Love of Tomorrow (Vania Greyson) novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Pretending to Be In Pain

At the thought of this, the group of punks turned around in an attempt to run away.

At this moment, Larry arrived at the scene with those from the police department.

Seeing Hanson surrounded by a group of punks, the chief of the police department was instantly frightened out of his wits and immediately said to his officers, “Subdue and arrest all of them! How unforgivable of them to publicly commit robbery!”

Dozens of policemen captured the punks with a few swift cuffs and kicks.

The chief then hurriedly ran up to Hanson and apologized, “President Luke, I’m really sorry that such an abominable incident happened under my jurisdiction. I’ll find out everything and give you an explanation as soon as possible.” Then, he looked at Hanson and Vania worriedly, “President Luke, Ms. Greyson, are you two alright?”

To be honest, he felt like crying. In just a couple of days, the police department had received reports of two cases about the couple. The danger brought by the incident last time had just been solved, but before he could heave a sigh of relief, the police department received another call tonight. These punks are really tired of living! Of all people, why do they have to rob President Luke and Ms. Greyson? Are they trying to suffocate me? He had cursed these punks in his heart; now, he was praying that the couple before him were not injured.

Vania nodded her head in response. “I’m fine.” As she recalled how Hanson had stepped before her to shield her with his body, she asked softly, “What about you?”

Now that his date had been spoiled by the few hoodlums, his anger was welling up. A frosty Hanson responded, “If you can’t find out who the real culprit is, you better resign.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll definitely find out who was behind this as soon as possible.” The chief promised as he broke out in a cold sweat. Still, he had to express his care for the couple. “These bad guys came at you two in large numbers. President Luke, are you sure that you’re not injured after fending them off alone? How about I send you to the hospital for a checkup so that I can put my mind to rest?”

He was still clasping his hand but his inner displeasure earlier had vanished, thanks to Vania’s concern. “Are you so worried about me?” The smug smile on his face was visible under the bright moonlight.

“How can you still be so crafty with words at a time like this? I see that you’re fine now. Well, in that case, I’ll leave you alone. I’ve got to go home to take a shower and sleep.” She turned around and pretended to leave.

How could Hanson possibly let her go? In a theatrical way unlike his usual steady self, he immediately cried out, “Ouch! It hurts!”

With that, Vania immediately turned her head. “What’s wrong? Does it hurt now?”
