Dax was one of the prominent figures in Donghai City. Donoghue could be in big trouble for offending him since his condition was still unknown.
Lily was worried ever since last night's incident.
Donoghue was absent in Lily's previous live-streaming session as well.
'Could it be that something bad happened to him?'
Lily's mind was filled with worrying thoughts.
Ding ding.
Lily's phone suddenly beeped at that moment.
She took out her phone and was instantly joyous upon seeing a text message from Donoghue.
He merely sent a short sentence. [Lily, I hope you weren't terrified of yesterday's incident?] Even his demeanor through text was gentlemanly.
Lily felt an unexplainable sense of relief as her mood lightened upon reading Donoghue's text.
She deduced from the text that Donoghue was safe from last night's incident.
Lily hastily replied [I'm alright. How about you? Dax is a powerful man in Donghai City. He'll never let you off easily for beating him up like that. You must be careful.]
Donoghue grinned on the other side of the phone. [Don't worry. Even though Dax is a powerful man, he's never a threat to me. He has no chance of hurting me, don't worry.]
Lily was relieved at his reply.
At that moment, Donoghue sent another message. [Lily, we were so rudely interrupted by that pesky Dax last night. How about we hang out at Dynasty Bar again tonight? I don't know why, but I feel delighted when you're around. I feel worry-free whenever I'm with you.]
There was even smiley face at the end of the message.
Lily felt an indescibable sweetness in her heart upon reading his message.
Donoghue was well-mannered and knew how to flatter. Not to mention he was rich and handsome. How was it possible for a man to have all those traits?
'How could any girl not fall for such an excellent man?' Lily thought.
[Sure, see you tonight.] replied Lily without any hesitation.
...
Donghai City First Hospital.
Hundreds of burly men stood menacingly at the second-floor inpatient department! All of them had an unrestrained angered expression with murderous auras emenating from their bodies. Their presence had crammed up the entire second floor.
Those men were Dax's subordinates.
No one dared to move about on the second floor. Even doctors and nurses were afraid of speaking up. Anyone would be scared in the presence of so many burly men.
These burly men were led by an old man wearing a white tang suit. The old man's expression was filled with worry.
This old man was none other than Dax's grandfather, Saul.
Saul had been at the suburbs manor due to the great atmosphere there as he spent his time gardening and fiddling with antiques.
Saul was shocked and angered upon hearing news of Dax's assault and rushed to the hospital the night before.
Dax was still in his life-saving surgery even till now.
Meanwhile, Saul was worried and angry.
Saul had struggled and worked hard many years ago in Donghai City and made a name for the Sanders family with his own two hands. He was revered by every prominent family in Donghai City with the utmost respect.
Howver, someone went as far as to hurt his precious grandson! It was simply unacceptable for Saul!
Nancy's face was stained with tear marks as she sat dejectedly on a chair beside him.
Her heart shattered at the sight of Dax's bloodied body the previous night.
A dozen of Dax's men eventually arrived and were about to storm Dynasty Bar last night. However, they did not expect over a hundred of Donoghue's men to rush out against them.
It was without a doubt, Dax's men were ultimately defeated and badly injured after a chaotic battle and they were staying at the hospital as well.
Nancy prayed that her husband would be alright.
He must recover.
At the moment, the operating room door opened as Shelly came out wearing a white coat.
Shelly performed this surgery herself as she knew Dax and Darryl were close friends.
The whole operation took roughly seven hours from last night till now.
Shelly was completely exhausted with her forehead covered with sweat. It was hard for anyone to endure such a long operation.
"Chief Shelly, how's Dax?"
"How's my grandson?"
Saul and Nancy immediately approached Shelly. Their words were different but they shared the same worried tone.
Shelly sighed and hesitated before speaking. "His condition isn't good, there's no guarantee he'll survive. Even if he could stay alive, it's possible he would be disabled..."
In truth, Shelly had been a doctor for so many years and never seen someone so badly injured.
Dax was cut a total of 36 times with his entire body covered in wounds. His flesh was disfigured and even the muscles in his arms and legs were torn. The entire operating table was stained red with his blood.
