Chapter 839 Someone Was Following Us
- Besides, she also thought that Jordy only got injured, because of her. She did have some reasons to help him check the wounds. Gloria bit her lips and then said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just think you are pretending to be brave. Just take off your jacket and I'll check your wounds." Jordy quickly retorted, "If I let you check my wounds, will you come with me?" Gloria was silent again. This bastard really knows how to make a bargain! "What place must I go now?" Gloria was curious and a bit impatient. However, Jordy didn't give her a direct answer. He said patiently, "You will know when you come." "Let me put this first. I won't go anywhere that is too far away, Besides, if your wounds look too serious, I won't go either." Gloria felt unhappy about his firm attitude, but she could not be too cruel to him either. So she put the conditions first. "It's not too far away and I'm fine now. If you have to see the wounds, I'll let you see them." Gloria was surprised by that. What do you mean by saying I have to see the wounds? Gloria glared at him and said, "Jordy, don't you talk nonsense to me. I didn't say that I have to see your wounds. I just want to help you since you've helped me. Or otherwise, I wouldn't even care a bit if you died in front of me." "Oh, really?" The rhetorical question of Jordy, along with his look seemed to question Gloria. Yet he also looked quite indifferent. Gloria couldn't see through what Jordy was up to. She looked at him angrily and told him tersely, "Or what? There is no love between us now. Quick, I need to rest early. I don't want to waste my time with you here." Jordy didn't continue.
- He put on that aloof face again. Just when Gloria saw that he had not moved, she wanted to urge him. But suddenly he started to loose the button of his coat in an orderly manner. There were two wounds that had been stitched by her, revealing clear stokes. She had used the kind of thread that didn't need to be removed from the skin. There was no inflammation or swelling around the wounds. She admired Jordy a little bit for his bravery. He was shot twice in a row, and there was still poison left in his body. If the shot in his chest was a little closer to his heart, it would instantly have killed him. He knew this when he was doing the operation. But still he didn't care about his injury no matter when he was in the UK or home. Gloria was a little irritated by his attitude. "Jordy do you think you are Iron Man?" Jordy looked down at his chest and felt the pain in his chest was spreading. However, he didn't even frown at all. He couldn't see the wounds completely. He could only see part of it, which looked like a centipede with all those stitches. There was no bleeding or swelling. So... When Jordy thought of that, he looked up at Gloria's eyes, which were bright and firm. He didn't speak. It was a pregnant silence. Gloria was not very comfortable when she was stared at by him like that. His face was as handsome as a heavenly god. She was touched, not to say that she was once so obsessed with him. Immediately, Gloria looked away. "Why do you look at me like this? You want me to speak directly, but how couldn't you be straightforward to me as well? I can't read your mind." Jordy answered calmly, "There is nothing to say. Can you just go with me now?" "Alright." Gloria agreed mainly to see what Jordy was up to. After walking out of the hotel with him, Gloria immediately found a man wearing a cap following them. She turned to Jordy slightly and lowered her voice, "Jordy, someone is following us." Chapter 1551 A Frightening Shriek A shred of surprise flashed across Jordy's eyes and he immediately looked cold. There was all the more disdain in his eyes as well. "I'm afraid that he doesn't have the guts or fortune to do anything to us." Jordy snapped this sentence coldly. Then he grabbed Gloria's waist and walked on. However, his actions made Gloria feel a sensation in her heart. His movements were too sudden for her to react. She subconsciously pushed him away and said, "Jordy, what are you doing? It's just someone following you..." Although she didn't know who was following them, she was not afraid at all. Jordy was not afraid either. 01 57% He said bravely, "This time, you are helping my family. I must not let any accident occur to you." Gloria didn't answer. She didn't know what to say. Shortly afterwards, Jordy took her into the car. Jordy wanted to sit in the driver's seat. Seeing this, Gloria stopped him quickly and said, "Tell me the address. I'll drive." "No." Jordy rejected her. The next second, Jordy had entered the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt. Gloria knew Jordy's disposition well and she didn't say anything against that. So she just let him drive without saying anything.
- She was sitting in the back seat, and as the car started, all the scenery seemed to recede along the road. In the rear mirror, she saw a silver van following them all the time in a short distance. She discovered the van and thought Jordy must not have missed it. After driving for more than an hour, Jordy stopped the car. Gloria took a look at the place that they were about to get into. It was Maple Village. This was a famous tourist attraction in San Diego. There were hot springs in the villa, and thousands of acres of fields planted with flowers in the mountains behind. There were also hot air balloons that could be released into the sky. It was a place for couples to come for sightseeing. During the three years when her marriage to Jordy was still going quite well, she had dreamed of being in love with him as an ordinary couple. She had wanted to come to such a place with him before. After all, she was a woman. She had a heart for love like that of every woman. She had a longing for a faithful future life. She had wanted to be dedicated to him. But it was all changed... She was divorced, and didn't have any extravagant hopes for love. Gloria turned her head and looked at Jordy, looking a little confused. "Why did you bring me here?" They were not lovers, and they were even followed by others. Not to say that there were still many rumors surrounding them. But Jordy avoided answering her question. He pressed his lips and said, "Let's go in." Just when Gloria was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of the man who had been stalking them in a cap at the gate of the hotel. Maybe Jordy is also performing this for him. With that in mind, Gloria didn't say anything against him. She walked inside with Jordy as he requested. Jordy gave her a look, and she immediately understood. She looked around, took two steps forward, and then hid behind the big stone pillar. Jordy hid opposite her. There was no voice, and the corridor was quiet. In a moment, footsteps were heard. The two of them looked at each other. Gloria decided to attack the man first because she thought Jordy still had wounds on him. However, she did not expect that Jordy would start the attack more quickly than her. There was only a frightening shriek, and Jordy kicked the man again. The man in the cap fell to the ground in an instant and let out another frightening shriek. Regardless of the scream, Jordy stepped directly on the man's back, leaving the man pressed tightly against the ground.
