Finding Arielle
“Can I go in and have a look at him?” Casper raised his gaze toward the hospital’s director. He was very
grateful and eager to see the man who had saved him. Other than his parents and his sister, that was the
first time someone unrelated to him had cared for him.
The director nodded. “Of course, you can. But, please be quiet, okay? Otherwise, you’ll disturb his rest.”
Casper nodded and pushed open the door to the ward gently. He then walked toward the bed without
making a sound. To his surprise, he saw Vinson’s pair of dark eyes staring back at him.
“You’re awake, Mr. Nightshire? Do you want some water?” Casper went up to him and asked shyly.
“You are?” Vinson stared at him as he tried to recall his memory. I don’t know him.
“I’m Casper, Mr. Nightshire. You saved me during the gun battle. You wouldn’t have gotten hurt if you
didn’t save me.” As Casper was talking, his voice went softer toward the end of the sentence. He felt
extremely guilty that he was the cause of Vinson’s injuries.
Vinson recalled that when he saved the person, he paid no attention to the gender or the appearance of
the person. All I can remember is Sannie rushing toward me anxiously.
Upon seeing the guilt on Casper’s face, he comforted the boy, “You don’t have to feel bad for me. It was
my pleasure to help you.”
“Mr. Nightshire, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? I can get someone to send in food and drinks for you.”
Casper was very courteous toward his life savior. In fact, he was very fond of Vinson.
At the moment, Vinson wasn’t in the mood for food and beverages. Instead, all he cared about was
Arielle. Since Casper can come in and see me, why isn’t Arielle here yet?
Before he could ask Casper about Arielle, the door to the ward was pushed open again. Bryan and his
wife walked in alongside the director and two doctors.
They realized Vinson had woken up again when they heard Casper talking.
Upon walking in, the doctor checked on Vinson again and found that he was recovering very well.
“You’re strong, and you’re recovering extremely well!” The doctor shot him a thumbs up.
Bryan then walked up to Vinson’s bed and said gratefully, “Mr. Nightshire, I’m Bryan, and this is my wife.
Thank you so much for saving Casper’s life. He’s everything to us. From now on, please don’t hesitate to
look for us if you ever need anything.”
Vinson took a glance at Bryan, and he knew instantly that the latter wasn’t an ordinary man. Since saving
Casper was the right thing to do, he wouldn’t ask for anything in return. However, he didn’t turn Bryan
down upon seeing how sincere he was. It’s never wrong to make another friend.
“Thank you,” Vinson answered.
After thanking Bryan, Vinson looked at the doctor and asked, “Doctor, it’s visiting hour now, right? Why is
my beloved not here to see me?”
The doctors looked at each other, not knowing what to tell Vinson. Ultimately, the director stepped
forward and said, “You were still unconscious when Ms. Moore came to see you. She said she has
something important to attend to, and she’ll come over again later.”
Vinson wasn’t convinced. Something must’ve happened. Otherwise, Arielle wouldn’t leave me at the
hospital alone. With that thought in mind, he grew anxious.
“Could you hand me my phone?” He wanted to give Arielle a call.
Since he was unconscious for the past couple of days, the nurses were tasked to change him. They had
kept his phone away.
Upon seeing the anxious look on Vinson’s face, Casper quickly uttered, “Mr. Nightshire, Ms. Moore said
she has something to do. She told us to wait for her.”
