Chapter 516
I was walking in the dark by myself. In this darkness, there was nothing around me. I could not see, hear, or feel anything. But I was determined to continue walking, no matter what. I knew that if I found a place with light, I could return to where I really belonged. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
This was a strange dream. I knew I was dreaming, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not wake up. However, my chest no longer had a hole in it and I was no longer in pain. It appeared that dreaming had its advantages. At the very least, I was unable to sense pain.
But I had no idea how long I had been unconscious. Christopher would be worried if I stayed unconscious for too long.
After being in a life-or-death situation, we realized how fragile and valuable life was. Christopher had been concerned about me ever since we returned to Avenport from the seaside town. That time, I was hurt saving Lyle; Christopher was furious about it and even punished me.
Since then, he had become extremely concerned about me. Even if I just stubbed my toes, he would be worried for quite some time. If he knew I had been shot by accident, he would blame himself for the rest of his life for not being able to protect me.
I sighed, feeling puzzled as to why I could not find the right path and wondering what I could do to wake up.
“Please, Yvonne, wake up! I won’t marry you if you don’t wake up. No, I’m going to divorce you. I’ll go marry some other woman. I’ll piss you off!”
“Who’s talking?” I turned and looked but there was still nothing around me. It’s Christopher’s voice. He’s talking to me, but why can’t I wake up even though I can hear his voice?
“Yvonne, if you leave me, I’ll feel alone. You’ll also feel alone. It’s too lonely to walk by yourself in the dark. I’ll come and accompany you, okay? I’ll come to find you now.”
Find me? Is Christopher attempting to do something stupid? I was so worried that I was about to cry, but I couldn’t do so because I was in a dream. Suddenly, a loud gunshot could be heard. I was terrified and had no idea what to do.
“Christopher! Christopher! Where are you?” I shouted.
The emergency room was in chaos. The pendant lamp from the ceiling fell to the ground as Christopher shot at the ceiling. His action shocked everyone.
“Chris, stay calm and hand me the gun!” Darius yelled at Christopher as he approached him.
“Chris, do you realize what you’re doing? Put down the gun now!” Even the usually gentle Gordon was enraged by Christopher’s behavior and nervously reprimanded his son. “As a soldier, how dare you do such a thing!”
“I can’t stay calm. I just can’t. All of you get out of here! I want to be alone with Eve.” Christopher held his gun tightly.
Julia was also taken aback. Upon getting back to her senses, she approached Christopher and slapped him. “You want to end your own life, you fool? Do you think Yvonne will come back to life if you die?”
Julia was furious. She gave him another slap. “Your father, Darius, and I are standing in front of you. Do you want us to go down with you, seeing that you dare to pull out your gun in front of us?”
Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm suddenly went off again. The nurse lowered her head and noticed that the electrocardiogram was registering activity again. She then shouted, “Doctor, the patient’s heartbeat has been restored. Come and take a look!”
Everyone in the room came to a halt and turned to look at the electrocardiogram. They were overjoyed with tears when they saw signs of life. “She’s alive!”
“Doctor, hurry up and check on her!” Gordon yelled at the doctor as he was the first to react.
“Everyone, please leave the room right now! The patient must be treated right away.” The doctor rushed over.
Darius forcibly dragged Christopher out of the emergency room. He then said to him, “She will not leave you. She will stay alive. If you stay inside, you’ll disturb the doctor’s treatment.”
