His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 260 - Her End (Three)

Vincent can no longer wait for the paramedics to respond. He cautiously picks up Hailee's body, then carries her outside.

"Pitt, we can't wait for the ambulance!"

"I know! I will get the car!" Pitt didn't waste another second. He ran to the exit door, headed to the parking lot to get the SUV he drove coming here.

Everything happens so fast. Bryan helplessly watched Hailee taken by another man. He was supposed to be that man. However, he failed to keep his promise to protect her from everything, including himself with dark secrets.

In the end, she was in grave danger because of him. But this is not the time for his regrets and self-pity over his jealousy.

Bryan turned around to face Eva. He looked at her furiously, wishing his stares could kill her. "I will not forgive you for this, Eva!"

He screamed. "Bring that woman back to the apartment, and don't let her step out of the bedroom! Lock her up!" He called for his men and gave instructions.

"Bryan!" Eva followed him, but Tim blocked her way. Although she was already in a grim situation, she still has the attitude. "You! Move, Timothy Cheng!"

Tim raises a brow upward. In the beginning, he already didn't like Eva. But when Madam Hilda forced his boss to arrange marriage, he shut his mouth because he was in no position to speak on behalf of his boss.

"Move!?" Eva barked when he remained to block the door and stare at her with mocked in his eyes.

Tim curled his lips. "Stop being so proud, Miss Lan. You better behave and cooperate, or else you will see what kind of man President Shen was when someone provoked him."

"I don't need your advice!" Eva barked in.

"Oh, you should, Miss Lan. You hurt the woman boss loved his whole life. You better prepare for the consequences of what you've done."

"You are just his assistant! So shut up!"

"You are right, Miss Lan. I am just his assistant so that I will tell you now. I hate you so I won't be nice to you. I'll keep an eye on you and make sure you have nowhere to go but the lonely and cold prison," said Tim, even gesturing in the air when he said, 'I'll keep an eye on you,' which infuriates Eva. "Goodbye, shoppings. Goodbye night out party. Bye-bye to a trip around the world."

She cast a glare at Tim. This assistant is noisy! But she can do nothing anymore but struggle when Bryan's men drag her outside and shove her in the car's backseat. She pursed her lips, shooting a sharp look at them. They all throw dark glares in her direction.

"What is this woman thinking?" One bodyguard asked, glancing at the rearview mirror, shooting a threatening stare at Eva.

"Why do we have to lock her up if we can bury her alive?" Commented by a man in front of the steering wheel.

Panic creeps through Eva's nerves. Her body began shuddering, listening to Bryan's men having a casual conversation in front of her! Obviously, they didn't like her from the very beginning because their sympathy is for Hailee!

Now the truth is screaming out loud! Australia is the most dangerous place on Earth! Every person in this country is on that girl's side!

Tim, who was sitting beside her, snorts. She glares at him, but he only gives her a mocking smirk.

"I'll pretend I witnessed nothing." He even made a joke that freaked the hell out of Eva.

Meanwhile, Pitt drove faster than he could. But they traffic-jammed everywhere, preventing them from speeding.

"Damn it! Bryan, do something with it!" he phoned Bryan.

"I know! I'm calling everyone to make way for us!" Bryan responded from behind, tailing them. He overtakes to make a noise.

"Red Code. LA MERVEILLE. We are on South Avenue. Repeat, we are on South Avenue. Make way for La Merveille to the closest hospital!"

Just within half a minute that passed, someone responded and gave them coordination. After a long battle with the congested streets of Sydney, they reached the hospital. Hailee was immediately brought to the Operating Room to provide full attention to her.

Besides, they must keep it a secret before the media notices anything. Let the world know about the princess is the first thing they must prevent.

"Sir, you can't come in," said the nurse. She then shut the glass doors.

Vince attempted to talk to the nurse inside, but he only ignored them. Then a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"We're not the ones who can save her at this moment. We can't create any commotion as well by arguing with the medical staff." Pitt was calmly consoling Vincent. It was a surprise that he acted so calm when he freaks out when something happens to the princess most of the time.

Vince closed his eyes. He rested his head on the glass door like he could hear all the happenings inside, but it was too quiet.

Pitt scanned him. His clothes disheveled and soaked from Hailee's blood, now his white long sleeves turned red. His hands are stained with blood, but it's not all blood because of Hailee's wounds.

Vincent's fingers bleed after he uses them to sweep the shattered vases away, preventing Hailee's body from catching more of them.

"Vincent, you need to tend your wounds."

"I'm staying here," he responded stubbornly.

"We are all worried! I get you. I understand what you are feeling right now."

"You can only say that, Mr. Cha." Vincent gritted his teeth. At this moment, he wishes he could strangle Eva.

"Look, Vincent… I was there when the princess grew up. Everyone is overprotective of her, especially me. So, if you are too worried about her, what do you think I am feeling right now? I'm worried as well! I wished I could do something for the princess. If only I knew to attend to her, but nothing we can do now but trust the medical team. If you act stubbornly at me now, one thing I know for sure. The princess would freak out if she saw your wounds."

Vincent knew that everything Pitt had said was right. And he could not refute that. It won't help Hailee if he ignores the wounds on his fingers.

His fingers are the most precious part of his body. How can he continue designing for Hailee's dream city if he lets his wounds infected?

"Why do you need to challenge Liam for a fistfight?"

Hailee asked him after the Face-Off between him and Liam. They've just finished making love on the bed after their steamy shower. Now they are cuddling under the quilt.

"I don't want you to hurt these beautiful fingers of yours," Hailey added, tracing his knuckles, then palm with her soft fingers. "You have a big job to do for me, President Shen. So, you should not get them injured or wound them, and that's an order!"

Now, as he recalled, their conversation just a few days back broke him. Vincent let out low sobs as his tears found their way down to his cheeks.
