President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 423

However, no matter how much she called out, the man lying on the ground still closed his eyes.

Overwhelming despair instantly hit her, like the whole world had turned black at that moment.

She screamed harshly, "Archie-"

Then all she felt was a rush of blood up to her throat and pain coming from her stomach. Then Darkness came over her eyes, and she passed out.

...

When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a hospital bed.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously felt for her side, but she felt nothing.

Her heart fluttered as she jumped out of bed and ran outside.

But she had only reached the door when she was stopped by a doctor, "Hey, what are you doing there?"

Natalia grabbed her in her arms and screamed out of breath, "Where's Archie? Where is he?"

The doctor sighed in relief, "You mean the injured man who was brought in with you?"

Natalia nodded repeatedly, looking desperate, "Where is he? Tell me!"

"Oh, he's still in surgery. Hey, you ..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the woman in front of her was already running out like a gust of wind.

At the door of the operating room on the third floor.

The light above the operating room was still on when Natalia arrived, signifying that the person inside had not yet come out and the operation was not yet over.

People from the Stevenson family were standing there, and behind them were a few serious-looking bodyguards.

In the chairs next to them sat Mrs. Stevenson and Ricky.

Natalia's face blanched slightly.

She stumbled over to them, and she didn’t dare to ask Mrs. Stevenson, but grabbed Ricky's arm and asked, "How is he? Is he all right?"

Ricky frowned at her panic-stricken look, and only after a long time did he said with difficulty, "The doctor says his condition is very dangerous, and the chances of saving him are less than ten percent."

Hearing what he said, Natalia felt her head explode, as if the sky had fallen.

She staggered back a step and was about to fall over when Ricky was quick enough to catch her.

"Natalia!"

Mrs. Stevenson was also startled by the sound and turned her head to look over.

Natalia shook her head and instantly burst into tears.

"It's all my fault. It's my fault. Why would I be gullible enough to trust someone? Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened, and Archie wouldn't have been caught off guard and hurt. I'm sorry."

Seeing how she was in pain, Ricky couldn't help but feel distressed.

He said in a deep voice, "Don't get excited yet. There's still a ten percent chance. Maybe the doctors can save him."

Mrs. Stevenson also reassured her, "Yes, don't get too excited, lest you fall down when Archie is saved."

Natalia was helped by them to sit down in a chair.

Ricky asked, "Natalia, you were there at the time, do you know who the killer is?"

Natalia's fingers tightened fiercely as she gripped the armrest.

Her eyes went cold, and after for a moment, she spoke quietly, "I know."

"Who?"

"Her name is Summer, and she's the best friend I ever thought I'd have in my life. I just didn't expect ... meh!"

She laughed at herself, not sure if she was laughing at her naivety and failure as a human being, or at the absurdity of the situation.

Ricky's eyes, however, widened abruptly.
