The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.
In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.
Fortunately, after the hospital check-up, Rita was found to be in sound health-apart from feeling emotionally drained. Additionally, the dampness of the place had caused her to catch a chill.
Sherman remained by Rita's side and held her hand. That way, he would be able to sense as soon as Rita woke up.

Maybe you're just experiencing an unlucky year, which is why so many accidents happened to you." Rita looked surprised. "How did Grandma know what happened to me? Does that mean everyone in the family knows?" Sherman was delighted to hear Rita referring to his family as her family too.
He smiled and said, "Of course they knew. And hey, it's only natural for them to cto see you in the hospital since you're their granddaughter-in-law. Thankfully, you're okay, so I sent them back while I stay here to keep you company."

"From now on, I won't allow you to take on dangerous cases again. You don't need to look into Esmond n: either." Rita asked softly, "Was it Esmond who kidnapped me?"
Sherman nodded. "But Sadie was the mastermind behind the kidnapping. I never imagined her hatred toward you would reach such an extent, even instigating her father to harm you. It would've takena longer tto find you if I hadn't tricked him into believing that Sadie's life was in my hands."
