Chapter 1917 Stay Away From Him
Gabriella turned to the side and acted as though she hadn’t heard anything.
Looking at the cold-hearted way the woman behaved, Lonnie fumed.
“What’s wrong, Lonnie? Aren’t you supposed to listen to what Hubert says to you?” Gabriella looked at Lonnie arrogantly with a frosty glint glowing in her eyes.
Lonnie turned around right away and ignored the ruthless woman.
“Stand right there. Aren’t you afraid that those will be the last words of your boss?” Gabriella glared at Lonnie coldly.
Listening to that, Lonnie’s heart sank, and his face turned extremely grim.
What? Is this woman about to start another scheme?
Turning around, Lonnie walked slowly toward Gabriella. The look on his face was brutal and remorseless. A piercing cold glint emanated from his eyes; it looked like he was about to murder the woman. Gabriella shuddered a little, but she quickly straightened her back and raised her chin to show her supremacy.
“Ms. Ward, please get your facts right. We are the hooligans here, and you are the heiress of a well-off family.” Lonnie placed his hand on Gabriella’s face and put on a playful grin.
What is he trying to do?
Gabriella glared at him fiercely, but in her eyes, there was a glint of fear.
Damn it! He’s only working under Hubert. How dare he treat me in such a way!
“If you don’t listen to your boss’ orders, it means you’re going against him. Perhaps you’re trying to replace his position, but do you think the other men would agree to that?” Gabriella feigned composure as she said that.
“Such a clever woman!” Lonnie lifted her face, and both their faces were so close that the space between them was almost non-existent.
“Let go of me!” Gabriella struggled.
Lonnie sneered. So even this woman can be afraid, too!
“Ms. Ward, please stay away from Mr. Newman in the future. He’s not feeling so well. He shouldn’t be seeing some filthy and cruel being when he’s sick. If you don’t leave on your own accord, I don’t mind helping him get rid of stumbling blocks!” With a sudden jerk, Gabriella was sent over to a corner by Lonnie.
Looking at the figure of the man leaving, Gabriella touched the corner of her mouth with a trace of fear on her face, where, in fact, ferocity and savagery were much more evident.
After hesitating for a while, she made a call.
“Standby and listen to my instructions!” She ended the call right after.
Perhaps, there’s no longer any reason to waste more energy and time!
Gabriella squeezed her fists tightly at that thought.
The next morning, the sun rose as usual. Everything seemed normal; there wasn’t anything that looked different or out of place.
It was all good until the tranquility was broken by a phone that started ringing out of the blue.
“Lonnie, quick! Come to the hospital now. Mr. Newman is dying!”
Upon hearing that, Lonnie got up in an instant and rushed to the hospital at once.
“What happened!” he yelled at the nurse the moment he reached the ward.
The nurse lowered her head with her eyebrows furrowed.
“I… I don’t know. I… I was on duty for the entire night, and he was alright last night, but this morning…” The nurse looked hesitant and frightened.
“Has anyone come to the ward?” Lonnie asked furiously.
“N—No.”
Looking around, Lonnie suddenly noticed that the large window in the ward was open. He remembered that he had closed the window when he left yesterday as he had been worried that Mr. Newman would catch a cold.
Damn it!
Lonnie clenched his fist and landed it against the wall forcefully.
“Arrange a surgery for him immediately!” Abruptly, Larry appeared at the hospital.
Looking at Larry, who had suddenly shown up, Lonnie was pleasantly surprised.
“Mr. Norton, I’m sorry to trouble you.” Lonnie rushed over to Larry hurriedly.
Larry waved his hand. “Saving his life is of utmost importance now. Let’s not talk about other things first.”
“Doctor, how’s Mr. Newman doing?” Lonnie quickly asked.
“Fortunately, he was rushed to operation timely. Otherwise, he would have died.” The doctor let out a sigh.
Lonnie’s eyes dimmed in a second.
“Are you alright?” Larry asked him in a low voice.
Lonnie shook his head and didn’t say anything. He might have been greatly affected by Hubert’s condition, so much so that he was in a daze for a very long time.
