Chapter 19 She Is His Fiancée
Marcus's eyes lit up!
Right, Catherine's medical skills were quite good.
The prescription he was currently taking was written by Catherine, and she checked everything before he took his medicine each time.
With Catherine around, what could possibly happen to Felix?
The hospital room door was pushed open, and several masked medical staff stood at the entrance.
"Marcus, Felix has passed out. We need to take Felix to the operating room now."
These people were clearly prepared.
Their faces were completely covered, preventing anyone from seeing their true appearance.
Marcus snorted coldly: "I'd like to see who dares to take Felix away while I'm here!"
The medical staff remained expressionless and said in a deep voice: "Felix's health is what matters. If something happens to Felix in your room, even you won't be able to explain it when the Howard family investigates. You'd better hand him over to us."
Marcus was furious.
"Nonsense! I've never heard of anyone daring to give me a hard time! Those who dared threaten me are already dead on the battlefield. You dare too?"
The medical staff exchanged glances with each other.
The lead staff member stepped forward, actually trying to physically force Marcus aside to take Felix away!
"Marcus, excuse us, but Felix's health is critical. We must take him!"
Catherine rushed to treat Felix.
Before the medical staff could get close, Felix opened his eyes.
He lifted his foot and kicked hard at the lead doctor's chest.
"Get lost!"
The doctor hadn't expected Felix to suddenly attack. He was holding a sharp small knife in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly!
Marcus sneered: "So Felix was your target all along."
The guards who had been hiding under the bed emerged and captured all the confused medical staff.
Catherine's eye twitched.
When she was checking for the bomb earlier, she had seen those special forces soldiers hiding under the bed.
She hadn't expected they were lying in wait to catch people at the critical moment.
Felix had just woken up when he coughed up blood and passed out again.
Catherine spoke up: "Grandpa, Felix needs surgery to remove the blood clots. Arrange an operating room."
Marcus nodded, completely trusting her decision.
"You go ahead, leave the rest to me."
He would deal with whoever else was left in the hospital!
Three hours later.
Catherine removed her mask and came out of the operating room, having independently completed a heart surgery.
Felix was still unconscious but had passed the critical stage.
"Grandpa, I'm heading back now. If Felix's condition changes at all, just call me and I'll come right away."
Marcus looked at Catherine's sweat-soaked clothes - even her surgical gown was drenched - and felt terrible for her.
Felix was so lucky!
If he hadn't run into Catherine, he might be dead by now.
"Okay, okay, you go back. I'll handle everything at the hospital, including those medical staff!"
If Catherine's guess was right, the bomb in Marcus's room was probably also planted by those bought-off medical staff.
Poisoning Felix and planting a bomb in Marcus's room - killing two birds with one stone.
Marcus saw Catherine's concern and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, my room has surveillance cameras."
Catherine nodded, said goodbye to Marcus, and left the hospital.
At the hospital entrance, Esme spent a long time adjusting her clothes before walking in with a thermos.
She had to rack up enough good impressions in front of Felix to let him know how suitable she was for the Howard family!
She was the Windsor family's best daughter!
Esme pushed open the hospital room door to see Felix lying in bed with many tubes attached to him, looking like he was in a deep sleep.
"Mr. Howard? I'm Esme from the Windsor family. I came to see you!"
Felix slowly opened his eyes.
"Esme?"
He seemed to remember that the person from the Windsor family who had just been by his side wasn't this one.
Esme nodded excitedly and took out the chicken soup she had prepared, placing it beside Felix.
"I made chicken soup for you myself. It's really good for your health!"
As she spoke, she glanced toward the door.
A clear, commanding voice came from the doorway, carrying an indescribable authority and presence!
"Who are you?"
Alexander walked into the room, followed by a long line of bodyguards.
He had cleaned out all the medical staff in the entire hospital!
It was only because Marcus had deliberately left some openings last time to let those people in so they could catch them that Alexander had intentionally left loopholes. With his decisive actions, it would be extremely difficult for Phantom Crew to interfere with Bright Heal Hospital again!
Esme looked at Alexander before her - dressed in a black suit, Alexander had sharp, handsome features, and every movement exuded noble bearing. His tie was crisp, his gold-rimmed glasses reflected cold light, and he radiated a kingly presence!
"Mr. Alexander Howard, I'm Esme from the Windsor family. I came to bring soup to Mr. Felix Howard. I made this soup myself."
Alexander's expression was cold, his gaze falling on the chicken soup Esme was holding.
He frowned and said coldly: "Take your soup and get out."
Esme bit her lip.
How could he be so harsh to her?
He must not know she was his fiancée! Once he knew, he definitely wouldn't kick her out!
After Alexander spoke, he didn't spare Esme, who was clearly unwanted in the room, another glance.
"Grandpa, are you okay? I heard someone tampered with your medicine. I'm sorry I came late."
Felix waved his hand and coughed several times before speaking weakly: "It's fine. How could you cover everything? I know what's going on. When I had my episode just now, I remember it was Marcus's granddaughter who saved me."
Felix had just woken up and was a bit confused. As he talked with Alexander, he fell asleep.
Alexander carefully covered him with a blanket, his gaze gentle. His sculptured features were particularly rugged, but his eyes held an unfathomable, deep gleam.
Looking at his profile, Esme felt her heart start racing wildly!
Alexander before her was just too handsome - both his bearing and looks were a perfect match for her! Not to mention he was the richest person on the outstanding entrepreneur rankings!
If she could marry him, Esme couldn't even imagine how good her life would be!
Alexander looked up at Esme and frowned: "Why are you still here? I said, get out."
Esme spoke shyly, softening her voice: "Alexander, we have an engagement. Have you forgotten? I'm your fiancée!"
Just this one?
Earlier, Felix said Marcus's granddaughter had saved him.
Alexander showed no emotion, his gaze cool and indifferent.
"You mean you saved my grandfather?"
Esme quickly nodded!
Felix must have remembered wrong. The Windsor family only had a few granddaughters, Juniper was still in Tranquil County - it couldn't possibly be Catherine who saved him, right?
"Yes, it was me. I'm Gavin's student. Saving Felix was what I should do. As long as it makes you happy, I'm willing to do anything."
Alexander withdrew his gaze and nodded.
"Good, then get out and don't come back."
Esme was speechless.
How could Alexander do this!
She had already told him she saved Felix, how could he still kick her out?
"Alexander."
Alexander impatiently waved his hand, and immediately several bodyguards stepped forward, grabbed Esme by the arms, and threw her out.
Esme stood outside the hospital room door, looking tearfully at the closed door.
She would definitely come back!
Inside the room, Alexander's expression was cold.
His secretary stepped forward and bowed: "Mr. Howard, do you think there's something wrong with Esme?"
Alexander pressed his temples, the corners of his mouth curling into a bloodthirsty smile!
"If she really saved my grandfather, why would she come bringing chicken soup? She's obviously an idiot trying to take credit for someone else's work. Go find out for me exactly how many daughters the Windsor family has!"
"Yes, sir."
