The Devil CEO's Contract Wife novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Adrian King [2]

"Where is he? Where is my son?!" Agatha rushed in, eyes erratic as she searched for him.

The instant she set her eyes on us, she turned feral.

"What did you do to him?!" She screamed at us and came forward.

Ares was quick on his feet, but I was faster.

Slap!

Her head turned the other way, and when she looked back towards me.

Slap!

Agatha stumbled back, holding her red cheek, gaping at me with wide eyes and then at Ares, who didn’t make any attempt to stop my actions.

"You—"

"Don’t come here and start throwing accusations when your son is in there fighting for his life!" I snapped, seething.

She looked towards the door and then at me, tears streaming down her face. She hugged herself, crying like a child.

At the sound of footsteps, we turned to Constance, who came into view.

The doors from the surgery room burst open that instant, and the doctor was out, pulling down his surgical mask.

"Dr. Greg..." Ares spoke up.

"How is he?" I demanded.

"We’ve stabilized him for now, but he’s lost a significant amount of blood. We’re doing everything we can, but he’s bleeding out too fast. We need a donor immediately."

"D-Donor?"

"His blood type is rare."

"I’m his mother!" Agatha came forward. "I can donate as much as I can."

"You’re AB negative?"

Agatha’s mouth hung. "N-No, I’m—"

"I’m AB negative."

It was Athena who spoke up, walking close to us.

"I came as soon as I could. Is Adrian okay?"

"Please follow me, we have to act fast."

Athena nodded, following the doctor back in.

The accident was all over the news, images of the scene flashing everywhere. It was a bit large-scale because of the multiple hits; there were many injured, but none confirmed dead yet.

I felt the band-aid on my forehead before moving my gaze to Ares.

He was calmly seated beside me, arms resting on his thighs, but only I knew he wasn’t a bit calm; the pressure seizing his entire body caused the material of his shirt to tighten against his muscles.

It wasn’t just the pressure of awaiting news from Adrian’s surgery, but that we were in one place with the most unlikely people.

It had been a distant battle, and now that we were all here, the line was drawn thin. We were here for one thing. Adrian. And the instant that was over, I had a feeling this Chapter was about to close.

I had one goal now... to protect Adrian from the likes of Constance, who thought she could use him and Agatha too.

I kept my gaze entirely fixated on Agatha; she must have crawled out from whatever hole after she heard of Adrian’s accident. The only thing that could pull her out of the distress in the underworld.
