VENUS REVENGE
Chapter 31. Chester Injured

Shadow checked his small bag and prepared to be taken straight away, if later Hugo actually drove him away. He sat in the room waiting. Sharpen the ears to hear the sound of helicopter propellers over the house.

Frisia soon returned without knocking on the door and asking for permission. Shadow just sighed. “Barusan Hugo said he'd go straight away with his grandfather, so wouldn't go home. I think you can go for a minute. Origin---”

“Originally what?” sambar Shadow fast.

“Originally you are back before seven!” Frisia gave her terms.

Shadow was silent for a moment. Just for a second. Then he grabbed the bag and nodded in agreement. Both of them came out of the room. Shadow was immediately allowed to leave when Frisia who asked the guards opened the door.

Shadow looked for a taxi while walking towards the resort he had previously visited. I wish there were enough taxis there to drive him home.

It's just, it's not all what he thought. The day began late, making visitors to the resort had reduced activity outside. There were no taxis waiting at the gate. After waiting for some time, a taxi finally passed by. Shadow immediately stopped and climbed up. He had absolutely no worries had it not been an ordinary taxi.

The taxi was running after getting their destination address. Shadow sent Bratt a message. “Fetch me in front of the city park! I'm heading there!” the message.

After a while there was no reply, he had to call Bratt. He waited a little before his phone was picked up. “Yes, Miss,” Bratt said from across there.

“Read my message, no?” sergeant Shadow.

“A minute, Miss.” Bratt made no noise other than a knock on his phone.

“Will I, do it immediately, Miss. Wait there!” he said hurry and turn off the phone.

Shadow was calm afterwards. Though a little regretful of having to wake the old man up.

In half an hour, Samai Taxi in the city park. Shadow paid for it and walked away quickly. He circled the park while checking his cell phone. Bratt said the car had rolled to pick him up.

A phone call came in. It was from the driver at the residence. “Yes. Have you arrived?” ask Shadow.

“I don't see you, Miss,” he said.

Shadow looked around. “I am at the east entrance, near the dolphin fountain,” Shadow replied quickly.

“Wait a minute, I'll be there.”

Shadow waited and he already saw a flickering light beam that was slowly pointing at him. Then the car stopped right in front of him.

“Nona!” The driver got out of the car to open the door. But Shadow is moving faster. He opened the door and went straight in.

“Go home!” his orders.

“Good, Miss.” The car is sliding fast. The deserted roads made some vehicles move faster than usual.

A few moments later, they arrived home. Bratt opened the door when he heard the sound of a car coming into the yard. Shadow stepped in and thanked the old man.

“Where is my father?” ask Shadow.

“Master? It's in her room, Miss.” Bratt is shocked to see Shadow walking towards Chester's room.

“Nona, Sir is on break. If there is any business, ask tomorrow morning only,” prevent it with a low tone of voice.

Shadow could see the worry in the old man's eyes. Bratt's arm pulled away from Chester's bedroom door. “Do you hide something from me?” search Shadow.

“Nothing, Miss.” Bratt shook his head, trying to convince Shadow.

“If you're not honest, I'll go in there and see how things are!” threat Shadow's.

Both Bratt's shoulders went straight down, He felt helpless. “Master injured in his past mission.”

“It must have been severe at first, as Tuan had been hospitalized before. He doesn't want to make us all sad,” added Bratt.

Shadow no longer listened to Bratt's words. His hand had already turned the door handle carefully. Open the door and look in the room. Chester lay quietly on his bed. Shadow stepped slowly, so as not to wake the man up. He sat on the big sofa that was there and guarded from there.

Bratt notices that Shadow is not bothering. Then closed the door after seeing the wave of Shadow's hand telling him to leave.

There's nothing Shadow can do tonight but wait. I hope Chester wakes up early. At least, now his heart was a little calm, as the man was already able to sleep soundly.

He sent Bratt a message to get the car ready at half-six. He had to return again to the Springhills hill before seven in the morning.

“Good, Miss,” Reply Bratt.

Shadow extended her legs over a leg brace and slept while hugging a small pillow.

“Are you worried about me?”

Chester patted Shadow's arm slowly.  The adopted daughter woke up and was a little surprised to see Chester nearby.

“How are you doing? Bratt said you were hurt!” anxiety clearly emanated in Shadow's eyes.

“Just got shot in the shoulder. It'sit's nothing. Why are you guys so big?”

“Your voice on the phone is like hiding something. It makes me suspicious. Why not just be honest? So I can feel calm there!” pissed Shadow.

“I us by hiding this you can work quietly,” Chester denied.

“You're mistaken!” Shadow is getting upset.

“I'm sorry. This time I had a daughter. I didn't know that a daughter could worry so much about her father. I'll change the way I think from now on.” Chester relented and admitted his mistake.

“You promise? I also have a father this time. I don't want you to think of me as a stranger who just needs to be helped. I really want to be a good boy.” Shadow's voice choked.

Chester hugged her with an uninjured hand. “I'm sorry. I won't hide anything else to you.”

“With such injured hands, should not one of the male servants accompany you there?” Shadow gave advice.

Chester looked helplessly at his daughter. “Good. I'll bring a waiter and a guard, too. Are you calm now?”

“I'm calm now.” Shadow nodded. He saw his watch.

“I have to go back there. I left last night, not with Hugo's permission, but his wife. He asked me to come back before seven.”

“Oh, it's good you hurry.” Chester glanced at his watch as well. “Call Bratt to prepare car.

“I already reminded him last night.” Shadow stood up from his seat and walked out of the room. “We will talk on the phone after I get in the car!” said.

Shadow went up to his room and took out binoculars from there. Take a few simple change of clothes and put them in a bag. Then he came out again.

“Nona, car is waiting.” Bratt was waiting under the stairs.

“Good, I'm leaving. Prepare one capable servant and one guard to accompany father to the island!” he said as it passed.

“Good, Miss!” Chester nodded and waited until the car carrying Shadow disappeared, only to close the door.
