Chapter 942

It was a peaceful evening when Josefina stepped into the restaurant Alex had picked for dinner. Just as she reached the door, she bumped into Bobby.

"Ms. Josefina, what are the odds!" Bobby said, grinning as he came over.

They were about to head inside when, out of nowhere, a drunken guy with a knife lurched towards them, waving it around like a madman.

"Ms. Josefina, look out!" Bobby yelled, his face going pale. Without a second thought, he jumped in front of Josefina, taking the knife strike meant for her.

The blade slashed into Bobby's back, and blood started pouring out.

Josefina quickly kicked the drunk away, and just then, Alex and Kale showed up, managing to pin the guy down with help from the growing crowd. If it weren't for all the people around, Alex and Kale might have been tempted to rough him up a bit more.

Josefina whipped out her phone to call an ambulance and grabbed some hemostatic powder from her bag to sprinkle on Bobby's wound.

The ambulance arrived in no time, rushing Bobby off to the hospital. Josefina followed in her car, calling Percy to arrange for surgery.

Josefina, Kale, and Alex waited anxiously outside the operating room.

Josefina's phone buzzed with a call from Luke.

"Boss, I did some digging. That drunk's known for his antics-throwing stuff at folks when he's hammered. No one saw this coming, though, him pulling a knife. But it seems like he wasn't put up to it by anyone."

Feeling relieved, Josefina ended the call. She wasn't usually paranoid, but she had to be careful.

"Kale," Josefina instructed, "give Bobby a month off. I'll cover her medical bills and any lost wages."

After all, Bobby got hurt protecting her, and it wouldn't be right for Bobby to cover the costs.

The police would handle the drunken man.

Alex chimed in, "I should've been more careful when picking the restaurant. If I'd kept up with the news, maybe this wouldn't have happened.”

Kale added, "Why'd that drunk target

"I've already looked into it. It was just a random incident. You guys should head

home; I'll take care of everything else."

"Ms. Josefina, let me handle it," Alex insisted. "I'm your assistant; dealing with these things is my job."

"I'll stay too," Alex offered.

"You're both guys, and dealing with bandages and stuff isn't ideal. I've arranged for

a nurse to come by; she'll take care of Bobby."

After a while, Bobby came out of surgery.

With her wounds stitched up, all she needed now was rest and recovery.

"Don't worry," Percy assured them, "her injuries are stable, and with the special meds Josefina made, she'll heal quickly."

Josefina felt relieved knowing Bobby was in good hands.

Once Bobby was settled in her hospital room, Josefina sat by her side.

"Bobby, thank you. Stay here for a few days for observation. I'll handle the medical and other expenses and Alex will cover your work. You just focus on getting better."

Bobby protested, "Ms. Josefina, I can still work. It's just my left shoulder that's hurt; my right

shoulder and hand are fine. I can. keep working

"You need to take it easy. Healing takes time,” Josefina replied firmly.

No matter what Bobby said, Josefina wouldn't change her mind.

"Where do you live? Do you have someone to bring you a change of clothes? If not, I can get them for you."

"Don't worry, Ms. Josefina, I've got someone to bring them for me."

When the nurse arrived, Josefina instructed her to take good care of Bobby and to contact her immediately if there were any issues.

Only after making sure everything was settled did Josefina leave.
