Chapter 949 Skyler Gets Furious
Once the car came to a stop, Matthew dashed toward the emergency room with Veronica in his arms.
After several checkups, Skyler approached Matthew and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Roni is a
lucky woman. She'll be fine."
Matthew did not reply and stood silently on the side, whereas Skyler sat on the bench and waited.
Then, he suddenly thought of Shirley and called someone from One Piece Restaurant. When the call
went through, he immediately inquired, "Dean, where's Shirley? Why isn't she picking up my calls?"
"Uhm… She…" The person on the other end stammered, his tone sounding off.
Shooting up from his seat, Skyler exclaimed, "What happened? Did something happen to her?" His
heart raced, and his eyelids kept twitching as he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
"She's injured."

in his throat, causing his panic to surge till his breathing became difficult.
"It's… quite serious. S-She's at the East Street Hospital."
Since the East Street Hospital was near One Piece Restaurant, Shirley was immediately admitted there
after the accident.
"East Street Hospital?" Skyler was pondering where that hospital was until he realized he was there.
"I'm right here. Which floor?"
"Block C, room 407."
"Alright. I'll come right over." After hanging up the call, he looked at Matthew, who urged him to set off
instantly. "Go. I'll bring Roni over once she's out."
"Okay." Skyler nodded and immediately headed downstairs with anxiety. When he found Block C, he
went to the fourth floor and found room 407.
Subsequently, he saw Dean Gesner from One Piece Restaurant and the others inside the single ward.
All of them were people Matthew had arranged at the restaurant. Despite their prominent combat skills,
they failed to defeat Crayson.
"Young Master Skyler, you're here." Dean greeted him before quietly looking at Shirley, who was lying
on the bed receiving fluids.
The unconscious woman had her face bandaged from her left cheek to her right temple at an angle,
covering her right eye. Feeling his heart sink, Skyler noticed her ashen face and lips, so he asked, "W-
What happened to her? Why is her face bandaged?"
Dean looked at the people beside him and hinted at them with his eyes, wanting them to explain the
incident. However, they either turned their heads away or left the room. Ostensibly, none was willing to
break the bad news.
"I asked a f*cking question!" roared Skyler as he grabbed Dean's collar.

reply, "It was Crayson. While he was escaping, Shirley tried to stop him, but the dagger in his hand
slashed across her face, almost a… a four-inch gash. She was heavily injured, and the doctor said…
said… said she… is disfigured."
When they charged into the room at One Piece Restaurant, they saw that Shirley was already
wounded, so they could not see what Crayson had used against her. Therefore, the dagger was merely
a guess.
Skyler frowned and released Dean's collar before stumbling back. "Disfigured?" He turned to look at
the young woman on the bed, and the scene of her pure and adorable appearance appeared in his
mind as he wondered, She's such a good-looking lady. How can she be disfigured?
"Where's the doctor? Get the doctor over here now!" he ordered.
