207 Chapter 207: Saving Caleb Lockwood’s Life

Serena was speechless at the message, feeling that working by Caleb Lockwood’s side wasn’t easy for Mr. Miller. 1

“When mypany grows bigger and stronger, should I try to headhunt Mr. Miller as my assistant?”

The thought suddenly crossed Serena’s mind.

But considering the sry Caleb was paying Mr. Miller, she felt that she couldn’t afford it at this stage.

Originally, Serena had no intention of attending the Lockwood Group’s centennial celebration, even though Caleb had informed her in

advance.

This was why she didn’t want to ept any shares of the Lockwood Group before the divorce, no matter what.

Once she became a shareholder, there would inevitably be entanglements with the Lockwood Group.

Considering Mr. Miller’s job security, Serena gathered her things and headed downstairs.

Downstairs, the emperor blue Bentley was eye–catching, like a starry sapphire, even under the deep night sky.

Serena paused in astonishment.

But soon she felt it was reasonable for Mr. Miller to be driving Caleb’s car.

After all, Mr. Miller often served as Caleb’s driver.

“Sorry for making youe all this way, Mr. Miller.” fn744a Th?s chapter is updated by find?novel/fn744a

Serena opened the passenger door, got in the car, and turned her head to see her “driver” in the driver’s seat-

“Caleb Lockwood?”

Serena was shocked.

Caleb nced at her coolly and said ndly, “Buckle up.”

“Oh… okay…”

While buckling her seatbelt, Serena was puzzled.

She distinctly remembered Caleb saying in the message that he sent Mr. Miller to pick her up, so why did Caleb himselfe?

After all, tonight was the Lockwood Group’s centennial celebration, and Caleb, instead of overseeing the event, personally came to be

her driver?

This just didn’t make sense!

And although she was a shareholder of the Lockwood Group now, she held no significant position for the group.

No matter how she thought about it, Serena couldn’t understand why Caleb personally came to pick her up.

Could it simply be that he wanted to see her again?

Serena shrugged with a smile,

They hadn’t been driving long when suddenly someone dashed out from the side. Fortunately, Caleb braked in time.

However, the person fell to the ground with a thud.

Serena’s eyes widened,

Was this… a staged ident?

Caleb frowned and got out of the car almost simultaneously with Serena.

Standing at the front of the car, Serena spoke first:

“Are you okay? I felt like we didn’t hit you…”

As Serena bent down to check the person’s condition, the person suddenly pulled a knife from their pocket and stabbed it into Caleb’s

abdomen, who was shielding Serena.

“Caleb!”

Serena used all her strength to support the copsing Caleb.

A massive amount of blood flowed from the wound, staining Caleb’s and Serena’s clothes red.

Caleb was in so much pain that he broke into a sweat, his consciousness gradually fading.

“Caleb, Caleb, hang in there!”

Serena couldn’t be bothered about the assant getting away; right now, saving Caleb’s life was the priority.

She pressed hard on the wound to stop the bleeding, then called 911.

The dispatcher told her ambnces were dispatched, but only one could make it over, and it would take about 15 minutes due to

roadwork causing massive traffic.

Serena hung up the phone, quickly put Caleb into the car, and drove his Bentley at lightning speed to the nearest hospital.

The Lockwood Group’s grand hall.

From the Lockwood family onwards, other guests began to notice something was amiss.

Where did Caleb go?

Tonight was the Lockwood Group’s centennial celebration; Caleb was there earlier, yet he vanished, and it’s been a while.

“What’s going on with Caleb?”

Lance Lockwood asked Arthur Lockwood, but Arthur was just as confused.

They called for Mr. Miller, who didn’t dare to hide anything from Lance and Arthur, knowing Caleb went to pick up Serena.

Initially, Caleb instructed him to pick up Serena, but why the sudden change of ns, he wasn’t sure either.

“You mean Caleb personally went to pick up Serena?”

Arthur’s voice changed.

This was beyond surprising for him.

And an ominous sign.

However, for Lance, it was quite the opposite.

Hearing that Caleb drove himself to pick up Serena, Lance’s eyes lit up for once.

“How long has he been gone?”

“Well…”

Furrowing his brows, Mr. Miller wore a worried expression.

By this time, Caleb should’ve already returned with Serena.

“Something’s wrong! Chairman!”

Lance’s assistant ran over in a panic but immediately feigned calm upon meeting Lance’s gaze.

No matter what happened, even if the sky were to fall, the Lockwood family couldn’t panic in front of so many clients.

The assistant whispered hurriedly into Lance’s ear, causing his expression to change dramatically.

At the hospital, Caleb finally woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Lance, Arthur, Lilian Young, Patrick Rhodes, and ire Shaw gathered around him.

Everyone looked at him with a mix of worry and joy.

This time, his memory wasn’t fragmented.

He remembered driving to pick up Serena, then getting into a staged ident, and getting stabbed by the other person.

Caleb blinked and weakly spoke:

“Where’s Serena?”

“How could you ask about that jinx first? If it weren’t for her, you’d never get hurt this badly,”

grumbled Lilian Young from the side, disgruntled.

“It’s not like Serena stabbed Caleb herself. If you want to me someone, me the assant,”

Lance righteously countered.

“And if Serena hadn’t made the prompt decision to drive Caleb to the hospital, who knows what might have happened now! The doctors even said, thankfully he was brought in time, or Caleb could have bled out and been in real danger!”

With Lance speaking up for Serena, Lilian did not dare vent her anger on her anymore.

ire stood quietly in the background, not daring to utter a word.

At first, this incident seemed perfect for her to stir things up, but considering Lance’s protective stance towards Serena, coupled with

her declining status in Caleb’s outlook recently, it wasn’t the time to intervene.

Caleb was silent for a moment and asked:

“Where’s Serena?”

He repeated the question.

Arthur sighed first.

His expression didn’t look good from the outset, hearing that Caleb personally went to get Serena, and worsened on learning about

Caleb taking a stab for her.

Arthur rarely agreed with Lilian, but on this point that Serena was bad luck, he concurred.

“Serena is in the hallway…”

Caleb lifted his gaze.

The patient was weak, and so when his eyes brightened, it was very noticeable.

In the hallway, Serena was as quiet as a statue.

Perhaps because hospital corridors were inherently quiet.

Serena sat on a bench, her hands sped together.

Beside her was Caleb’s hospital room.

This scene pulled Serena back to memories of her and Caleb’s reunion years ago.

Back then, she too sat quietly outside the hospital room, worriedly waiting for Caleb to wake up.
