chapter 52 Tanks,forth
Genesis's POV:
I woke up from the nightmare in panic, trying to struggle, but gentle hands held me down.
I shrank back in fear, ignoring the wound on my shoulder as I tried to jump off the bed.
Forth's voice immediately rang out. "Genesis, it's me! Don't be afraid!"
Forth?
I came to my senses and realized I was lying in a hospital. Forth was looking at me with concern.
\[How did I get here?\] I asked Forth in sign language. \[Did you save me?\]
Forth shook his head blankly, with some apology. "Sorry Genesis, I can't understand your sign language."
I was somewhat stunned. Right, Forth wasn't Eli. He couldn't understand my sign language.
I looked everywhere for my phone, but it had long since been lost somewhere.
Forth didn't know what I was looking for. Thinking I wanted to find a doctor, he pressed the call button for me.
The doctor immediately came over to check my wound.
"The drugs in your system have worn off. Only the wound on your shoulder blade needs a few more days of rest. If you feel uncomfortable, you can come to the hospital anytime."
I nodded and pointed to his phone.
Only then did Forth understand what I meant and handed me his phone.
I thought about it. He probably saw me being taken away by Lennon at the hotel and deliberately went to rescue me.
I typed on the phone: \[Thank you for everything you did for me.\]
Forth scratched his head embarrassedly and waved his hand.
"I wish I could have rushed over the moment you were kidnapped. I was too late." Forth looked worriedly at my wound.
I thought he was blaming himself for not saving me at the hotel, so I shook my head.
If he hadn't saved me, I'd probably still be under that demon's torture, or might even have been tortured to death by him.
I should thank him.
Ethan pushed the door open.
He was carrying an exquisite nutritious meal, with Susan following behind him. The moment she saw me, tears fell from her eyes.
"How did you get hurt so badly in such a short time!"
Ethan followed behind her to explain. "Eli was worried you had no one to take care of you, so he specially sent Susan to look after you."
Eli knew about this too?
Seeing someone had come to take care of me, Forth quickly stood up to say goodbye. "Since they're here, I'll leave first."
I lowered my eyes and nodded.
My gaze tentatively looked behind Ethan and Susan, but I didn't see Eli's figure.
I smiled self-mockingly.
Right, Eli should be transporting weapons in the south right now. How could he possibly appear here?
Maybe I was used to him suddenly appearing every time, so I felt a little disappointed.
I forced myself to collect my emotions and gestured to Susan: \[I'm fine, don't worry.\]
"How can you be fine with such a serious shoulder injury?" Susan efficiently took the nutritious meal from Ethan and placed it on the table.
Ethan handed over his phone. "Eli said to notify him when you wake up. Why don't you video call him?"
I pressed my lips together. Thinking that Eli had still sent someone to take care of me, I should thank him. So I took the phone from Ethan.
In the video, Eli looked somewhat tired. His concerned gaze swept over me, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Why do you look so pale? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"
I recalled everything Lennon had done, feeling vaguely nauseous and sick.
He was simply a demon!
Thinking of the blood stains remaining on that iron hook, I definitely wasn't the first girl to be victimized!
I bit my lower lip hard, my eyes also turning red.
When I saw Forth earlier, I only felt grateful that he saved my life. Without him, I might really have died at that person's hands.
But seeing Eli, I suddenly felt wronged.
I was clearly a living person too. Why could they hurt me so casually?
I was in so much pain...
This feeling was like a wronged child who finally saw their parents and dared to release their emotions.
I lowered my eyes and tears fell.
Eli's gaze burned on me as he suppressed his anger. "I know you feel wronged. Don't worry, I've already dealt with that Lennon cleanly. I tied him to a cross and I'm about to throw him into Morin Bay."
I suddenly looked up, forgetting to wipe away my tears.
Morin Bay was famous for having many sharks. If Lennon was tied up and thrown in there, he'd probably be eaten clean by sharks the moment he went down.
Sure enough, Eli showed a cruel smile. "He won't even have a chance to scream before being eaten clean."
I breathed a long sigh of relief. At least that demon could never threaten me or anyone else again.
But...
I looked at Eli in surprise, not expecting him to offend the Nelson family for me. After all, that was Delilah's family, and they cooperated closely with the Martinez family.
I hesitantly signed: \[How about a different punishment? Maybe don't kill him.\]
I didn't want Eli to be punished by Jordan because of my situation.
He was already being sent to South Africa. If the Nelson family targeted him, his days would be even harder.
Unexpectedly, Eli suddenly got angry.
He glared at me furiously. "You haven't been abused enough? Do you really want to be slept with by him and then made into a specimen?!"
I was just thinking of him. Why was he scolding me!
My wound started hurting again. Not wanting to argue with him anymore, I found an excuse to hang up the video.
Looking at the black screen, I felt even more wronged.
I was clearly the one who got hurt. I was clearly thinking of him, but he blamed me instead.
Did I want to be hurt?
I wanted that beast to be punished more than anyone, but I didn't dare and couldn't act according to my wishes.
Because I had no parents, no one to support me. Jordan and the others didn't care about my life or death, much less whether I was wronged.
I only had myself.
Seeing this, Ethan comforted me. "Boss is just too worried about you. He's angry at that bastard."
I pressed my lips together, not wanting to discuss anything about Eli with him.
I thought of Forth saving me. I should express my gratitude, so I asked: \[What do men like? I want to thank the person who saved me.\]
Ethan's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Men all like guns, cars and such, but he never lacks these things. How about thinking of something else?"
Forth had many guns and cars?
I was somewhat puzzled, but seeing Ethan's confident look, I assumed he had some special information channels.
If I wasn't giving those things...
"How about homemade desserts? I think he'd definitely like them," Ethan suggested.
My eyes lit up. That was a good idea!
