Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 861

Outside the operating room.

When Morgan came over with a cup of water, he saw Elaine seated on the chair. In fact, she didn't even move an inch, and she looked like a statue.

How long had she been sitting in that position? Was it an hour? Or two hours?

Anyhow, she had been sitting there since Vincent entered the operating room.

At that moment, she was in a terrible state, and it was a ghastly sight as there were dried bloodstains all over her body. On such a night, in the corridor of a hospital, she did look a little scary.

Slowly, he walked over and asked, "Miss Jacob?"

However, Elaine didn't budge.

Left with no choice, he took a seat next to her and uttered, "Miss Jacob, go and have a rest. I'll be here."

Immediately, she shook her head.

Then, he handed over the water in his hand. "Have some water first, and we will wait together."

Although she had no appetite to eat or drink anything, she raised her head and smiled faintly to comfort him, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me..."

It was only then that Morgan realized Elaine's face was ghastly pale, and she seemed spiritless. Shocked, he asked, "Miss Jacob, are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm fine. What else could happen to me..." Calmly, she answered, "We have been waiting for so long, and they should be done anytime soon. Since Dr. Perkins had not come out to tell us anything, it should be nothing serious. You can rest assured."

"I hope so too."

Then, he put the cup aside and asked, "Miss Jacob, could you tell me how did he get hurt?"

As she lowered her gaze, she said bitterly, "Allen didn't die from the gunshot, so when he was about to take me away, Allen tried to fire another shot at me, but he was holding me in his arms, so he took the bullet for me..."

For a moment, Morgan was silent. After a long while, he sighed.

With a bitter smile, she said, "I didn't expect him to take the bullet for me either. It really surprised me..."

"Well, I'm not surprised. All this time, his feelings toward you were sincere, so it's reasonable for him to do something like this."

Suddenly, her lips moved, and she tried to say something, but in the end, she didn't.

After a long wait, there was finally movement at the door of the operating room.

When Howard appeared in his white coat, Elaine wanted to hurry over, but she ended up falling to the ground, and Morgan stared at her in shock. Although she gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, the wound on her leg was too painful, and she suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Immediately, Howard strode over, carried her up from the ground, and put her gently on the chair. Then, he squatted in front of her to check her wound.

Meanwhile, she held his hand and asked eagerly, "Did the operation succeed?"

"He's alive. The operation was successful, and the bullets were completely taken out. Don't worry."

"That's great..."

It was only then that Elaine let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, she collapsed onto the chair weakly as if her entire body was cramping.

For so long, she had been so tensed, and she was on tenterhooks. Now that she heard these words, she felt like crying.

But she was attacked by a sharp pain.

In a low voice, she exclaimed, "Hiss..."

As soon as Howard ripped off her pants, he flew into a rage. "Elaine, you're crazy, aren't you? Why didn't you tell me that you were shot? Why did you hold it in? Do you want to lose your leg?"

With a smile, she comforted him. "Dr. Perkins, I'm fine..."

"Shut up!"

Furiously, he picked her up horizontally and carried her directly into another operating room. "I'm going to take you to deal with your wounds now. You don't have to worry about him."

"Okay."

Slowly, she leaned her head on his shoulder. At that moment, she felt exhausted, and she wanted to sleep.

When Elaine woke up, she found herself in a cozy bed. Then, she noticed that Howard was making a call at the balcony in a low voice as if he was afraid of waking her up.

Quietly, she stared at his back and did not say anything.
