Chapter 547 I WANT TO SEE THE INTEROGATION
Ramon had provided maximum security around the hospital to ensure no such incident would occur again, while Jayden had ordered an investigation into this case.
Three people died in last night's incident. One man was whom Apple killed with her knife, one man was whom Jayden managed to kill in his unequal fight against three men and another was Apple assailant, whom he brutally killed using a gun that Jayden found when he saw the man nearly kill Apple by strangling her.
Jayden didn't know what he was thinking when he fired five bullets in a row at the man, but for sure, there was only one thing he wanted at that moment, and that was to see the man who had hurt Apple die.
And as a result, the five bullets he shot blindly in the assailant's head, made his face unrecognizable. It was a gruesome sight, but Jayden felt it wasn't enough.
Meanwhile, the other two men managed to be taken away by Jayden's men before the police arrived. He didn't want the cops to interrogate them, because he had his own methods to interrogate someone.
And the fact that Theodore Gevano managed to change his status as the suspect to the witness in the human trafficking case that was inflicted on him left Jayden skeptical.
If indeed this had to be handled in this way, then Jayden would be more than welcome to handle this matter the way they wanted.
"So?" Those were the first words Ramon uttered after Jayden had finished a cigarette.
It was a habit of Jayden's that he still couldn't break when he felt he needed time to think or was under pressure.
"Theodore Gevano," Jayden said, as if they had had a long conversation and Ramon immediately understood what his son meant.
"You have proof?" Ramon asked as he looked at Jayden who had lit his second cigarette, while he had long since given up smoking because Hailee didn't like it, ever since she got pregnant with their first child.
"No," Jayden answered, but his eyes reflected the flames on the end of his cigarette. "At least not yet," he said coldly.
And after that, they talked about a few things until the morning sun shone on the horizon and when they finally got back into the room, they found Hailee had fallen asleep beside Apple's bed.
"I'll take your mother home," Ramon said quietly and then approached Hailee to take her away, but Hailee woke up and looked at him with furrowed brows.
"How about Apple?" she asked in a still sleepy voice.
"She's fine, let Jayden take care of her," Ramon said as he helped Hailee to her feet. "We can go home now."
At first, Hailee did not agree, she wanted to be there for her son and daughter-in-law, but when Ramon insisted, Jayden asked her to just rest at home, so in the end, Hailee complied and left with Ramon.
Now, Jayden was alone with Apple and every time he saw the wounds on her body and the bruises she had, it made his anger feel like it was eating him alive.
These wounds as well as the fact that Apple was lying as weak and helpless in a hospital bed as she was now were proof that he had failed to protect her.
He was too arrogant to think that they could handle anything.
What if help doesn't come? What if he doesn't show up in time to help Apple and the guy killed her?
Jayden shook his head. He could feel the nerves in his body tighten just imagining it.
=========================
The first thing Apple felt when she opened her eyes was the pain in her neck and legs. Once the painkillers wore off and he gained full consciousness, she began to feel the pain again.
Her dry throat made her feel uncomfortable, as well as her body which felt very difficult to move.
However, after looking around for a moment, Apple realized where she was and what had happened last night.
"Jayden?" Jayden was the first person that came to mind when she woke up and tried to look around her, but the cast around her neck was limiting her movements.
When Apple called Jayden, she wasn't sure if the man was there and heard how quiet the room was. Apple thought she was alone, but in the next second, Apple heard noises and hurried footsteps and Jayden's face appeared before her.
"Apple, are you all right?" he asked. "How do you feel?" Jayden immediately pressed the button to call the doctor, informing them that Apple was awake.
"How is my father?" Apple asked immediately without answering Jayden's question first. She was worried about her father's condition.
The last time she saw him, her father was still alive, but time was critical for him with blood running out of her head while she and Jayden had to deal with those bastards.
"Pyro is fine, he's still in intensive care, but he'll be fine," Jayden reassured Apple and then kissed her forehead. He could see the scratches on her face had started to heal and the bruises on her skin had started to fade. "Get some rest, the doctor will come to check on you shortly," Jayden said softly.
Apple nodded weakly. "You know who did this?" Apple asked again, her voice hoarse and Jayden fetched her a glass of water, to moisten her throat.
"Theodore Gevano," Jayden replied, helping Apple to drink so she wouldn't choke.
"You have the proof?" Apple asked after she had finished half the glass of water.
"I'm still gathering the evidence." Jayden already had the evidence, but it was still weak and he needed more than that to destroy Theodore Gevano.
"What about the five men who attacked us?"
"I got two of them and took them into custody before the police came and were interrogating them both."
Hearing that answer, Apple's eyes lit up even brighter, she then said coldly. "I want to take part in the interrogation."
And their conversation was cut off when the doctor and some nurses came.
