GoodReadSuddenly, she saw a figure approaching.
George stormed over to her, all guns blazing. Without uttering a word, he snatched her phone and hurled it away with all his might.
In no time, the phone was smashed into smithereens.
At this moment, Dorothy realized that she had underestimated how aggressive these people would be.
"You're intentionally damaging my property, and that's illegal." She said.
"And what about you? Aren't you swindling the common folk out of their hard-earned money? How much is your phone worth anyway?" Dorothy furrowed her brows. "If you believe you're in the right, then why don't you let me call the police? You should want me to get them here to see justice served!" "Who knows if you've got the cops in your pocket or if you've greased their palms?!" George roared before turning to the crowd.

It was early morning, and the security staff hadn't started their shift yet. Austin tried to intervene, but he was no match for these construction workers, who were used to hard physical labor.
"Hey, what are you doing?! Assault is illegal!" Dorothy retreated a few steps, but lost her footing and fell to the ground.
Before she could utter another word, she felt a searing pain from in her scalp.
Looking up, she saw a man clutching her hair, intent on dragging her into the crowd.
Dorothy tried to resist, but more hands reached towards her. Austin couldn't escape either, he was punched and fell to the ground.
She wanted to scream for help, but she knew that it was unlikely anyone would come to her rescue at a construction site at this time.
Pain spread quickly from various parts of her body.
A punch landed on the back of her head, and Dorothy felt the world spin around her. Her consciousness was slowly fading.
She tried to stay alert, knowing that she could be beaten to death by these angry men. But it was a severe blow, and her body wasn't responding.
In a daze, Dorothy heard a familiar, deep voice.
“Don't be afraid, it's me... I'm here...” Dorothy felt her body becoming lighter. It was like she could float.
She tried to reach out for something, but her body didn’t respond.
She couldn't move a muscle.

Then she suddenly heard a doctor's voice near her ear.
"The patient has a severe concussion. She may experience headaches and vomiting when she wakes up. You should keep a close eye on her." "We understand!" It must be the nurse speaking.
Dorothy tried to move her fingers, and after a while, she slowly opened her eyes.
All she could see was a glaringly white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant filled the room. It was unpleasant.
It seemed like she was still alive.
"Oh, you're awake!" The nurse noticed her first and quickly called the doctor over.
After conducting several checks and confirming she was fine, the doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dorothy could even see the beads of sweat on his forehead.
Was it really that serious? She wasn't anyone important.
She watched as the doctor relaxed and quickly walked out, saying, "Quick! Tell him that she's okay. Now!" Him?
