Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1132: You Pursue Your Faith, I Will Protect You
Cain Shaw came out holding Dianna Hollis in his arms, and a doctor in a white coat rushed over. "Put Miss Hollis down, let me take a look."
Cain Shaw placed the delicate girl onto the white stretcher, and the doctor examined the wound. "The cut is a bit away from the heart, Miss Hollis can still be saved. Quick, to the hospital, Miss Hollis needs immediate surgery."
Cain Shaw held tightly onto Dianna’s cold little hand, her hand devoid of warmth. He rubbed it hard, trying to transfer his warmth to her. "Dianna, wake up... Dianna..."
As if hearing the man’s call, Dianna struggled to open her eyes and immediately met his bloodshot eyes. She slowly curved her lips, "It’s okay... I’m fine... I’m not stupid, when the knife came down... my hand shifted, it won’t take my life... Cain Shaw, I still don’t want to die... am I smart?"
She asked me if she’s smart?
Cain Shaw nodded, his eyes were filled with terrifying blood streaks, seemingly on the brink of tearing. Over the years, his hands have been stained with many people’s blood, but hers was so hot, he began to fear it.
Fear.
This word actually appeared in his life.
"In the future, don’t do this again. I can protect you..."
Dianna struggled to lift her small hand, touching his handsome face. She curled her red lips, as she smiled, a couple of tears fell from her eyes. "Cain Shaw, it’s okay, you pursue your beliefs, I’ll guard you."
You pursue your beliefs, I’ll guard you.
This sentence deeply struck Cain Shaw’s soul, feeling as if years of dark nights were suddenly illuminated by a lamp. For years, no matter the pouring rain worldwide or the treacherous paths ahead, he always remembered a girl saying the most touching words, showing her fierce and brave love for him.
"Cain Shaw, I still want to ask you, do you like me?"
Even though Dianna had already guessed his feelings for her, she still wanted to hear his confession, she wanted to hear him say he likes her.
Cain Shaw lowered his head, his dry lips landed on her forehead. He closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I can’t tell you now, you must go for surgery right away, but I promise, when you open your eyes, I’ll tell you the answer."
Really?
Dianna felt the pain was really intense now, her vision slowly fading to black. Before she fainted, she whispered, "You can’t lie to me, when I open my eyes again, you must be by my side, I want to see you first."
...
In the hospital.
Jodie Young nervously waited outside the operating room. An hour later, Dianna was pushed out, the doctor said, "The surgery was very successful, the patient will wake up in 24 hours, hospitalized for recovery, waiting for the wound to heal."
Jodie Young’s tightly wound nerves finally relaxed. If her daughter met with any mishap, she wouldn’t want to live anymore.
Dianna was pushed into the VIP ward, Jodie tenderly covered her daughter with a blanket, at that moment she saw Cain Shaw’s tall and upright figure by the door.
Cain Shaw had been guarding the hospital, not leaving a single step.
Jodie Young walked out and closed the ward door. "Cain Shaw, come over here, we need to talk."
Cain Shaw reluctantly looked at Dianna, then followed Jodie Young into the corridor.
In the corridor, Jodie Young raised her hand and fiercely slapped Cain Shaw across the face.
Slap.
Cain Shaw’s handsome face was slapped to the side, he could have avoided it, but he didn’t.
He accepted the slap.
Jodie Young was trembling with anger, she didn’t feel at all that she had implicated Cain Shaw and Dianna, she hated looking at Cain Shaw. "Cain Shaw, I said long ago, stay away from Dianna, you will bring danger to her. My good daughter is now lying on a hospital bed, how can I, as a mother, not feel pain?"
Cain Shaw looked up at Jodie Young. "Auntie, I am very sorry, but I promise, this is the last time."
Jodie Young did not believe Cain Shaw’s promise, "You leave my daughter, then I’ll believe you."
"Auntie, I won’t leave Dianna, I want to marry her." Cain Shaw said solemnly.
Jodie Young was shocked, "What did you say?"
"Auntie, you know my identity. Now that my mission is complete, I can return to normal life. Moreover, I’ve submitted the marriage application. You know Dianna’s feelings for me. As long as she’s willing to marry me, no one can stop us. Preventing or sabotaging a military marriage comes with penalties."
Jodie Young felt a cold pour over her head, she didn’t know Cain Shaw was reverting his status. He’s a military leader, a legend of the Blood Eagle, and many old men want to marry their daughters to him, his marriage application will be easily approved.
Not to mention, Dianna is a martyr’s orphan, the two of them marrying wouldn’t be stopped by anyone, including her mother.
Jodie Young’s heart was quickly in chaos, she suddenly didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, Cain Shaw suddenly creased his brows, his body in distress.
Jodie Young, "Cain Shaw, what’s wrong?"
Cain Shaw knew something was wrong, his drug addiction was acting up.
Earlier all his thoughts were on Dianna, he forgot about this situation.
He had taken something, but didn’t expect it to act up so quickly, it seems the gang leader was right, this drug is no ordinary toxin.
Cain Shaw felt his blood starting to boil and running rampant, out of control.
...
The doctor injected Cain Shaw with a sedative, then said gravely, "This is your blood test report, it shows a very high toxin component, this is no ordinary drug."
"Doctor, what do we do now?" Charles Bishop asked nervously.
"Detoxification, posthaste."
Charles Bishop was silent, there’s no shortcut, only detoxification, but the process is very painful, many have died because of it.
The doctor looked at Cain Shaw, "We’ve assembled an expert group to head to Saros’s Miao Territory, hoping to find herbs to help detoxify you. You must come with us immediately, your addiction has flared up, there’s no time to waste."
"Mort, let’s leave quickly!" Charles Bishop urged.
Mort Thorne pursed his lips, then said firmly, "Wait a bit longer."
Charles Bishop immediately understood, Mort Thorne wanted to stay and wait for Dianna to wake up. He promised Dianna, as soon as she opens her eyes, she would see him.
Mort Thorne stood up, wanting to see Dianna, but as soon as he stood, his vision went black, and the next second his tall and upright body collapsed with a "boom."
"Mort!"
