Chapter 55 I Am Taking You Away
Raylee could even hear the sound of her bones breaking.
She forced herself to stand amidst the agonizing pain, fully awarethatthere was no hope of escape. Yet, she still dragged her feet toward the door as if that was her beacon of hope, the sole light guiding her toward survival
Her consciousness was gradually fading from excessive blood loss.Allshe could hear were the persistent shouts from the man behind her, demanding her to stop.
Suddenly, her legs gave way from exhaustion, causing her to collapse into a broad and sturdy embrace:
Lifting her gaze, she saw an unfamiliar face but felt it was strangely familiar.
It’by does he look like Percival!I must be losing my mind for mistaking just about anyone for Percival.
“Ms. Goodridge? Are you all right? Wake up!”
Just as Raylee was on the verge of passing out, Percival slipped a pill into her mouth.
Almost instantaneously, Kayleeregainedconsciousness.
“No way, you’re really Percival?How did you end up here?” she asked, her voice laced with shock and fear.
“Now isn’t the time to ask questions. I’m here to take you away!” Percival swept her off her feet in a bridal hold,
Before long, the staff from the psychiatric hospital had stopped them in their tracks.
Facing the surging crowd, Percival warned coldly, “I dare anyone to lay a finger on me. Try me.”
His burning gaze glared at them. The fire in his eyes seemed as if it could set them ablaze.
Kaylee gazed at his profile, her eyes shimmering in the brisk night breeze. Suddenly, she found herself lost in thought.
In that instant, it was asdf a beam of light had illuminated Percival’s face, casting him in a heroic light.She intuitively felt that this man could save her. Thus, she clung tightly to his shirt as if grasping her last lifeline.
“Get your director to see met Percival demanded angrily.
“Do it now, or I’ll level this place! You don’t want to mess with met
Some wereobliviousto the situationandpromptlyrushedto summon thedirector.
A balding man in his sixties hastily descended thestairs.
“I heard someone plans to level ourhospital, I’d like to see who’s got the nervel”
The moment his arrogantwordsleft his lips, and he got a clear look atPercival,his attitude took a complete one–eighty.
“Are you Dr.Shapiro”
“I see you’re not blind because you know who Iam. Now, I’m taking this person with me.Areyou going to stop me or seemeoff?” Percival’s expression was thunderous.
“Of course, I’m seeing you off, Dr.Shapiro, Please follow me andcomethisway.”
The director put on an obsequious smile while stretching his arm out.
“Director, have you lost your mind?” Neville asked, perplexed. “That’s thepatientMr. Goodridge admitted—
shut up!” hecommanded.
After the director roared, he quickly put on an ingratiating demeanor and personally escorted Percival out of the hospital.

Neville urgently exclaimed, “Director, now that the patient has escaped,whatare we going to tell Mr. Goodridge? He specifically instructed us to keep her here for a month so that shehasahistory and symptoms of mental illness!”
Finished
With a worried look, the director sighed. “Forget it, I’ll explain to Mr. Goodridge tomorrow. That man we just met, Percival Shapiro, is a renowned specialist in the medical field. Numeroustycoonsin Jexburgh depend on him for medical care. If we offend him, we can kiss our social standing in this circle goodbye!”
After Percival had carried Raylee into the car, he realized that her calf was broken.
Kaylee’spainwas so intense that her face turned deathly pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat. Yet, she clenched teeth and bore it stoically.
Her loose tooth began to bleed again, fresh blood trickling down from the corner of her mouth. The sight thoroughly frightened Percival
“T’ll take you to the hospital right now! Oh, what’s your family’s phone number? I need to get in touch with them!”
“No“” Raylee uttered weakly, “Please, don’t!”
Why not? That d’mnCasimirwon’t even answer his phone! What’s going on? Why is everyone in the whole world unreachable?” Percival cursed in frustration.
“It was the Goodridge family who wanted to send me to the psychiatric hospital, and I’m not sure if Casimir is part of it. Dr. Shapiro, if you sympathize with me, pleasedon’ttell them…”
Kaylee promptly fainted right after.
When she wokeup,she realized she was onadouble bed.
Relief filled herwhenshe realized none of the Goodridge or Sutherland family was there.
But, where am I?
Looking around the exquisitely decorated room,she wore a look of utter bewilderment.
Percival pushed the door openand, upon seeing her awake, hefinallybreathed a sigh of relief.
You’ve been sleeping for two whole days now. I’ve had to play caregiver foryouafter coming home from work each day. It’s been absolutely exhausting for me.”
He stretched lazily, then came closer to examine her face.
“You’re recovering smoothly,” hesaid. “I’ll change your medication later,andthen youshouldbe able to walk, However,forthefirstweek, you’ll needtousea crutch.”
Struggling to sit upright, Rayleesaid, “Thankyou, Dr. Shapiro. Uh, about my clothes…”
