Chapter 217 I need to know the truth (1/2)

”She will feel better in a few days. Just remember to make her drink the medicine I prescribe to her on time.” A man in his early 30's wearing a civilian suit, looking noble and decent, speaking and acting as a doctor turned to Ethan Lu. He's a little taller than Ethan Lu, his hooded eyes were as dark as black ink and his narrow nose added to his manly charms.

”Alright… thanks, man.” Heaving a sigh of relief, Ethan Lu's worried heart slightly felt relieved seeing that Lexi's complexion turned a bit better after his good friend Doctor Oliver Peng put her on a drip.

”Man, I thought someone was dying with the way your assistant called me in a hurry.” Shaking his head, Oliver Peng muttered. God knows he rushed his way to Ethan Lu's private villa as this good friend of his rarely sought for medical assistance; unless, he has a serious wound.

”Well, I will always sound like that even if she's only having a headache.” Shrugging without turning his gaze away from her, Ethan Lu nonchalantly responded which made the corner of Oliver Peng's brows twitch.

Staring at Ethan Lu's side profile in disbelief, somehow, he could not recognize this man staring lovingly and worriedly to the woman who just got out from her controversial scandals.

Indeed, Oliver Peng had the shock of his life when he saw the woman he needed to treat. After all, Lexi was a famous rising star for quite some time before those ridiculous articles came out. Although those ambiguous articles were all cleared— one could still not forget her loud name in an instant.

Moreover, she was a true beauty that men like him would never forget even with just taking a glance at her. Regardless, how the hell did Ethan Lu and Lexi Yang become an item? Since when?!?

”Anyway, refrain from tiring her as my findings states that her health was rather low— she's unhealthy in other words.” Uttering his other reminder, Oliver Peng snapped from his daze and recomposed his usually calm mind.

”Alright…” The reminders from the doctor went on and on for quite some time before Oliver Peng bid his farewell and left some spare medicines he had on him.

When he left, Ethan Lu called his ever reliable assistant Lyrick Jiang to buy the medicine that Oliver Peng prescribed her which his assistant immediately executed.

After his brief call, Ethan Lu strode to the side of the bed and sat next to Lexi. Scanning her sleeping figure, he heaved a heavy sigh.

”You're really worrying me.” He lowly uttered. Ethan Lu was already worried about her safety with those dangerous men coming after her and now, knowing that Lexi's health wasn't as strong as he reckoned— his concern for her slowly was reaching its zenith.

Just as he felt her temperature by placing his palm on her forehead, his phone on the side vibrated that made him glanced at it. Upon seeing Chris Yu's contact name, Ethan Lu didn't hurry as he slowly brushed a nickel strand of hair on Lexi's face.

Staring at her for several seconds until he was satisfied, Ethan Lu stood up grabbing his phone with him. As he exited the room, his vibrating phone stopped. He didn't go elsewhere and directly went to his study room on the other side of his villa.

As soon as he entered the study room, Ethan Lu called back Chris Yu. It only took one ring before the line connected.

”Did you find out anything?” Without going into circles, Ethan Lu inquired. Although he had Lyrick Jiang reach out to their contact in the government, he still felt restless and thought that Chris Yu might have a stronger connection to the special forces since he was an agent, to begin with.

”uh yeah… they were infamous criminals from some underworld organization— we both know who's folk they were under.” Sounding relaxed as usual, Chris Yu responded as he flipped the pages of the pile of documents on his desk.

”But, the thing is, each of them vanished from some time ago as if they all died— even our intel could not garner any sightings on them in recent times that's why it will take time to calculate how many people received Kong Shuren's last order. His organization was quite large. The only thing we can be thankful for is that they seemed to have an internal dilemma of who would be their next family head.”
