My Mom's Second Marriage Gifted Me Seven Brothers

At the end of the street corner, a man in black suit with a black umbrella turned around and leaned against the wall.

Under the umbrella, his face was dark and twisted like a demon’s.

“Monroe Hall! It’s you!”

The man punched the wall and a terrifying and sinister smile appeared on his face.

Mary’s hug made Monroe feel a little relieved, but also a little uncomfortable!

He didn’t want to be too greedy for her hug, so he pulled Mary away!

“Go!”

Monroe turned around and walked quickly in front in the rain. Although Adela and the others immediately put on a new raincoat for him, he still left Mary far behind.

Mary asked Jim beside her, “What’s wrong with your Boss?”

Jim turned his head and looked at Mary with some difficulty. “Miss Mary, the Boss is very worried about you. We’ve been walking in the rain for an hour just to find you.”

Mary shut her mouth and stopped talking.

After half an hour, they finally returned to the hotel.

As soon as they returned to the room, Mary immediately ran into the bathroom.

After soaking in the hot water in the bathtub, Mary finally felt that she was slowly coming back to life!

An hour later, Mary changed into a clean Japanese bathrobe. It was navy blue with pink cherry blossoms.

After drying her hair, Mary poked her head out of the room and looked first into the living room.

Fortunately, everyone seemed to have left.

Mary then boldly walked out and came to Monroe’s tightly shut door.

Clearing her throat, Mary reached out and knocked on the door. “Hey, Monroe, are you there? I want to ask you a favor!”

After a while, the door opened.

Monroe stood at the door with a straight face.

Obviously, he was still angry with her, thinking that she had done a lot of stupid things!

Mary raised her hand pitifully. It was still the same way she used her clothes to tie up the wound, but now it was very dirty!

Blood spread everywhere, and it was stained with dirty mud.

When Monroe and the others had just found Mary, Mary’s hand had been deliberately hiding, and she had been hiding in the raincoat since she put it on.

That was why Monroe hadn’t noticed it!

His pupils constricted and he immediately grabbed her hand. “What’s going on?”

He had noticed that her clothes had been torn, and now it was wrapped around the back of her hand, stained with blood!

Obviously, she was injured!

Monroe did not notice that his voice was trembling.

Mary looked up at him, and her voice was pleading. “Monroe! I’m in so much pain, so I want you to help me retreat my wound, get some medicine to take, and then… give me some hot soup!”

Monroe angrily threw her hand away: “You have a lot of nerve!”

Mary covered her hand and cried out, “Ouch!”

Monroe’s expression changed and held her wrist again.

He was angry, but he did not vent his emotions to Mary.

Monroe used the hotel’s phone to make an internal call, and then pulled Mary to the sofa to sit down.

He took out the medical box, and then grabbed some scissors to cut the cloth wrapped around Mary’s hand.

Mary turned her hand and showed her palm to Monroe.

After cutting the cloth away, Monroe turned Mary’s hand over and saw it clearly.

There was a wound on the back of Mary’s hand. The skin and flesh had long been split open, and blood would occasionally ooze out.

“What happened!” Monroe questioned again in a deep voice.

This wound didn’t look like it had been scratched by a sharp weapon, nor did it look like a knife wound. It was more like… a wound that he was more familiar with, a wound caused by bullets!

Only then did Mary tell her what had happened along the way. “After I sent Natalie home, she gave me an inflatable boat. I didn’t expect to be targeted halfway. Three men beat me up. I had a chance of winning the boat back, but I didn’t expect them to have another man upstairs. I was ambushed!”

“These people are too despicable! That inflatable rubber boat is especially useful. It’s a hundred times better than a kayak. Unfortunately…”

Monroe interrupted Mary’s angry mood and refocused. “You said someone was plotting against you? With a gun?”
