Chapter 233 You Are My Hero

A second ago, Nina was paralyzed by her fear of falling from the building. She felt the cold wind against her face, stinging her eyes. The next second, she found herself in a warm embrace. It all happened so fast. John was like a hero that descended from the sky.

Nina could hear John's heartbeat.

Why?

Why did he jump down?

"It's okay. You're okay." John held her in his arms. She could not stop herself from shaking.

Her eyes still hurt so much that they had started to water.

Nina remembered what Michelle's master, Paul, had said.

"When you love someone, you always choose to be with that person no matter what happens."

Nina had heard a lot of stories about men dying for love. She used to think they were ridiculous. How could a man be willing to abandon his own life for a woman?

But now

Nina realized the stories were true after all.

John jumped out of the building without hesitation. He was only thinking about protecting her.

He did not just like her.

Maybe it was love because only love was capable of that sort of sacrifice.

"Honey, my hero," she breathed. 'John, you are my hero,' she whispered in her heart.

John's body froze as a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Finally, his little girl call

s soon as they got in the car, Nina ordered Richard to drive straight to Kanner Hospital.

On their way there, John lost consciousness in Nina's arms. He was sent to the operating room upon their arrival to the hospital.

For the second time, Nina found herself pacing outside the operating room and trying to calm herself. The first time was with Kristina behind the doors, and now it was John.

They were the two people who had always been good to her.

The first time, she was stained with Kristina's blood. She looked down at her shirt and stared at the blood all over it.

It was not hers at all.

John was badly injured. He probably fainted because he had lost a lot of blood.

Nina's palms and fingertips suddenly turned cold, and her whole body trembled. She stared at the small glass pane on the operating room door and just stood there.

She did not know how long she had waited. When she saw the doctor come out, she rushed to him and asked, "How did it go? How is my husband?"

The doctor took off his mask and answered, "Don't worry, Mrs. Shi. Mr. Shi is no longer in danger."

Nina almost collapsed on her knees as relief washed over her.

Soon, a nurse rolled John out of the operation room, and Nina started sobbing.
