At this moment, Brentley's intention for stopping Phoebe was very simple. He believed that if she stayed by his side, he could immediately call Logan's people if anything happened. However, if Phoebe went to the hospital with Kirk and something dangerous occurred on the way, He wouldn't know and be able to help in time.
Phoebe, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. She was already furious with him for standing by silently while Kirk was beaten up earlier. Now, as she prepared to take him to the hospital, Brentley was blocking her way, making Phoebe question if there was something wrong with his brain.
"Get out of my way!" Phoebe shouted coldly at him.
"Phoebe, I think Brentley has a point. I can go to the hospital by myself. Maybe you shouldn't come with me..." Kirk suddenly spoke up, surprising everyone.
Phoebe's heart was filled with emotion upon hearing Kirk's words. The kind and innocent Phoebe thought he didn't want to trouble her, which was why he didn't want her to accompany him to the hospital.
Brentley, on the other hand, was utterly confused. He couldn't understand why Kirk would refuse Phoebe's help at this moment.
"You got beaten up because of me. I have to take you to the hospital!" Phoebe said seriously, looking at him.
Kirk's face showed a hint of helplessness at Phoebe's words, but he didn't argue further.
Seeing that Kirk didn't reject her, Phoebe immediately supported him and started walking towards the door. "You can't go to the hospital with this guy!" Brentley shouted desperately. He stepped in front of Phoebe again.
"Brentley, get out of my way! What does it matter to you if I take Kirk to the hospital? You didn't help when he was getting beaten up, and now you won't even let me take him to the hospital. What is your deal?"
Phoebe, clearly annoyed, shoved Brentley aside and helped Kirk towards the door.
Brentley watched their retreating figures and sighed softly, but he didn't try to stop them again. He had already said everything he needed to say to Phoebe. If she didn't believe him, there was nothing more he could do.
A moment later, Phoebe and Kirk took the elevator and left.
Brentley, now alone, was about to head back to his room when his phone suddenly rang. He quickly pulled it out and saw that it was Logan calling. Brentley had been so engrossed in watching Kirk get beaten up that he had forgotten Logan and his men were still waiting downstairs.
"Hello?" Brentley answered.
"Young Master Carter, should we come up now? What's the situation?" Logan asked hurriedly.
"Logan, there's no need to come up. Everything's been taken care of," Brentley replied casually.
"I understand Young Master Carter," Logan said.
Despite having been kept waiting all night for nothing, Logan didn't dare show any anger towards Brentley. He simply responded quietly. "By the way, Logan, I need you to investigate two people for me," Brentley continued.
"Who are they?" Logan asked quickly.
"One is someone on the Live Streaming Platform who goes by the name 'Sunshire City Young Master Jordan,' and the other is a person named Kirk," Brentley said slowly.
"Um..." Logan seemed a bit troubled by Brentley's request.
"Is there a problem?" he asked softly.
"Young Master Carter, finding information on 'Sunshire City Young Master Jordan' shouldn't be too difficult. I just need to contact the person in charge of the Live Streaming Platform to get his details. But as for Kirk, it might be a bit challenging. There are just too many people named Kirk nationwide," Logan explained slowly.
"Kirk is also from Sunshire City, and I've met him before," Brentley said after a moment of hesitation.
"In that case, it should be simpler. I'll have my team gather photos of everyone named Kirk in Sunshire City. Then, you can identify the person from the photos, Young Master Carter," Logan said quickly.
"Good!" Brentley agreed and then hung up the phone.
On the other side, Phoebe was helping Kirk out of the neighborhood, standing by the roadside to hail a taxi to take him to the hospital.
"Kirk, hang in there. My home is very close to the hospital. We should get there soon..."
Phoebe spoke softly to him. "Kirk, you really don't seem well. Shouldn't we go to the hospital?"
Kirk sighed, his tone filled with helplessness. "Phoebe, I'm really fine. Maybe we shouldn't go to the hospital."
There was a reason Kirk didn't want to go to the hospital. He didn't have any money for medical bills. All his money had been spent on taking Phoebe out to dinner and buying gifts in her live-stream. To keep up the appearance of being a wealthy heir, he had even rented a designer outfit from a clothing store. The rental fee was steep, and if he didn't return the clothes by midnight, he would have to pay a hefty penalty.
Kirk didn't have money for medical bills, let alone for a penalty fee.
"No way, you're hurt so badly. I have to take you to the hospital!" Phoebe insisted stubbornly.
"Phoebe, I really can't go to the hospital. I have some other things I need to take care of. How about you go home, and I'll go to the hospital after I finish these things?" Kirk said softly, trying to persuade her.
"What could be more urgent than going to the hospital?" Phoebe asked, puzzled.
"I... I need to find out more about that Young Master Jordan who has been bothering you. He dared to bully you and even came looking for trouble. I can't let him get away with it!" Kirk desperately made up an excuse on the spot. "Phoebe, it's a good thing I was here today. Otherwise, you might have been the one getting hurt. I can't allow anyone to treat you like this. I have to find Young Master Jordan and teach him a lesson!"
Phoebe was deeply moved by his words. Despite being beaten up, he was still thinking about avenging her. She didn't know how to express her feelings at that moment.
"Kirk, why are you so good to me?" Phoebe asked, her voice filled with emotion.
Phoebe's beautiful eyes blinked with tears as she softly asked him, "Didn't I tell you today? From the moment I first saw you, I knew I liked you. If you could be my girlfriend, everything I'm going through right now would be worth it!" Kirk gazed at Phoebe with deep affection.
"Kirk, you..."
Phoebe was taken aback by his sudden confession, leaving her at a loss for words. "Phoebe, I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?" Kirk pressed on, seizing the moment.
