"What's wrong, Madam?" Mia asked with furrowed brows, not understanding.
Without giving an answer, Gabriella walked over with a bag full of "weapons". However, before she had gone far, the secretary restrained her pace.
"Madam, where are you going?" the girl asked, still confused.
"Someone sent a strange message," Minnie interjected with hands clasped together.
“Yes, and I have to catch him,” Gabriella implied before swinging her legs again.
However, when she took one step forward, the secretary had pulled her back.
“Please don't be rash, Madam,” Mia said with a small frown at the base of her brow.
A second later, the girl grabbed the woman's cell phone and checked the message. After a glance, a quick sigh escaped from her mouth.
"Who else is this?" she muttered before gritting her teeth.
“That must be the criminal who attacked Max, Mia. I have to stop him,” Gabriella said as she took
"Is that true?" Gabriella exclaimed happily.After receiving confirmation from the other side of the cellphone, the woman glanced at her husband with sparkling eyes. After a while, she let out a sigh of relief and nodded lightly. "Okay, thank you, Auntie."As soon as Gabriella lowered the phone, Max immediately grabbed his wife's hand. "Is Dad's operation finished?" he asked hopefully."Yes. The operation went smoothly. Dad is being transferred to the ICU. If the monitoring results for the next few days are good, he can go home," Gabriella explained with a wide arch of lips."I hope his body can accept my heart and there is no complication," Max muttered in a prayer.A second later, the woman nodded in agreement. She was happy because her worries turned out to be unfounded."Sleep now, Max. You need a lot of rest," Gabriella said while caressing his husband's cheek.Without warning, the man's expression turned flat. After a moment of
“You don't have to make up stories, Mia. I just stopped the car in the parking lot. In a moment, you will see me standing in front of you. I'm not a coward anymore, you know?" Julian said before unbuckling the seatbelt. Hearing the CEO's relaxed response, Mia was pushed closer into despair. With a narrow throat, she said, "It's not about your bravery anymore, Sir, but Mrs. Evans' life." Doubting the hearing, Julian didn't budge and furrowed his brows. Slowtly, he began to detect Mia's sobs from the other side of the phone. “I beg you, Sir. Save her …” the secretary sighed in a trembling voice. “I couldn't tell Mister Max. He would panic if he finds out his wife is missing. I only found Madam's bag and a pen that was covered in blood." Knowing the seriousness of the secretary, Julian suddenly gulped. With hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, the man forced his brain to think. "Where did you find Gabriella's bag?" "On the emergency stairs,
"No," Julian groaned, pressing his stomach. With great difficulty, he strangled the criminal. "Don't touch her ...."Annoyed, No Name turned around and pushed Julian's hand away from his body. "Apparently, you really care about this woman more than your life, huh?"Without the slightest bit of pity, the man threw a fist into Julian's jaw. As his opponent staggered, he returned to Gabriella.Feeling a lot of energy being eroded, Julian finally ambushed the criminal with both arms. With all his might, he dragged the man by the neck to back away from the woman.“Apparently, you're persistent too?” No Name sighed in an indistinct voice. A second later, he struck the waist of the person behind his back. A muffled groan suddenly resounded, shaking the air."Do you still want to play?" the big man challenged while turning the handle in his grip.Instead of loosening up, Julian tightened his arm lock. However, the more suffocated the cri
“Why do Gabriella and Mia take so long? Where do they actually go?" Max grumbled as he continued to stare at the door and the clock alternately. “Do they purposely make me wait alone?” the man muttered as he couldn't decipher the furrowed brows. Something had stuck in his heart. "Or maybe, something happened out there and they don't tell me." After pondering for a moment, Max finally reached his hand out toward the table. Afraid that the wound would open again, he pressed his stomach with the other hand. "Tch, why did Gaby put my phone so far away?" While grimacing, the man tried to slide his cell phone with the fingertips. Inadvertently, the object slipped out of the line of the table and fell to the floor. A sigh of disappointment instantly released into the air. “Why did I drop it when I'm not allowed to bend down? Tsk, at this rate, I have no other choice,” Max muttered before taking a deep breath. A second later, with all his might,
“Mr. Julian's family?” the medic called with a serious look."Yes, Doc. I'm his brother," Max said between breaths. He didn't know if the man was a doctor or not. Most importantly, he had given the right answer.“The specialist has checked. Apparently, the damage to the patient's stomach is quite severe. Therefore, he decide to do bowel resection surgery. So, all the damaged intestines had to be cut.”"Is that the best way to save Julian?" Max asked with high arched eyebrows.Without thinking, the green clothed man nodded. "Yes, that's the only way to stop the bleeding," he said firmly."Then just do it, Doc. Save my brother," Max sighed hopefully.“Okay, we definitely do our best. Now, I will inform the specialist that the patient's family has agreed. The operation will go on.” After a nod, the man in green returned to the room.After the medic left, another heavy sigh escaped from Max's mouth. Wit
While holding his new bandage, Max kept his eyes on the door. After a while, what he was waiting for finally came. Two nurses pushed a bed with Gabriella asleep on it. “Gaby,” the man sighed, trying to get up. However, before his shoulders left the bed, someone had pressed his head back against the pillow. “Please don't be stupid! I don't want to take you to the emergency room again," Sebastian grumbled, successfully inviting a cynical look from Max. "That's right, Sir. Please stay still. Your wife is okay. She'll wake up as soon as the anesthetic wears off,” a nurse explained as she locked Gabriella's bed next to the man. Received the same ban, Max did not argue. After heaving a faint breath, with hands still attached by the IV line, he tried to grab his wife's fingers. Knowing the man's predicament, the nurse brought Gabriella's hand closer. "Take a rest, Sir. Don't move too much anymore," she suggested even though the patient didn't
With teary eyes and out of breath, Gabriella walked quickly. She completely ignored the commotion behind her back. Amber's anger was no more important than her brother-in-law.As soon as she opened the door, the secretary looked up at her with a high arched eyebrow. Without waiting for orders, the girl gave up the chair she was sitting on. "Madam?""How is Julian?" Gabriella asked in a low voice.“The operation went well, Madam. We just have to wait for Master to wake up,” Mia explained as she turned to the man who was surrounded by many tubes.Feeling doubtful, Gabriella grabbed the girl's shoulder. "You didn't lie to calm me down, did you?"With a face without a smile, Mia shook her head. "I'm telling the truth, Madam. Master has passed the critical period. Now, we just have to wait for him to become conscious.”"So he's not going to die, is he?" Gabriella asked, unable to sift through the words anymore."Yes, Mada
"Have you thanked Julian?" Max asked when he saw that his wife's face was no longer somber. In an instant, the woman who had just entered the room was smiling loosely. "Yes. He's awake when I saw him,” Gabriella reported before pulling up a chair and sitting on the side of the bed. "Then, how is he?" The woman's lips pursed. "He's fine, Max. The doctor said that his body is strong. In a few days, he is able to go home. Julian just need to keep his wound clean and follow the rules of eating. There's a lot that he shouldn't be consuming right now. Whenever I think about it, I feel more guilty.” "Take it easy, Gaby. Mia will take care of him very well," the man said, trying to lighten the burden in his wife's heart. Unexpectedly, those simple words managed to make Gabriella smile again. "Do you know what? I think, Julian has feelings for Mia,” the woman said with round eyes even though her eyelids were still swollen. "Why do you c
