Chapter 19 She Is His Fiancée
Marcus's eyes lit up!
'Catherine's got skills in medicine, and she's pretty damn good at it.'
'Now, all my prescriptions are written by Catherine, and she checks every dose before I take it.'
'With Catherine around, what could possibly happen to Felix?'
The door to the ward swung open, and a bunch of masked medical staff stood at the entrance.
"Marcus, Felix has passed out. We gotta take him to the OR right now."
These folks were clearly prepped, hiding their faces under those masks.
Marcus snorted, "I wanna see who dares to take Felix away while I'm here!"
The medical staff stayed stone-faced, one of them saying in a deep voice, "Felix's health is top priority. If something happens to him in your ward, even you won't be able to explain it to the Howard family. Hand him over to us."
Marcus snapped,
"Bullshit! I've never heard of anyone daring to mess with me! Those who threatened me are all dead on the battlefield. You dare?"
The medical staff exchanged glances, silently communicating.
Their leader stepped forward, ready to forcibly take Felix away from Marcus!
"Marcus, forgive us, but Felix's health is critical. We gotta take him away!"
Catherine rushed to treat Felix.
Before the medical staff could get close, Felix opened his eyes.
He lifted his foot and kicked the lead doctor hard in the chest. "Get outta my way!"
The medical staff didn't expect Felix to suddenly resist, holding a sharp knife that gleamed coldly!
Marcus sneered, "So your target is Felix."
The guards, who had been lying in wait, popped out from under the bed and nabbed the bewildered medical staff.
Catherine's eye twitched.
When she was checking for bombs earlier, she had seen those special forces hiding under the bed.
She didn't expect they were lying in ambush, waiting to capture people at the critical moment.
Felix had just woken up, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted again.
Catherine said, "Marcus, Felix needs surgery to remove the blood clots. Get the OR ready."
Marcus nodded, fully trusting her call.
"Go ahead, leave the rest to me."
'Whoever's left in the hospital, I'll deal with them!'
Three hours later, Catherine pulled off her mask and came out of the OR, having done a heart surgery all by herself.
Felix was still out cold but out of danger.
"Marcus, I'm heading back now. If Felix's condition gets worse, call me ASAP, and I'll come right away."
Marcus looked at Catherine's sweat-soaked clothes, feeling heartbroken.
'Felix is one lucky dude! If it weren't for Catherine, he'd be a goner by now.'
"Alright, you go ahead. I'll handle everything here at the hospital, including those medical staff!"
Catherine thought, 'If I'm right, the pineapple bomb in Marcus's ward is probably also the work of those bribed medical staff.'
'Poisoning Felix and planting a bomb in Marcus's ward, it's killing two birds with one stone.'
Marcus noticed Catherine's concern, patting her shoulder, "Don't worry, there's surveillance in my ward."
Catherine nodded, said goodbye to Marcus, and left the hospital.
At the hospital entrance, Esme adjusted her clothes for a long time and walked in with a thermos.
'I gotta make a good impression on Felix, show him how perfect I am for the Howard family!'
'I'm the best daughter of the Windsor family!'
Esme pushed open the ward door and saw Felix lying in bed, hooked up to a bunch of tubes, looking like he was in a deep sleep.
"Mr. Howard? I'm Esme, the daughter of the Windsor family. I've come to see you!"
Felix slowly opened his eyes and said,
"Esme?"
'How do I remember that the daughter of the Windsor family by my side earlier isn't this one?'
Esme nodded excitedly, placing the prepared chicken soup beside Felix.
"I made this chicken soup just for you. It's super good for your health!"
As she spoke, she glanced towards the door.
A clear, commanding voice came from the doorway, dripping with authority and presence!
"Who are you?"
Alexander strolled into the ward, trailed by a long line of bodyguards.
He had cleaned out the entire hospital staff!
If Marcus hadn't left some openings for those people to sneak in last time, it would've been tough to catch them. With Alexander's no-nonsense methods, it would now be nearly impossible for the Abyssal Blades to mess with Bright Heal Hospital again!
Esme looked at Alexander in front of her. The man in the black suit had a sharp and handsome profile, oozing noble vibes with every move. His tie was crisp, and his gold-rimmed glasses reflected a cold light, giving off a kingly aura!
"Mr. Howard, I'm Esme from the Windsor family. I brought soup for Felix. I made it myself."
Alexander's expression was icy, his gaze landing on the chicken soup Esme was holding.
He frowned and said coldly, "Take your soup and get out."
Esme bit her lip.
'How could he be so harsh to me?'
'He must not know that I am his fiancée! Once he knows, he definitely wouldn't kick me out!'
After speaking, Alexander turned to Felix without sparing another glance at Esme.
"Felix, you alright? I heard someone messed with your meds. Sorry I got here late."
Felix waved his hand, coughing a few times, and weakly said, "It's alright. You can't be everywhere at once. I know what's up. When I had my attack earlier, I remember it was Marcus's granddaughter who saved me."
Felix, having just woken up, was a bit dazed and fell asleep again while talking to Alexander.
Alexander carefully covered him with a blanket, his gaze gentle. His sculpted features were rugged, but his eyes held an unfathomable depth.
Looking at his profile, Esme felt her heart start to race!
'Alexander is incredibly handsome, both in demeanor and looks, perfectly matching me! Plus, he's the top billionaire on the list of outstanding entrepreneurs!'
'If I could marry him, I can't even imagine how awesome my life would be!'
Alexander looked up at Esme, frowning, "Why are you still here? Get out."
Esme, blushing, softly said, "Alexander, we are still engaged, remember? I am Marcus's granddaughter. Ms. Lila Windsor has only one granddaughter, and I am your fiancée!"
'Only one?'
'Earlier, Felix said it was Marcus's granddaughter who saved him.'
Alexander's gaze was cold and indifferent as he said,
"Are you saying you saved Felix?"
Esme quickly nodded!
'Felix must have been mistaken. There are only a few granddaughters in the Windsor family, and Juniper is still in Tranquil County. It couldn't possibly be Catherine who saved him, right?'
"It's me. I'm Gavin's student. Saving Felix is my duty. I'll do anything to make you happy."
Alexander withdrew his gaze and said,
"Alright, then get out and don't come back."
Esme was speechless. 'How could Alexander be like this! I tell him I saved Felix, yet he still wants to kick me out?'
"Alexander."
Alexander impatiently waved his hand as several bodyguards immediately stepped forward, grabbing Esme's arms and tossing her out.
Esme stood at the ward door, tearfully looking at the closed door. 'I will definitely come back!'
Inside the ward, Alexander's expression was stern.
His secretary stepped forward and bowed, "Mr. Howard, do you think something is wrong with Esme?"
Alexander pressed his temples, a bloodthirsty smile curling his lips!
"If she really saved Felix, why would she come to deliver chicken soup? Clearly, she's trying to take credit for someone else's work. Go find out exactly how many daughters the Windsor family has!"
"Yes, sir."
