Chapter 194: BERSERK
Swiftly, the male nurse removed the blanket the woman used to cover her legs to prevent them from the cold and took the silencer. He brought a nose mask and wore it before he started filling in bullets inside the gun.
When the old woman saw his actions, she tried to pull her lips apart and asked softly, "W-what are you going to do?"
Turning to glare at her, he questioned back, "Didn’t I tell you not to speak?"
The old woman immediately clamped her mouth shut and nodded again. Earlier, she had been with her granddaughter who was taking her out for fresh air before this unknown man attacked them and knocked her granddaughter unconscious. And when she tried to scream for, he threatened her saying he would kill both her and her granddaughter if she ever alarmed anyone of his presence. For the fear of her life and her granddaughter’s, the granny immediately agreed and decided to cooperate.
The male nurse slowly opened the door and cocked his head outside to see if he would find anyone, any bodyguards or something but there was no one. Since it was a VIP hallway, people didn’t regularly pass there which made the hallway turn quiet.
The male nurse turned to find the old granny shedding uncontrollable tears but she didn’t dare to move.
Leaving the room, the male nurse headed towards the room that the granny pointed at while avoiding the cameras as he’d done earlier. He opened the door to the room slowly to prevent any creaking sound and found the place dark. But not dark enough to not see the sleeping figure on the bed.
"Dammit, Ethan Anderson is still alive," the male nurse cursed.
He walked towards the bed and noticed the white bandage that was used to wrap around Ethan’s head. The male nurse reached into his phone and took a picture of Ethan before sending it to his boss.
In a short while, he felt his phone vibrate in his hand and without wasting a second, he picked it up.
"Yes boss," he answered.
On the other side, Adrian gritted his teeth when he saw the picture that one of the men he’d sent to Michael’s hospital sent him. He had his doubts but he never thought that he would ever succeed in completing his mission.
"Boss, should I kill him?" He heard the voice of his lackey.
Adrian didn’t reply immediately. He went back to the photo and studied it properly. From the big bandage on Ethan’s head, he was already guessing that it would take him some time before he completely recovered.
"Not yet," he replied. "Wait some more and gather his medical information first," he added through gritted teeth and hung up on the call
Back inside the hospital room, the male nurse glared at Ethan first before leaving. He was quite surprised that Ethan survived despite being shot in the head since he was one of the men who battled with him that day.
After leaving the room, he concealed his identity and vanished.

Adrian gripped the bottle of whisky he’d been enjoying earlier before he received the bad news tightly as his eyes turned red out of anger.
He raised the glass to his lips and sipped from it before he abruptly threw it at the wall. The glass immediately shattered on the wall due to the impact as pieces fell on the ground.
Erika, who’d been walking around the mansion, trying to create routes for herself, heard the shattering noise of a glass and walked towards the sound.
She reached the living room and found the shattered glass and a fuming Adrian. I’ve never seen him this upset before, she thought to herself.
Felicia, Mary, and Juliet also came out of their rooms due to the sound and witnessed the same thing that Erika had witnessed.
"What’s wrong with you Adrian? Why would you shatter the glass just like that?" Felicia was the one to question him.
As if someone had tapped on his red button, Adrian turned to glare at her which made her take a cowardly step backwards.
"Shut up!!" He yelled and Felicia couldn’t help but flinch. She could tell that Adrian wasn’t in the mood and something must have pissed him off.
Mary and Juliet glanced at each other and without a word, they silently went back into their rooms as if they hadn’t heard any noise in the first place.
Despite the yell directed at her, Felicia turned deaf ears to it and yelled back at him,
"What’s wrong with you?! Don’t you know that you woke up our son with your crazy antics?!"
Without any warning, Adrian raised his hands and smacked Felicia’s cheeks. Erika gasped in shock but also wondered what could have happened that drove Adrian to the extent of hitting Felicia.
"I said SHUT UP!!" he repeated and was about to leave but saw a shadow from behind him. He turned to find Erika staring at him with a surprised look. Staring at her face made his anger surge and without a second thought, he grabbed the whisky bottle and threw it in her direction.
Erika’s eyes bulged out of its sockets when she saw the whisky bottle coming in her direction. Quickly, she moved away from there and the bottle hit the wall and shattered.
Even though Erika moved on time, she wasn’t far away from the bottle and some of its sharp particles pierced her legs.
With her mouth hung wide open in disbelief, she turned to face Adrian who was glaring hard at her, as if wanting to suffocate her before he left.
Felicia, whose hands still hung on her cheeks was happy but also confused as to why Adrain had reacted that way. He didn’t tell what made him angry, he simply went berserk and wanted to harm everyone. She rubbed her cheek that had been slapped mercilessly and felt it sting so she stopped rubbing it. When she’d seen the bottle flying towards Erika, she’d hoped it would land on Erika’s face and scar her also but unfortunately it didn’t. Instead, it injured her legs.
