Chapter 294 End of Remarriage
The sound of Elly's cry was deafening.
Aron, the reason for her despair, came to take Elly away. But as soon as she tried to approach Elly, the building wall exploded and every stone brick was shot at his footsteps. He backed away but was hit in the back by a big stone that caused his body to fall to the ground. The shocked Rosalyn who was sprawled on the ground gradually crawled forward.
Her eyes were full of the determined search for hope. Rosalyn extended her arms to him. "Please save me. Save my child." In her gasping breath, she pleaded to Aron.
The cry of Elly sounded again in his ear. Aron watched Alex protected Elly. He used his body as her shield, and his eyes became red with jealousy.
Sirens, ambulances, and firefighters' noise sounded at the same time. The sudden commotion outside quickly urged him to make a decision.
"Thank you." Aron decided. Rosalyn was hit in the back by a big stone. With blood in her mouth, she kept begging and looked at Aron as her arm stretched out and trembled.
With the gray dust, the fire behind them grew bigger and bigger and became horrifying.
Elly's wail was choked and was like a blade that pierced Aron's heart. With ruthlessness and cruelty in his dark eyes, he stood up and ran away before the police came to rescue him from the ruins.
Rosalyn's stretched arms fell and the smoke engulfed her body.
Elly pushed Alex's body with a thrust and pleaded with him with a hoarse voice. "You don't have to protect me. Go away, Elly. Leave me and get out of here."
With his arms on the ground, Alex pulled his body at a small distance and all the bricks in the explosion hit him. More and more blood bled gushed from his abdomen. His vision became blurry and the outline of Elly's face could no longer be seen. With determination and will slowly come out of his throat, as if he was pulling out all the strength of his body.
"I don't want to leave you behind. Hang in there, okay? The police are here. Gerald will send someone over right away. Don't worry, love."
She burst into tears and pressed her hands against the wound in his abdomen. She feared that more and more blood would flow through her hands. "Don't say it, don't say it again. You need to listen to me. " The pungent dust made Elly cough."
"Elly. I love you. I'll love you eternally."
"Say that when you are healthy. Let me know all your feelings, Alex when you are safe, hmm?" Elly panicked and put her hand around Alex's neck. She bent over to reached him and slowly said in his ear.
"I love you. I only love you all my life. Don't scare me, please."
An explosion fell on the two of them, causing Alex Hargreaves to fell and hold her tightly, overturning the whole stone. Elly's head was suffocated by the smoke, and she unconsciously fell into oblivion. But then, her arms were still wrapped around Alex's neck.
When she fainted, she did not know that the two of them were dug up from the rubble by the rescue team. Alex's body was so dilapidated that it took a lot of effort to take her hand off her husband.
Elly woke up two days later. The white ceiling was the first thing that greeted her eyes. Her dazed mind gradually remembered what happened before the coma, and she looked around in panic and tried to look for Alex.
The body was taut and her legs felt stiff. Her legs were hung on the bed next to him, allowing Elly's heart to return to its original position. She laid trembling on the bed, but because she had been lying on it for a long time, her muscles became numb and she staggered forward and pounced on his body quietly.
There was a violent impact, but Alex Hargreaves did not respond at all. She panicked and staggered as she approached him. "Alex please fight. Don't scare me. Don't waver."
One hand quickly grabbed Elly's wrist, and the familiar voice of Secretary Gerald sounded. It was only then that Elly noticed that there was Gerald in the room. It turned out that he guarded the two people in the hospital room.
"How many days have I been in a coma?" Elly asked.
"Two days."
Elly remembered the gunshot made by Aron. The images of him that insisted on using his body to protect her flashed in her mind. She trembled and asked. "How's his injury?"
"The bullet went through the spleen and underwent a splenectomy."
"Spleen? Will there be any side effects on his health in the future?" She interrupted Gerald in panic, anxiously fired another question.
"It does not affect life. But you should go to the hospital regularly to prevent infection." Secretary Gerald's eyes fell on Alex's tight legs.
"He got a leg fracture and lower rib fracture. The doctor will perform his surgery tomorrow."
Elly staggered and almost fell. She didn't expect Alex to be so badly hurt. All she knew that the warmth of his resolute body hung over her and protected her all the way from all the pressure of the bomb as the stones collapsed on them.
Elly stretched her hand on the and stroked the face Alex that emitted steam. She looked at Alex with heartache, his face imprinted with many bruises and deep wrinkles, and his heartbeat was faint. She leaned over, kissed his broad forehead, went down to the kiss corners of his eyes, gently touched his nose, and stroked his bearded chin.
"Fortunately. You're safe."
Gerald quietly watched over Elly and felt sorry for Alex. He cannot bear to witness anymore the heartbreaking scene in front of him so he planned to go out and call a doctor to examine her. But then, Elly suddenly called him back.
"Did you catch Aron?"
Tears no longer fell on her face, and when Aron's name came out of her mouth, her eyes were filled with hatred and disgust.
"I'm sorry we couldn't find him anymore, he escaped, unfortunately," he said frankly.
"The scene of the explosion was in chaos. The venue collapsed, the camera was destroyed, the fugitives subordinates of the two opposing parties were both dead. The police invited Aron to work, but the lawyer released him on bail."
Elly realized that Gerald could not look directly into her eyes, and she was skeptical. "Is there something you're not telling me?"
A terrible thought sparkled in his mind. Elly came over, grabbed his hand, and questioned him. "Did something happen? Please don't keep it from me. I want to know everything about him."
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Gerald stretched out his hand and shook his head to admit it. "The general health is stable, the splenectomy is successful, the screw is placed on his leg, and the best specialist is arranged."
"Is there something more you're not telling me?" She looked at his thin face, her weary sunken eyes, and kept asking.
"This is Mr. Hargreaves' business. It turned out that before Brandon was arrested, he installed commercial espionage on Alex's body, and now Aron began to disclose it to the net, and a lot of economic secret information was known by opponents. I was running back and forth between the hospital and the Hargreaves' Company, so I was a little uncomfortable."
As she heard to Gerald about Alex's affirmation that his health had nothing to do with it, Elly breathed a sigh of relief. She said sincerely. "Is there anything I can do to help? Let me help Alex enters this stage. Before I worked at the Torch Company, I knew everything in the firm like the back of my hand."
Gerald's eyes sparkled. He let Elly exposed some crucial deeds that she knew like the back of her hand.
After some time, Secretary Elly and Gerald ran back and forth between the hospital and Mu like a space shuttle. they were very helpless, but they already knew who their opponent was in the dark so that the investigation and response were not helpless to work together to fix the loophole in the theft of secrets.
Elly sometimes goes to his own design room, Lesley, an assistant, shouted hurriedly.
"Sister Elly, you should not force yourself to work too much." She looks blue and dumbfounded.
Elly just smiled and the pen in her hand never stopped. She has been busy with the Hargreaves' side for so long that the work of the design room has been condensed a lot.
More than ten days have passed, and if she doesn't have a job to stick to and attract attention, she will surely collapse because she is worried about Alex. He has not yet woken up, although the spleen operation has been completed, the doctor said that he had a severe concussion. It's too early for him to get up and, it is impossible to have a definite answer.
Elly was so busy during the day. She retreated and slept by Alex's bed and waited for him to wake up at night. Ten days have passed seemed you seem to be running out of hope and patience.
"Today I have to get off work two hours early. If you haven't finished your workloads by today, you can do it tomorrow. I'll finish it if I come early." Gerald said as he piled the papers in front of Elly.
"Do you have any questions?" Elly tapped quickly on the keyboard without taking her eyes off the computer screen.
"It seems that Linda is going to have a physical examination today."
When she heard of her good friend, Elly raised her head and looked at him to urge him to talk more.
"Linda's condition and the matter are very important. Come back quickly and let me visit her."
Linda Peart left by helicopter with Kitten that day. Due to strenuous exercise, she suffered the threat of miscarriage psychologically. For the next month, her gynecologist doctor settled made tons of examination for her to get better.
Secretary Gerald locked Linda Peart in the hospital and did not let her go home. When Elly visited, she cried bitterly because she was lying in the same place as a cripple.
The fetus showed signs of miscarriage, which made Elly felt guilty. She is connected and close to these two friends. If something goes wrong with the child of her friend in Linda Peart's belly, she knew that her best friend will feel the pain of losing a child like what she did long ago, which is terrible.
Secretary Gerald nodded and left the office.
Elly continued to press the button, pressed the archive, and leaned his shoulder against the big leather chair.
This is Alex's office, where she has worked for more than ten days. The first day, she opened Alex's computer. The password is her date of birth, the screen is also her and Kitten. Elly also found a lot of photo files about her.
She did not know whether to scold Alex as a pervert or to be moved by his sincerity.
Elly sighed and went on with her work. Now she needs time to race. She doesn't want Hargreaves' to waver and be acquired or defeated by people like Aron.
The moment she left the building, the whole company was off duty. Elly went directly to the hospital to see Linda Peart.
"Have you had dinner yet?" Linda Peart swallowed a mouthful of porridge, then turned to ask Elly.
"I didn't get here until I finished my meal." Elly is not hungry at all. She has neither appetite nor mood to eat recently when Alex hasn't woken up yet.
Sitting back and watching Linda Peart taken care of by Secretary Gerald, Elly felt relieved about his friend's health and asked to leave.
"Take a break. I don't want to break your lovey-dovey mood. I'm going back to Alex's room."
Linda Peart followed Elly as soon as her hand pushed the door.
"You don't need to see her. She doesn't deserve your feelings and worry."
