Chapter 814: Chapter 814: He Almost Died
Standing in the wind, Brittany couldn’t help herself trembling. She moved her lips and heard her own voice, "Okay. Where are you? I would be right there."
"No. I can pick you up. Tell me about your location."
Then the housekeeper hung the phone up and drove to pick up Brittany.
After Brittany got into the car, the housekeeper fell into silence. He didn’t tell her where he wanted to take her. Finally, he parked at the door of the hospital.
"Why are we here?"
"Norman is here."
Hearing this, Brittany was a little shocked. Her pupils shrunk immediately and stared at the housekeeper in shock, "Why?"
"Since he decided to seek after you, he applied to quite the job. But his job is so special and confidential. Therefore, most governors didn’t agree with the application but Norman insisted it. To achieve this, he even uses his family. But it didn’t go smoothly. After he returned back to A, he was attacked. He was shot on the back. He almost died."
Hearing these words, Brittany’s heart trembled.
So, that was why he got shocked on the back, near to his heart.
The housekeeper looked at the expression on Brittany’s face. If Brittany still looked indifferent, he would not continue to tell her more about Norman.
But when seeing her facial expression, the housekeeper knew she cared about Norman. She gave up Norman because of other factors. Maybe their families. But she didn’t know how much Norman gave up to get married to him. freёwebnovel.com
The housekeeper pressed his dry lips and continued, "Actually, the Leon’s was gradually getting rid of the control of the government. To make you get married to him without any worry, he was so determined to quit the job. That made the government so angry. The government didn’t dare to interfere with the L. N group randomly. But the Leon’s is different. The Leon’s has devoted themselves to the government for many generations. They rely on the government for so many years. Therefore, the government was more brutal to them. Besides, Norman gives up not only the military rank but also the Leon’s. He has no power in the Leon’s. Now he had nothing."
"Why does he do that? I can understand he gives up the military rank. But why does he give up everything in the Leon’s?"
"Because of you," the housekeeper said and made a bitter smile, "He knows that you are such a smart girl. You would definitely suspect him. You might think this marriage might have a plot. Therefore, Norman was trying to make the marriage pure. He wants to get married to you just because he’s fallen in love with you."
These words exploded in Brittany’s mind, like thunder.
She was so shocked that she almost fell down.
"Why...why didn’t he tell me this?"
"He is a soldier. He’s used to handling all difficulties alone. Besides, she didn’t want you to worry about this. Besides, if he told you, you might think he is playing a gunning test on you. I understand, as the PR director of the group, you have to think for your family and your enterprise all the time. I understand why you suspect Norman all the time. But Norman was really sincere to you. This time, Norman really got into trouble. To get married to you, he lost his military rank. But he still failed to get you. His family would definitely punish him. But he is still so weak now. He hasn’t recovered totally yet. If he is punished again, I am afraid...."
Brittany knew what the housekeeper wanted to tell her.
In such a big family, all men were trained strictly. Luckily, she was a girl. She could escape the punishment if she said some sweet words. But no men could play this trick in the family. If they make mistakes, they would be punished.
"Where is her now? I want to see him now," Brittany said in an anxious voice. All she wanted was to see Norman now.
The housekeeper let her to the door of the ward and said, "He is in the ward. Get in."
Standing in front of the door, Brittany suddenly wanted to leave. She was afraid of seeing this man.
She took a deep breath to gather her courage and opened the door.
The man was lying on the bed in this cleanroom. It seemed that he was in deep sleeping.
The man was frowning slightly. He seemed so painful. He pressed his lips into a thin line. That made his face look more sharp and steadfast.
Sweat oozed out on his forehead. Brittany wanted to help him wipe his sweat away.
However, before she touched his forehead, Norman suddenly opened his eyes and buckled her wrist. He applied so much force that Brittany felt he wanted to remove her hands off her body.
"Uh..."
Brittany couldn’t help herself screaming out.
Seeing Brittany clearly, Norman immediately loosened her wrist and checked her condition. When he moved slightly just now, he felt extreme pain. He panted and frowned deeply.
Brittany quickly held his body and said, "Don’t move. Lie down."
"Why are you here? I think you are someone coming to kill me."
"What? Is there anyone coming to kill you these days?" Brittany couldn’t help herself rolling her eyes.
"Indeed. Many gorgeous female spies were sent into my troop to steal confidential information. But they all gave up finally for my handsomeness."
Even at this moment, Norman could still tell a joke. He raised the corner of his pale mouth and showed a relaxing smile.
Brittany didn’t know how to respond to him at the moment. She didn’t know whether to cry or smile at him now.
"Are you sleepy now? It is one o’clock in the morning. You need to sleep. You are a patient. You need to get more sleeping." Brittany said in a soft voice.
Then she tucked the quilt for him. He suddenly grabbed her hands.
This time, he was so gentle. He didn’t hold her hands tightly. But Brittany could not get rid of his hands.
"Why are you here?"
The smile gradually disappeared on his face. He fixed his eyes on her and questioned her word by word.
Hearing his question, Brittany looked towards his eyes. She was hesitating.
"Have you heard anything and come here to sympathize with me? I don’t need this," Norman raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. Then he threw her hands away.
At the moment he shook her off, she felt her heart was broken.
"I remember. You would get engaged with Adam after three days. If you don’t go back now, your fiancé would worry about you."
Norman said in a cold voice. His voice sounded cold.
"I...."
Brittany opened her mouth. She wanted to explain something. But Norman interrupted her in a cold voice, "Charlie, send her back."
Hearing his words, Charlie hesitated for a while and said, "Sir, let her stay with you for a while, please."
"If you don’t send her back, I would send her back," Norman’s eyes turned and said in a determined voice.
"You don’t need to send me back. I can leave right now on my own."
Brittany stood up and left without turning around. Norman didn’t throw an eye on her.
As the sound of her step faded away and she disappeared from the door of the ward, Norman turned around. His eyes turned darker.
Seeing this, the housekeeper sighed, "Sir, it took me a long time to ask her to come here. I know you want to talk to her. Why do you ask her to leave?"
"Did you tell her?" Norman said in a cold voice.
"Yes, sir. I think she should know because you do all these for her."
"Get fuck off," Norman squinted and shouted out in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the housekeeper had no choice but turned around and left.
The ward immediately fell into cold silence.
