Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 128

Madeline stood there with her trembling legs. She was so frightened that her face turned as pale as a paper.

She looked like a dying patient that time. It seemed like there was no blood flushed on her face.

Maggie and Zabrina beside her were crying; they were very scared. Wendy was always the only one who remained calm among them. But at the moment, she was shocked and froze in one place as if she turned into a rock. She just stood there without any reactions.

Some of the crew remained on the shore while the others jumped into the sea to rescue. The crew members that were on the shore held their breath and looked at the direction where Zed swam.

One second, ten seconds, twenty seconds and a few seconds more had passed... But no one got out of the sea.

Finally, someone got out of the water a few moments later.

It was Zed! The director instructed all the crew members that was on the shore to help Zed immediately. He saw that Zed was struggling to swim while carrying Jean towards the shore.

The director felt more anxious when she saw Jean. Then, he helped and lifted Jean towards shore. But he found out that her eyes were closed. Aside from that, her face was also extremely pale.

At the sight of that, the crew took a deep breath. It seemed that someone's life would be lost that day.

Madeline was so scared to see that Jean was dying. She couldn't believe what happened to Jean. She leaned against her husband and started to cry.

"Jean, Jean!" Zed hurriedly and loudly called her name. His heart started to panic when he saw Jean didn't respond.

The director was standing beside Zed. He wiped the sweat on his face and said, "The ambulance is coming over. They would arrive soon."

She's not going to make it!

Zed immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and chest compression to her. He did it for about one minute, yet nothing still happened.

Jean was lying there helplessly. It looked like she would not breathe anymore.

Zed felt that his heart was torn apart that time. His heart was filled with regrets. Then, he said to himself, 'Why did I force her to be part of this program?

If Jean would be gone, then what do I need the company for? It will be all meaningless.'

"Wake up! Wake up!" He tried to shake her. He was acting like he was insane.

Other people stood aside with a hint of grief on their faces. Jean's assistant even cried when she saw Jean that was almost dead. Everyone kept silent when they saw the situation.

Ahem, ahem… Ughh…

The sound of cough shocked everyone. They were all shocked when they saw what happened.

Jean coughed for a few times and spit out a lot of sea water. She could hardly open her eyes. She felt like her body was pressed by a heavy stone; she could barely breathe.

She was dazzled when she saw that Zed was holding her in fear. Then she asked, "What's… What's wrong with you?"

Zed was confused for a few seconds. Then he delightfully grabbed Jean with his arms. He held her head with his hand and said, "Don't you ever leave without asking my permission!"

"What?" She asked in an extremely weak voice. The next second, she passed out.

In the hospital, The crowd was standing outside the emergency room and waited anxiously.

An hour later, the light of the emergency room went out outside the door. The doctor stepped out from the room and removed his mask.

"Doctor, how is she? Is she fine?" Zed anxiously asked.

The doctor smiled with a mellow face and answered, "The patient is alright now. But she has to be taken good care of. If not, there might be some corollary effects since she had been drowned in the water for too long. She was so lucky to be alive.

But her brain was heavily out of oxygen. So if she hadn't been sent here immediately, she would have been dead. Though her condition is fine now, she might be still in a coma for a few days... Or even a week."

"Thank you so much." The director said. Then he asked the crew to deal with the admission processes for Jean.

Everyone didn't realize how terrible Jean's condition was until they heard that she was going to be in a coma for a week.

Madeline and the other three women didn't go to the hospital. Instead, they just waited in the hotel. She asked her assistant to wait for the result. When they heard what the result was, they finally got relieved. Their faces were still gloomy though.

Madeline sat down on the couch and didn't say anything.

Zabrina heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Jean was not going to die. Even so, she was still depressed. They were still trembling when they thought about what Zed told them when Jean was sent to the hospital.

"If something bad happens to her, I won't let you go!" Zed said it with a killing madness in his eyes.

Who was Zed? Though he was just a boss of a company, he had invested for a lot of movies in the past recent years.

He was the hottest investor that all media were scrambling for. If they would piss him off, he could get them banned just with his words.

"It's all your fault! You said you wanted to ruin her to avenge your good friend. If it wasn't because of you, we would not have ended up like this." Madeline got angrier when she thought about that. Then, she toughly threw a pillow at Wendy.

Wendy got angry after a while and said, "You came up with that idea. You suggested to let her gulp some sea water. We only listened to you. Now you blame all that happened on us?"

"Exactly. If it wasn't because of your idea, we would have not be in such a mess." Maggie said while she fiercely stared at Madeline.

Madeline was shocked for a second. Then her face turned dark immediately, "So you are joining together to go against me now? Don't you agree on that? Listen carefully! When I raised that idea, neither of you refused it. Then now, you came to blame me for all the things that happened?"

After she dropped her words, they suddenly turned silent. No one dared to talk.

They all knew Zed's power. So they didn't have any reason to argue anymore.

Zabrina didn't say anything that moment. After a while, she started to cry and said, "It took me so much time and effort to be on the position I am in today. Am I going to lose all of this straightaway?"

Everyone's face turned darker after they heard what she said.

"We better go and apologize to her when she wakes up." Wendy said in a gloomy face.

There was no better way to solve their problem that time. So they didn't disagree. Instead, they easily gave their approval.

Zed was at Jean's side all night in the ward. He didn't even close his eyes.

On the following day, Jean hadn't woken up yet. She was lying there like a sleeping beauty.

The director went there several times. He was worried about Zed. He thought that Zed might be already tired, so he suggested to hire a nurse. But unfortunately, Zed refused his suggestion. The ward she stayed in was for VIP only. A staff was also provided there to take care of their food. Zed stayed up the whole night to look after Jean. The doctor checked her again the next morning. Then, he left after he said that Jean was fine.

Zed lay down on the couch and fell asleep quickly.

It was almost noon when Jean finally woke up. The bright radiance of the sun shone through the window. The sun shone straight to her eyes when she opened them.

'Where am I?'

Jean contemplated for a while. She was about to sit up, but she suddenly felt that her body was so painful; she was really weak.

Feeling dazzled, she gave up. When she raised her head, Jean saw the man sleeping on the couch. She suddenly recalled what Zed told her that moment when she got sober on the shore.

"Don't you ever leave without asking my permission!"

His words were so compelling but sweet. She couldn't help but smile. She only remembered that she was swept away by the waves. After a few seconds, she lost her consciousness. She felt that someone did cardiopulmonary resuscitation and chest compression to her. Then finally, she woke up.

She instantly saw Zed's face when she woke up on the shore. He was so frightened. It looked like he was really scared to lose her.

He totally captured her heart that time.

She hoped that Zed would wrap her in his arms, and wouldn't let her go.
