Jack is one of the best players Maria hires to serve her. So it is only natural for the two bodyguards to be defeated by him.
Before David could regain his balance, Jack unleashed another attack that left David on the ground. The attack was so strong that it made it hard for him to breathe.
Jack walked towards him and tried to do another punch but David tried to fight back. Jack got hit on the chin by him. Jack hugged his aching chin.
Jack glared at David. "Do you want to save your wife?" The man shouted. And then he took out a gun.
"I'll show you how she died." Jack pointed the gun at Ella.
David and Ella both widened their eyes. David was only two meters from Ella. The two bodyguards stood up, wanting to support their boss, but Jack had a gun, so they didn't dare to move.
Jack opened fire to shoot Ella. She closed her eyes. 'Am I going to die?' She thought.
But to her surprise, the bullet didn't hit her body but someone. David took the bullet for her.
Ella opened her eyes and she saw that David had fainted.
"David." She called his name.
She walked over and lifted his head. She put his head on her lap. She hugged him from behind.
Her face changed color as she saw blood seeping out of David.
He was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, so she could see blood stains on his shirt.
Her heart beat faster and her body trembled.
One of the bodyguards called an ambulance. But they dared not approach Jack.
"David." She cried again. David's eyes were closed.
"David." She patted his face lightly. "David, you wake up." But David did not respond.
"No. David. Do your best." Ella didn't know what to do. She wants to help and save David but she can't even save herself.
David didn't notice that she was crying so much.
David's eyes were closed but his mind was clear. He could hear her calling his name. He was forced to open his eyes.
"Ella." He called to her in a weak voice.
Ella looked into David's eyes.
"You're crying..." She heard him say. Although his voice was weak, she could still hear it.
"Stop talking." She shook her head.
David smiled. "I... love... you... so much..." He did his best to say.
Ella's tears didn't stop falling. "I know, I love you too."
"It's so romantic." Jack suddenly spoke and slowly approached Ella.
Two bodyguards approached Jack from behind. But Jack heard their footsteps so he turned his head, and pointed his gun at them to threaten. They raised their hands above their heads.
Ella looked up and glared at Jack. "Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"
Somewhere, Maria looks through the telescope and sees David being shot by Jack, she is quite shocked and texts Jack. 'Stop. We will act later.'
Jack pointed the gun at Ella when his phone rang, announcing a new message. He opened it to read the message and ran away.
Ella was bewildered, not understanding what was happening. At this time, the ambulance arrived. She and two bodyguards put David in the car.
At the hospital, a fight for life with the god of death is going on.
Ella waited outside the operating room. She clasped her hands together, trying to hold back her tears, telling herself in her heart that David would be fine. She didn't want to leave the operating room even for a single step.
"David..." Ella looked toward the door, her eyes red from crying. She blamed herself. 'It's my fault... if he didn't take the pill for me... I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if... if...'
For four hours, when the lights of the operating room finally went out, Ella began to get nervous.
She took a deep breath and calmed down. She thinks that whatever the outcome is, she has to face it.
At the same time, she is also thinking about whether she should tell David's grandfather and parents who are in the country now. Before the results of the surgery, she thought not to say, as it would make them panic.
It is better to wait for the results of the surgery before making a plan. There was a strong expectation in her heart that David would live. Yes, he won't die.
The door opened. As soon as she saw the doctor come out of the room, Ella quickly asked. "Doctor, how is he?"
The doctor took off his mask. "The patient is safe. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit the heart so it was not life-threatening. The patient lost a lot of blood but we have already given him a blood transfusion. Just wait a few more hours and it will be fine. And we'll move him to the recovery room."
Ella breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, she just relaxed.
A few nurses pushed the bed out. In bed, David is in a coma, he's on a ventilator, and there's still blood on his white shirt.
Ella's tears did not stop flowing, seeing David in such a state, all her calm and rationality disappeared, leaving only suffering.
After David was brought into the recovery room, she sat next to him. Right now David needs to rest, and at the same time, he needs her by his side.
Since Ella had known this man, she had never seen his weak side. Ella did not stop wiping her tears, biting her lips, and crying silently.
She gently took his hand, as if she were imparting warmth and confidence to him. Just now, seeing him face to face with Jack, she was scared. But, most importantly, he's still alive.
Nothing is more important than this news, as long as he is alive, she will not leave him, she will be by his side to take care of him.
Ella didn't know how many times she cried. Every time she sheds a tear, she immediately wipes it away.
Her hand was still in his palm, without any pressure, her gentle eyes showing pain.
Perhaps because she was too tired, she fell asleep.
David slowly opened his eyes. He stared at the white ceiling trying to figure out where he was.
He slowly tilted his head. He sees Ella sleeping, she rests her head on his hand.
"Ella..." David said in a weak voice.
Ella heard a small sound, she opened her eyes and saw David smiling at her.
"David, are you awake?" Ella rejoiced, sitting up straight. "Let me go call the doctor." Ella was about to leave, but her hand was held by David.
Ella just got up and sat down, she asked. "How is that?"
