The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 279 Operation

"Alright, then." Susan did not doubt anything and just nodded sweetly.

Accompanied by Julian and Jacob, Susan soon finished the check-up procedure.

While they were waiting for the report in the corridor, Julian handed a bottle of water to Susan, and his hand was shaking slightly.

"Have some water, Susie." He tried to make his voice a s natural as possible.

If Susan was vigilant enough, she would have noticed the change in his voice.

However, he was Julian, the person whom she relied o n wholeheartedly.

"Thank you, Julian. How did you know that I'm thirsty?" Susan took over the bottle and took a big gulp.

Sitting beside her, Julian and Jacob watched as she emptied the bottle of water.

Susan smacked her lips and her eyes became misted." Why... does this water taste so weird?"

Before her voice died away, she suddenly felt dizzy and the world in her head began to swirl.

"Julian, the water...” Susan looked puzzlingly at

Julian, then she saw the pain that flowed in the depths of his eyes.

Her heart somersaulted underneath the rib, and she turned around to look at Jacob who averted his eyes the moment he saw her turning her head.

Her mind was getting more and more muddled.

She did not understand what had happened.

It occurred to her that Julian and her brother had done something behind her. However, they were her family. There was no way they would try to hurt her.

But the water...

Before Susan could go any deeper with her thought, a sharp pain shot through her brain and she fell unconscious. 3

Julian had been prepared for this, so he quickly stepped forward and scooped Susan into his arms.

Then, he just stayed there, holding Susan in his arms, without speaking or making any move.

Looking at them hugging together, a sharp pang of pain shot through Jacob's heart.

With a hoarse voice, he said, "Julian, why don’t we just H

Let it be.

The last three words were stuck in his throat, and he could not spell it out no matter how hard he tried.

Susan’s life mattered above everything else. Even if the decision was tough, they did not have other choices either.

Julian did not reply to Jacob. He just quietly held Susan in his arms. After a while that seemed like an eternity, he went closer to Susan and whispered into her ear, "Please forgive me, Susie.”

He did not hesitate anymore. He stood up, bent over, and scooped Susan up. Then, he turned around and marched towards the end of the corridor.

Jacob stood at the side. He felt as if his legs had been cemented to the floor, and no matter how much he willed himself to move, they just would not budge.

He did not dare to imagine how Susan would react when she came to her senses.

He was just a bystander, yet his heart was trembling with a pang of insurmountable guilt and agony. As the person who made the decision and arranged everything, how would Julian feel?

Jacob watched as Julian sent Susan into the operation room. The door to the operation room was closed, yet Julian was still standing in front of the door like a statue.

Pressing his lips thin, Jacob walked up to Julian and stood beside him. He did not say anything, and just patted Julian's shoulders.

In the past, he always felt that Julian was not the man for Susan. After all, his family was too complicated.

It was just that Susan loved him a lot, so he did not say anything.

However, at this moment, when he saw how lost and guilty Julian was, only then did he recognize the man.

He was afraid that he could not find another man who would love Susan so much anymore.

After a long while, Julian opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse. "Susie, she will hate me, right?"

"I guess she will hate me too," Jacob added, and they fell silent again.

After some moments of silence, both of them heard a loud commotion from the other side of the corridor.

What happened?

Julian's eyes shrunk.

He had booked the entire hospital in order to carry out the operation. Those visitors, patients, and doctors that came and went were actors that he arranged to deceive Susan.

Susan was the only patient in this hospital today. As such, there should not be any noise at this moment.

"Mr. Shaw, someone, someone..." A guard ran over in a panic.

Julian's face turned grim.

The guard did not have to come and inform him since he could already see the group of people in the corridor.

A dozen muscular men that came from nowhere were rushing into the corridor.

Even though Julian had arranged a lot of men, aside from a few of his bodyguards, most of them were normal people. This group of men all had very tall statures and they were trained professionally.

Very soon, they broke through the barricade.

Julian looked coldly at Luke who was standing in the center of the crowd, "What brought you here today, Mr. Jenkins?"

His hands had balled into fists.

He did not know why Luke would suddenly make an appearance at this crucial moment.

"Julian Shaw,” Luke threw Julian a frigid glare, "I didn't know that you were such a good actor. If I knew that you were such a b*st*rd, I wouldn't have handed Susie to you!"

After that, he barked out his order, "Go! Smash the door!"

Hearing his instruction, the group of men rushed forward.

"No one can pass over here!" Julian sent a kick to the man who rushed in first.

"You still want to stop me?" Luke hissed through gritted teeth, "Julian, Susie has been with you for so long. Has she ever done anything wrong to you? Even i f you don't love her anymore, even if you already have another new love, can’t the Shaws even afford to raise a child? Even a tiger will not eat its own cub. You’re even worse than an animal!”

Luke's eyes were bloodshot. His brain was filled with all the old and recent grudges he had with Julian.

He had been holding a grudge against Julian for sending his mother into prison, and now he was going to send the woman he loved the most to the operating table.

His sympathy for Susan made his anger burn even larger.

"Shut up! You don’t understand anything!" shouted Julian as he kicked another man away.

"Yes, I don't understand anything,” Luke said coldly, "I just know that no matter what reason I have, I will never deceive the woman that I love the most and send her onto the operating table! If you don't like Susie anymore, give her back to me. If you don’t want the baby, I'll take it! Now, get lost! I want to bring Susie away from here."

Julian’s face was livid with rage. Just when he was about to say anything, Luke threw himself at Julian and shouted, "Go! Smash the door!”

The group of men charged forward.

Jacob tried to stop them, but he was pushed to the

side. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Just as Julian shrugged Luke off, the door to the operating room was opened.

Luke was thrown to the corner, but he soon scrambled up from the floor.

All of the doctors were looking at each other dumbfoundedly. It was very noisy outside, so they had stopped doing the operation a long time ago.

They did not know if they wanted to continue the operation or not.

"Susie, Susie, wake up!" Luke's eyes shone brightly as h e shouted.

Fortunately, he was not too late. Susan was safe.
