Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Perspiration beads are forming on Javier Zhong’s face as blood is gushing out uncontrollably from the wounded areas.

Shocked by this scene before her eyes, Stephanie Ruan opened her mouth but she could not speak a word!

At this point, her hands are shaking non-stop as she struggles to remove her outerwear so that she could use it to tie around his wounded areas to stop the blood from flowing out.

Thankfully for him, the two gunshots are very close to each other and one jacket is enough to apply pressure on both wounds.

“Can you try to get up??” Stephanie Ruan asked worriedly while putting one of his arms over her shoulder as she tries to figure out the best way to help him to a standing position.

The two of them struggled for a while before successfully getting up together.

“Be careful. I’m not sure if he has left this place yet.” Stephanie Ruan warned Javier Zhong in a soft voice as they took slow steps toward the door.

With his current state, they better not run into ‘X’ again. Because if they do, they would have a very slim chance of leaving this place unscathed or in the same condition.

“Stephanie, pass the gun to me.” Hearing Javier Zhong’s low voice coupled with his irregular breathing, one could easily tell that he is suppressing the pain in his body.

“Don’t you already have a gun with you? Plus, I know how to fire a shot.” She continued to converse with him in a soft yet determined voice.

Facing Stephanie Ruan’s persistent attitude, Javier Zhong could only respond to her helplessly, “I know, but I don’t want you to ‘dirty’ your hands. Give it to me, I’ll do the job.”

Despite being in extreme pain, he still spoke to her in a doting manner.

Well, it is not that he does not believe in her capability to handle a gun. In fact, he knows that she is equipped with the skills to do an excellent job.

But this time, he simply wants to protect her and not let her have any association with a dangerous man like ‘X’.

If she were to fire a shot at ‘X’ today, Javier Zhong could not guarantee that a vengeful person like ‘X’ would not hunt her down in the future.

“…”

Clearly, Stephanie Ruan does not know what he is thinking about… But seeing his serious injuries, she does not want to argue with him further.

Obediently handing over the weapon to him, she used her now empty hand to support him as they made their way to the main entrance.

Just as they were approaching the door…

-Sound of door opening-

“!!!…”

Both Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan froze in their steps!C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Without any hesitation, Javier Zhong pointed the gun at the door while pushing Stephanie Ruan to the back and ensuring that she is well hidden behind him.

“…”

The minute the door swing open, Isaac Wen’s face immediately came into his view.

With a sigh of relief, Javier Zhong dropped his gun to the ground.

Isaac Wen rushed over to help support Javier Zhong together with Stephanie Ruan while ordering some men to comb the area inside the building.

“Chairman Zhong!! You were shot by ‘X’?!” Isaac Wen is having a hard time digesting this absurd situation.

His boss, who is recognised as an exceptional shooter, has never failed to miss the bull’s eyes at the shooting range, is actually injured by ‘X’ now?

What exactly happened to him today??…

Little did he know that his seemingly perfect boss actually has one big weakness – that is the love of his life.

…

“Chairman Zhong, the car is just right outside. We will send you to the nearest hospital immediately!”

Earlier when Javier Zhong had left the car for the forest alone, Isaac Wen searched their surrounding areas via a digital map and found a building nestled in the middle of the forest.

He took the risk and got most of their men to comb the forest while a few cars went by the other direction to reach the building.

And thankfully he had made the right call, otherwise, they would not have found ‘X’ who was frantically running down from his driveway, trying to escape from this place!

…

“Javier! Don’t close your eyes!!” Stephanie Ruan kept ‘slapping’ his face anxiously so he would not lose consciousness.

Seeing that he is about to fall into an unconscious state, she panicked and called out to Isaac Wen, “Isaac! How long more to the hospital?!”

“Madam, I am stepping on it. It usually takes 40 minutes to get to this hospital from where we are, but I will make sure we reach there in 15!”

15 minutes??!!…

Javier Zhong does not look like he could hang in there for even the next few minutes!

With her slightly watery eyes, Stephanie Ruan shook his body and hit his shoulder a few times. She did whatever she could think of to help him stay awake…

Including blabbering some ‘nonsensical’ words??…

“Javier Zhong!! You better not sleep now!! You said you will make me your girlfriend!”

“You haven’t done it yet, so don’t you dare to die right now!”

“Do you hear me?! Javier Zhong, wake up!!”

Well, it is only when we are in a vulnerable state that we are willing to let our guard down and allow our heart to speak for us right?

“…”

Miraculously, her words worked because, in that instant, Javier Zhong forced himself to open his heavy eyelids and spoke a few words to her.

“Stephanie… you agreed to be my girlfriend?” Even though his voice is very weak, one could sense a trace of happiness in his tone.

“If you make it out of the operation theatre alive, I will marry you!”

Marry him??…

Hearing her promise to him is almost like instant pain relief for his wounds. Javier Zhong could not wait to reach the hospital at this second!

He vowed to definitely make it out of there alive to marry her!

…

At the hospital, the medical team immediately pushed Javier Zhong into the operating theatre.

“Madam, I’m sorry, you cannot enter!” The surgeon spoke with urgency and stopped Stephanie Ruan from entering with them.

As soon as the operating doors closed shut, she collapsed to the ground in a daze.

“!!…”

“Madam! Are you alright?? You are also injured, I will get the doctor over to fix your wound.” Isaac Wen quickly helped her up to a seat nearby.

It is evident that Stephanie Ruan is no longer able to think properly. It did not even occur to her that she needed to get her wounds cleaned to prevent an infection.

At this point, her mind is solely filled with Javier Zhong and nothing else mattered more to her.

Ignoring what Isaac Wen had told her, she asked him instead with a worrisome voice, “Isaac… Javier will be fine right??”

“Did they say how long the operation will take??”

“Is his condition very bad??”

She continuously asked Isaac Wen questions, leaving him with no opportunity to respond to her at all.

Well, this is better too, because he truly did not know how to respond to her…

In fact, he really wanted to remind her that he has been with her the entire time and whatever the doctor said, she had heard it too.

“…”

In the next two hours, Isaac Wen had a hard time trying to persuade Stephanie Ruan to allow the medical team to help her with her wounded arm.

However, it was not that she was intentionally making things difficult for him, but because she is worried that the surgeon could come out anytime soon and that she wanted to be ready to speak to him.

Who would have expected that when Stephanie Ruan finally agreed for the doctor to help her with the wounds outside the operating theatre, the surgeon came out at this moment!

Hais… His job is too difficult to do!

“Chairman Zhong is definitely going to chop me up into pieces when he sees her untreated wound later!” Isaac Wen thought to himself while hurriedly following behind Stephanie Ruan without any choice.

“Doctor, how is he??” Stephanie Ruan wasted no time and immediately asked the exhausted surgeon.
