Chapter 44 Waking Up From The Chaos

Mary forcefully pushed William aside without any warning. He was about to explode angrily but then, he saw Mary collapse to the floor. .

William shot out of bed, scrambling over toward Mary and taking her in his arms. "Mary?" he called frantically, cradling Mary's unconscious form. "Mary! Wake up!"

Tears continued to streak Mary's face. Her eyes were ringed with thick dark circles due to lack of sleep, and her pallid face attracted pity of people who were worried about her.

William grabbed a random coat and wrapped himself and Mary in it. He lifted her up and carried her downstairs.

He drove at a breakneck speed to the hospital, holding one of Mary's hands in his. It took him only ten minutes to get to the nearest hospital.

"Doctor! Help! Please, it's an emergency!" William began shouting even before they had entered the hospital.

Several doctors on duty heard the commotion and arrived by their side, attempting to lift Mary out of the car.

But William wouldn't let them. He turned around, gathered Mary into his arms, and said coldly, "I'll carry her in.".

The doctors could only nod in agreement, rather stunned by the authority in William's voice.

It was only when Mary was on a hospital bed and stable enough that William let the attendants lead him out of the room.

When he emerged into the corridor, William reached into his pocket and realized that he hadn't brought anything with him, given the rush he had earlier been in.

He used an idle phone at the reception desk to call Kevin.

"Hello? Who is this?" Kevin sounded a little hoarse when he answered, as if he had just woken up.

"It's me... William."

"Oh my God! Boss!". Kevin, who was usually

capable, but only when nothing is happening. Aren't you?

Hmm?". . . . .

William's voice had risen to a resounding level, the department managers positively cowering before him.

"Hold a press conference in the afternoon. Give me the perfect solution to the problem that every department is responsible for. Otherwise, it won't matter how much effort you have put in for the company before. You will be fired! The meeting is over!" he barked at them. . . .

The managers nodded, freaked out by the meeting, and filed out of the room in succession.

"Manager Wang," William called, indicating that he should stay.

The manager of the Entertainment Department trembled with fear. He thought William would blame him and said hurriedly, "Yes boss? Is there anything else?"

"Call Victor. I want to see him now," William said, his tone indifferent, but eyes blazing. .

"Yes, sir. Sure, sir," Manager Wang said, nodding fervently. .

Victor was still filming at the site of the Past of Republic of China.

No matter what gossip was going around, he had to act and do his job. What was more, the scandal that had erupted in recent days had attracted more attention to his new opera.

But he didn't know anything about how Mary now was.

"Victor!" Jorge called, hurrying over to him. .

Victor was surprised to see him here. "Jorge, why are you here?" he asked. .

"Boss wants to see you," Jorge said, casting worried eyes on Victor. .

"William is back?" Victor asked, his eyebrows rising.

"Yeah," Jorge nodded. "Shall I turn him down and refuse to see him?".

"No," said Victor, frowning, as if he had made up his mind. "I have something I need to talk to him about."
