Chapter 522: Where's Jimmy
The men parted slowly, leaving a space for Hercules to drive through.
Grey regarded them for a moment.
"Good!"
He muttered and walked to his car.He got inside and started the ignition.He looked up and realised that Gregory was standing in front of the car.He watched him for another moment before he pressed the accelerator so that the car would move very fast and make Gregory leave.
Gregory was instead very determined.
Grey realised he was going to kill him and veered from the direction very fast, almost losing control.
Grey jerked forward and hit his head on the steering.He hesitated for a few minutes, as the pain in his head collided with the one in his leg and his heart to make him feel very miserable.
For a moment, he didn't know what he was supposed to do.
The pain in his heart had all gathered and beget anger.
The only thing he wanted to do at that moment was kill Giovanni.It was the only way to heal.He couldn't even think clearly.He felt so hurt inside.
"Grey!" Alfred called softly and wrenched the car door open.
"Grey!"
Grey didn't answer immediately.
Though, he heard him.
"You can't do this.You can't go to Giovanni without any plans.You could get yourself killed.I mean isn't that what he wants?"
Alfred was right but somehow, Grey didn't want to agree with him.
"So, he's supposed to go scot-free for trying to mess with the two women I value!"
He muttered, his voice rising above normal.And for a moment, Grey realised that he really valued Avery.
Fuck! He didn't know how he would feel if she died.
"What? Aphrodite has left comatose.I'm sure she will get up soon."
Grey looked at Alfred, with a ray of hope.
"What of Avery?"
Alfred gave him a confused look.
"Did something happen to Avery?"
"She was shot in the head."
Alfred went into a state of shock for a moment.
"What the fuck! How did it happen?"
Grey sighed.
"She might never make it.It was my fault that she was even at the party.I made her come back to Jacksonville, she didn't want to," he lamented.
At this point, Alfred understood his pain.He turned to look at Gregory.
"The men are dismissed," he ordered.
Grey was being emotional and he knew that it would be bad if his men saw him like that.
They had always held him in high esteem and that must never stop.
The men pulled back and eventually drove off, leaving only Gregory.
"You are bleeding? You should get treated.I will call my doctor over." Grey shook his head briefly.
"I will rather go back to the hospital where Avery is.I will get back to you later."
"I will come with you boss,"
Gregory muttered and walked to the passenger's side.
"It's ok.I'm not going to Giovanni, you don't need to be worried. novelebook.com I will go to the hospital and take it as an opportunity to think about it all and proffer the best way to deal with Giovanni once, and for all."
Alfred signalled for Gregory to step back.
"Alright, we will be expecting your call."
Grey nodded once.He wasn't ready to give up on Giovanni.
There was no way that would even happen.
The only thing he needed at that moment was how to break and kill Giovanni.And he was going to use his new position for it.He drove back to the hospital, different thoughts curling up in him in some sort of
crazy confusion.But he was slightly happy that Aphrodite was going to wake up soon.He was just scared of what the bullet would do to Avery.
The fact that she didn't even die immediately was a miracle.
In the next few minutes, he was sitting in front of the doctor.
After several scolds, that he ran away from the hospital without approval from the hospital, the doctor was eventually ready to tell him about Avery.
It turned out that the surgery ended several minutes ago.
"Mr.Grey, I'm sorry for this but we think your girlfriend might have sight or ear impairment."
Grey's heart increased its beat.
"But the surgery went well.Let's just hope for the best.The position that the bullet was, was very critical.In fact, it took us time before we could successfully pull it out," the doctor explained.
Grey felt his life shattered.
Avery was a carefree girl.How was she supposed to do her life with an impairment? How was she supposed to run the business if she can't see or hear? He groaned inwardly.
"And there's nothing to be done about it?"
"We have to let her regain consciousness.At this moment, I don't know when she will get up.She's currently in a coma.We just have to hope she wakes up soon."
Grey released a sigh.
"But is there anything we can do to fix the impairment?"
"Yes, we could correct that but it would cost you a lot of money.Besides, we can't guarantee its success.Anyways, all this has to be when she wakes up."
Grey cupped his face in exhaustion.
"But we will try our best.As long as you can provide us with what we need financially, we will do our best," he consoled.
Grey looked up at him and made a short nod of his head.
"Alright, thank you so much, doctor."
"Alright, that's enough.You need to take some painkillers.I'm sure you are in pain as well.You sure are strong or you would have fainted out of pain.So, I will need you to stay for the night so we can check the wound and be sure everything is safe," he explained.
Grey nodded again.
"I will stay.I just need you to transfer her to a private room and I will be with her.Tell me the bill and I will settle it." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Alright, I will do that."
Grey stepped out of the office a few minutes later and exhaled a sigh.
Then, he remembered Jimmy.
Jimmy was supposed to show up with his clothes.
If Aphrodite had gone to retrieve it, then where was Jimmy? He pulled out his phone and placed a call to Charles.He picked it up after the second ring.
"Hello, Grey."
"Hello Charles, I heard that Aphrodite has regained consciousness."
"Yes boss, I tried your number several times but you didn't pick up.She has and the doctor confirms that she will wake up anytime soon.I have some men protecting her already, as I came home to take a nap," he explained.
"I understand.Actually, I wanted to ask about Jimmy.Have you seen him?"
There were a few minutes of silence.
"I haven't seen him at all."
"Then something is wrong," Grey presumed.
