Chapter 120: Line of Code
There was only silence as they drove along the road until Alexander abruptly steered the wheel to the side and stopped the car.
"Tell me what’s going on with Michael Astor, or do you prefer that I check it with GIS?" Alexander said, his voice calm but his expression dark and intense.
Rain took a deep breath and began recounting everything Brandon had told her. She inwardly bit her cheek, noting how Alexander’s face grew even gloomier with each detail.
"So he’s not crippled," Alexander grunted after hearing the news. Rain replied, "Honestly, we’re not sure. Vania mentioned she was so dizzy and could barely see properly at the time. She had a severe head trauma and had been unconscious for days."
Trying to lighten the mood, Rain smiled and teased him, "Look at you. What’s with that expression? Are you worried about me?"
Her teasing was genuine, but she was also trying to understand his reaction. It was frustrating when he remained unresponsive, simply sighing and frowning.
Alexander turned to face her, his gaze serious. "You’re my wife. What kind of husband would I be if I didn’t protect you while you’re under my roof?" He looked her straight in the eyes and added, "We weren’t raised to be like that by my father."
Rain mumbled to herself, "Was it really that hard to admit you’re worried?"
"Fine," Alexander grunted. "I’m worried. Happy now?" Sighing, he immediately grabbed his phone and made a call.
