Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 341

They lied; they all lied to me!

They told me plastic surgery would help and they said my face would be back to normal after going through surgery! However, it’s all lies and now they’re going to trick me into leaving the country! Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and Gideon… They’re all going to give up on me so they’ve all been keeping this a secret from me!

At this moment, Gemma’s heart ached painfully and she hated the situation she was in. At the same time, she felt despondent and fearful of the scar on her face. I don’t want to be like this forever and I want to regain my beauty. I just want my pretty face back!

She ran out from the hospital room and headed straight to Tony’s room. I need to see him right away and I want to tell him that my disfigurement is because of him! If he hadn’t provoked and angered me or made that sudden sharp turn, I wouldn’t have crashed into the truck that was parked in front. If all that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have ended up looking like such a monstrosity right now!

He has to bear responsibility for this! He must bear the responsibility! And so, Gemma barged into Tony’s room but at this point, he had already left the place. As she failed to get hold of him, she turned around and rushed toward the nearby elevator.

The two bodyguards were not quick enough to stop her and they watched on helplessly as she exited the elevator and walked out of the hospital.

“Sh*t!” One of the bodyguards hit the wall in frustration after realizing that he had failed in stopping her. Meanwhile, the other bodyguard chased her up to the elevator entrance. After reporting the situation to Gideon, both of them hurriedly got into the other elevator that had just arrived and frantically made their way downstairs.

…

Most of Tony’s work was put on hold after his accident so as soon as he arrived back at the office, he went straight back into handling everything. As for Myra, she felt quite sleepy so she went into the lounge to take a nap. After waking up from her nap, she came out of the lounge and saw Leo reporting something to Tony with a frown on his face.

“—the Walton Family is quite careful in this aspect, so we haven’t been successful in tracing the company details of each investor.”

As soon as Tony noticed Myra rubbing her eyes while walking into the room, he gestured to Leo with an impassive face and said, “Noted; I’ll make arrangements for the upcoming plans. Just make sure to let Shawn know not to act rashly for now.”

“Sure, Director Hart.” Leo nodded in response and then greeted Myra quickly as he walked out of the door. Before he left, he was considerate enough to shut the door behind him.

“What were you talking about before this? You two looked quite somber and there was a frown on both of your faces.” Myra walked toward Tony and removed the document in his hand before glaring at him. “You haven’t recovered completely, so stop putting further strain on your hand. Just let me or Leo know if you need anything.”

Tony kept silent and he just stared at her fixedly with a dark and brooding gaze. Myra knew that he must be considering something important so she left him alone and she decided to go and pour him a glass of water. However, just as she turned around, he grabbed hold of her hand.

Myra didn’t dare to exert any force, so she turned around once more to look at him. “What’s wrong?”

Tony smiled at her as he let go of her hand. He then tilted his body to the left, signaling to her that he wanted to get something from the bottom-most drawer. Myra immediately took the hint and opened the drawer for him. “What are you after? I’ll get it for you.”

Tony nodded and hummed in response. “It’s the one on top; just take that out from the drawer.”

Myra did as instructed and removed the topmost document in the drawer before handing it to him. The document was kept stored in a brown document bag. She was just about to hand it to him but he didn’t take it from her. “Why don’t you open it up and take a look?” he said to her tenderly.

Feeling perplexed, Myra shot him a look and opened the brown document bag, only to find a small stack of A4 papers filled with words. As soon as Myra saw the title, she immediately knew what this was about.
