CHAPTER 867: CHAPTER 867: ENCOUNTERING THE TRAFFICKER SYNDICATE AGAIN

After waiting for almost an hour, Nora Northwood still hadn’t seen anyone arrive.

Meanwhile, she called Jasper Sinclair several times, but no one answered.

Just as Nora was about to head back to the old house alone, she received a message from Louis Hayes.

On the phone, Louis sounded anxious: "Ma’am, something unexpected happened, so Mr. Sinclair couldn’t pick you up as planned. I hope you can stay calm and listen to what I have to say."

Nora’s first thought was that something had happened to Peach Bell.

With one hand, she searched for her car keys while holding her phone in the other, waiting to hear more.

"Mr. Sinclair encountered a crime syndicate, was stabbed, and is currently in the hospital emergency room."

In an instant, Nora’s mind exploded with a "bang."

Louis’s voice continued, giving her the hospital’s address, "The roads outside are very slippery. For your safety, I’ve already sent a driver to VK. He’ll be downstairs in five minutes, along with two bodyguards."

"I understand."

Nora’s whole body went rigid. She didn’t even know how she ended the call or how she got out of the VK building.

The snow was still falling.

Nora’s fingertips trembling uncontrollably, unable to calm down.

As she neared the hospital, Raina Sinclair called her.

"Nora, why haven’t you and Jasper come back yet?"

Upon hearing this, Nora realized the Sinclair Family was still unaware of Jasper Sinclair’s accident.

She thought that Grandma Sinclair wouldn’t be able to handle this and tentatively asked, "Aunt, is Grandma nearby?"

"The old lady is in the kitchen, busy with everyone."

"There’s something you should keep from Grandma for now."

With the conversation reaching this point, even if Raina was slow to react, she sensed something was wrong.

She asked, "Did something happen to Jasper?"

Nora responded with a difficult "Mmm," "I heard he was stabbed and is currently in the hospital. I’m on my way there."

By the end, her voice was choking with tears.

At this moment, Raina was also losing her composure, "Which hospital? I’m heading over now."

Nora repeated the address Louis gave her and reminded, "When you come, don’t let Grandma notice anything amiss. Let’s not tell Grandma about this for now."

After the call ended, Raina left the old house and headed to the hospital.

During this time of day, the roads weren’t congested anymore, and the car responsible for taking Nora to the hospital had already changed to snow tires.

The group reached the hospital in just twenty minutes.

Originally, the first person the ambulance intended to contact was Nora.

Before they could make the call, Louis had already phoned Jasper Sinclair.

He had been closely monitoring the movements of the crime syndicate, fearing this day would come.

This time, he had discovered the location of Boss King, who was in Stanton City, and wanted to warn his boss to be careful.

But unfortunately, he was a step too late.

When Nora found the emergency room, Jasper Sinclair had already finished with the life-saving measures.

Louis was communicating with the doctors, and the Sinclair Family’s private doctors were arriving one by one.

Nora went straight to see Jasper Sinclair. His clothes had been changed into sterile hospital garb, with his chest exposed.

A layer upon layer of gauze was wrapped around his heart area.

Apart from that, there were no other wounds, clearly showing the attack was aimed at his life.
