Capítulo 1611: Chapter 1611: You Are So Cowardly and Incompetent
Registration, finding a doctor, setting up an IV drip, feeding medicine… he didn’t leave her side for a moment.
In the hospital room, he closed the windows tightly and turned on the heater.
Lilac Serval was still drunk, lying on the bed in a daze, motionless, her cheeks flushed red.
It was late at night.
Charles Mcintosh sat at the bedside covering her with a blanket, silently watching her face.
Until his phone rang.
It was that boy called Little Eleven.
Charles stood up, walked to the smoking room, and after lighting a cigarette, he leisurely answered the call.
“Mr. Mcintosh, did you find Sister Lilac? I’m still at her apartment, she didn’t come back, and the rain outside is so heavy, she didn’t take her phone…”
Charles took a drag on his cigarette, smoke shrouding half of his face: “She was with you tonight?”
“Yes, she’s been with me the whole time.”
“You took her to the bar drinking?”
“No… yes…” Little Eleven became somewhat tongue-tied. In the presence of Charles’ aura, he really had no confidence. He could still remember the cold look in this man’s eyes, “I didn’t take good care of Sister Lilac, it’s my fault. But Sister Lilac doesn’t often go to bars, she only went because she’s flying to Lonton today anyway…”
“She’s going to Lonton?”
“Yes, she’s leaving. She said there’s nothing left for her in Landon, so she’s returning to Lonton.”
The more he spoke, the lower Little Eleven’s voice became.
Even through the phone, he could feel Charles’ oppressive aura.
Charles took a deep drag on his cigarette, she was going back to Lonton, and besides this Little Eleven, no one else knew.
“Mr. Mcintosh, I took Sister Lilac back to her apartment after she got drunk. I really didn’t expect her to go out again; if I had known, I would have stayed to look after her.” Little Eleven was very anxious, “Mr. Mcintosh, have you found her? It’s already past three in the morning…”
“Jachary, what did I say before? Hmm? As a man, you have to have a sense of responsibility, you have to be able to protect the women around you. And you? How the hell did you take care of her? You’re so weak and incompetent, why are you even pursuing her? Don’t think that just because a man looks good, is tall, and can act cute and spoiled, that it’s enough. If you can’t even protect a woman, you’re just waste!” Charles was almost merciless, his eyes glinting with icy coldness.
His gaze, his tone, were colder than the rain outside the window.
He was truly furious.
The image of Lilac lying in the rain kept flashing in his mind, her hand bleeding, ankle twisted, motionless as the rain poured down.
On the other end, Little Eleven lowered his head, shame written in his eyes.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Mcintosh, I didn’t take care of Sister Lilac properly, I’m sorry… Mr. Mcintosh, can you give me some time? I will make myself better, become capable of taking care of her…”
“Time? How old are you? A man over twenty, and you still need time? I have no patience for incompetent, weak people!” Charles was dismissive.
At twenty, he was already following Sylvan Cheney, conquering territories.
And this twenty-year-old boy couldn’t even take care of a woman.
“Mr. Mcintosh…” Little Eleven couldn’t say another word.
He admitted that Charles was not wrong.
He really didn’t take care of Lilac, knowing she was drunk and still leaving her alone in the apartment.
In fact, he just didn’t want her to get into trouble.
