Chapter 711 Unexpected

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Boss Bear was naturally shaken. Looking at Sammy Jones, whose face was already pale, he nodded, and a few people set up Sammy Jones and walked away. Joey Xu’s line of sight fell on her until she completely disappeared from his eyes, and only then did his line of sight draw back.
Until this moment, Joey Xu hanging heart, only finally fell.
Out here, Goodburn can get Sammy Jones back anytime he wants.
“Pull a chair over and let Mr. Xu sit down.” Boss Bear commanded.
Immediately, someone brought chairs over. Joey Xu was not polite, wiped the corners of his lips, and sat down in a big way.
“Or do you want me to help you launder your money?”
“That’s right.” Boss Xiong lit a cigarette and smiled without smiling, “Just now there were many offenses. This I really can’t help, the brothers on the road look up to me and call me a boss, I have to give them an explanation.”
“As long as you help me to whitewash this money, in the future, you walk your sunny road, we cross our log bridge, do not entangle each other. Of course, if you do not agree …” Boss Bear blew his cigarette, a little starlight fluttered in the air, extinguished. A few points of cruelty floated out of his eyes, “I also have ways to make you promise.”
What method?
Naturally, he started with Joey Xu’s weakness. Today, his weakness is Sammy Jones!
“Okay, it’s just money laundering, isn’t it? I’ll take it!”
I thought Joey Xu was not that convincing, but, unexpectedly, he agreed. Boss Bear suspiciously looked at Joey Xu, who stood up and glared at him warningly, “Don’t touch my woman again, or else, you won’t even know how you’ll die!”
Giving his word, he turned and headed out of the garage.
Someone was about to stop him when Boss Bear gave a wink, “Let him go!”
Boss Bear looked at that back for a long time and took several puffs of smoke.
“Boss, is it going to be okay?”
He grunted, “What could it be? Just wait to count the money! I’m relieved that he’s doing his job!”
Coming out of the underground garage, Joey Xu tensed up and braced himself until he reached his car. Opening the car door and sitting in, he covered his chest and spat out blood again with a ‘wow’.
Damn it!
I’m afraid I hurt my internal organs.
Goodburn’s phone had come flying in, “Sir, Miss Jones has been taken by them to Blue Mountain Hospital, we’re hot on their heels now.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
“You are also injured?” Yoshimoto heard something wrong in his tone. Joey Xu didn’t say any more, just hung up the phone and tossed it aside.
Joey Xu rushed to Blue Mountain Hospital when Sammy Jones was still unconscious. Luckily, there were no major injuries, just a bump on the head from the car accident and shock, which is why he stayed unconscious.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and in the next instant, also fainted right in the doorway of the hospital room.
“Sir!” Yoshimoto whimpered, “Doctor! Doctor!”
The white-robed doctor came over immediately and wheeled him into the resuscitation room.
“Internal bleeding, prepare for surgery!”
Even lying there unconscious, Sammy Jones’ heart was full of uneasiness. As if he was being tortured by a nightmare, his brow was always furrowed, and his forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
“Joey Xu!” she exclaimed, jolting out of bed.
The pallor that filled her eyes confused her for a moment. It took a moment to realize she was in a hospital.
Where’s Joey Xu?
She was in the hospital, so where is Joey Xu now?!
She lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed when a hand held down her shoulder. “Miss Jones, hold still for a moment, you’ve only just woken up and are not fit to walk right away. Otherwise you’ll pass out again in a few moments!”
It was Dr. Chen who spoke.
Sammy Jones was actually unrecognizable, and the last time Dr. Chan had seen her at the villa, she had been confused and not lucid.
“Doctor, don’t stop me, I can walk. I’m going to get someone!” Sammy Jones was in a hurry.
“But to Mr. Xu?”
“You know Joey Xu. so do you know where he is now? How is he?” Sammy Jones couldn’t stop the tears from rolling out of his eyes as he thought of the image before he passed out. Did something happen to him?
“Don’t worry, Mr. Xu is fine, he just came out of the operating room, and he’s sleeping now too.”
“Surgery?” Sammy Jones seized on those two words.
Dr. Chen lost his smile, “Don’t worry, it’s just a minor surgery. He hasn’t energized any storms, this small injury is nothing to him.”
Although Dr. Chen spoke in a cloudy manner, Sammy Jones didn’t hear it that way in his ears. It’s still a minor injury even after surgery, so you can imagine what kind of life he’s been living in the past!
Heart wringing in pain, she busily asked, “Doctor, which ward is he in, I want to see him.”
Dr. Chen looked at her, although her current situation was best to stay and rest, but she clearly had her heart flown to Joey Xu. He had to tell her the ward number.
Sammy Jones didn’t pause for a minute and immediately darted over.
Outside the hospital room, Goodburn and the others were still standing guard. When they saw her coming, they all greeted her in unison, “Miss Jones.”
Sammy Jones peered into the hospital room and asked softly, “Can I go in and see him?”
Goodburn didn’t say anything as she explained, “I’ll just check on him, I won’t disturb him.”
Yoshimoto nodded, “Good, you can go in, I’m sure the gentleman would like to know you’re well too.”
Sammy Jones nodded and pulled the door open, gently entering. Joey Xu was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, without the usual oppressive feeling, the whole person looked weak. The injury on her face was wrapped in gauze, making her feel heartbroken. Eyes, all of a sudden red.
She walked over, pulled up a chair, and silently sat down on the edge of his bed. His hand, resting just above the covers, still had an IV hanging from his arm.
She took a deep breath, sucking back the soreness from the tip of her nose and her eyes, and reached up to clasp his large palms together. The fingertips, cold and without a trace of warmth, made her heart flutter.
Subconsciously gripping it tighter, he bent his head, and kissed the back of his hand.
I don’t know if there is a sense, his finger actually moved. Sammy Jones thought it was noisy him, shocked immediately to take back his hand, but, before the finger has time to move away, he suddenly flexed his fingers to hold.
The grip was so tight, so hard, as if she would disappear at any moment if she loosened it just a little.
The heart trembled.
He was heard murmuring in a daze, “Sammy Jones …”
The tears that she had just tried so hard to hold back were finally uncontrollable at this moment. One by one, they fell down, and she responded softly and chokingly, “I’m here. You rest well, I will always be with you …”
Her hand, holding his firmly. Afraid that tears would fall on the back of his hand, she reached up to wipe them away.
Seemingly sensing her warmth, he was a little more at ease, and his tense hand loosened a little. However, the hand holding her never loosened.
Sammy Jones watched his sleeping face mesmerized, his mind going back and forth to the words Joey Xu had said to her during the accident.
He said … he loved her …
His words can’t be made false.
Mind swaying, she bent her head to his ear, crying and whispering, “Joey Xu, I also love you … very much! So, you have to be good, always be good …”
It’s because of too much love that there’s no room for gravel in your eyes.
That’s why when she saw him with another woman, when she saw him take off his wedding ring, she couldn’t help but mess up her thoughts, become unlike herself, become so cautious, become afflicted …
I don’t know how long he sat on the edge of the bed, but Sammy Jones just plopped down and fell asleep.
The hand, all the time, was held by him, held hard.
Joey Xu also stayed asleep because the warmth of his hand made him feel an unspeakable peace of mind. She is still there, and, she is still well, so that is good …
Two hours later, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside by the nurse. The warm scene in the ward was so warm that even the nurse, who was an outsider, felt cozy.
Not wanting to disturb the two people, she deliberately slowed down her steps and carefully helped Joey Xu to pull out the needle from his hand. Her movements were as gentle as possible, but Joey Xu was always very vigilant, and he woke up just as she pulled out the pillow.
” Mr. Xu, you’re awake.”
The nurse greeted immediately.
Joey Xu only felt that every part of his body ached terribly, and in some places it was as if his bones were cracking. Hand, subconsciously moved, only to feel held by a soft hand. The line of sight looked over, and saw Sammy Jones lying on the side of the bed, she slept very deeply, her sleeping face was peaceful, let people look at it and feel calm in their hearts.
The pain in her body seemed to dissipate in this instant. The heart that had been worrying about her for so long finally calmed down. Her right hand was held in his hand, without the thin ring on her finger.
He laughed bitterly.
Sammy Jones really isn’t one to be taken down. He took it down, and she followed suit right then and there.
” Mr. Xu, is your head still spinning? If the wound hurts …”
“Hush …” the nurse’s concerned words were cut off by a gesture he made, “Don’t disturb her.”
His eyes always stared at Sammy Jones face, the eyes are as soft as autumn water, rippling with a light and soft light, even the nurses on the side to see are intoxicated.
“Got any blankets? Please bring a bed over.” Joey Xu then turned her eyes to the nurse.
The little nurse came back to her senses and immediately nodded, “Yes, you wait.”
She turned and fished out a thin blanket from one of the ward cupboards, Joey Xu half sat up and took the blanket with his free other hand. The nurse was busy lowering her voice, ” Mr. Xu, you can’t move yet.”
“I know, it doesn’t matter.” As Dr. Chen had said, this was a minor injury for him. Lifting the blanket, he gently rested it on Sammy Jones’ back.
She seemed to feel it, and seemed oblivious to it, her long, fan-like eyelashes fluttered gently, but, did not open her eyes.
Looking at that dainty look, Joey Xu smiled openly.
Did not say anything else, just waved his hand with the nurse, signaling her to go out. The nurse originally wanted to explain too many facts, but seeing this situation naturally also embarrassed to disturb.
He was busy nodding and gently exited.
Joey Xu enjoying the moment.
The whole ward was filled with the smell of medicine, something he resented the most. However, having her around seemed to be much more comfortable.
After another half hour, she suddenly woke up from her dream. joey Xu was looking at her, and was startled by this.
Her sleepy eyes immediately looked to the top of his head.
“The needle’s been removed? It’s okay it’s okay …” she mumbled heartily.
Joey Xu looked at her long sigh of relief and just felt cute. But once he saw the injury on her forehead, he felt heartbroken again.
“Is that what scared you awake?”
“You awake? Did I wake you up?” Sammy Jones realized only as an afterthought that he was awake. His hand was still holding hers, “Been awake for over an hour. Woke up when the nurse was pulling my stitches.”
“Well? Does it still hurt a lot? What parts of the body are hurt, can you let me take a look?” Sammy Jones asked repeatedly, his eyes full of worry.
Joey Xu shook his head, “Minor injury, no need to look.”
All those long healed wounds from last time had made her uncomfortable.
“And you? How’s the body?” Joey Xu looks at her.
She smiled and shook her head, “I’m fine, it’s you who’s not fine now.”
