Chapter 217
Oneida went straight back to Garrison Mansion by taxi.
She walked into her bedroom, drew back the curtains, and stared at the field of haby’s breath in a daze.
After looking at it for a while, she gradually calmed down.
Somehow, she was dying to see Jackson. She wanted to see him right away.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Oneida opened the door and walked out of her bedroom.
She walked straight to Jackson’s study and knocked on the door
No one answered.
ne answered.
She knocked again but still, no one
Just then. Carlos passed by slowly.
Oneida stopped him and asked, “Where is Mr. Bane?”
Hearing that, Carlos bowed respectfully towards Oneida and said. “Mr. Bane is out for work. He hasn’t come back yet.”
Really? Didn’t he say he didn’t like to go out?
Where could Jackson be? Oneida thought.
Without further questions, Oneida pursed her lips and nodded slightly. “I see.”
Oneida didn’t see Jackson all afternoon.
He didn’t come back until she fell asleep.
Late at night, Oneida, who was asleep, was suddenly awakened by a noise.
She had always been a light sleeper who was very alert, so the moment she heard the noise, she opened her eyes instinctively.
Someone was hurrying down the hallway.
Being alert. Oneida got out of her bed immediately.
She opened the door of her bedroom and saw under the dim light that a group of people were rushing into Jackson’s
bedroom
Oneida suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, she walked out of her bedroom without hesitation and went straight to Jackson’s bedroom.
After those people got into the room, they closed the door.
By the time Oneida got close, the door had already been shut, stopping her from peeking inside.
Therefore, she reached out and knocked on Jackson’s door.
No one answered her at first.

Oneida didn’t give up. She kept knocking on the door with her fingers.
She had to see Jackson.
Finally, someone opened the door.
Standing in front of her was Victor, a tall man with a serious look.
He opened the door a little and blocked Oneida with his tall figure for fear that she would see what was going on inside.
“What can I do for you, Mrs. Bane?” Victor asked respectfully, looking extremely tired.
Oneida went straight to the point. “I want to see Jackson.”
Victor froze when he heard her words.
He awkwardly lowered his head and said, “I’m afraid you can’t see him right now, Mrs. Bane. Go back to your room first. Mr. Bane will see you when he’s free.”
Oneida raised her head and asked, ‘Didn’t he come back just now? He can’t be sleeping. Why can’t I see him now?”
“Mrs. Bane… Victor looked at Oneida with a meaningful look, reluctant to let her in.
Oneida squinted and thought. There must be something wrong in the bedroom!
She didn’t want to waste time on Victor, so she slapped him hard on the shoulder.
Victor didn’t seem to have expected that Oneida, who looked so small, could burst out with immense energy in the blink of an eye.
Being pushed by her, he stepped back subconsciously.
Oneida took the opportunity to push open the door of Jackson’s bedroom.
However, what Oneida saw shocked her, making her unable to move.
She stood still like a statue.
A man was lying on the big bed in the clean bedroom.
It was Jackson.
He was lying there with his eyes closed.
His handsome face showed no signs of life and was as pale as paper.
What was more, he was covered in blood.
Blood was all over him, soaking his white shirt.
It seemed that he had countless wounds all over his body and was bleeding uncontrollably.
a suit. Beside his bed were a family doctor in a white uniform and Carlos in a
The doctor, Gavin Sampson, was busy treating Jackson’s wounds and stopping the bleeding. However, Jackson seemed to be in a bad condition because he couldn’t stop bleeding.
“Mrs. Bane, Victor walked

He frowned deeply and said helplessly, “Now you see him, I didn’t mean to keep it from you. The less people know about this, the better. I didn’t mean to scare you, Mrs. Bane.
“Why don’t you go back to your bedroom first, Mrs. Bane? We get the doctor here. Besides, there’s nothing you can do
here…
Oneida clenched her fists and said in a deep voice, “I’m not leaving
She meant it. She wouldn’t leave.
“Why?” Oneida gradually had tears in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and asked, “What happened?”
Victor glanced at Oneida with a meaningful look.
Jackson was attacked. After leaving the foreign restaurant at Starlight Plaza, he didn’t return to Garrison Mansion but went to the headquarters of Paragon Group.
As the leader of the group, he would occasionally go there to see how everything was going
However, after he left Paragon Group, he had an accident.
Someone hit Jackson with a bomb.
Despite Victor’s best efforts to protect Jackson, he failed because that man was well prepared and targeted only Jackson.
In the end, Jackson was hurt by the bomb.
Victor immediately took Jackson back to Garrison Mansion and called the family doctor Gavin Sampson
He was going to handle this quietly, but he didn’t expect Oneida to be so perceptive that she noticed something was wrong immediately.
Victor sighed
He couldn’t tell her the truth because Jackson’s identity as the leader of Paragon Group was still a secret even to her.
Victor had no choice but to make up a story. “Mr. Bane was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for some fresh air, but he was attacked by a bomb…..
Hearing that, Oneida felt astonished.
She thought, A bomb? Who hates Jackson so much?
Just then, she thought of something and blurted out, “Could it be the man who kidnapped me last time? Did he want Jackson to die?”
Oneida couldn’t forget how she was kidnapped.
To deal with Jackson, that man kidnapped her deliberately and locked her up in a water dungeon.
Oneida couldn’t think of anyone other than this man who would do anything to get back at Jackson.
Hearing her words, Victor couldn’t help feeling surprised.
He didn’t expect that Oneida would be so sensitive that she guessed it at once.
Victor had the same idea. He also believed that this man planned the attack.
Since their kidnapping failed, they would come back again.
