Chapter 548 WHERE AM I?
Apple was feeling much better after four days in the hospital and the cast on her neck and leg had been removed, but the bruises and scratches were still visible.But, other than that, Apple’s condition had improved and she was allowed to go home by the doctor.
Meanwhile, Pyro had come out of his critical period and had been transferred to the infirmary. Apple had visited her father twice, but indeed Pyro was still unconscious.
Today, Jayden took the time to go to the hospital to pick up Apple when he learned that she was allowed to go home.
He seemed so patient with Apple, but also less talkative and more serious than before.
Whenever Apple asked about his problems with the Gevano family, Jayden would distract her and say she had nothing to worry about, that everything was under control.
But, Apple knew that Jayden wasn’t telling the truth, he just didn’t want to worry Apple especially when she was still not fully recovered.
”Are you ready?” Jayden asked, kissing the top of Apple’s head and helping her out of bed, while one of the bodyguards had the bag filled with clothes and everything Apple used while in this hospital.
”Okay, let’s go home,” Apple said excitedly. Her father was still unconscious, but she was sure that her father would be fine, after all, he was in good hands and under the protection of the Tordoffs.
After all, who would attack him in a hospital like this?
”Okay, let’s go home,” Jayden said, holding Apple’s hand.
When they were outside the hospital room, there were about eight people escorting them out the back door, where a car was waiting for them.
”Why did you bring so many bodyguards?” Apple asked, leaning over to whisper to Jayden.
”The media got wind of this,” Jayden replied, this was the reason why they had to use the back door to get out of the hospital.
It was also something that made Jayden’s business a bit bogged down, because the media had been going crazy by reporting that the future daughter-in-law of the Tordoff family had been attacked and was now in hospital.
The news had been confirmed to have been obtained from outsiders who were aware of the attack and leaked it to the mass media, otherwise it would be impossible for the reporters to find out so quickly.
Jayden then helped Apple to sit comfortably in the back seat, while he sat beside her and Adam was the one driving the car, along with another bodyguard that Apple didn’t recognize.
There were so many bodyguards for the Tordoff family that it was impossible for Apple to recognize them all.
”How are you?” Jayden asked, he noticed the look on Apple’s face and then asked how she was feeling. Was she feeling pain in a certain part of her body or was there something she wanted to eat? Or was Apple sitting comfortably?
Apple then massaged her temples, grimacing.
”What is it? Your head still hurts? Should we go back to the hospital? I told you that you should be hospitalized for at least another week until you fully recover.” Jayden frowned, he didn’t approve of Apple coming home from the hospital so soon.
But instead, Apple massaged her temples and glared fiercely at Jayden. “My head hurts because you ask too many questions,” she complained.
”I am worried,” Jayden said quietly, his face twisted with a sad expression and seeing that Apple just remembered the stray puppy, his puppy eyes reminded her of it.
”I just need a hug,” Apple then said a little more gently because Jayden seemed really stressed out recently and she didn’t want to add to his thoughts anymore.
Hearing this, Jayden’s facial expression immediately became cheerful and he happily hugged Apple and buried his face in the girl’s neck.
”You scared me,” he mumbled. “I thought I was going to lose you.”
Apple laughed softly when she heard that. “You didn’t lose me, you didn’t know that I was very strong?”
Jayden lifted his head from Apple’s Shoulders and looked at her sullenly. “You couldn’t beat a single man that night,” he stated matter of factly.
Hearing this, Apple widened her eyes in displeasure. “I helped you kill one man, don’t you forget my contribution.”
”I killed two men.” Jayden didn’t want to lose, which meant he killed more than Apple. “Oh no, I killed three, because I also killed the man who attacked you.”
Killing might be a much lighter word when considering what Jayden had done to the man who had hurt Apple, one could say the man’s face was already unrecognizable because of all those bullets that hit his head at close range.
”Oh, should we have a race over who kills more, then?” Apple let go of Jayden and folded her arms across her chest. She looked a little bit competitive now over this issue.
Meanwhile, Adam and the man sitting beside him stared at each other and grimaced in horror.
How could the two of them race to see who killed more? Jayden and Apple do get along well with each other, but this is a strange level.
========================
”This is not my house,” Apple said when she woke up and realized that Jayden was holding her.
She seemed to have fallen asleep after their little bickering.
”You think I will take you to your house again? Of course not,” Jayden said firmly.
Adam walked in front of them and pressed the button for the elevator that would take them to Jayden’s penthouse.
”Wait, wait.” Apple tried to get out of Jayden’s arms and he lowered her carefully, although she felt a little dizzy when her feet hit the floor of the escalator and as it moved upward. “Where are we?”
”You will live in my apartment.”
”In your apartment?” Apple frowned.
”Yes, with me.” Jayden smirked.
”I don’t remember agreeing to it.”
”I did not ask for your to agree with me.”
