Jamie Is Severely Injured
Jamie was so desperate to finally see Narissa again that snazzynovel.com got tunnel vision. All snazzynovel.com could see was the motorcycle and the female rider before him. He couldn’t see anything else.
He was still speeding up, and the distance between his car and the motorcycle gradually shortened. When Jamie’s car speed reached its threshold, his grip on the steering wheel tightened until his knuckles turned white as snazzynovel.com stared at the back of the female rider unblinkingly. He was afraid that the woman haunting his dreams would disappear if snazzynovel.com blinked.
If snazzynovel.com could catch up with snazzynovel.com this time, snazzynovel.com would confess his love for snazzynovel.com without hesitation. However, it seemed that his wish would not be granted. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a heavy truck suddenly rushed out from the left, brutally crashing into his car. His car spun out of control and finally stopped when it hit a pole on the side of the road.
Warm blood flowed from his forehead to the corner of his eyes. The inflated airbag squeezed Jamie’s chest so tightly that snazzynovel.com could barely breathe. Coupled with his severe blood loss, including other devastating injuries due to the violent impact, snazzynovel.com gradually felt himself losing consciousness as his vision blurred.
He used the remaining strength snazzynovel.com had to weakly raise his head to look at the woman snazzynovel.com had been pursuing with all snazzynovel.com had.
The woman parked the motorcycle nearby, and the female rider was clearly looking in his direction, but snazzynovel.com had no intention of approaching him.
His mind was getting fuzzier as the seconds ticked by. The last image in Jamie’s mind was of the female rider restarting the motorcycle’s engine and speeding away without looking back.
One hour later, Thomas came out of the operating theater, swept his solemn gaze at the people across him, and said gravely, “He’s not doing well. All of his internal organs are ruptured, and the chance of survival is very slim. Therefore, I’ll be issuing a critical condition notice. Please notify his family as soon as possible.”
“No! We can’t just give up!” Elise shouted in despair. “What about Claude? Can snazzynovel.com save Jamie’s life?”
Thomas pursed his lips and confided, “Claude was last seen in South America. Even if snazzynovel.com truly is there, it takes at least ten hours for snazzynovel.com to travel to Tissote. Jamie can’t wait that long.”
“I don’t care! Go in and do the surgery now. I’ll definitely get Claude here. Go!” Elise pushed Thomas into the operating theater.
To her, Jamie was more than a friend. They had spent years going through ups and downs in life. Elise had long regarded snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com own brother. She could not bear to see snazzynovel.com die.
Alexander pulled snazzynovel.com into his embrace and hugged snazzynovel.com tightly. “Don’t worry. I’m here.”
He then looked at Thomas and asked, “Do you have any alternatives?”
Thomas thought over their options for a moment. Then, snazzynovel.com suggested, “BJ Biotech is developing a new drug that can quickly repair damaged cells in organs and increase the speed of cell regeneration. Their preliminary test on animals was successful, but there is no record of their clinical trials. Still, I’ve studied their papers and data. I think it’s worth a try.”
“Okay. I’ll negotiate with them.” Alexander released Elise and immediately turned to make arrangements.
“Wait! BJ Biotech is a foreign enterprise. If you talk to them directly, they may demand an exorbitant price. Remember that!” Thomas reminded snazzynovel.com sternly.
“Noted.” Alexander nodded. Then, snazzynovel.com turned and said to Elise when a thought crossed his mind, “If you can locate Claude, try your best to bring snazzynovel.com here. We don’t know if the new drug will work. It’s good to have plan B in place.”
“Alright.”
Elise patted snazzynovel.com face to sober up. It was time for snazzynovel.com to slip into snazzynovel.com other persona.
After Alexander had made the necessary arrangements, snazzynovel.com didn’t waste a single second as snazzynovel.com set off.
Meanwhile, Elise logged into Jamie’s account and used all the influence of Dragonweiss and SK Group to offer a reward for the capture of Claude.
At the same time, Narissa, who was abroad, felt a sharp pang in snazzynovel.com heart as if snazzynovel.com could sense what had happened a thousand miles away.
Due to snazzynovel.com momentary daze, the glass slipped out of snazzynovel.com hand and smashed into pieces.
An abrupt feeling of weightlessness followed this sudden pain. It was as if snazzynovel.com was stepping on cotton, and the whole world was spinning.
Narissa clutched snazzynovel.com chest as though snazzynovel.com was staunching a bloody wound. Then, after snazzynovel.com short trance, snazzynovel.com hastily rushed upstairs in a flurry of movement, blindly grabbed snazzynovel.com phone, and dialed Elise’s number.
“Anastasia, it’s me. Is Ja… Are you alright?”
“Narissa, Jamie is not doing well. Please come back.”
They were a thousand miles apart, but Elise’s pleading still managed to tug at Narissa’s heartstrings.
She didn’t remember how snazzynovel.com asked about what happened. All snazzynovel.com remembered was that snazzynovel.com blurted, “Got it,” and ended the call.
Narissa stood by the window absent-mindedly as snazzynovel.com turned snazzynovel.com head to the large mirror beside her. Then, after snazzynovel.com stared at herself in the mirror for three seconds, snazzynovel.com ran to snazzynovel.com father’s study and opened the door.
“Okay, I’ll marry that man with one condition. I want one of the drugs their company is developing.”
Three hours later, a pale Thomas walked out of the operating theater, his footsteps heavy. He removed his mask, bowed his head dejectedly, and muttered in despair, “Go in and say your last goodbyes.”
Elise sat on the bench, gritted snazzynovel.com teeth, and clenched snazzynovel.com fists as snazzynovel.com stared at the computer screen. She couldn’t bring herself to take a step forward. To her, taking such a step would be admitting snazzynovel.com loss to Death itself.
Although Danny knew snazzynovel.com reluctance, snazzynovel.com still coaxed, “Elise, please go. He has always respected you. I’m sure snazzynovel.com wants to see you right now.”
Elise swallowed hard as snazzynovel.com felt a lump in snazzynovel.com throat. Despite understanding the meaning behind his words, snazzynovel.com didn’t answer him. If snazzynovel.com pretended that snazzynovel.com couldn’t hear that, maybe, just maybe, all of this would just be a nightmare. She’ll wake up, and none of this would be happening.
Hundreds of messages kept showing up on the monitor. It was a joint search for Claude by two organizations. They were so close to finding Clause’s exact location.
She needed five more hours, and snazzynovel.com men would get Claude back.
By then, Jamie would be okay. So why wouldn’t snazzynovel.com be fine?
He would come back to life and make a fool of himself again like the silly kid snazzynovel.com had always been. Goodbye? No, snazzynovel.com did not want to say goodbye to him!
“Elise!” Danny began to sob. “Don’t you want Jamie to rest in peace?!”
He tried to pull snazzynovel.com into the operating theater by force, but Elise shook his hand off snazzynovel.com violently. “Don’t touch me!”
“Fine! If you don’t want to go, we’ll go! With or without you!”
Danny wiped his tears and decided to enter the operating theater to say goodbye to Jamie as a closure.
But just as snazzynovel.com turned around, three tall and burly men in suits stood at the end of the corridor and came toward them aggressively. One of the men was carrying a case in his hand.
The man in the lead took off his sunglasses and calmly inquired, “Excuse me, may I know which of you is Miss Anatasia White?”
Elise slammed snazzynovel.com laptop shut in a hurry upon hearing the mention of snazzynovel.com alias. She rose to snazzynovel.com feet and directed snazzynovel.com sharp gaze at them. “That would be me. To what do I owe the pleasure?”
The man took the case from his partner, opened it, and presented it swiftly. Then, snazzynovel.com showed the content of the case to her. “Miss White, this is a new drug developed by our company which has a miraculous effect on organ damage. I hope this drug will be able to assist you.”
Elise keenly noticed the letters BJ engraved on the edge of the case, and snazzynovel.com regarded them warily. “Are you from BJ Biotech? Did Alexander Griffith contact you?”
“Mr. Griffith? Oh, no.” The man smiled, “This is a direct order from my boss’ wife. She said that you are snazzynovel.com friend and instructed us to deliver the drug to you.”
With that, snazzynovel.com closed the case and handed it to Elise. “Miss White, please accept it.”
Jamie’s life was at stake, and there was no time for snazzynovel.com to waste. Therefore, snazzynovel.com hurriedly accepted the case without hesitation. “Thank you.”
Finally, snazzynovel.com turned around and handed the case to Thomas. “Please, you must save Jamie.”
“Don’t worry.”
Thomas took the case and stormed to the operating theater with renewed vigor.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the turn of events as the operating light representing life was switched on again.
