Chapter 1122 – 1122 Professor Crawford Is Injured
“What did you say?!” Flynn immediately turned pale, and before even asking why she was injured, he frantically asked, “Which hospital is Professor Crawford currently going to?”
“DC Hospital!”
“Okay, I’ll head over right now!”
After hanging up the phone, Flynn’s face had turned completely gloomy.
!!
Just a few seconds ago, he had promised Lucas that he would never let anything happen to Gemma Crawford. But he contradicted himself almost immediately. Gemma was injured and sent to the hospital.
Lucas also heard the conversation over the phone, and his face immediately darkened. “Is Professor Crawford injured? What’s going on?”
Flynn didn’t know how to explain it, but he still hurriedly said, “I’ll go to the hospital to take a look now and then ask the project leader what happened.”
Lucas said with a frown, “I’ll go with you.”
Gemma was advanced in years, but she was injured for helping him design Stardust City. No matter what, Lucas had to go to the hospital to see what was going on.
While walking out, Lucas took out his phone and made a call. “Maddy, a senior I know has been injured, and she’s being admitted to DC Hospital. Please go there and help me take a look at the situation!”
Since it was a personal call from Lucas, Maddy knew that the injured person was definitely not an ordinary person, so she agreed immediately. “Alright, I’ll wait for you at the hospital.”
Although Lucas still didn’t know how Gemma got injured, Maddy was an expert with excellent medical skills, so regardless of what injuries Gemma had, he was sure that things would be better with Maddy around.
On the way to the hospital, Flynn blamed himself and said, “Lucas, it’s all my fault. I thought I had done a good job of protecting Professor Crawford, but I didn’t expect I would still end up letting her get injured…”
Lucas shook his head. “No one meant for this to happen. Let’s go to the hospital to find out the details first.”
Actually, he couldn’t blame Flynn for this.
After all, Gemma was Flynn’s professor in college, and he was the one who had recommended her to take on the Stardust City project. Now that she had encountered a mishap, he definitely felt guilty.
Besides, he had already sent several bodyguards to protect her around the clock, which was the best basic security he could provide. The fact that she was still injured could only show that her perpetrator was even more fierce.
Lucas had a rough idea of who the perpetrator was.
If it was that force who did it, it would be impossible to protect Gemma even if Flynn had sent 20 bodyguards, let alone a few bodyguards.
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at DC Hospital.
At the entrance of the emergency room, a middle-aged man in a black suit greeted Lucas and Flynn as soon as he saw them.
“Mr. Gray, Mr. Davis, you’re finally here!”
The middle-aged man was the head of engineering for the construction of the Stardust Corporation’s Stardust City project in the eastern suburbs.
“How is Professor Crawford’s situation now? What happened?” Flynn immediately asked in a deep voice.
The project leader said, “Professor Crawford is still undergoing emergency rescue, and her condition is unknown. But she was pushed by someone and hit her head. So… we have to wait for the doctor to come out to know if there are any serious problems.
“Here’s the thing. We were supposed to begin construction according to plan today with Professor Crawford instructing on site. But more than twenty people suddenly came with menacing expressions and forced us to stop work. They even injured many workers on the scene.
“Professor Crawford was enraged, so she got into a conflict with those people and told them to leave, but they suddenly attacked her!
“The five bodyguards you arranged to protect Professor Crawford were also seriously injured, and they’re also in the hospital.
The project leader quickly recounted everything that had happened. There were even some footprints and bruises on his body. He had obviously been beaten up too.
Flynn’s face became extremely cloudy, and he said through gritted teeth, “Did they mention who they were?”
The project leader said fearfully, “They… they said they’re from Club Illuma and that the land where our construction is ongoing belongs to their boss. They insisted that we leave and make s.p.a.ce for them!”
When Flynn heard this, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.
Club Illuma?
Although Flynn didn’t know who the owner of Club Illuma was, Lucas already understood.
Club Illuma was the place Ashton was in charge of.
In that case, things were obvious.
After he bought the land in the eastern suburbs at the auction not long ago, he happened to meet Ashton and his men during a site visit with Flynn and Gemma.
After suffering a loss at the hands of Lucas, Ashton had tried to buy the land from Lucas at a high price of 1.7 billion dollars, but Lucas didn’t agree.
Lucas and Ashton had also gotten into a conflict at Club Illuma yesterday. Lucas eventually knocked Ashton unconscious, and the two old men guarding him couldn’t do anything to Lucas.
If it wasn’t because Lucas didn’t want to fall out completely with the Hills, who were a royal family branch, he would have long killed Ashton.
Unfortunately, Lucas spared Ashton, but the Hills had a death wish and actually sent people to hurt Gemma.
Lucas slowly narrowed his eyes, and an incredibly terrifying murderous aura surged from his body instantly. “The Hills and Ashton Hill, if something really happens to Professor Crawford, I will make sure the Hills die with her!”
If Ashton and the Hills found trouble with Lucas, he would be able to handle it regardless of what tricks they used.
But they actually sent a group of thugs to injure a woman in her seventies and even got her sent to the emergency room with her life in danger. This behavior was simply beastly, and Lucas couldn’t tolerate it at all!
The terrifying killing intent Lucas exuded made Flynn, who was standing beside him, feel a chill in his heart.
Flynn asked cautiously, “Lucas, do you know who the people who injured Professor Crawford are? Are they related to the Hills?”
Lucas nodded. “That’s right. Do you still remember the people from the Hills we met when we visited the site the other day? Club Illuma belongs to the Hills, and the person in charge of the club is the Ashton Hills we met before!”
