Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488 Tolerating Him For A Long Time

In the meantime, a nurse pushed Claudius out of the operating room of Lusterg's private hospital.

Spencer took one look at Claudius, who was still unconscious due to the anesthesia, and ordered Joe and Allen, "Watch Mr. Lenoir closely."

Knowing it was their fault this time, Joe and Allen could only nod in response to Spencer's strict orders.

None of them expected Bruce and Truce to actually pay someone to attack Claudius.

It was past nine o'clock at night when Joe and Allen were exiting UI's office building with Claudius. While they were escorting him to the condominium, a group of armed men blocked their path in the middle of the road.

At first, the duo thought they had accidentally intruded into the men's territory. To their surprise, the group of armed men began shooting at them.

In order to keep Claudius safe, Joe and Allen had no choice but to drive the car away with the former in it.

Unfortunately, the trio was outnumbered. Most importantly, the other party was armed. No matter how professionally trained Joe and Allen were, the situation was too tough for them to handle.

Hence, Joe and Allen quickly brought Claudius to an abandoned factory nearby. They made sure to hide Claudius properly before heading out to deal with the group of eight.

Since they did not have to keep an eye on Claudius anymore, Joe and Allen attacked their opponents mercilessly.

Never did Joe and Allen expect the other party to be merely keeping them occupied while two of their men sneaked into the abandoned factory to look for Claudius.

By the time Joe and Allen realized that, Claudius had only managed to eliminate one person while another had aimed a gun at him.

The chemistry between Joe and Allen was great, for they had worked together for many years. One of them distracted the opponent, while the other shot at him.

Everything went smoothly until the opponent turned his head and fired a shot at Claudius.

The bullet hit Claudius' abdomen, causing him to fall off the platform. It took nearly five hours of surgery before he was pushed out of the operating room.

Since that incident, both Joe and Allen made sure to stay by Claudius' side all the time.

Meanwhile, Bruce and Truce did not dare to pull any tricks for the time being after the failed assassination attempt.

Claudius' condition was Spencer's only concern at that moment. The latter watched Joe and Allen leave with the hospital bed before withdrawing his gaze and turning to the two chief surgeons. "How is Mr. Lenoir's condition?"

"The wound isn't too serious, and although he had a great fall, the injury wasn't too bad. Mr. Lenoir will be awake once the anesthesia wears off. Don't worry, Mr. Lacroix."

Spencer breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the doctor's words.

Rose had paid Spencer a visit shortly before her death, asking the latter to take good care of Claudius.

Spencer was entrusted with a task.

The fact that Claudius got into an accident a few days after Rose's death filled Spencer with guilt. He didn't know how he would face her in death.

Thankfully, Claudius was only shot once and had no major issues.

Two hours had passed by the time Claudius woke up.

It was four o'clock in the morning and extremely quiet as there was no one else in the ward.

Claudius tried to move and felt a slight pain in his abdomen.

A frown instantly formed on his face. Hence, he stopped moving and simply stared at the ceiling.

The sun had already risen when Sophia woke up.

As her eyelids fluttered open, Sophie instructed Genie to open the windows. She then instinctively reached for her phone by her side and tapped on the screen to see if she had gotten a response from Claudius.

It should be three o'clock in the afternoon there.

Over twenty hours had passed since his last reply. Just as Sophia was thinking about that, her phone vibrated in her hand.
