matters, we will talk about them tomorrow.”
Sherry was silent for a few seconds and said, “Then, what has happened to…him?”
Stella relayed the things that Emmett had told her to Sherry.
Of course, she didn’t tell Sherry about Emmett’s speculation.
After a long time, Sherry said, “Stella, send me the address of the hospital.”
