The group of men was equally shocked to see Noah collapse to the ground. When they saw the approaching car, they were aware that Finnick had arrived.
As if they were acting upon someone’s instructions, the men retreated quickly. By the time Finnick got out of his car, it looked as if they were never there.
The only evidence left was Noah lying on the ground.
“Finnick, quick, we need to get him to the hospital.”
Vivian had no time to explain as the bullet had hit Noah in his chest.
Blood was oozing out non-stop and he needed to be treated at the hospital at once.
Or else, his life would be in danger soon.
On the way to the hospital, everyone looked worriedly at the trembling Noah, hoping that he would be fine.
“M-Mr. Norton.” Noah’s mind was put at ease at the sight of Finnick. He knew only Finnick could protect Vivian.
“I’m here, so stop talking. We will be at the hospital soon.” Finnick intensified his frown when he saw Noah’s injury.
Finnick knew how much Noah had suffered over the years working for him. And now, he was shot on his account.
Despite feeling guilty, he didn’t forget to check Vivian’s body to see if she was harmed.
Luckily she wasn’t, or else he would feel much worse.
It was all because he hadn’t sent enough bodyguards to protect her. Or else, her life wouldn’t have been in danger.
Reaching out to grab her hand, he apologized with all the strength he could muster, “I’m sorry.”
Vivian looked at Finnick’s pale expression. She knew what Finnick was thinking and how he already had his hands full in the office.
While the problems at the company had yet to be addressed, she felt bad for increasing the burden he had. Moreover, she even got his right-hand man injured. Consequently, she felt that she was the one who should be apologizing.
“Finnick, Noah was injured while trying to protect me.” Vivian felt guilty and would prefer herself to be the one that was shot instead.
If Noah were to lose his life because of her, she wouldn’t even know how to face her own guilt.
However, she knew it was too early to speculate on his condition as they had yet to reach the hospital.
“Don’t worry, it will be fine.” Finnick stroke Vivian’s back hoping to calm her down.
Finnick knew that Noah had done a lot for them. Ever since the betrayal, he had worked doubly hard to protect them.
Everything he did was in their best interests. Hence, all they could do now was hope that he could recover quickly.
In the midst of their worries, they finally arrived at the hospital.
The medical staff brought them a stretcher quickly and loaded Noah on top. Only then did Vivian feel a sense of relief.
Now that they were in the hospital, they could quickly know what his actual condition was.
Furthermore, she believed that the doctor would do his best to save Noah.
“Mrs. Norton, Mrs. Norton, what happened to Noah?”
Just when she was deep in thought, Vivian saw a lady in a nurse’s uniform running toward her. With tears rolling down her eyes, she grabbed Vivian’s hand.
Vivian could recognize her as the nurse who called out to Noah when they left the hospital earlier.
“He was shot while trying to protect me,” Vivian replied guiltily as she looked at Ivana.
“Shot? Where?”
Ivana was doing her rounds in the hospital when she saw a familiar scar on a patient’s hand.
She remembered the scar as she had seen it on Noah’s hand before.
Hence, she rushed over anxiously at once.
“His heart.”
Ivana’s sobs suddenly stopped upon hearing Vivian’s reply. It wasn’t because she didn’t want to cry but her heart didn’t allow her to.
If his heart was injured, that means his chances of survival are…
As a nurse, Ivana knew the consequences well. In the face of the situation, she didn’t know what else to do other than patiently waiting for Noah to come out of surgery.”
“Finnick, when Noah recovers, let’s not let him be our bodyguard anymore, alright?” When Vivian saw how worried Ivana was, she felt that her feelings for Noah must be real.
