"Okay, then I'll take his life!" He pulled the trigger of the gun that was aimed at Joey."Wait!" A cold yet hardened female voice rang out.Everyone looked over only to see Old Madam Gabriel walking in with someone’s assistance.Summer hurried over, saying, "Grandma, why are you here?"Grandma was in poor health, so they had left her to rest in the house. They had planned to wait until the wedding reception to let her appear and give a few words.Old Madam Gabriel patted Summer's hand and reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, Summer. With Grandma around, no one can meddle with your inheritance right."Cuatro's eyes darkened, the hatred in them intensifying."Cuatro, you shouldn't be here. Put the gun down and let the kid go,” Old Madam Gabriel said unhurriedly.The people present were confused. 'How did a perfectly good wedding turn into a TV drama where the Gabriel family is fighting for the inheritance right?'Sharon looked at Simon who was in a groom's tux and noticed that
"Grandma..." Summer hugged the falling old lady, warm blood immediately covering her hands. She cried and pleaded with fear, "Grandma, no. Don't leave us, no..."Old Madam Gabriel gasped heavily. Her old hand gripped Summer tightly as she appeared to be trying to say something. However, it was difficult for her to even utter a word. Upon taking her last breath, she let go of her hand and let it fall beside her."Grandma!" Summer held her grandmother in her arms and wailed aloud. Great sorrow and anger took over her!She pulled out a gun and pointed it at Cuatro, bellowing in hatred, "How could you be so cruel? Even if Grandma was wrong, she was the one who raised you. You cruel and unscrupulous b*stard, I'm taking your worthless life on behalf of Grandma!"Undeterred, Cuatro looked up and sneered. He pointed his gun at Joey, saying, "Let's see whether you’ll manage to shoot me dead before I shoot him dead!”The gun Summer was holding in her hand trembled. 'Joey...'"Miss Gabriel,
The pain spread from her left shoulder to her entire body, and blood continued to pour out from her wound. The smell of blood made Sharon feel dizzy, and she wondered if her life would end today.She had no idea where she mustered the bravery to run out and take the bullet for him.Seeing the man’s fierce-looking face and the inconcealable panic in his eyes, she unconsciously smiled. "You saved me so many times, so it's my turn... to save you this time. I... I don't owe you anymore."Simon yelled when he saw that she was about to faint, "Don't fall asleep! Open your eyes and look at me! Who said you don't owe me anymore? Sharon, I'm telling you, there's so much that you owe me still. Your life is mine, do you hear that?"Sharon wanted to smile again, but she realized she did not have much strength left, so she could only whisper, "Yeah. My life is yours... You can have it back now."Franky had already called an ambulance. At this time, he could only pray that Sharon could be stron
As they made their way to the hospital, Simon held the woman tightly in his arms. The usually calm man was no longer calm at all. He held her hand tightly and kept talking to her lest she closed her eyes.Sharon felt exhausted and just wanted to get some sleep, but Simon kept talking in her ears. He would call out her name as soon as she wanted to close her eyes.'Why didn’t I find him so talkative before?'"Can't... you be quiet for a minute?" she managed to say.She did not know that at this moment, not only was her face drained of all color but also her lips. At this sight of her, Simon felt a burst of pain in his heart."No, look at me. Don't close your eyes!" Simon commanded bossily before urging the driver to drive faster.In a trance, Sharon squinted her eyes at him. Her head was resting on his shoulder, and up close, she could see the tension and fear in the man's eyes.'Is he afraid? Fear doesn't seem to apply to him.'However, she could feel his fear. 'Is he afraid th
“Oh, you're awake, Miss Jeans!" The doctor, who had been forced over by Simon to do a checkup on Sharon, was instantly delighted when he saw her opening her eyes.Simon quickly looked over when he heard the exclamation. Indeed, the lady lying on the hospital bed had opened her eyes. She had been unconscious for three days and three nights, and he had been staying by her side for three days and nights.As her unconscious state persisted, his patience began to slowly wear off, and he could not wait much longer. His mind started to develop stray thoughts. 'Is she going to stay unconscious forever?'The anxiety dwelling within him prompted him to call the doctor over once again to conduct a check-up on her.Now, she had suddenly woken up and that left him shocked instead. He stood there for some time, dumbfounded, and did not react.Sharon looked at the man who was not moving an inch. The moment she saw him, she was astonished. That man—the one who was always very strict with tidiness
Sharon stared at the fierce man before her. His face was tense and his brows were knitted into a frown. Even his lips were clenched into a thin line.However, she could obviously see the anxiety within the man's eyes, which was accompanied by a glimpse of terror…She recalled the scene where she got shot before she passed out. He had carried her to the hospital, and she also saw the horror within his eyes back then.A mighty man like him was always domineering and cool, and did not even flinch when he learned that Summer's bridegroom would be shot. However, that moment he was carrying her after she was shot, he had displayed fear.She understood that certain emotions were unable to be concealed. His sense of terror was so genuine. He was sincerely afraid that she would just die.Actually, she did not expect herself to have the courage to block that bullet. When the gun was pointed at him, she could not stop herself from running toward him.Only now that she was recalling the inci
At the end of the day, he never took her seriously.Simon frowned and his expression was dark. 'Isn’t she taking this too seriously?'He did not tell her because he thought that there was no need for her to know. As long as he could help Summer out with this matter, he would be able to return to being with her.He never expected that she would follow him."You think you can just go look for Eugene if you don't forgive me? My wedding is a fake one, but what about you and Eugene?" He was still rather concerned about that matter.Sharon did not even look at him. The issue between them had yet to be settled, yet he was talking about the issue with Eugene.The anger dwelling within her did not fade away. She avoided his gaze and said, "I…""President Zachary, what do you mean by that? Right now, Shar is my girlfriend and everyone is aware of it. How can it possibly be fake?"No one knew when Eugene had arrived. He immediately walked up to them and his gaze landed on Sharon, clearly
After Summer entered, she noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, especially the terrible expression on Simon's face.Eugene was looking rather normal. He leaned much closer to Sharon and they looked rather intimate.Summer glanced at the three of them and it was as though she understood something.She looked at Simon and said, "I see that Sharon has yet to eat anything after waking up. You should know what's her favorite. Go buy something for her to eat. She will be famished otherwise."Simon had already been planning to head out to buy something to eat. It was just that after Eugene showed up, he dropped the idea, not wanting to leave the two alone."I'll keep her company here. You should go." Summer could see through his thoughts.Simon glanced at Eugene coldly. Since Summer was there, he could rest more assured."Wait for my return." He got up and said to Summer. He still would not let Eugene be left alone there."Alright." Summer nodded.Sh
