A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 83: The Gap Between People


Two hours later.

Three medical support teams organized by the county hospital, County Radiance Hospital, and County Traditional Medicine Hospital arrived at Sunglow Town Health Center.

The rescue began immediately.

Preliminary diagnosis.

Denton Quincy has multiple bone fractures and multiple soft tissue contusions.

But these are not the reasons for his coma.

The reason he hasn't woken up until now.

Is because his brain suffered a severe injury.

According to the medical conditions in Stillwater County, they are not capable of performing craniotomy.

So, they can only conduct simple conservative treatment. As for whether he can wake up, or when, it's hard to say.

Coming out from Denton Quincy's ward.

Dirk Carter also looked exhausted.

He looked at his watch; it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

It seems, it's a good thing Denton Quincy can't wake up today; at least Tristan Reid won't take any action for the time being.

He had just sat down on a chair in the lobby.

A lunch box was extended in front of him.

Looking up, it was a stunning face.

But wearing hospital attire, leaning on a crutch.

"Have some food."

Dorothy Zechariah said with a smile.

For some reason, seeing this face, Dirk Carter felt much better.

His whole mood lightened up.

"Why aren't you resting yet?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dorothy Zechariah smiled warmly, sat down beside him, opened the lunch box, and said, "I slept too much during the day and can't sleep at night. I saw you were busy all day from the ward, so I asked someone to prepare some food, the conditions are limited, don't mind it."

The lunch box in front of him held an array of exquisite side dishes.

Dirk Carter indeed felt a bit hungry.

So he didn't care much else.

In no time, he finished all the food in the lunch box.

"Enough? If not, I'll ask them to make more."

Dorothy Zechariah asked.

Dirk Carter repeatedly waved his hand, burped and said, "It's enough, I'm quite full now."

Upon hearing this, Dorothy Zechariah appeared very pleased.

"Where's Colwyn? Didn't he say he would keep you company, why are you out here alone with a crutch?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dorothy Zechariah snorted coldly and said, "Him? How could he bear to sleep on a health center bed, he went to the hotel to rest a long time ago. Don't misunderstand, he's not my boyfriend."

"Not? I read in many magazines that you're supposed to be in a family alliance."

Upon these words.

Dorothy Zechariah's expression grew forlorn.

She said, "Dad and Uncle Ford do have that intention, but I don't want that. I believe my love and marriage should be determined by myself. Dad gave me some money, said if I can earn, I can control my own life, thus, I came to Sunglow Town."

"So, it was you who wanted to invest in Sunglow Town's tea?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dorothy Zechariah nodded.

"I've studied tea ceremony for a while, and unintentionally tasted the tea from Sunglow Town. I felt it was quite good, so I investigated where it came from. To my surprise, such good tea hasn't a brand. I thought of creating a brand. If Sunglow Town's tea stands out, I am confident it will sell well in the market."

Dorothy Zechariah said.

Investing in Sunglow Town not only marked her first decision but was the only way to break free from family constraints.

If successful, she could regain control of her life.

If not, she promised her father to go back home and accept his arrangements.

Unexpectedly, though, off to a bad start, before even beginning the investigation, she was bitten by a snake.

Hearing this.

Dirk Carter found it somewhat amusing.

If a poor person fails in business, they face total ruin.

As for wealthy people, failure means going back to inherit a billion-dollar fortune.

"What about Colwyn? I think he likes you very much?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dorothy Zechariah smiled and said, "It's not me he likes; it's my family's money. Titan Group's cash flow has issues lately. If the arranged marriage goes through, my dad naturally won't be indifferent. Those earlier rumors were deliberately spread by the Ford Family to boost shareholder confidence and facilitate better financing."

So that's how it is.

Dirk Carter somewhat understood.

On this silent night.

The two sat together, discussing life, dreams, and the future.

Dorothy Zechariah found Dirk Carter interesting and responsible.

While Dirk Carter suddenly found Dorothy Zechariah different from other wealthy daughters, she wasn't capricious nor domineering, but also had her helplessness.

Midst of their delightful conversation.

At the suite door of Sunglow's only hotel, The Sunglow Guesthouse, there was a knock.

Inside the room.

Colwyn Ford was watching television in boredom.

Hearing the knock, he impatiently asked, "Who is it?"

No answer from the door.

The knocking continued.

Colwyn Ford got a bit annoyed.

He rushed to the door, opened it fiercely; upon almost swearing, he saw a woman standing there with her long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a deep V-neck tight spaghetti-strap dress.

The woman was quite attractive.

Big eyes, sharp chin, slightly charming.

The neckline was very low, with two bunny ears almost leaping out of her clothes.

Her skirt was also very short.

Practically level with her thighs.

Her long legs wrapped in black stockings.

Glimmering seductively in the dim light.

"Who are you..."

Colwyn Ford licked his lips and asked.

The woman brushed her hair with her hand, softly asked, "Is this Colwyn?"

"I am, and you are?"

Colwyn Ford just asked.

The woman smiled sweetly, placed her fair arms on Colwyn Ford's shoulders, cozily leaned into him, and whispered into his ear, "Colwyn, I'm here to serve you."

With that.

She took a few steps forward, into the room, her foot slightly hooked in heels, closing the door behind her.

Through the long night.

Colwyn Ford, already bored.

His playful nature couldn't resist such loneliness; the woman's presence instantly captivated him.

Like a ballroom dance, the two embraced and moved to the bed with entwined gazes.

The woman pushed lightly against Colwyn Ford's chest.

Colwyn Ford sat on the bed.

The woman stepped back a few steps, standing before the TV, twisting her body like a water snake.

Long legs, willow waist, each smile stirring Colwyn Ford's heart.

This was not the end.

After completing a dance.

The woman let one strap of her dress slip down.

Revealing creamy shoulders.

She seductively licked her shoulder, then the other strap fell.

Body continued to sway.

The dress began moving downward from her chest.

Colwyn Ford stared in awe.

Gazing fixedly at the woman's body, as the plump bunny ears emerged, he swallowed, unable to restrain himself.

Just as he prepared to pounce on her.

She welcomed him instead.

Letting the garment hang at her waist, spreading her legs, she sat on Colwyn Ford's lap.
