Chapter 55 - Her Husband

When Alexander was about to leave the tent, he saw the female who helped him standing at a corner. The female's face was white, and her right arm seemed to be extremely stiff. He went forward immediately and grabbed her hand. Her clothes were stained with blood and her face was distorted due to the pain.

"Do you not want your arm anymore?!" Alexander didn't know why he was so angry when he saw the girl keeping quiet despite her arm was shot by a bullet.

"What are you getting angry for?!" The girl rebutted.

Due to anger, Alexander's grip on the girl's hand increased and the girl hissed in pain, "Ssss!"

"Only now do you feel the pain?!" Alexander raised his voice while pulling the girl's sleeves up to look at the wound.

Her arm was not only shot by a bullet, but it was also injured by the poison needles.

Thinking back on how the girl had helped him, Alexander felt guilty. At the same time, he felt his heart ripping in pain.

He calmed his emotion while he went to take the antidotes.

"It will sting a little," Alexander said gently as he injected the antidote into the girl that helped him here.

"Mm."

"Thanks for helping me."

"Welcome… Sss…"

"Bear with it for a little."

"I know."

"Done."

Alexander looked at his watch to see if Mo Xi could hold on a while more before he brings the antidote to her. Luckily, Mo Xi wasn't hit at areas near the vital points, although she was badly injured and poisoned, she could hold on long enough for him to take out the bullet from the girl's arm.

The bullet on the girl's arm was near areas where the nerve was, hence the bullet had to be removed quickly.

"I must take out the bullets now, if not you will not be able to keep your arms."

"Mm."

Alexander grabbed the anesthesia and injected it into the girl's arm before he started to remove the bullet.

After a few minutes, he sewed up her wounds.

"Avoid using this arm for the time being. I need to bring the antidotes to Mo Xi."

"Ok."

Alexander was multilingual in the first place, so he was able to converse with all of them in Chinese. The only reason why he often spoke to Mo Xi in French was that his French pronunciation in the past wasn't very good, and his mother often complained about it. Hence, after meeting Mo Xi, Mo Xi forced him to practice his French.

After a few minutes, Alexander showed up outside the tent.

"She will be fine, don't worry… I will give them antidotes." Alexander said to Jing Mo Chen as he walked into the tent while looking at his watch.

A while later, Alexander came out and waited for the operation to finish with Jing Mo Chen.

"How is she?" Jing Mo Chen asked

"Still being operated. But the poisons have been removed."

"Thank you."

"You are her husband, right?" Alexander asked in a tone that was more like a definite answer than a question.

"Mm…"

After two hours.

"Remember not to say whatever you saw or know to anyone else." Jing Mo Teng said in a serious voice to the senior students.

"Understood!" The senior students answered before they left.

Jing Mo Teng, Ling Xuan, and the senior students came out.

"How is she?!" Jing Mo Chen asked hurriedly.

"She is fine, the operation was a success thanks to Professor Alexander's antidote."

Jing Mo Chen felt relieved at the instant, "Can I go see her?"

"Go."

"Thank you!"

Jing Mo Chen said quickly as he went into the tent.

Jing Mo Chen's eyes went red when he saw Mo Xi's bandaged body. He walked towards Mo Xi and took her hands to feel if they were warm. A tear fell rolled down his face when he felt that Mo Xi's hands were warm.

No one knew how terrible he felt when he saw Mo Xi fainting in front of him again. The first time they met, she took a bullet for him. For the past five years, he searched high and low for her and his hopes crushed every time the search ended up as a failure. When she appeared again, she fainted in front of him and was sent to the hospital. Now that they finally got together, she fainted once again in front of him, with her body ice-cold, as though she was really gone this time. He almost lost her once again because of the criminal group that they fought so hard to find, and because he was late. Late in sending people to protect her, late in protecting her from the attacks, and almost late to treat her injuries. He hated himself for not protecting her well enough despite he dotted and loved her so much that he wanted to keep her safe his whole life.

"Little Xi… Thank you for coming back to me…" Jing Mo Chen said as he kissed Mo Xi's forehead and a tear rolled down from his eye and fell onto Mo Xi's face.

Alexander stood by the entrance of the tent as he looked at Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi. He looked at his watch and was relieved to see that Mo Xi was fine.

Alexander went back to the hotel right after seeing that Mo Xi's operation was a success and that she was well.

"What happened to Eve and you?! Why were you two poison?!" London exclaimed from the opposite end of the call.

"The criminal group from before appeared once again, and they followed Mo Xi when we were over here."

"You mean Poker?! Why did they appear again?! Why didn't you two inform us when you knew they were tailing her?!"

"We didn't know it was them until another two people appeared…"

"How are you two now?!"

"She just finished her operation, and the operation was very successful. I am fine as well. We took the antidote already."

London breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good... I will ask Paris and the others to go over to protect you all."

"There's no need for that, Eve's husband came, and he brought his men over. They are very well trained as well. Furthermore, those criminals that followed her had already died. They won't be able to come after us for a while."

"Ok, that's good… Wait, Eve's husband?! Since did she get married?!"

"She just got married recently. She married the guy that had been on her mind for the past five years…"
