Chapter 746: Chapter 734: I Want You to Marry Me (22)

Ten minutes later, Archie Lockwood changed into sterile surgical scrubs and, led by a nurse, entered the operating room.

As he entered, he braced himself to see her, injured from the car crash.

But when he truly saw her, he realized that aside from her face, which had been spared the worst of it, there was hardly an uninjured spot on her body...

’They pulled so many shards of glass from her body. She must have been in so much pain...’

’She lost so much blood... she’s so thin. How can she possibly hold on...?’

He didn’t know how he mustered the courage to walk to her bedside. He reached out, took the hand lying at her side, and rasped, "I’m sorry. Since I’d already decided to meddle in your affairs, I shouldn’t have given up halfway. I should have been more forceful, more domineering—a real bad guy—and just kept you chained to my side."

"Eleanor, just get through this, and our family can be together for good. Nothing is more important than us being a family." ’Compared to life and death, what did deception and exploitation even matter?’

’All I want is for her to live, to live a good life. So what if she tricks me and leaves me deep in debt again?’

’Eleanor, hang in there!’

’You have to hang in there!’

BEEP... BEEP BEEP... Just as Archie Lockwood was caressing Eleanor’s hand, lost in thought, a monitor suddenly started blaring.

It was immediately followed by the frantic shouts of the doctors.

Archie Lockwood didn’t know who pushed him aside. He stumbled back a few steps and froze in place.

He couldn’t seem to hear or see a thing.

His mind felt heavy and dull...

Ultimately, he didn’t even know how he got out of the operating room.

When he finally opened his eyes, it was the second day after her surgery.

"How is Eleanor Bishop?" he asked urgently, sitting up the moment he saw Howard Rhodes keeping watch by his bed.

A flicker of gloom crossed Howard Rhodes’s eyes. He lowered his head slightly and replied softly, "Boss, don’t worry. Miss Bishop’s life isn’t in immediate danger."

"Oh, that’s good. Take me to her," Archie Lockwood said, throwing back the covers to get out of bed.

Seeing this, Howard Rhodes quickly blocked his path, his expression troubled. "Boss, Miss Bishop is fine for now. You should rest a little longer before you go see her."

Seeing Howard Rhodes’s nervous expression, Archie Lockwood paused. A faint sense of unease crept into his heart. Worried, he asked in a heavy tone, "Did something happen?" ’He couldn’t really remember anything that happened after he went into the operating room. The only thing that stuck in his mind was the piercing sound of that monitor.’

"..." Howard Rhodes kept his head down, unsure how to answer.

Seeing Howard’s reaction, Archie Lockwood shot him a cold glare and barked, "Speak!"

"Miss Bishop was secretly transferred to another hospital last night."

At these words, Archie Lockwood’s heart sank, and his face grew dangerously dark. "Secretly transferred? Who authorized a secret transfer?!"

"I don’t know what happened. What’s strange is that Eleanor Bishop’s father also disappeared last night." ’Based on the circumstances, it had to be her father’s doing. But I can’t figure out why he would secretly take his own daughter away.’

’Especially since, in their current situation, relying on the boss was the only way they could get significant help and resources.’

"Find out which hospital she’s in! Now!"

"I sent people to investigate this morning, but we haven’t found anything so far."
