The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Treated the wound, Lindsey put the medicine box away and continued eating without asking anything.

The last time a few gangsters came from L city, she expected those people would not stop after they were cleaned up, but she did not expect them to come again so soon.

Bruce accompanied Lange, sitting quietly on the sidelines, his sword brows tightly knitted.

He was not afraid of the people who came to the door, but only worried that Burton, who was hiding behind the curtain, would be adverse to Lindsey. The relationship between their cousins has not been very harmonious since childhood. With his nature of not giving up until he gets what he wants, this is really a big possibility.

In silence, Lindsey barely ate half of her meal, put down her lunch box and drew a tissue to wipe her mouth.

“Lange, how are you feeling?” Tossing the paper towel into the trash, she asked indifferently, “What weapons were those people carrying.”

Lange had already recovered and smiled bitterly: “Much better, the other side was carrying a steak-cutting knife, no other weapons were found.”

Lindsey rubbed his brow and turned his head to Bruce: “Why don’t you go back to B City first?”

Bruce shook his head, his tone firm and inexplicable: “No, I can’t leave until Grandpa’s condition improves.”

Just kidding, at this time to go, he became what kind of person are.

“Okay, then, when big brother comes back, you and Lange find big brother to talk about this matter.” Lindsey’s heart warmed, and the look on her face eased slightly: “Even if we can’t catch anyone, we can still deter them.”

Bruce pursed his lips, controlled the wheelchair closer to the past, looked at her with concern: “Lindsey, you don’t have to worry about me.”

“Or call me Lindsey, you call so fleshy, careful my brothers beat you up.” Lindsey took the corner of her lips: “There is nothing to do you guys go back first.”

Lange responded, stood up and opened the door to go out.

Bruce didn’t move, but suddenly took Lindsey’s hand and said in a gentle voice: “Grandpa will be fine, don’t feel too bad, I will always be there for you no matter what.”

Lindsey raised her eyes in fear and was confused when she ran into his affectionate gaze.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The two of them had only known each other for a few months, and she had no feelings for him, but only sympathy.

He was a son of a wealthy family, and she was just a lonely, miserable orphan girl. Even though she had three brothers to spoil her, the conditions were still very different compared to his.

Bruce was hurt by her frightened look, took a deep breath and continued, “Believe it or not, I sincerely want to take care of you and protect you for the rest of my life.”

“I don’t want to talk about it right now.” Lindsey interrupted him and smiled pretending to be strong: “I appreciate your feelings, that’s all.”

Bruce wanted to say something else, but the words came to his lips, but he didn’t know how to open this mouth.

In the stalemate, he looked at her deeply, controlled the wheelchair and slowly turned his head away.

Lindsey waited alone in her room until after eight o’clock, when Tankard and the others opened the door, dragging their tired, listless bodies in.

“How’s Grandpa doing?” Lindsey asked anxiously, busily going to pour water for them.

Tankard looked at Warren and then at Maximus without making a sound.

Lindsey finished pouring the water, and when they didn’t say anything, she realized that things might be just as she thought, and that her grandfather was in a very bad way.

She stood there, as if her strength had been drained overnight, unable to take a step.

“Lindsey, don’t worry, the specialist said there is a one in ten thousand hope if we operate.” Maximus couldn’t bear to see her lost in thought and took the initiative to speak: “I’m afraid that grandpa won’t agree to the surgery, wait until the experts from B City come tomorrow and see what they say.”

“Grandpa won’t listen to me.” Lindsey’s body swayed, and his steps were weak as he walked to the side and sat down: “He won’t listen to your advice either.”

The words fell to the ground, and the room became quiet once again, leaving the not-so-steady breathing of the siblings.

The three brothers were so hungry that they had to call the hotel restaurant to order food to be sent up to them.

Lindsey stood alone by the window, her eyes unfocused, staring at the bustling world at her feet, like a porcelain doll without a soul, docile and meek.

She was less than a year old when her parents left and could not feel the pain. Over the years, her grandfather has become her closest relative in this world. Just the thought of the worst outcome made her chest ache and she couldn’t catch her breath.

“Lindsey, be strong, Grandpa can’t stand to see you cry.” In between waiting for the meal, Warren walked behind her and patted her back: “As long as there’s a ray of hope, we won’t give up.”

“Warren …” Lindsey slowly turned around and jumped into his arms, crying with a loud “wow”.

“Go ahead and cry, and remember to smile when you get to the hospital tomorrow.” Warren embraced her thin body and sighed heavily.

Behind them, Tankard and Maximus bowed their heads, silently wetting their eyes.

The shrapnel stuck in Old Mr. Heard’s body has long since grown to a piece with the body fat, and because of its location very close to the heart, the risk of surgery is as great as the proportion of hope.

In other words, it is possible to live with the operation, and it is also possible not to get off the operating table. After all, he was already over 80 years old, and all his organs were already in an aging state.

The depressing emotions that hung heavy over everyone’s heart for a long time.

Compared to the siblings, Bruce was also sad.

As soon as the results of the specialist consultation at Cloud Mountain came out, Old Mr. Heard’s attending doctor called him at the first opportunity. Originally he wanted to go to Lindsey’s room to comfort her, but considering that Tankard and the others must be there, he gave up.

After a moment of annoyance at the window, he took out his phone, flipped to Charlotte’s number and dialed it.

The expert group from B City leaves tomorrow morning, and he wants to know in advance, which ones are coming.

The call was answered, and before Bruce could speak, he heard Charlotte say in a tired voice, “Kevin took Tina to Cloud Mountain, so be careful.”

“It doesn’t matter, I want to know who are the experts coming to Cloud Mountain tomorrow.” Bruce heard Tina’s name, subconsciously frowned, thinking how she and Kevin mixed together.

At this end, Charlotte was silent for a moment, flipped through the record book, and said with concern, “They’re all big names in cardiology, is Old Mr. Heard’s condition bad?”

“Especially bad, it took two days of resuscitation to wake up, and several of Lindsey’s brothers are here today.” Bruce finished, couldn’t help but remind, “Keep an eye on Grandpa’s physical exam, he’s not too young.”

Charlotte smiled: “Do not worry, I do not catch this matter, Mr. Mu will also keep an eye on it.”

Bruce thought about it and hung up the phone after talking about Old Mr. Heard’s condition.

The phone was down for less than a minute when a call suddenly came in, and he reached up to see Phoebe’s number, and his lips couldn’t help but curl up in a playful smile.
