Cornell was then moved to the stretcher and wheeled to the operating room.
Audrey waited outside the door anxiously. She felt like her heart was rolling in a pan of boiling oil. It pained her to see Cornell Like this.
She couldn’t stop her tears from falling.
Cornell’s neck was soaked in blood, but she didn’t even notice it.
She didn’t know that he had been enduring the pain. He had lost so much blood because of her.
Suddenly, Audrey was filled with remorse. She felt so guilty that she couldn’t help blaming herself. If Cornell hadn’t saved her, he wouldn’t have suffered like this.
Why didn’t she find out sooner that he was hurt?
Now she realized why he looked a bit odd when he carried her in his arms. He didn’t say anything in the car. It turned out he had been suffering from the pain in the back of his head.
Yet, she was so immersed in her own emotions that she didn’t think about him at all. She didn’t even thank him for saving her.
Cornell took the blow that was meant for her. But it didn’t even cross her mind to ask him whether he was all right. She let him carry her all the way to the hospital without even knowing he was in pain.
Audrey patted her head hard. She was overwhelmed by guilt.
She blamed herself for being so selfish.
While waiting outside the operating room, Audrey felt like half a century had already passed. Finally, the door was pulled open from the inside.
As soon as she saw Luis come out, she rushed to him.
She asked anxiously, “Luis, how is Cornell?”
“Don’t worry. He’s all right now,” Luis replied with a smile.
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief. Then she asked again, “Why did he suddenly pass out?”
Cornell was a strong man. He wouldn’t faint so easily Like that.
Luis’ expression suddenly became serious.
“Was he hit by something?”
“Yes. A wooden stick as thick as an arm.”
Audrey explained to Luis what exactly had happened.
Luis frowned while listening to her.
“He suddenly passed out because of cerebral congestion. He is fine now, but his condition is still critical. If his wound went up a few more inches, I’m afraid he may never wake up.”
Audrey felt like something was pressing her chest hard. Her heart was very painful. She felt indescribably sad at the moment.
She couldn’t imagine what would happen if Cornell couldn’t wake up…
When Luis saw the sadness on her face, he comforted her, “Cornell is still lucky. He will be fine soon.”
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
“Wait! Did you just say it was a wooden stick? But I don’t think Cornell’s wound was caused by a wooden stick. It looks like he was hit by something harder, such as an iron rod.”
Audrey suddenly remembered something.
When Cornell kicked the servant, the wooden stick fell to the floor with a very crisp sound.
It was only now that she realized that it didn’t sound like a wooden stick at all. It was something metal.
At the thought of it, Audrey was now more certain that Tessa wanted to kill her and her baby.
She didn’t expect Tessa to be that cruel. Tessa even dared to kill an innocent unborn child.
Luis noticed that Audrey didn’t look well, so he said, “Audrey, you look pale. Are you alright? What about getting some rest first?”
“Thank you, Luis, but I’m okay. I want to stay with Cornell.”
After saying this, Audrey turned around and walked to Cornell’s ward.
Luis could only watch her back and shake his head.
He could now say that Audrey and Cornell were both bad liars. They clearly loved and cared for each other, but they didn’t want to admit it. They would rather hide their true feelings.
In the ward, Cornell lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
He was in a hospital gown. His right shoulder and the back of his head were wrapped in gauze.
Now that he was lying there unconscious, his innate domineering aura seemed to have disappeared. He looked gentler than before.
Audrey couldn’t help extending her hand and tracing Cornell’s handsome eyebrows, high nose bridge, and chin with her fingertips.
God really favored him. Every detail of his face was exquisite. He was a perfect creation.
When her hand accidentally touched his Adam’s apple, she was reminded of something between them.
Cornell’s Adam’s apple looked so sexy. It was like a towering peak of a mountain. She found it very attractive, especially when it bobbed up and down.
In the past, she always behaved herself when they were in bed. She didn’t dare to touch him like this.
But now, she suddenly felt that since they were getting divorced soon, it would be her loss if she didn’t take advantage of him.
At this moment, Audrey’s fingertips felt that Cornell’s Adam’s apple moved.
She wanted to withdraw her hand. But before she could do so, Cornell suddenly opened his eyes.
Their gazes locked.
Cornell’s deep-set eyes were like gemstones. When he Looked at people, it seemed he could see through them.
Audrey’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to look away, but she seemed to be hypnotized by his eyes.
When she came back to her senses, she withdrew her hand. But Cornell quickly caught it and held it tightly.
“What were you doing just now?” Cornell asked in a hoarse voice. It was as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.
Audrey was so nervous that she blurted out, “There was a bug on your neck.”
Cornell frowned slightly.
“A bug?”
“Yes. But I’ve already brushed it off,” Audrey said seriously. In her nervousness, she had already forgotten that Cornell was still holding her hand.
“Thank you, then.”
Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Cornell didn’t make things difficult for her. Then she saw that he raised his hand and was about to ring the bell. She quickly stopped him.
“What do you want? Let me get it for you.”
Cornell frowned.
“I don’t need anything. Just ask the nurses how they treat VIP patients in their hospital. Why are there bugs in the ward?”
Audrey’s face flushed. She had thought the matter about the bug was over. After all, it was an excuse she fabricated and not a big deal.
She paused for a moment before she said, “Maybe I saw it wrong.
Don’t make a fuss, okay?”
As she spoke, her voice was soft and pitiful.
Then she changed the topic.
“How do you feel now? Does it still hurt?”
“I feel very uncomfortable everywhere. Nothing is right with me,”
Cornell replied.
“Let me call the doctor for you.”
When Audrey was about to stand up, Cornell suddenly clenched her hand.
She was caught off guard and threw herself on him.
She felt that his body seemed to tremble when their bodies touched.
