Chapter 67: The Perfect Man
“Take her away! If she’s in my hands, I’m sure David will come to me,” Wilbur commanded. With that, his subordinates took Yasmin away and drove off.
“Yasmin, Yasmin...”
“Yas, Yas...”
Both Frida and Zeke called out to her continuously as the car drove off. On the contrary, Josephine was completely stunned by what had happened.
Right then, her phone rang. It was David.
There was no signal on the mountain, so he didn’t receive any notifications on his phone.
When he was driving back to Yeringham, notifications about Josephine’s missed calls popped up on his screen, and he quickly called her back to prevent her from worrying about him.
“Josephine, y-your phone’s ringing!” Frida called out to Josephine and gently nudged her.
With that, Josephine recovered from the shock and took her phone out. Her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face when she saw that it was David.
“David, where are you? Yasmin’s been kidnapped, and Tommy’s hurt. He’s bleeding so much...” she cried as soon as she picked up the phone.
David was dumbfounded when he heard that. The next moment, a murderous aura radiated from his body, and his expression darkened.
“Wait for me. I’ll head over there right now,” he replied before hanging up.
He knew that there was nothing he could do to help Tommy and the others until he got there, so he stepped on the gas as he rushed to Yeringham.
Meanwhile, Josephine and the others didn’t know what to do to help Tommy in the face of the blood everywhere.
“W-We should call for an ambulance, or else he may die!” Josephine said softly out of fear.
“I’ll make an emergency call now!” Zeke blurted while nodding as he was about to call for an ambulance.
Tommy raised his hand weakly to stop Zeke.
“N-No ... Don’t ... I’ll wait for Mr. Chance. I’ll be fine after he heals me,” Tommy choked out through the pain.
Although he was badly hurt, he was still conscious.
He knew that if he were sent to the hospital, the doctors there would definitely cut him open. That was what he didn’t want to happen because his energy would be damaged by that. He believed that David could save him without being operated on.
“Him? David’s a medical practitioner too?” Frida asked in shock.
“Yeah. When my dad almost died last time, he was the one who saved my dad’s life. That was when I met him,” Josephine explained.
“T-That’s amazing...” Frida couldn’t believe that a perfect guy like that still existed.
‘Rich, good at fighting, practices medicine, good-looking, and loyal! Oh my gosh! He’s perfect! Opportunities like this are rare to come by, yet Josephine found him!’ At that moment, she envied Josephine even more.
Since Tommy didn’t need to go to the hospital anymore, Zeke found a few people to help carry him back to their hotel to wait for David.
A car screeched to a stop outside the hotel more than half an hour later. Not long after, David burst into the room.
“David, you’re finally back!” Zeke exclaimed as he walked up to David.
“Where’s Josephine?” David asked anxiously.
“Josephine’s okay. She’s in her room with Frida. Please take a look at Tommy! He’s dying!” Zeke urged as he pulled David into Tommy’s room.
As soon as he entered the room, David saw Tommy lying on the bed. Tommy’s face was drained of color, his chest looked irregular, and there were bloodstains all over his body.
Tommy opened his eyes slightly when he heard footsteps. When he saw David, he tried to get up but couldn’t.
“Don’t move. Let me take a look,” David said as he quickly walked up to Tommy and put a hand on Tommy’s shoulder. Meanwhile, his other hand gently scanned over Tommy’s chest.
At that moment, David had a terrifying expression on his face.
“Mr. Chance, I’m so sorry. I failed to protect Ms. Sullivan from that f-frightening experience!” Tommy apologized guiltily.
“It’s all right. You should stop talking for now. Your opponent was very strong. You’re not a match for him.”
David could deduce how strong Wilbur was through Tommy’s wounds. It looked fatal, but it wasn’t. Regardless, it would take a long time to recover from it. It was obvious that Wilbur didn’t want to kill Tommy. Instead, he wanted Tommy to suffer.
After that, David moved his palm over Tommy’s chest and channeled some spiritual energy into the latter’s body. At that moment, a wave of warmth washed over Tommy’s body as if he was soaking in a hot spring. In a matter of seconds, he couldn’t feel the pain anymore.
Tommy’s broken ribs healed themselves with the help of David’s spiritual energy. His chest completely recovered to how it used to be in an instant.
Once it was done, David retracted his hand, and beads of sweat formed on top of his forehead. It was because he used up a massive amount of spiritual energy to heal Tommy’s wounds. If he hadn’t taken his energy condensing pill and attained Level Nine, he might not be able to heal Tommy in just one treatment.
“I’m done. You can get up now,” David said while letting out a long breath. He walked to a nearby chair and sat down to catch his breath.
Tommy got up and sat on his bed as soon as he heard what David said. He was surprised to see that aside from the scratches on the surface of his skin with some blood oozing out from the wounds, he was almost completely healed.
“Thank you, Mr. Chance!” Tommy thanked David as he looked at the latter.
“Your body still needs to recuperate from the wounds, so don’t get into a fight for now. I’ll make a pill for you shortly. Once you take it, your body will be fine.”
“All right!” Tommy nodded.
At that moment, Zeke gawked with his mouth wide open at what he had just seen. ‘How did a wound that serious recover in such a short time? Is that an immortal technique? Could it be that David is an immortal?’
David was completely oblivious to what Zeke was thinking. He asked Tommy, “What exactly happened? Tell me everything!”
With that, Tommy told David everything that had happened. When David heard that the Whitaker family sent their people, he clenched his fists tightly, and his expression darkened in response.
“David, you’re back?” Josephine asked as she and Frida walked out of their room after hearing some noise in Tommy’s room.
David walked up to Josephine straight away and hugged her when he saw how pale she looked.
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault that you had to go through that because of me. I promised you that I wouldn’t let you get hurt, and I’d always protect you, but I—”
Josephine covered his mouth to shush him up immediately.
“I’m fine. Don’t blame yourself. I’m really okay. B-But ... But Yasmin...”
“I know. Tommy told me earlier. I’ll save her for sure!” David promised her with a determined expression while holding her hand.
“But ... But won’t you be in danger?” she asked.
At that moment, she was at war with herself. A part of her wanted him to go and save Yasmin, but another part of her didn’t want him to get into danger.
“Don’t worry! Nobody can kill me!” David reassured Josephine with a smile.
After that, he turned to Tommy.
“Get a few more men from Templar Regiment here. Make sure nothing goes wrong this time!”
“Understood!” Tommy nodded as he immediately went to make some calls.
After David reassured Josephine for a little while longer, he left the hotel for Summerbank to get Yasmin out.
Right after he left the hotel, the smile on his face was replaced by a chilling look, and wherever he passed seemed to freeze up.
Meanwhile, at the Whitaker residence, Tyrion didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry when he saw who Wilbur brought home.
“Uncle Wilbur, you got the wrong person. I don’t know this woman. She’s not Josephine,” Tyrion said in an exasperated tone.
“What? Did I? But she said that she was Josephine. How could that be?” Wilbur asked puzzledly.
“You! What’s your name?”
Yasmin trembled slightly when Wilbur turned his attention back to her. She had heard of the Whitaker family before, but it was the first time she had come to the Whitaker residence. She was completely terrified when she saw how big the mansion was and the number of bodyguards outside.
“I-I’m Yasmin...” she stammered.
“You f****g btch! How dare you lie to me!” Wilbur yelled and slapped her. Yasmin’s lip bled from that sudden attack.
Wilbur wasn’t a gentleman at all.
“What should I do now? Should I send her back and get Josephine here?” Wilbur asked.
