Chapter 1030: Chapter 1033: The Opponent is Coming for You Chapter 1030: Chapter 1033: The Opponent is Coming for You Chapter 1033: They Came for You
Lily heard the noise and suddenly turned her head.
As she turned, she saw that the study room door had been pushed open.
In her memory, Richard Coldwell, who always seemed above the fray and coldly serious, caught the person who staggered in through the door.
Lily clearly saw that the person's arm and lower abdomen were visibly stained with blood.
Only then did she realize that the person who entered was Abigail Coldwell.
She had met the man once before and knew that he was Richard Coldwell's younger cousin.
“Cory, the child has been…”
“Don't talk, get inside first.”
Richard Coldwell stabilized Abigail and seated him on the sofa.
The sight of the blood on Abigail's body startled Lily, causing her to inadvertently overlook his words.
However, upon hearing the word 'child' for the second time from Abigail's mouth, Lily suddenly realized what this implied!
“Mr. Coldwell, the children you just mentioned, are they Abbie and Lulu?”
Lily rushed to the side of the sofa in a panic. Richard Coldwell was settling Abigail down.
She saw Richard Coldwell wordlessly tear open the blood-soaked clothes on Abigail.
The shirt was ripped open, revealing the wounds on Abigail's arm and lower abdomen.
The wounds were large, with fresh blood gushing out.
It was clear they needed immediate suturing.
“On the left side of the entrance, the third cabinet below, get me a first aid kit.
Richard Coldwell only glanced at Abigail's wounds for a moment before coldly ordering Lily.
“Mr. Coldwell, I'm asking you…”
“Go get a first aid kit,” Richard Coldwell said coldly, interrupting Lily.
His naturally indifferent features seemed even more forbidding with an icy frost.
Even though he looked frightening, Lily's concern for the children made her ready to confront Richard Coldwell resolutely.
Then she heard his unusually stern voice again, “Abigail finds the two children adorable and, fearing my men might scare them, volunteered to accompany them to Larry Scott. The phone call just now was to Abigail. I know you're worried about the children, but right now… saving a life is more important.”
Richard Coldwell, not usually one for many words, might have explained a bit more just to help Lily understand.
Lily had already guessed that Abigail was referring to the two adorable kids, and now hearing Richard Coldwell confirm it, her heart was in even greater turmoil.
She was desperate to have Richard Coldwell clarify the situation immediately.
But when she saw the wound on Abigail's lower abdomen and his pale face from excessive blood loss, she managed to suppress her feelings.
Indeed, saving a life was the priority.
If Abigail's wound wasn't treated soon, his life might be at risk.
Suppressing the panic at the bottom of her heart, Lily took the first aid kit out of the cabinet and placed it tremblingly by the side of the sofa.
Richard Coldwell expressionlessly opened the box, put on surgical gloves, and began treating Abigail's wound with a cool demeanor – disinfecting, stemming the bleeding, then suturing.
Richard Coldwell graduated from the Royal Military Academy as a highly gifted student, proficient in various survival skills, including emergency medical treatment.
The first aid kit was well-stocked, and after Richard Coldwell treated Abigail's wounds, he set up an IV drip for him.
Only after everything was taken care of did he take off the blood-stained gloves and look up at Lily.
“The news of my return hasn't been leaked. Moreover, nobody knows I brought two children back with me.”
Richard Coldwell was known for his discretion. Just considering how, after she and Sadie entered the villa, other than the guards assigned to the East District, only an old butler received them, made this clear.
“Including Abigail, there are only three people who took the children to Larry Scott. No one from my side would leak a sliver of information, so…”
Richard Coldwell's eagle-like, cool, and somber blue eyes lifted to meet Lily's.
“The only possible leak,” he said, “could come from one source.”
“Is it Larry Scott!?”
“No,” Richard Coldwell denied Lily's guess, “it's you.”
