The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

~ At Chou Hospital ~

Yuri took the night shift since she didn't report this morning as she visited the Wilkins Family. She was sitting in her office when she received an emergency call from the head nurse in the emergency room.

"Dr. Chou, we have a gunshot patient. She was shot at the back near her heart. We need to operate on her immediately. Dr. Gomez already asked to prepare the Operating room and the Anaesthesiologist Team..."

"He asked me to inform you as we need a heart surgeon."

"Okay. I'm on my way!"

Yuri immediately changed into her operating gown and prepared for the surgery. She was rushing to the operating room.

Tristan was waiting outside the operation room. He asked Miho to return to Zhen-Zhen, reporting everything that happened in the warehouse.

He received a call from Andrew. He answered it right away.

"Brother, where are you?" Andrew asked him right away when the call got connected.

"I'm at the Chou Hospital. This is the best hospital here in the City of Empire so I brought Bianca here. She is currently in the operating room right now, undergoing surgery," Tristan informed him.

Andrew put his phone on the loudspeaker so that Alveena and Clifford could hear Tristan. Clifford was still bothered by what happened. He felt guilty. Because of him, Bianca got hurt.

Though Bianca was his bodyguard, he didn't expect that she would really step up to protect him in exchange for her life. She just sacrificed her life for Clifford.

He was silently praying that Bianca would be fine. He was so afraid of what would happen to her. 

'Please be safe, Bianca. You can't die…' Clifford thought to himself while clenching his fists.

"Okay, brother. We are on the way to Chou Hospital. We are coming so wait for us." Andrew said, squeezing Alveena's hand.

"Okay. So what happened to the culprits?" Tristan asked Andrew.

"Members of Fiery Eagles arrived. They took them. The team leader is here. He is driving the car. Do you want to talk to him?" 

"It's alright. Grandpa told me that Fiery Eagle will handle everything. I will just wait for you here and talk to him in person." Tristan said goodbye to his brother and hung up the phone.

Tristan heaved a deep sigh as he glanced at the operating room. He thought he could protect everyone because he had the power and strength of Miho. But he became overconfident. Because of that, Bianca got hurt.

Bianca is a very close friend and bodyguard of Zhen-Zhen. She would be sad once she learned that Bianca got hurt and her life was in danger right now.

'Damn! I promise Zhen-Zhen that I will protect everyone… but I failed.' Tristan punched the wall.

"Ouch!" Tristan grunted in pain, realizing that Miho was no longer protecting him.

He shook his hand, rubbing his knuckles before smacking his forehead.

*****

After 30 minutes, Alveena, Andrew, and Clifford arrived at the Chou Hospital. They proceeded right away to the waiting area just outside the operating room. The surgery was still ongoing.

"Brother, how is it?" Andrew asked him, feeling anxious.

Alveena and Clifford were at the back, also anticipating Tristan's response.

"She is still inside. It will take time. Let's just wait." Tristan mumbled, glancing at the operating room.

The four of them fell silent. They were hoping that Bianca would survive this.

"I'm sorry… I failed to protect everyone…" Tristan apologized to them.

Alveena shook her head. "You don't have to apologize. You did your best to save us. If not for you, maybe I should have been shot also. Thank you for saving me, Tristan."

"Thank you for saving my sister…" Clifford also spoke up, expressing his genuine gratitude to Tristan.

Tristan's lips curled up into a small smile.

"I just did what I had to do. And my wife also asked me to save you. No need to thank me. But… Can you please keep it a secret… about what you've witnessed in the warehouse?" Tristan requested.

Alveena and Clifford exchanged glances with one another. They were also curious how Tristan was able to do that. They were not imagining things. They saw what they saw… extraordinary things that they could only see in the movie.

And what about teleportation? How could they explain those things?

Tristan and Andrew met each other as they noticed Alveena's and Clifford's curious expressions. They knew that what happened a while ago was unbelievable.

"Tristan… if you don't mind… Can you tell us how were you able to do those things? You used teleportation for real. The bullets couldn't penetrate your body. You punched a man and he flew away. Does Heavenly Star Enterprise have a secret laboratory or technology for superhumans?" 

Andrew: "..."

Tristan: "..."

The brothers didn't know whether to laugh or not because of Alveena's assumption. Andrew even chewed on his lower lip, fighting the urge to laugh.

Tristan scratched the back of his head while smiling sheepishly.

"Young Master Tristan, do you want to talk to me?"

Their conversation was interrupted when Uno approached them and spoke to Tristan.

"Alveena, I will answer you later. Brother, you should go and see a doctor first to treat your bruises. Mr. Sy, can you please stay here and wait for Bianca's surgery to finish? I will just talk to Uno."

Clifford nodded his head, glancing at the Operating room worriedly. As time went by, he was becoming more anxious for Bianca's safety.

Alveena stayed with Clifford since Andrew told her that he would come back soon. Andrew, Tristan, and Uno excused themselves, leaving the Sy siblings.

Alveena tapped Clifford's shoulder as she could see the guilt in his eyes.

"Brother, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault," she softly mumbled, consoling her brother. 

Clifford looked down, observing his hands. There were still bloodstains on his palms. It was Bianca's blood. Then he clenched his fists tightly. Alveena could only look at him helplessly.

"Alveena… do you think Bianca will just be fine? Will she be okay?" Clifford's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Let's trust Bianca. Don't worry, Brother. Bianca will survive this. This is nothing compared to what she experienced during her training."

At that certain moment, Clifford swore to himself that he would be good to her. He would make it up to her and return the favor. So he wished for her safety. He prayed that she could survive.
