The Bodyguard System

Until today, Lucas had never se this man smiling before. His expression was always indiffert, as if he never cared about anything that was happing a him.

Still, Lucas did not say anything to this person. The one that had assigned this man to him was other than his father. Since that was the case, there had to be a reason why this person was assigned to him as a bodyguard.

So, wh the rest of the group left, only Lucas and this man remained behind. They observed the area for a while, before they finally left. Lucas was heading towards a club, ev though it was currtly daytime.

He was currtly stressed. If they could not deal with Jad, that implied that it was going to be impossible for him to go back home with success. If that happed, things were going to get bad for him. So, no matter what, he had to complete this task as soon as possible.

But of course, right now, since his subordinates had already gone to handle the matter together, he decided to go and relax by joying his time within the club. Currtly, since there was not a large number of people within the club, nobody was going to disturb him.

The man with a cold expression on his face followed behind Lucas without saying anything, before they got into their own vehicle and left.

….

It took them slightly less than an hour to be able to arrive at the hospital. Of course, the hospital that they wt to had to be top notch.

The top notch hospital prest within the city right now was other than The Restoration. Coincidtally, this was the same hospital that the old man that Jad was taking care of currtly, had be transferred to.

So, after Vinct and the others were tak to the emergcy side, where they were being tak care of, Jad decided to go and visit the old man. He was not sure if the surgery had already tak place, but still, he wanted to see the old man.

Scarlet was quite curious about where Jad was going to, and so, she decided to follow him after he had asked her to wait for him as he wt out a little. Jad did not refuse wh Scarlet decided to follow him. In any case, this was going to make things easier for him, considering that he would be able to protect her only if he was together with her.

Lucas wanted to follow, but he decided against it. He was already in the know of who it was that Jad was going to see. Still, he was surprised wh he realized that that old man had be tak to this hospital.

But ev th, he was definitely not happy about the fact that Scarlet seemed to be kind of attached to Jad just after a few days of interaction. This immediately made him to understand that he would have to speed up the progress of the plans that he was having.

Otherwise, if he delayed, who could tell if Scarlet would d up falling in love with Jad? If that happed, th things were going to get bad for him. After all, how was it going to be possible for him to be able to convince Scarlet not to love Jad anymore?

So, not long after the two of them had left, Lucas also excused himself and left the emergcy departmt of the hospital. He decided to go and make a call of his own, to speed up the plans.

Jad and Scarlet did not know about Lucas' plans. The two of them simply headed towards another departmt that was in charge of surgery. He had already be informed in advance where the old man was going to be tak to before the old man was transferred.

Not long after, they finally arrived. Wh they got to that area, Jad asked the one that was in charge of the reception area for this departmt, and he was immediately directed to where he was going to get the old man.

According to the information that he had be giv, Jad understood that the old man had yet to undergo operation. But still, the operation had be arranged to be carried out the following day, on Tuesday.

That was quite a relief. As long as the surgery was successful, Jad believed that the life of the old man would definitely not be in danger anymore, as long as he was able to recover after a while.

Of course, he was not that much surprised by the fact that the surgery had not yet tak place. Before a surgery took place, the doctors would have to carry out a lot of testing. Otherwise, if they did a faulty surgery, it might d up with the death of the patit.

It was good ough that the old man's life was supported by the life supporting machine, and it was not impossible for him to be able to survive until the day of the surgery. So, Jad did not hurry them up, hoping that they would take their time, and carry out the operation successfully.

Standing outside the ICU, Jad looked at the old man on the bed. The old man's complexion was currtly pale. Still, there was blood that was being transfused into the old man. This was due to the fact that the old man had lost a lot of blood previously.

And although he had already received blood transfusion in the hospital that Jad had tak him to before, it seemed that the experts of this hospital thought that it was not ough.

Scarlet on the other hand looked at the old man inside the ICU. Th, she looked at Jad, before looking back at the old man. She was trying to find any kind of resemblance betwe the two of them, but no matter how much she looked, she could not find any kind of resemblance betwe the two of them.

"Is he your grandfather?" Scarlet asked.

Jad was not expecting that question from Scarlet. But ev th, he was able to respond. "Kind of. He is the one that has be taking care of me for quite a long time during my struggles."

"Oh." Scarlet responded simply. She did not know much information about Jad, and so, she did not think much about the implication of Jad's words. But still, she believed that the relationship betwe the two of them was quite close.

Otherwise, it was going to be impossible for Jad to possess that expression on his face as he stood, looking at the old man through the glass. Ev though she was quite curious about how deep the relationship betwe the two of them was, she did not ask.

She remained silt, and stood beside Jad for quite a while. And after about 0 minutes, Jad finally decided to leave the area for now. He would come back if there was a chance tomorrow, so that he could see this old man again during the surgery and after.

As he left in the area, Scarlet left together with him. They wt back to the area where Vinct and the others were being attded to. Wh they got there, the majority of them had already be attded to, and the only one that was remaining was Vinct.

He was still within the room where he was having the injuries that he had suffered being dressed. It would take another 5 minutes or so before he came out. So, Scarlet and Jad joined the rest of the group, with Lucas having already returned, while waiting.

Finally, about 5 minutes later, Lucas came out. But the momt that he appeared, the group could not help but begin snickering, while Lucas and Scarlet laughed out loud. Ev though Jad was trying to hold back, he could not help but smile from time to time.

Well, it was quite comical to look at Vinct. The guy was currtly wearing the helmet of bandages on his head. In fact, ev his mouth had be wrapped in bandages, leaving only the uninjured eye and the nose. The rest of the facial features had all be wrapped in bandages.

Other than that, Vinct's arm was also wrapped in a bandage as if it had be brok. It was being supported. This was another thing that made the group a little speechless. After all, this guy had be driving not long ago, and he was driving using both of his hands. So, how was it that his hand was brok?

Wh Vinct realized that the group was laughing at him, he could not help but glare at them. Still, there was nothing that he could say, as his mouth was currtly sealed.

"Hahaha! I can guess that it is your cousin that wrapped you like that, isn't she?" Scarlet asked as she tried to control her laughter.

Vinct nodded his head. The momt that he did that, Scarlet laughed out ev louder. She understood Vinct's cousin quite well. She was quite overprotective of Vinct. And coincidtally, during the time that Vinct and the others had come over to be treated of the injuries that they had suffered, that cousin was just passing by.

Immediately, she decided to handle Vinct personally. As for why she had decided to wrap Vinct like that with bandages, Scarlet was not sure about it. Still, it was quite funny.

At this momt, the door behind Vinct oped up. Th, a lady wearing the doctor's coat and a stethoscope hanging a her neck walked out.
