Married to the President novel Chapter 54

"Ambulance!!, Someone get the ambulance!!"Julia screamed and several bodyguards rushed in and saw what was going on.

Wanju ran over to give a hand but Cheng Li with a drop of tears in his eyes yelled "keep away!!" .

Brian suddenly seemed to realise what he had done. He shot the eldest master of the Li's family and killed him in cold blood right in the Li's residence?

Yolanda Zu hides her face. She had never seen a bloody scene like this before. Brenda Zu was shivering.

What had Brian done? Their lives were never going to be the same ever again. She saw Carol sobbing as the two bodyguards helped Junxie into a stretcher.

He had fallen into unconsciousness already. But the bleeding was severe. The entire floor was filled with blood and despite trying to stop it with a gauze, it was oozing out.

"Someone call the police" Cheng Li ordered and Julia said the police were on their way.

Wanju shivered and walked towards Cheng Li. He wanted to explain to him that it wasn't what he thought. But he soon heard Carol yelling.

"Brenda, you asked your son to kill my son? You ordered him to murder my son right inside the Li's residence because he refused to marry your daughter? He should because of that right? The battle line has just been drawn" She was yelling and sobbing at the same time.

"No..no..that is not what I meant. I was.." Brenda Zu was trying to explain but the house was too much in chaos as the senior maids in the house came to hold the madam.

Julia ordered that the bodyguards were to make sure that the Zu's were taken to the police station. None of them was to be left behind.

The Li's filed into a car and went after the ambulance. Cheng Li was making calls, asking the doctors to be ready, his eldest son had been shot and needed immediate surgery to save his life.

Julia was urging the chauffeur to drive faster. He was fidgeting, he would have been the one in that ambulance had Junxie not pushed him away.

When the ambulance was driven into the hospital, the stretcher was wheeled right into the theatre and the surgery commenced immediately.

When Julia and his parents arrived, the red light of the theatre was already on and Junxie was being operated on.

Theresa Mo suddenly became uneasy. It's not quite Twenty minutes later she had a cold shiver run through her spine and she felt cold.

It is not a pleasant feeling. She doesn't know if she experienced it when her mother died, because then, she was still a little girl.

But that feeling was exactly what she felt when her father died. Why does she feel there's a bad omen?

Feeling scared and goosebumps covering her entire body, she stood up and told the kids to play alone by themselves.

She went into the bedroom that she shared with Junxie. But as soon as she stepped in, her eyes rested on Junxie's Large portrait that hung on the wall.

She saw the picture and shivered again. Junxie? Theresa Mo mumbled to herself. Something had happened to him. He is in danger somewhere.

Didn't he say to his father he was going to come to see him? At least when he was talking to his father earlier in the day, she eavesdropped on his conversation.

"Junxie, are you alright!" Theresa Mo asked but she had no Junxie around to give her the reply.

Her eyes welled up. She decided to call his mobile phone but after several times ringing, there was no response.

She became more fearful when he didn't answer his call. Something definitely had happened to Junxie. She started sobbing.

She dialled Julia and he answered. "Theresa Mo, how are you!"Julia asked. His voice was faint and sounded distant. From the way he spoke, one would guess something was wrong.

Theresa Mo paid special attention to Julia's voice. The usual vibrant and cheerful Julia was talking to her in a tone like he was whispering.

I am not fine Julia. Where is Junxie? I have been trying to call him but he is not answering his calls"Theresa Mo said feeling worried.

Julia sighed audibly and Theresa Mo heard it. He was quiet for a while before saying "he can't pick his calls right now.

Are the kids ok or is there anything you want him to do for you so I can help you with it?" Julia replied.

"Is Junxie safe, is he in danger?" Theresa Mo asked but didn't receive a response. She became more scared.

"Julia, don't let me get crossed with you. I am Junxie's woman and we have kids together. I have the right to know if anything is wrong with my boyfriend" Theresa queried.

Julia had a faint smile crossed his lips. She had now accepted Junxie as her boyfriend. That sounds great. He hoped that he made it out of the theatre alive so they both could grow in love.

"As I speak with you right now, Junxie is facing the greatest battle of his life. He may lose and he may win. But we all want him to win" Julia answered, and felt his nose sore.

"What! a battle? Was he in an accident?" Theresa Mo asked. Battle? Junxie Li definitely has to win whatever battle he is currently going through.

Her best wishes go with him all the way. " He is in the theatre. But chances of survival are fifty, fifty"Julia replied and the next thing he heard was Theresa Mo's loud sob.

She hung up but he knew she was crying profusely. He wished this was not happening to them at his time.

"It was my fault. If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive myself"Cheng Li has been saying the same lines of words over and over since they arrived at the hospital.

If he hadn't insisted that Junxie get engaged to Wanju's daughter, all these calamities wouldn't have befallen them.

Now he is afraid of the worst happening to his son. What if he can't make it out or couldn't strive to live, he will lose a son at his age?

His eldest son and the heir apparent to the entire Li's family and business. What had he done? What kind of a father is he?

He should protect the interests of his kids and not expose them to danger. Oh how much he regrets his actions.

An hour later, Junxie Li was wheeled out of the theatre in a theatre suit. He had lost so much blood that he looked pale.

The police had taken the Zu's away to their station. Brian was handcuffed and as he walked out of Li's residence into the car, he knew he had just ruined his reputation.

There were no pressmen or journalists but he knew that they couldn't escape because of the CCTV camera.

The head security called Cheng Li and told him that the culprit and his parents had been arrested. And the latter coldly said, he would see that they rot in jail.

Julia Li and his parents stood by watching Junxie. The doctor said he was free from harm's way but it might take a few days before he comes around.

Hearing that he is free from harm's way, Cheng and Carol Li sighed audibly. He will be fine when he finally wakes up.

Blood was being transfused into him. Julia then urged his parents to return home. He would stay back and look after him.

While they were still reluctant to leave, the door to the private ward where Junxie Li was kept was opened and everyone turned around to see who the fellow was and was stunned!
