Chapter 1376His voice was serious. Obviously, he was not joking.At this point, he could think of no other things to threaten Eileen except Brad."Don't turn a deaf ear to what I said! I always keep my word!"Looking at Luke's cold ruthless face, Eileen said with a smile, "Okay!"He was the only one in this world whose caring words sounded so threatening!Seeing gangsters behind Luke, Eileen changed her expression and shouted again, "Watch out for the guys behind you!" Luke immediately turned around and wrestled with them.He was gradually losing his strength when fighting against so many men, so his movements gradually slowed down.Eileen could not move.The only thing she could do was to cover her bleeding wound with one hand and pick up stones on the ground with the other hand to hit those gangsters.One man fell behind her, but Eileen did not notice him.The man's eyes were fierce. He secretly moved towards her with a knife in his hand.Luke had to fight against seve
Chapter 1377And the knife could not be pulled out, or Luke would bleed to death before he got to the hospital!Afterwards, Kingsley picked up Eileen and walked towards the car at a steady pace."Thanks," Eileen frowned in pain and spoke weakly.She used to think that Kingsley was too dignified and unapproachable, yet he looked different at this moment."You'd better not talk at this time, or you will lose more blood..."Kingsley dropped his eyes slightly and looked at Eileen's face. "You and Luke go to the hospital first. I'll be right behind you guys..."Eileen nodded, but she still frowned. "Is he... Is he ... okay?""Maybe yes, maybe no. But I hope he is safe and sound just like you do!" Kingsley replied.The car left, but Kingsley turned around and walked back inside the abandoned old factory.Those gangsters had been subdued. They were now kneeling submissively on the ground.Seeing Kingsley coming in, the bodyguard beside him put a chair behind him. Kingsley sat dow
Chapter 1378Just then, Kingsley's phone rang. It was Sherman calling. She asked how it was going.He answered in a soft voice, "Luke and Eileen have been sent to the hospital. I'll be back soon. Okay. Bye."After hanging up the phone, Kingsley ignored the gang on the ground and directly asked his men to call the police.He was no longer hot-tempered now.He had only done such a bloodthirsty thing twenty years before. However, when he saw the body of the innocent person lying in the abandoned factory, the bloodlust in his heart was stirred.In the hospital…Eileen's wound was bandaged. She sat by the door of the emergency room and fidgeted because Luke had not come out yet.Luke had been sent to the operating room with that knife.It took them so long to get to the hospital, and the knife was stuck into his chest all the way, so there was no way she couldn't be scared.A few moments later, Kingsley and Sherman arrived. They carried their son and held Brad's hand.As soon as
Chapter 1379Although Kingsley’s son was still young, he was quite obedient. Staying quietly in Kingsley’s arms, he didn’t cry or make any trouble.While waiting outside the operation room, Eileen was overwhelmed with anxiety. Luke’s condition must be rather critical, otherwise his operation wouldn’t take so long.She was so scared that her mind completely went blank. She couldn’t remember anything but Luke’s comfort to her.She thought to herself over and over again, ‘He will be fine! He will be fine!’She didn’t dare to think too much or imagine the worst result, or she might be unable to bear it.As time went by, the sun had already set behind the mountains.The door of the operating room finally opened, and the attending doctor came out wearily. “Is Mr. Wright here?”“How is my friend?” Kingsley asked hurriedly.“The wound is too close to his heart, but fortunately, the operation is quite successful. Now we’ll transfer him to the general ward. If he had been sent here a little lat
Chapter 1380Eileen nodded and held his hand.“Go to sleep now. I’m right here and I won’t go anywhere.”Luke felt reassured and slowly closed his eyes.Eileen maintained the same posture.Just then, her phone rang.She picked up the phone and found that it was Ruben calling...Luke just closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was not good for her to answer the phone now, for he would be woken up.Thinking of this, Eileen directly hung up.The ward quieted down, and only their low soft breathing could be heard.It was because of the silence that Eileen finally calmed herself down and sank into a reverie.She began to think about her experiences over the years and various people she had met.She also thought of Kingsley’s words.He said it was really lucky to have someone willing to give priority to your needs and even sacrifice his own life to save yours without hesitation...No one had ever risked his own life for her, except Luke...Eileen’s mind became a mess, and she had never felt so
Chapter 1381Then the father and son quieted down. They didn't dare to make another noise. When it was bedtime, Brad refused to sleep in the adjoining bedroom but insisted on sleeping with Luke.Eileen wouldn't let him since Luke had been injured in the abdomen.Besides, Brad was always restless during sleep. He might kick about and hurt Luke's wounds. But Brad could not be convinced. Luke showed an indulgent look as he wanted to sleep with his son.Unable to dissuade either of them, Eileen vented her spleen on Luke. "Your abdomen is injured."She turned around and sulked to Brad, "He may die."Once again, the father and son fell silent. After a while, Luke gazed at her and suggested, "Sleep here in the middle and separate us. It will be fine."Eileen's chest was heaving with anger. Upon hearing that, she looked at him with rounded eyes. "Let's sleep together. I'll be on the left. You will be in the middle. Brad will be on the right."Luke added, curling his thin lips
Chapter 1382Early the next morning. Luke felt refreshed and had a high color. His mood could not be better. Eileen glared at the two resentfully. Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Ruben. Eileen thought for a moment and answered it. Ruben wanted to meet her at a café nearby. She agreed. As soon as Luke heard that, his face fell, darkened, and turned livid like the weather in June. In an instant, he covered his wounds. "Ouch." His implication was clear. He wanted her to stay instead of going to see that damn eyesore!"I'll be right back. Give me about ten minutes. It won't take long. Brad will keep you company."Since she was so determined, Luke knew that it would be pointless to say more. Therefore, he shut his mouth. In the afternoon, Eileen left for the appointed café. The moment she went out of the room, Luke had his eyes fixed on the watch. He was calculating how long it would take her!Brad felt bored and started drawing.Luke frequently loo
Chapter 1383Eileen continued to look him in the eye and replied, "Out of responsibility and guilt, I could do things like last night."Luke gasped for air and stiffened all over. Like a timebomb, his rage threatened to break out at any second. Like a sharp knife, her answer stabbed his heart. He closed his eyes and said when he opened them again, "Then sleep. You and I. One-time thing. Since you value responsibility and guilt more than principles, come on!""This is where my principles lie. What you just said is my bottom line," she said. "Lying down and sleeping together is different from a one-time thing.""In other words, if you sleep with me, you will no longer owe me anything. How about it?""No!" she rejected flatly without hesitation. When Luke heard that, he suddenly burst into laughter that was dark, strongly ironic, and sad. "Keeping your chastity for him?" Eileen was silent.Silence was acquiescence. He got it. Luke propped his big hand against the edge of
