A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 40

At this moment, Stefan's phone rang. He took it out and noticed that Doctor Archer sent him a message.

Stefan clicked to have a look, 'Stefan, congratulation! You have a nice wife!'

Stefan couldn't help smiling.

Emmeline was pushing him forward, feeling quite happy to know that Stefan could stand up again soon.

Paul was following them behind.

When they just reached the gate of the hospital, Paul hurried to drive the car. Then Emmeline and Stefan were waiting at the gate.

Suddenly, Stefan seemed to feel that someone was aiming at him with a gun from the bush beside the hospital. Suddenly, a gunshot sounded. A bullet came straight towards his head.

However, Emmeline was standing in the front. Stefan hurried to hold her up and rolled his wheelchair forward.

The hitman behind the bush shot again. Stefan had already reached a flower bed beside the gate to take cover of themselves.

"Honey, are you okay?" Stefan checked through her body nervously.

"I am fine! Stefan, who did that? Who wants to kill us?" Her heart almost skipped a beat out of nervousness.

"Don't be afraid. We will be safe. Just squat down and don't move!" he tried to press her down.

However, more gunshots sounded again. All bullets hit on the flower bed, while one of which happened to hit his arm. Suddenly, he started to bleed.

Emmeline hurried to stand up, "Stefan, you get hurt!"

At this moment, Paul was fighting back with his gun.

Endless scream sounded in the hospital. Stefan hurried to hold her up onto his legs, "Honey, keep your head down and curl up in my arms."

"But your legs…"

Before she could finish, she felt that his wheelchair seemed to be galloping.

Emmeline curled up in his arms. She could still hear the gunshots. She closed her eyes. Suddenly, she heard him whining.

She immediately raised her head and saw that blood started to stream down from his shoulder.

She couldn't help screaming, "Stefan, you got shot! Put me down!"

Emmeline was aware that she could run away herself. However, it would be impossible for both of them to run away safely as Stefan still had to keep himself on the wheelchair.

Stefan still kept silent. He held her tight and went towards the parking lot. When his wheelchair bumped onto the car, the door was opened.

Stefan threw her into the car, "Don't' get out!"

"What about you?" then she saw that Stefan rolled his wheelchair to the right and took out a gun to shoot. Soon, two hitmen fell down on the ground.

Paul hurried to open the door, "Master Stefan, get into the car!"

Stefan hurried to approach and hopped into the car with both hands. Then a few bullets happened to hit the door.

Paul closed the door and went out of the hospital.

Blood still streamed down his shoulder continuously. Paul looked at him nervously, "Master Stefan, we should go to the hospital."

"It will only kill us!" he was aware that there were still a group of hitmen expecting him there.

Emmeline saw the blood on his shoulder. She kept crying. Then she took off her coat and covered his shoulder tight.

"Let's go to another hospital. The bullet stuck inside!" she had never encountered such a dangerous moment in her life. She was so scared that she didn't dare to look at his face.

Stefan felt softhearted when seeing her crying face, "I am fine. Paul can deal with it. It's dangerous to stay in the hospital."

Emmeline nodded, crying still. She pressed his shoulder hard. Her white coat had been stained by blood all over. The car rushed forward on the road like an arrow.

Ten minutes later, they finally reached the house. As soon as Paul parked the car, he supported Stefan into the study and closed the door.

Emmeline wanted to get in, but Paul refused, "Mrs. Stefan, we need a surgery to get the bullet off his body. You can't get in."

Emmeline could only move her hand off the door. She felt a bang of pain in her heart when seeing the blood stain all over her body.

At this moment, another car sounded outside the house. It was Doctor Archer and Arthur.

They hurried to enter and Emmeline stood up immediately, "Doctor Archer, Stefan got shot! He is now in the study."

Emmeline walked over to pat on her shoulder, "He will be fine. I am going in right now." Then Arthur and Doctor Archer pushed the door opened and entered the study.

Emmeline sat on the sofa alone. She felt like trapped in a nightmare.

She walked upstairs slowly and opened the door of the bedroom. She went into the bathroom to take off her clothes stained by blood. She turned on the shower head to clean herself. After getting herself changed, she took some clothes of Stefan and went downstairs.

She sat on the sofa while fixing her eyes on the door of the study. She had never been so powerless. It was Stefan who tried his best to protect her during the attack. If it weren't because of her, Stefan wouldn't have got shot. He couldn't move faster as he needed to carry her forward.

She couldn't believe that she, a girl sound in wind and limb, was actually protected by a cripple. She could tell that he did his best to protect her out of his nature. Except for Antonio, no one had ever been so caring about her in her life.

Half an hour later, the door was opened. Emmeline hurried to walk over, "How about him?"

Paul and Arthur came out and smiled at this anxious-looking girl, "He is fine. We got the bullet out. Emmeline, you can get in to clean his body and get him changed."

Emmeline hurried to enter. She saw Doctor Archer was giving an injection for Stefan. While he was lying on the bed in the study, looking pale.

He seemed to feel that Emmeline was approaching, he opened his eyes and saw her sad face. He tried to smile, "Honey, don't worry. I am fine."

Tears welled up in her eyes again, "Don't play tough! You bled so much!" She took a towel to clean the blood on his arm.

Doctor Archer smiled, "Mrs. Stefan, he is fine with his hard skin. Don't worry."

Emmeline looked at him, "Thank you, Doctor Archer."

Doctor Archer just smiled, "Don't mentioned it. I should be responsible for this as the attack happened in my hospital."

After he left, Emmeline gently tucked Stefan in, "Do you still feel hurt?"

Seeing that she looked sad while frowning, Stefan was rendered tenderhearted, "Honey, I am okay."

Seeing his tired face, Emmeline said, "You wouldn't get hurt if it weren't because of me."

Stefan smiled, "You are my wife. It's my duty to protect you. You must be frightened, right?"

Seeing his soft and good-looking face, Emmeline was rendered distracted. He got shot because of her. Now she owned him too much.

Both Doctor Archer and Arthur soon left. When Emmeline walked out of the study, she saw there were a group of men in black standing outside the house.

Undoubtedly, they were the guards of Stefan.

But she still failed to figure out who was the culprit.

Half an hour later, she cooked some porridge and served it to Stefan.

When she pushed the door opened, she saw Stefan sleeping soundly on the bed. He didn't wake up because of the anesthetic.

Emmeline gently put down the bowl of porridge on the table. She sat beside the bed to look at him. His face still looked attractive and domineering though he was sleeping.

His face turned to be ruddy again while he was breathing smoothly. Emmeline fixed her eyes on the infusion bottle beside, feeling pain in her heart.
