I transmigrated and got a husband and a son!-Chapter 1219: Where the hell is Dominic Zhu?
Chapter 1219: Where the hell is Dominic Zhu?
Two days had passed since the battle ended.
All the Reapers had arrived in the Silvers Territory. The injured members of the Interpol and those other injured men received top-notch medical help. Everything slowly quieted down with some little problems here and there. But with the four families coming together, things had been getting resolved quickly.
Ivy, who was still on the field for important matters, and Elliot were also helping with the best they could.
"You should still be resting more!" Nigel panicked as he watched Bear sit on the edge of the bed. "Didn’t you hear you attending? You might’ve incredible strength, but you’re getting older!"
"Even in my eighties, I’ll still be stronger than a twenty-year-old you." Bear glanced up at the Oxley Family’s butler, who had been constantly in his ward to check on him. "How’s Tiger? Is he alright?"
"He was well-rested!" Nigel cleared his throat.
Remembering that time they were still in the mansion, Tiger met with a little accident. Because Bear had fallen short behind them at that time, Tiger had to hold off a collapsing wall on them. As he did so, Tiger got burned because of the hot surface and heavyweight.
Tiger broke his arm because of that. Hence, Bear had to carry him until they got out.
It was also the reason Nigel didn’t feel insulted by Bear’s previous remarks. For him, it was the truth.
"And Hera?" Bear massaged his shoulder, taking off the IVs in the back of his hand as they were on the way.
Nigel didn’t answer, earning a look from Bear.
The silence was enough for Bear to understand that Hera had yet to wake up. Considering she bled to the point where half of her face was covered with blood and she inhaled smoke for a long time, he wouldn’t be surprised if something went wrong.
"Where are you going?" Nigel prompted, as Bear rose from his spot.
"Take me to her. I want to see her," said Bear, almost commanding him.
"But —" Nigel bit his tongue when a ruthless gleam shone in Bear’s eyes. "Fine. But you explain to Master Axel why you are out here."
"Axel?"
Nigel sighed. "He’s been worried about you and would constantly come here in the past two days. He told me that I look after you unless I want to anger Hera."
’So, that’s why Nigel had been here?’ Bear thought, but in a way, he was also moved by Axel. "That kid... he’s always like that."
Back when everyone in the Zhu Family was hospitalized, he kept hopping from ward to ward to make sure everyone was okay. Although Axel had matured, he still had that caring and pure nature of him.
"Don’t worry. I’ll explain it to Axel," he reassured. "Now, take me to Hera’s ward."

"Bro, why are you up!?" Axel gasped in horror, watching Dominic take off his hospital gown and wear pants. "You should be resting more!"
"You just said I’ve been sleeping for two days now, Axel," Dominic zipped up without looking at his brother. "Did you call home?"
Axel frowned. "Of course! I have to call Basti and Miri. They’ve been worried and want to come here."
Dominic looked back at Axel. "What did you tell them?"
"Of course, I told them they can’t!" Axel grumpily yelled. "This place might be nice, but I can’t let them come here when gangsters like the reapers are around! Who knows what they’re going to do with them!?"
The second those words rolled out of Axel’s mouth, Elliot was already by the door.
"Oh." Elliot cleared his throat, a little nervous because of Axel’s voice.
All the core members of the reapers were outside, just right next to the ward where Hera was. Hence, he glanced at the people outside, only to see their dark expressions turn stiff.
"I’m sorry I came in when no one answered." Elliot cleared his throat and quickly closed the door. "CEO Zhu, the reapers are only outside. If you want to keep your voice —"
"But it’s true! Those guys are nothing but rogues who terrify children!" Axel fumed.
How dare those guys go behind his back and steal his title of best uncle?!
Elliot felt helpless, casting Dominic a look. The latter didn’t seem to care, as he wore a simple black shirt.
’Considering Dominic and Hera weren’t getting along well, Axel and the other members of the reapers won’t,’ Elliot mentally nodded. ’I hope Lukas arrives.’
As if his prayers were heard, another knock came from the door and revealed Lukas.
"I heard you’ve regained consciousness," said Lukas as soon as his eyes fell on Dominic. "How are you feeling? Your attending will come here to check up on you and..."
"Where is she?" Dominic cut him mid-sentence with a flat and cold tone.
Lukas and Elliot looked at each other.
"Minister Zhu, you just recovered from your injuries. Why don’t you wait until your attending comes and see if you’re good to go?" Elliot suggested, and Lukas nodded.
"Mr. Dunkell is right," Lukas added. "Hera Cruel is fine and —"
Dominic didn’t wait for their answer as the growing worry in his heart rose. Hence, he marched in their direction as fast as he could, walking past the two like a bolt of lightning.
"Wait!" Elliot panicked, twisting his ankle as he quickly followed Dominic outside.
Lukas and Axel also trailed behind, only to see Dominic stop in the hallway.
The moment Dominic came out of his room, the Reapers waiting outside looked in his direction.
Seeing this, Elliot and Lukas exchanged looks. They couldn’t help but gulp, sensing the growing tension in the hallway.
Lukas nodded at Elliot as if telling the man he got things under control. Even so, Elliot was worried the more he tried to observe the stifling silence hung in the air. The Reapers outside Hera’s room were complete — even Primo was there, and they were all looking at Dominic and them as if they were ready to fight.
"Rogue?" Fig mumbled, but because of the silence, everyone heard him loud and clear. "We are called a rogue...?"
Joker sneered. "What a pathetic fool."
"Uh..." Tiger just grunted as he massaged his neck. "He got a lot of nerve, huh?"
"Tch." Moose also snorted, glaring daggers at Axel. "What a shallow fool."
Primo glanced at the guys with him and then at Axel’s sour expression. "The hell?"
Wolf and Ram just shrugged nonchalantly.
But unlike them who knew the real tension in the hallway, Elliot and Lukas had taken this as simple animosity between the Zhu and the Reapers. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Okay." Lukas cleared his throat. "How about —"
At the same time Lukas spoke, Dominic took a step but also stopped when the door in front of the Reapers suddenly flew open. Everyone halted and froze, gazing at the person by the door.
There, holding the jamb with a dim countenance and a pair of eyes that were glinting mercilessly, was the ruthless Hera Cruel.
"Where..." she breathed out, her voice exuding murderous intent. "... the hell is Dominic Zhu?"
Sensing the terrifying aura of the newly awoken demoness and the bone-chilling tone of her voice, Elliot and Lukas panicked.
