Kim finally woke up by 10 PM. Carl was resting his head just beside her. As she moved, she winced in pain. The anesthesia had worn off. Carl immediately got up, "Are you okay?" He asked, hovering around her, he wasn't sure where to touch. "Does it hurt a lot? Should I call the doctor?"
There was a sheen of sweat on his face and his hands shook. His nervousness could not be hidden. Seeing him so worried, Kim forgot about her pain as she smiled at him, "It's fine, sit down."
He paused for a few seconds before sitting down, "You must tell me if it hurts."
She nodded at him.
Remembering what had transpired earlier, she lowered her head, "Madam George…"
"She's fine."
She let out the breath she was holding. "That's good." Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Yeah." He muttered.
"You should rest, don't think about anything, when you're better, I'll take you to her."
At that moment she was shot, she had made the decision to live in the moment. She could have easily died without experiencing the good things in life because of her fears. Whether warranted or unwarranted, it did not matter, she should take what she wanted, her eyes met his, be with who she wanted.
Yes.. her near death experience gave her the courage to move forward. She could not continue to wallow in self-pity, denial and fear. Life, though the longest thing you do, was pretty short.
"Thank you." She smiled at him.
"For what?" With a silly smile on his face, he asked.
Kim mouthed, "Everything."
"If I don't take care of you, who will?"
She chuckled a little, "Yes, it's just you, so you can't leave me in the future."
Like a puppy in love, his eyes sparkled. He nodded in acknowledgement.
…
While Carl stayed in the hospital with Kim, the King had carried out his intentions. The city was as calm as never before. He had brought his ruthlessness with him to ensure peace.
No one expected him to move, after all, he hardly interfered with business. As long as you don't cross his line, everything was fine. But for the first time, he issued an order to kill that gang. Just like that, they vanished.
As for his warning to the Stans, it was as simple as that. Chamberlain successfully seized the docks. So the Stans now had full control of the harbour in the city. Unknown to them that the King only let them do as they pleased to see what they were up to. Surprisingly, Chamberlain did not call after Carl spent two weeks in the hospital, caring for Kim. Carl assumed he would ask him to resume work but he did not. May be he felt responsible for what happened, after all, he was the cause. Whether it was intentional or not, innocent people died, that was it.
Actually, the person behind the Stans felt it was also a trap. To carry out a plan of such nature, you should be aware of how things worked and who was in charge. He really wanted to ask them to draw back but they needed that particular harbour, it was the easiest way in and out of the country. Besides, the Navy patrolling that area had already been taken over by their men. They could easily get things in and out of the country without alarming any power, it was part of their plan after all.
His greed won in the end, they would not withdraw but act with caution as they had already alarmed one dangerous power. He still had an advantage, he was in the dark, his identity unknown. Even Chamberlain had not seen his face, what could go wrong?
