“Aren’t you losers? If your interests were harmed by a company, then go find the person in charge. What could you get from bullying a weak woman?”
There was no need to talk politely to them anymore.
When the men heard her words, one of them said in a low voice, “In that case, shoot them!”
Hearing this, Isaac immediately stood in front of Clara.
The men had just taken out their guns.
The next moment, Clara heard the sound of bullet slicing the air and she could even smell the gun powder.
In just a few second, Isaac, who was protecting her, fell to the ground.
He was covered with blood.
Clara covered her mouth with her hand. She didn’t expect things to turn out like this nor did she expect they would shoot Isaac.
She stared at the men with a cold look in her eyes. She had remembered each of their faces. Someday, she would make them pay.
When the second bullet was about to be fired, Horace arrived. Seeing her license plate, Clara’s hopes were up.
She no longer felt scared the moment she saw him here.
She just wanted to get Isaac to the hospital for treatment right away, after all, he took the bullet for her.
She never wanted this to happen.
At the same time, the men were shocked to see Isaac on the ground. Seeing Horace’s car, they knew that he had come.
As if having received an order, they soon got on their cars. When Horace got out of the car, the men had fled in their cars as if they had never been here.
The only thing that could prove they were here was Isaac, who was covered with blood and lying on the ground.
“Horace, hurry! We need to get Isaac to the hospital!”
Clara didn’t have time to explain everything to Horace, because the bullet just now hit Isaac in the chest.
He was bleeding and in urgent need of a surgery.
This might kill him!
On the way, everyone was looking at Isaac, who was trembling, with worries and hopes that he could survive.
“Sir…” Isaac finally felt relieved to see Horace here.
With him here protecting Clara, Clara would be safe and sound.
“I’m here. Stop talking. We’ll arrive at the hospital soon,” Horace frowned more deeply when he saw Isaac’s injury.
He knew that he owed Isaac a lot over the years. Isaac had done so much for them, and now, he was shot because of them.
Although he felt terrible and guilty, he was worried about Clara and checked if she got hurt.
Fortunately, she was fine. Otherwise, Horace would feel even worse.
He thought that it was all because he didn’t send more men to protect her. If he did, this wouldn’t have happened.
Grabbing her hand, Horace said after a long silence, “I’m sorry.”
Looking at his pale face, Clara knew what was on his mind and how he must have felt just now.
There was still a crisis with the company, and now, she got him more troubles by making his confidant taking a bullet for her. She thought she should be the one saying sorry.
“Horace, he got shot because he tried to protect me.” Clara felt bad. She wished it was her who got shot, at least in that case, she wouldn’t feel guilty.
She was so scared that Isaac might lose his life because of her.
However, they hadn’t arrived in the hospital yet and she was still with her hopes up.
“Alright now. It’s okay,” Horace said, gently stroking her back and trying to comfort her.
Horace knew that Isaac had done a lot for them. Moreover, ever since his betrayal, he had been working even harder for them.
He always put them first. All Horace and Clara wanted now was for him to be okay.
In worried, they got to the hospital.
The nurses soon brought a stretcher. The moment Isaac was carried onto the stretcher, Clara felt relieved.
Now that they were in the hospital, they would know soon if Isaac was going to be okay.
She believed that the doctors were able to save him.
“Ma’am, what happened? What happened to Isaac?”
Just as Clara was lost in thoughts, a nurse walked up to her, grabbed her hand with her eyes filled with tears.
Clara recognized her. She was the nurse that called to stop Isaac when she was discharged from the hospital.
“He got shot because he wanted to protect me,” Clara said with guilt as she looked at Esther Clarke, the nurse.
“He got shot? Where?”
Esther was walking around in the hospital when she saw a patient in the stretcher with a scar on his hand.
She remembered the scar. She had seen it on Isaac’s hand.
In anxiety, Esther followed along.
“In the chest.”
Hearing Clara’s answered, Esther stopped crying. It was not that she no longer felt sad, but that the fact was overwhelming for her.
Isaac was shot in the chest? It meant he might…
Esther was a nurse, of course she knew what it meant. She didn’t know what to do now.
She could only join Clara and Horace in waiting for Isaac’s surgery.
“Horace, after Isaac’s fine, I think he should stop being our bodyguard.” Seeing how worried and nervous Esther looked, Clara knew that she had fallen in love with Isaac.
She liked Esther and wanted to agree to them being together after Isaac recovered.
Isaac had his own life to live, he couldn’t be their bodyguard forever.
“I agree.” Horace took a look at Esther and knew what Clara was thinking, therefore, he nodded and agreed.
Isaac had gotten shot because of them, if they kept asking him to work as their bodyguard, Horace couldn’t be sure what more Isaac could do for them.
“Isaac, stay strong for me.” Esther thought that she shouldn’t just stand here and do nothing. She had to do something to let Isaac know she was here for him.
“Isaac, come out and meet me. We can hang out together. I will tell you a secret as long as you walk out now. I can promise you anything if you come out and meet me now!”
Esther shouted at the operation room. Upon seeing this, Horace and Clara didn’t know what they should do.
They could only stare at Esther.
However, soon, a doctor came over because he heard Esther shouting.
“What are you shouting for?”
Seeing that it was a nurse who was making a scene here, the doctor yelled at her.
Hearing his words, Esther looked up at him.
Wiping her tears, she stared at the doctor indifferently.
“What…” the doctor was startled by her gaze and didn’t know what to say.
“You are fired,” Esther said as she took off the doctor’s name plate.
Meanwhile, the door of the emergency room was opened and Esther’s attention was distracted.
She walked up to the surgeon and asked how Isaac was doing.
The surgeon was stunned when she saw Esther, then she said to Horace and Clara, “He’s out of danger now. But he will need some time to recover.”
Hearing her words, the three were finally relieved.
They had been waiting for a long time, and now, they could finally be relieved.
However, when Esther was going to walk into the operation room, she was stopped by the doctor.
“The operation room needs to be kept germ-free.”
Hearing this, Esther stopped and waited for the nurse to get Isaac out.
The second she saw Isaac with his face ghastly pale, Esther’s heart ached.
She turned to look at Clara and Horace and asked, “How much do you pay him? I’ll double it.”
She didn’t want Isaac to work for them anymore.
