The central square was still in a state of chaos. Some of Benny’s loyal supporters fell to the ground and cried after receiving the bad news. However, some of the more rational people were still paying attention to Benny’s follow-up treatment.
At this moment, in the private room of the restaurant, the bodyguards outside were waiting. The atmosphere in the private room was very tense.
Emma crouched in Archie’s arms for a few minutes and slowly raised her head. Fear was written on her face.
“Archie, should we go to the hospital to see your uncle’s condition?” Emma’s voice was not steady and was trembling.
Archie once again pressed her little head back into his arms, his fingers stroking her delicate shoulders. “Don’t be anxious. Let’s see what the situation is first.”
Emma frowned a little, not understanding. It was already a life and death situation, how could she not be anxious?
“Archie, tell me honestly. This shooting incident, does it have anything to do with my father?” Emma could not calm down. Her voice was weak as she asked him in a low voice.
“Yes!” Archie slightly looked to the side and saw her small face turn pale. After that, he hugged her even tighter.
Emma’s two small hands subconsciously grabbed onto his lapels, and they both became two folds.
What should I do? It really had something to do with her father. If Benny was shot and killed, how should she face Archie?
Archie seemed to have seen through her thoughts. A slender finger reached out and gently lifted her chin.
When he saw her biting her lips, the bright red lip bit out a circle of snow white.
“You are not allowed to bite!” His voice was soft and gentle. However, there was an unquestionable majesty.
“Archie. . . If, if your uncle. . . ” Emma did not know if she should continue, because it was like a curse.
A pair of clear misty eyes with teary eyes trembled in panic. She looked straight into the man’s gloomy eyes and said in an unstable voice. “Can we still be together? Do you hate me?”
Archie looked at her nervous little face and his thin lips slightly hooked up. “No matter what, you are my woman. I will not easily leave you behind.”
“Really? You will not leave because my father kill your uncle. . . ”
Before Emma could finish, Archie’s phone rang. She forgot what to say.
At this moment, Archie’s finger pressed against her soft lip and made a shushing gesture to her.
Emma immediately wanted to bite off her tongue. Just now, she was thinking of not mentioning the word ‘kill’. Why did she still mention it?
Archie put one of his fingers on her lip and took out his phone with the other hand to answer the call.
“Is it important?” His voice rang.
“Young master, as you expected, it’s a rubber bullet. It’s not fatal.” The one who answered was James. He had been specially arranged by Archie to be by Benny’s side. At this moment, he was the messenger, and Archie’s heart was completely at ease.
Emma did not even dare to breathe loudly. Her lips were pressed by his fingers, and she had a strange feeling.
The heat from his fingers spread to her lip bit by bit, making Emma’s brain lack oxygen. Even the wind that blew in from outside the window seemed to be dyed a few times, and it was unclear what kind of ambiguous feeling it was.
Archie did not say anything more and directly turned off his phone. In the next moment, his finger left her lip and directly lifted her delicate chin. His thin lips fiercely kissed her soft and delicate lip.
“Ar. . . ” Emma was stunned by the man’s sudden passionate kiss.
Her entire body tensed up. His tall body pressed down on her, making her have no choice but to weigh the tip of her toes in order to not feel so uncomfortable.
Her thin lips were as fierce as fire, wrapping around her soft and sweet lips and tongue.
The surrounding atmosphere had already become somewhat strange. Emma’s two small hands grabbed onto his clothes and at this moment, she changed it to forcefully pushing him.
“Archie. . . ” What kind of time was this? Why was he still in the mood to kiss her?
“Un!” The man’s low and hoarse voice was tainted with a low chuckle: “What’s wrong?”
“Why are you still in the mood to mess around here? You don’t care about your uncle’s injuries anymore?” Emma spent a lot of effort before pushing the man to take a step back. She panted as she questioned him. Her small face was red and hot.
“I care. It is precisely because I care that I suddenly want to kiss you.” The corner of Archie’s mouth curled up. His smile was wicked and detestable.
Emma was stunned again. What was this? Shouldn’t he be acting out of concern?
Archie’s thin lips smiled even wider as he held one of her small hands. “Let’s go home.”
“Go home?” Emma frowned and could not understand.
Archie did not explain anything to her. He just stubbornly held her hand and took her out of the building.
At this moment, the streets were no longer as chaotic as before. The special police were maintaining order.
Six black cars stopped in front of Archie and Emma. Archie opened the car door and blocked her head, sending her into the car. Then, his tall body bent down and sat in the car.
“Archie, let’s go to the hospital to check on the situation, okay? I’m really worried.” Emma nervously shook his large palm and begged him to take her there as soon as possible.
Although she knew that she was not qualified to go to the hospital to see Benny, becuase Dexon was her father after all.
“Do you really want to go to the hospital?” Archie knew that she was feeling guilty. If he did not take her to see the truth, she was afraid that she would have a guilty conscience.
“I really want to go!” Emma nodded her head hard.
“Okay, to the hospital!” Archie gave the order and the car drove towards the military’s First Hospital.
At this moment, Benny was being pushed into the resuscitation room urgently.
Yunita anxiously paced back and forth in the corridor. Her beautiful face was white and colorless.
She kept squeezing her hands and felt that her fingers had become stiff.
“Dad, you must hold on. Don’t let those conspirators’ plan succeed.” Yunita knew that the shooting this time was definitely arranged by Dexon.
In fact, she had previously advised her dad to stop his speech to the outside world, but his dad refused to listen and insisted on giving this speech in the central square.
Now that she had fallen into someone else’s trap and shot her heart, although she knew that her father had the habit of wearing bulletproof vests when he went out. However, she really didn’t know whether the situation was good or bad.
“Cousin, where are you? Why haven’t you come yet? I’m so worried!” Yunita leaned against the wall and muttered to herself.
She did not know when it started, but she felt that Archie was really a man worthy of being relied on. He was smart and reliable, as if there was nothing to be afraid of in this world as long as he was with her.
Yunita kept staring at the lamp on the operation door. The light made her feel uneasy.
She did not know how long had passed. She felt that her heart was about to go numb. Finally, she heard a steady sound of footsteps.
Yunita was delighted in her heart and turned around abruptly.
She saw Archie holding Emma’s little hand and walking towards the corridor together.
Yunita’s eyes instantly stared straight.
Damn Emma, what face did she have to come here to see her father?
Yunita instantly became angry and rushed forward. She pointed at Emma’s face and scolded, “Emma, who asked you to come here? Do you know whether my father is alive or dead? You are? I am not here to watch a good show.”
“Yunita, take your finger away!” Archie stood beside Emma. Emma was pointed at and scolded by Yunita. She subconsciously hid behind him.
If what Archie said was true, this matter had something to do with Dexon. She really shouldn’t have come.
“Cousin, what time is it now? Why are you still protecting her? Didn’t my father get shot by someone who was ordered by Dexon?” Yunita lost her rationality at this moment. She did not care about the situation and directly cursed loudly.
“You need evidence to speak, do you understand?” Archie’s tone was still calm. Furthermore, it was obvious that he was protecting Emma.
Yunita was about to go crazy from anger. How could her cousin be so unfair?
Emma tugged at Archie’s sleeve as if she was silently asking him. Should she really avoid it?
However, Archie gave her a reassuring look.
“Yunita, how long has it been since uncle went in?” Archie asked.
Yunita felt uncomfortable, but Archie’s question calmed her down a little. “Almost half an hour. I don’t know how the situation is.”
“Don’t worry. Just wait a little longer. I believe everything will be fine.” Archie spoke as a form of comfort to her.
Yunita’s eyes were filled with resentment as she glared at Emma, who was still standing beside Archie.
“Cousin, do you dare to say that this incident has nothing to do with Dexon?” Yunita did not lose her mind as much as before. She just asked calmly.
Archie frowned. “The beginning and the end of this matter has already begun to investigate. There will be results.”
Emma could not interject a single word. She could understand Yunita’s hatred towards her, but she was also very helpless.
After all, no one wanted things to come to this point.
But politics was cruel. Power was so attractive. There was only one position and everyone wanted to sit on it.
The atmosphere in the corridor was a bit heavy and stiff.
The three of them leaned against the wall, silent.
At this moment, the people from Benny’s party were waiting in the hall, anxiously discussing what had just happened.
The sounds of discussion were very loud, and everyone was losing control of their emotions.
Suddenly, the light on the operating theater door dimmed.
“He’s out!” Yunita hurried forward.
Archie also frowned.
The chief surgeon walked out and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, Department Head Benny only suffered a superficial injury. His heart was not injured!”
The heavy atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Yunita looked at Archie with a face full of joy. “Cousin, it turns out that there is really a miracle in this world. My father is fine. That’s great!”
Emma opened her big and small mouth and saw the charming figure jump into Archie’s arms. She hugged Archie and cried tears of joy.
“It’s good that you are alright.” Archie pushed the woman in his arms away without a trace and patted her shoulder. “Take good care of uncle. I will go first.”
