Chapter 41: Protect
Day by day, soon the weekend has come. According to Mr. Mike’s request, early this afternoon, Emily had to go to the location where the exchange program will take place to practice first. Regarding the script, she received the mail a few days ago.
Fortunately for her, Kevin said he would only work in the morning because there was another job, if she did not want to sit at the company in the afternoon, she could go home early.
“Thank you.”
Kevin’s warm voice made Emily’s hands stop on the computer keyboard.
She slowly raised her head to look at him. She did not know if he told her or not because from the morning until now, she had done nothing to make him say that.
“I don’t smoke anymore.”
“Oh yes. Too good.”
She smiled, nodded, and understood that he thanked her for the small candy bag the day before.
They had loved each other for many years, so he realized that although she laughed, her eyes still contained an immense sadness, no way to cover. And she also realized the pain in his eyes.
Both of them have chosen their paths and cannot stop, otherwise, they will hurt a lot of people.
When lunchtime came, Kevin left the office. Emily also hurriedly arranged the documents and left. She did not want to bother Daniel to shuttle her because she knew he was still working.
Loving a busy businessman like him, she shouldn’t be too whiny and dependent, just be independent and do what she can, when she can’t handle it, she will call him.
After stopping at a small restaurant for lunch, she went home, took a shower, and changed into a simple outfit, black jeans and a white T-shirt.
Since becoming an office worker, she only wears dresses and rarely wears dynamic outfits like this.
“Hello, teacher Mike.” Emily spoke emotionally when she saw her old teacher.
“Hello, millionaire bride.” Mike replied humorously and hugged his little student.
Next, he led her to the group of lecturers standing inside so she could say hello and review some old stories with them.
After all, she had only been out of school for a few months, so everyone remembered her very well, and when the press reported on a luxurious engagement with thousands of imported roses, no one could forget her.
“Let us begin.” Mike suggested.
“Yes.”
Emily nodded, then quickly took the microphone and walked onto the stage.
The lecturers and some students who will receive grants from Fashion Future also quickly sat in the audience seats, excitedly looking at the beautiful girl.
No one noticed in the distance, a man was smiling devilishly. Since yesterday, the technical team has been tasked with checking the equipment in this hall, and of course, this is an opportunity for Reid to make a deal with Jennifer.
While Emily was rehearsing, in the hall next door, Leo and Kevin had just arrived and were reviewing and checking the preparations.
According to the schedule, after the exchange session ends, there will be a light party taking place upstairs.
“Fortunately, I told the business association to book it in advance. Tomorrow this area will be full. I don’t know what day tomorrow is, but everyone is holding conferences and exchanges tomorrow.” Leo laughed.
“Because you guys like to book this place. Why don’t you go to the hotels and restaurants of the Unicons group and make a reservation?” Kevin replied.
“In meetings like this, there are bound to be some big guys from the central government attending, and as you know, this place belongs to the son of a big boss in our country. He asked me to come here to support him, so how could I refuse? The other guys are the same, competing for reservations.”
Kevin smiled lightly and continued to move forward, looked at the stage for a while, then asked the staff to move the podium a bit, away from the ceiling fan and chandelier hanging above.
He knew it was difficult to fall but it was better to be careful. The guests are all famous people both domestically and internationally. If something unfortunate happens, it will be very bad.
“The guy Daniel refused to join this side, I wonder if he wants to sneak over there? Tomorrow there will be an exchange for fashion students organized by Fashion Future School. I heard he wants to get into the fashion industry.” Leo pointed to the right and said.
“I do not know either. He didn’t say anything.”
Kevin shook his head and invited Leo to go there with him to see what was going on. He didn’t expect that the exchange that Emily mentioned would also be held here.
Is it coincidence or destiny? He kept feeling like the love between him and her was difficult to break.
“Oh, who is that? Your future sister-in-law, right?” Leo was surprised, pointed to the stage, and asked.
“That’s right, she is the MC for this exchange. I also didn’t know they held the program here.”
“Then maybe I guessed right. Your younger brother must be stalking his wife.”
“He’s in a meeting at the company now. He doesn’t have time to cling to his wife.” Kevin spoke up because he saw the city chairman keep rolling his eyes around to find Daniel.
Leo laughed and went with Kevin to the upper rows. He had to admit that Daniel had good eyes and chose a wife as beautiful as a beauty queen.
Previously, no one in the business community had speculated about his girlfriend, but suddenly there was such a grand engagement ceremony.
“Kevin.” Emily whispered when she saw her future brother-in-law walking towards her.
At the same time, several large fan blades hanging on the wall suddenly started to operate very strongly, causing the hair of several female lecturers and students to become tangled.
Today, the air conditioning system is being checked and cleaned by the technician, so they turned on the fan to cool the guests down.
“Oh my god, the fan is so strong, Mr. Mike, please tell them to turn it on a low number.” A female lecturer spoke up.
No one noticed that the neoclassical swing-wing ceiling fan in the stage area was having problems. It is gradually loosening and is in danger of falling right where Emily is standing.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Oh, Miss Emily, be careful.” A female student suddenly looked up and exclaimed.
Looking in the direction of the student’s hand, Kevin quickly realized the problem and immediately rushed to the stage.
And Emily was so surprised that she reacted slowly. When she looked up, the ceiling fan with an old Western-style chandelier design was falling.
Because she was so panicked, she tripped and fell as soon as she tried to run away. At the moment when she thought she would be injured, Kevin quickly rushed to her side and covered her with his body.
Screams rang out as the ceiling fan hit the man’s body.
When Emily opened her eyes, she saw Kevin’s gentle face. However, not long after that, she saw a red line of blood running from his head to his forehead. His eyes slowly closed and his whole body collapsed on her.
“Kevin, Kevin…” Emily panicked and burst into tears.
“Kevin, Kevin, oh my god, quickly call an ambulance.” Leo shouted as he ran to the accident scene.
Mike also rushed after the city chairman after telling a TA Business Fashion School lecturer to call an ambulance.
The two men gently lifted Kevin so Emily could move away because he was lying on top of her.
“It’ll be okay, it’ll be okay.” Mike spoke up to reassure Emily and also to reassure himself.
About ten minutes later, the white stretcher was carried in by medical staff. Everyone moved aside to make way.
Mike and Leo assisted the medical team in taking Kevin to the ambulance.
Emily cried as she ran after them and the doctor told her to sit in the ambulance with them while Leo drove after them.
Mike also jumped in the car and went with Leo even though the two had never known each other before.
The lecturers and students also quickly left the hall.
Sirens blared all along the road and just five minutes later, the ambulance turned into the hospital gate, straight to the emergency room door. Everyone quickly brought Kevin inside.
“Kevin, come on, you’ll be okay, you’ll be okay.”
Emily cried as she ran after the white stretcher while encouraging him. She hopes he hears her and tries.
The moment he risked his life to save her again, she could confirm that his love for her was still as intact as before.
“Please wait outside.” The nurse stopped Emily and quickly closed the operating room door.
She sat down, her strength completely gone. She didn’t understand why he appeared there at that time.
She didn’t expect him to save her and get hurt like that. She felt she owed him much. The increasing love debts made her heart heavy.
That man this morning was still healthy and in great shape on the hot seat, but now he is in the emergency room.
“Miss Emily, is Kevin in there?” Leo rushed forward and asked.
“Yes.” She replied and bowed her head to greet the city president.
“Come on, stand up, go to the bench and sit.”
Leo reached out to help her up and helped her sit on the bench. Next, he took out his phone and called Daniel, informing him of Kevin’s current condition.
Just now, on the way here, he called the hospital director and asked him to arrange the best doctors for Kevin’s surgery.
That chandelier was not light at all, and fell from that height, so the force it exerted on him was extremely strong. Before the ambulance arrived, he was bleeding profusely on the stage.
Outside the parking lot, Mike was still struggling to control the city chairman’s car.
Just now, the two of them had just driven here when they were blocked by a car running the wrong way, followed by several more cars coming, forming a block, making it impossible for Leo to back up and unable to move forward.
So he gave the car to someone he didn’t know, asked Mike to help him drive, and then ran away.
