The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 520

Aaron mentally shook his head. When he was running over, his gut instinct had been completely right.

With his boss's elite combat training, he could take down multiple armed men without breaking a sweat. Even if he did slip down a flight of stairs, Jamie had the reflexes to protect his head and vitals. There was absolutely zero chance a fall like this would knock him out cold.

His boss was truly pulling out all the stops for this.

Meanwhile, Suzie saw Aaron shaking his head and immediately assumed the worst—that Jamie was beyond saving. Her entire body went numb.

Did she... did she just accidentally kill him?

No... Even though she still hated him, she didn't want him dead.

Seeing Suzie's face drain of all color, sweat beading on her forehead as she stared blankly at Jamie's face, Aaron felt a twinge of guilt. He quickly cleared his throat to reassure her.

"Ms. Sterling, please don't panic. It's going to take some time for the ambulance to get here. I'll start chest compressions. I need you to do mouth-to-mouth."

When Suzie remained frozen in shock, he raised his voice. "We have to hurry!"

"Oh... oh... right," Suzie stammered, snapping out of her daze.

After Aaron pumped Jamie's chest a few times, Suzie cupped Jamie's face with trembling hands and leaned down to blow air into his mouth. All that mattered in her head was saving a life.

But the man pretending to be dead on the floor had entirely different priorities. Her lips were soft, warm, and sweet. At this rate, he was praying the paramedics would take their time.

Every time Aaron stopped compressions so Suzie could administer rescue breaths, Aaron practically broke his neck staring at the ceiling, utterly floored by his boss's shamelessness.

They repeated the 'resuscitation' cycle several times, but Jamie 'remained unresponsive.'

Seeing the urgency on the medics' faces, and knowing she was the one who pushed him, Suzie didn't hesitate. She scrambled up the stairs alongside the stretcher.

At the top of the stairs, she gave Mia a few quick instructions before running toward the elevators with the medical team.

As for Aaron, when he had run up the stairs to meet the medics, he had discreetly snatched a spare sheet from their gurney. Now, he was walking alongside them, holding it up like a shield over Jamie's face.

If he didn't cover him up while they took the hotel elevator down, someone would definitely recognize him, and they'd be front-page news again by morning.

Once Jamie was safely loaded into the ambulance, Aaron immediately hopped into the front passenger seat.

Under Aaron's strict directions, the ambulance bypassed the nearest trauma center and headed straight for a private hospital owned by Baylor Group.

If they went anywhere else, Jamie's miraculous 'recovery' would be exposed instantly. And if Suzie found out she had been tricked, she'd likely never speak to his boss again.
