Gradually, I could no longer hear the sounds around me clearly. I could only hear Julia’s voice. Slowly, I closed my eyes.
“Yvonne, if something happens to you, I’ll introduce a lot of women to my son. I’ll let him marry another girl and have children with her. You won’t get anything. So, open your eyes. Do you hear me?”
Hearing that, I flashed her a faint smile. “Mrs. Lane, don’t worry. I won’t die. I still want to be with Christopher. We’ve promised each other to be together forever. I won’t leave him behind. I won’t die. I won’t die…”
I repeated the sentence again and again. Even when I was out of strength and could not even open my eyes, I did not allow myself to lose consciousness. I was afraid that once I fell asleep, I would disappear from Christopher’s life forever.
It was not until the doctor pushed me into the emergency room and gave me anesthetics that I finally closed my eyes with peace of mind.
Moments later, a Maserati stopped abruptly in front of the hospital. Because it had been traveling at a high speed and the brake was applied all of a sudden, the front of the car hit the railing before it. As a result, there was a huge dent on the luxury vehicle. When the security guard at the hospital entrance saw that, he was heartbroken. The repair would easily cost a few hundred thousand, which was enough money for him to buy a decent car.
Meanwhile, the person in the car did not care how badly the car crashed. He opened the door, stepped out of the vehicle, and rushed into the hospital.
“Mom, how is Yvonne?” Christopher ran to the emergency room, grabbed Julia’s shoulders, and asked anxiously.
In fact, Julia was more nervous than he was. There were still bloodstains on her body and the white coat she was wearing was dyed a terrifying crimson. Glancing at the door of the emergency room, she answered anxiously, “The doctor hasn’t come out yet.”
“What happened? Why was she sent to the hospital?” Christopher was so anxious that he almost shouted.
A trace of guilt flickered across Julia’s eyes. “It’s my fault. I was too careless. I called the police and was discovered. In order to save me, she blocked the gunshot.”
“Gunshot? Where was she shot? Was she severely injured?”
His whole body trembled because of anxiety. The man who did not even blink when he himself was shot was scared at that moment.
“She was shot in the abdomen and lost a lot of blood.” Julia did not dare to look at Christopher’s eyes. After experiencing my departure previously, she knew better than anyone how important I was to Christopher.
“Abdomen?!” In an instant, Christopher’s face turned as white as a sheet. How he wished to rush into the operating theater immediately to make sure that everything was okay! But since he could not do that, he started pacing back and forth just outside the emergency room. He could not calm himself down.
“She’ll be fine. She’ll definitely be fine…” He comforted himself as he walked.
Before long, Darius and Gordon also rushed to the hospital. As soon as they saw how pale Christopher and Julia looked, they knew that the operation in the emergency room had not finished.
Patting Christopher on the shoulder, Darius comforted, “Yvonne is a good person. She’ll be fine.”
“Where are those people? Where’s the one who shot her?” Abruptly, Christopher lifted his head, his gaze murderous. He looked ferocious when he asked his questions while gritting his teeth.
“Most of them have been arrested. Don’t worry. They’re in jail. As soon as Yvonne is fine, I’ll bring you there and you can vent your anger on them as you like. The two who escaped won’t be able to run far. The SWAT team has been dispatched,” said Darius.
“I’ll end them all! How dare they hurt Yvonne!” Then, Christopher turned around and walked outside. While walking, he made a call and roared, “Zachary, gather our men! I have a mission for you.”
“Chris, calm down!” Darius and Gordon stopped him. If Christopher were to successfully capture the robbers, there would be no chance that the latter could survive, which would make things even worse.
“I can’t calm down! I want to put an end to those bastards’ lives!” Christopher yelled furiously.
“Chris, when Yvonne comes out later, you’re definitely the person she wants to see the most. So wait here, okay?” begged Julia while hugging Christopher, who looked like he had lost his mind.
