Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 182

Zephyr paused and went to her side to say softly, "The police's outside right now. It's safe. Stay here. I'll be back very soon."

He had seen that there were a lot of people in the hallway. Not only were there the police, but the men he had asked Robert to send and protect Cordelia were around too.

Cordelia nodded and asked him to be careful. She checked the lock carefully after he left and latched the security chain.

Zephyr was familiar with the hotel's interior. He easily avoided the crowd and went to the rooftop through a quiet passage. As expected, he saw bloodstains on the staircase with the dim lighting. Alarmed, he ran up. The blood stains were not consistent, so he slowed his pace and kept his guard up on the surrounding area as his hand crept to the pistol at his hip.

He suddenly heard soft cries for help!

"Who is it?" Zephyr was startled.

He saw a shadow moving around the nearby shielded area. He chased after it and was surprised to discover Nicholas lying there in blood. He had a man with him who was slightly injured. His underling was ready to risk his life and battle with Zephyr the moment he saw him.

Zephyr grabbed the man's wrist and hit his dagger away.

"lan, come back!" growled Nicholas.

Zephyr crouched next to him, keeping his distance. His gaze was deep and cold with a tinge of doubt.

"What happened?"

Nicholas licked his lips while he bled from his wound.

Zephyr thought about it. "I'll send you to the hospital first."

"No!" The underling named lan rejected it right away. "There's police in the hotel, and those men must be lurking outside the hotel! Going out now is akin to committing suicide!" "Those men?" Zephyr's gaze darkened.

"It's..." lan panted. "Those guys from the old gang's boss. They want to kill N!

"They asked N to come here today for a negotiation last night, but they didn't keep their word. We got tricked the moment we came! Those despicable scums!"

Nicholas was on the brink of death on the floor. His face was growing pale from how much blood he was losing.

Zephyr took a deep breath. Although he had some beef with Nicholas, the latter used to target Marcus-not him. "You're lan?" he asked the underling in a deep tone.

lan jumped and stared at him dumbly.

"Help me drag your boss back if you don't want anything to happen to him. I know a way that won't attract attention!"

The police and crowd gradually dispersed from the hallway, and everything went back to peace.

Cordelia was still worried when a thud sounded at the door before the sound of the keycard accessing it was heard.

She was alarmed but quickly pulled the safety latch open, knowing that it was her husband. However, the scene that greeted her nearly made her scream! Zephyr carried Nicholas in and put him on the bed swiftly. He then tore the sheets to bandage him so the bleeding could be stopped for the time being.

Cordelia's limbs went weak as beads of cold sweat drenched her. She shook and could not make a word.

"Honey..."

"I can't explain too much now," Zephyr said barely above a whisper. "He's severely injured. He needs to go to the hospital!"

"But how are we sending him there?" Cordelia recalled the hotel manager mentioning some gangs just now and could more or less guess it connecting the dots to Nicholas' identity. "Darling, we can't call an ambulance, but if we want to get him out... It's not quite peaceful out there, is it?"

Zephyr met eyes with her and nodded lightly.

lan was stunned as well and could not help doing a double take at the woman.
