“Didn’t you always hate Zoey because she betrayed your brother before the wedding. Because she betrayed your brother and killed Chuck Xiao before they got married, in fact, the murderer of your brother was not Zoey, it was you! The man who killed your brother that night was none other than your good brother.” Jerry Xiao stared in shock and disbelief at Owen Baker’s words. But the truth was too much for him not to believe! Five years ago, the night before his brother’s wedding, he was indeed with a woman. If he wasn’t the one involved, he wouldn’t know so clearly! But why would Nabi Yan say it was her that night?
“Don’t believe me when I tell you that Nini inherited your WIID disorder from the Xiao Family, and that’s why she’s been afflicted with it since she was a child!” Owen Baker growled lowly in agitation, his fists clenched at his side, his bone joints flushed pale from so much repression.
On one side, Sea Gu was also shocked for a moment. Obviously, he also did not expect Zoey’s child is Jerry Xiao’s. It turns out that their love affair was formed so many years ago …
One brutal truth after another, like thousands of pounds of hammers, came pounding ferociously at him, pounding his heart and tearing it apart, along with his soul.
For a long time, he could only stare at Owen Baker with stormy eyes. his body was trembling, like a beast that had suffered a huge blow, as if it was going to go crazy in the next instant. But, in the end …
His eyes, little by little, went gray, gradually lost their luster, and then, dull as death. Clenching Owen Baker collar of the big palm, trembling, a finger a finger loose. But … the knuckles are still taut and unusually tight.
Great chagrin, pain, and self-loathing quickly seized all his thoughts. Disheveled, remorseful, he crouched down along the cold wall. He desperately tore at his hair with hatred, as if it were the only thing that would make him feel better.
Damn it! How much of a mistake had he made? And how much did he owe her?
He himself killed his brother, forced himself on her, and even, last time, he was actually that mean to the kids, and now, he’s caused her to become like this …
He is, indeed, so damned! So asshole!
…
For a moment, the long corridors of the hospital were shrouded in a heavy gloom. Occasionally, a dull, muffled grunt could be heard coming from his throat, as if the pain that had gathered in his chest could not be suppressed anymore and was about to leap out of his chest at any moment.
Beside him, two men stood on each side. His remorseful look was really side-splitting, but neither of them could sympathize. Because, all of this, he had asked for it!
The two just clutched their chests and watched it all with cold eyes. Vigilantly wary of him hurting the already fragile woman in the hospital room again …
…
I don’t know how long, squatting on the ground, he suddenly stood up. He looked a little wooden, lost in thought, and was about to rush into the ward. Sea Gu’s eyebrows were stern, and he immediately stepped forward to stop him. Owen Baker also blocked the doorway of the ward.
“Get out of the way!” Jerry Xiao’s voice was hoarse. He just wanted to check on her, just to hear her breathing, to feel her temperature, to make sure she was all right.
“We will not allow you to hurt her again!” Owen Baker pulled on the lock of the door, his sturdy arms taut.
“I’ve long been displeased with you! If you don’t want to get beaten up again, disappear from here immediately.” Sea Gu’s expression became even colder.
As if Jerry Xiao couldn’t wait to vent the remorse and hurt in his heart that almost drove him to death, he went berserk and grabbed Sea Gu at once, glaring at him with red eyes, like an enraged beast, “I told you to go away, are you deaf?!”
“Jerry Xiao, you’re the one who should walk away!” Owen Baker helps Sea Gu and breaks away from him.
Jerry Xiao’s body stiffened, and even now, he was still gazing at the two men with cold eyes like an arrogant lion.
“Zoey is very unstable right now, so if you don’t want anything to happen to her, don’t come back here and argue with her! I’m asking you, please, to give Zoey a chance to recover from her injuries! It’s her own words …” Owen Baker paused before continuing, “Never, ever, in this life, do I want to see you again.”
The last sentence caused a clearly visible crack to appear on Jerry Xiao’s arrogant expression. His stiff body shook viciously. His face turned white, and the sickness surged up, he grunted heavily in pain, and grabbed the wall beside him haphazardly, so as not to let himself pass out directly here from the pain.
Owen Baker and Sea Gu looked at each other. owen Baker said, “He seems to be having a relapse.”
Sea Gu glanced at Jerry Xiao and frowned, “I’ll take him to the doctor, you stay and take care of Zoey .”
“Good.” Owen Baker nodded. The two men, although they were annoyed to the extreme with Jerry Xiao, but seeing him like this, no one could really be cruel. Sea Gu was just about to take a step forward to help him, but there was already a pair of arms that were faster than him, and held Jerry Xiao, who was about to faint to death, narrowly.
“President! Is it still holding up?” It was Ah Feng who rushed over. At a glance, he saw those bruises on his pale face, and knew that the president must have experienced a fight here just now. He just looked sideways at Sea Gu and Owen Baker before speaking, “Mr. Xiao is not doing well, excuse me.”
The two men nodded their heads respectively. Ah Feng only assisted Jerry Xiao to take a step out, his body was heavy, his whole body planted on top of him, no more half strength, fainted.
“President!” Feng exclaimed, “Doctor, doctor!”
Zoey was still awake, from the first moment that familiar voice, appeared at the door. But, she never opened her eyes.
Because …
It really isn’t necessary anymore.
That voice, it used to haunt her, used to make her think of it with either sweetness or sadness. But now …
It just feels like a stick in the throat and a thorn in the chest …
Not even pain left, just numbness and panic …
It was like a nightmare that had haunted her so bitterly, and well, now the nightmare was finally going to wake up.
The door to the hospital room, was gently pushed open. She blinked, a cool patch at the corner of her eye swooning up as she realized that she had cried again …
Sorry, brother …
Sorry Ingram …
She really didn’t want to cry, didn’t want them to get upset with her …
She also thought that her tears, should have run out. Unexpectedly, actually still able to cry out. She didn’t know if she should be happy, or if she should feel sad.
Owen Baker came in softly and sat on the edge of the bed. When he saw her eyelashes flutter, he wrung a hot towel and gently wiped her face, drying her tears.
Wiping it clean before glancing at her and speaking in a faint voice, “Ingram followed, shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
“Brother, these are not necessary and I say …” she voice, very light and light. The voice is very light. It’s like a dandelion, as if the wind is blowing, it will dissipate and disappear at any time. Owen Baker gave a light ‘hmm’ sound and held her cold hand, “You have to get well soon, I heard mom say that the kids have asked you several times. If you stay in the hospital any longer, you won’t be able to hide it from them. You know, those two children are very smart. Adults can see through lying at a glance.”
At the mention of her children, the darkness in Zoey’s heart seemed to have faded a little. She looked at Owen and softly asked, “Brother, is Arabia fun?”
Owen stroked her forehead and smiled slightly, “Not bad. What? Do you want to go?”
“Well … when I’m a little better, you take me and the kids with you, okay?” She smiled openly with a faint longing in her eyes that were glistening with tears.
Owen Baker looks mesmerized and nods, “Sure. You can go anywhere you want as long as you get better.”
The long corridors of the hospital are a mess.
“Prepare the emergency room!” The doctor ordered in a rush, the IV bottle hanging by the bedside, the paramedics pushed the hospital bed and ran inside the emergency room at a brisk pace. Afon climbed tightly on the edge of the bed and asked the doctor, “Doctor, what’s the situation now?”
“Check and see!” The doctor could not give an accurate answer either.
He was wheeled into the emergency room, and it took a lot of hustling before the emergency room curtain was pulled back. The doctor took off his mask and walked out. Ah Feng rushed to welcome him, “Doctor, how is the situation? I hope you tell me immediately!”
“The condition is deteriorating extremely fast, the immune system has been damaged like never before and it could be life threatening at any time. We only dare to use the most general antibiotic drugs now. I hope you can contact foreign medical technology as soon as possible, otherwise …” The doctor paused for a moment before saying, “There’s no way back.”
Afon shuddered, “I will contact the foreign country as soon as possible.”
“Hmm. There’s no way to be sure when the patient will wake up, so try to have someone stay with him at all times during this time. Further …” the doctor carefully explained the precautions, “Don’t stimulate his emotions anymore, and don’t let him go out and fight with people, it will only exacerbate his condition even more. If it gets any worse, he could die suddenly at any time!”
Feng nodded, “Good. I got it, thanks doctor.”
…
When he was brought into the hospital room again, he was already as lifeless as if he had no signs of life, just lying there quietly and calmly on the bed. Only, his face was full of exhaustion and suppressed pain. Even though he was covered with layers and layers of blankets, his entire body was still shivering. The body was unusually cold, as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and the muscles all over the body were flushed with bruises.
Sea Gu looked at the scene in shock, feeling only a little miserable.
Ah Feng glanced at him and pursed his lips before saying, ”The president was indeed at fault for lying to Ms. Baker. This matter has developed to this point, and I can’t shirk my responsibility. However, now that the president is already like this, I hope that you will not stimulate him for the time being. You also heard the doctor’s words, the president’s situation is very bleak …”
Looking at Feng’s depressed appearance, Sea Gu really wanted to say something such as: deserved, self-inflicted sins, human cheapness has its own heavenly reward, these vicious words, but her lips moved, in the end, she only said, “Okay, we’ll try our best. Of course, the premise is that he won’t harass Zoey again.”
Sea Gu turned around and pulled open the door of the hospital room to leave, but before he could walk out, he turned back to look at the person on the hospital bed and said to Feng, “I know a few people in the medical authority world, so I will contact them for you. However, there is no guarantee that they have researched WIID.”
Afon froze for a moment before speaking, “Thank you for having the heart.”
Jerry Xiao didn’t know how he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he still felt that it was pitch black in front of him. He opened his eyes that way, and only after a long time did his disorganized pupils gradually come into focus.
“Hey, awake?” The one who spoke, was Zac White. he came over to the side of the bed and waved his hand in front of Jerry Xiao’s face, “Hey, can you see it?”
Frowning, he probed, swatting away the hand he was waving so much it made him dizzy, “Not dead yet …”
Although not dead, but as if in the ghost gate again walked round, powerless to the body can not make strength. When I woke up, all I could think of were the words Owen Baker had said earlier.
