Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

With a light nod, the surgeon spoke to them politely, “The surgery is successful and Chairman Zhong is okay. There are no complications. He should be awake soon.”

Phew!!…

Both Stephanie Ruan and Isaac Wen instantly breathed a huge sigh of relief!

“Thank you, doctor!” She bowed slightly and spoke to him with great appreciation.

While the three of them are busy exchanging a few more words, they did not realise that a mysterious man has actually been observing them from afar ever since Javier Zhong entered the operation theatre.

The man stood there and gave them a final look before moving away into the shadows.

…

In the private hospital suite

Stephanie Ruan sat on the bedside of Javier Zhong and looked at him worriedly, wondering when he would be awake.

She held on to his hands and waited…

And waited…

Suddenly, they heard three steady knocks on the door, and then the room was silent again.

“I will go and get the door.” Isaac Wen immediately stood up and did not forget to report to Stephanie Ruan in a polite tone.

If it was the medical team, they would have just knocked on the door and come in straight away.

But this person simply knocked and waited outside.

Stephanie Ruan could not help but wonder, “Did someone come to visit Javier?”

Her eyes subconsciously followed Isaac Wen to the entrance of the room and she quickly saw a familiar man walking in with a huge basket of fresh fruits in his hands.

“Daniel??” She could not hide the surprise on her face.

“Stephanie? So you are really here!” Daniel Yan walked in and placed the basket on the empty table in front of the bed.

“Mia told me what had happened to Javier. And she is worried sick about you! Are you okay?”

Stephanie Ruan recalled that she was ‘forced’ to tell Mia Xue that they are in the hospital after missing the countless number of video calls she had received from her anxious secretary.

“I’m fine, it’s just that Javier, he…” She followed Daniel Yan’s line of sight and soon noticed that he is staring at her hands, which is still intimately holding onto Javier’s.

With slight embarrassment, Stephanie Ruan decided to draw her hands back but as soon as she made a slight movement, she felt Javier Zhong tightening his grip and did not let her hand go.

“Javier, you are awake??”

Her attention immediately switched to the injured man lying on the bed and she has completely forgotten about how she was feeling just a second ago.

“How are you feeling?? I’ll get some water for you.” Without waiting for his response, Stephanie Ruan poured a glass of water for him and carefully adjusted his bed.

After drinking a few sips of water to smooth out his dry throat, Javier Zhong finally spoke to her with a gentle voice, “You have been waiting for me?”

“Mmm… I’m worried about you.”

Seeing their loving interaction, a trace of displeasure flashed past Daniel Yan’s eyes.

Anyone could easily guess what is going on between the two of them!

One is his best friend and the other is the girl he loves…

He really could not bring himself to watch them any longer!

“I’ll make a move first. You guys take care.” Daniel Yan stood up abruptly and walked toward the door without turning back.

“Wait, Daniel! Aren’t you going to cut some fruits for Javier first?” Stephanie Ruan called out to him but he simply left without even bothering to respond to her.

“??…”

“What’s the matter with him today?” She looked at Javier Zhong with knitted eyebrows.

“Maybe he is in a bad mood.” He casually responded.

Well, of course, he is…

And deep down, only Javier Zhong knows exactly why Daniel Yan is behaving like this!

But he is definitely not giving in just because his best friend likes the same girl as him.

“Forget it, I’ll cut the fruits for you then.” Ignoring Daniel Yan’s poor attitude, Stephanie Ruan went ahead to wash the fruits and came back with a fruit knife as well.

And it did not take long for Javier Zhong to notice the untreated wounds on her lower arm.

“What happened to your arm?”

“…”

“Oh, this?? It’s nothing, just got scratched by a tree branch in the forest. I’ll patch it up later.”

Upon hearing that, Javier Zhong immediately threw a death glare at Isaac Wen – who is standing at the side and nervously gulping down his saliva.

“Isaac, is this your first day at work?” Although he spoke in a low voice, Isaac Wen could feel his boss’ cold and chilling tone piercing straight into his bones.

This is it… He is so ‘dead’ right now!!

“Chairman Zhong, I…”

If not for Stephanie Ruan here with them, Javier Zhong would definitely not hold back and throw the bedside lamp directly at Isaac Wen’s face!

Of course, Stephanie Ruan is quick to notice the low temperature in the room and hurriedly stepped in with a calm voice, “Javier, don’t blame Isaac. He did arrange for a doctor to see me.”

“It was me who refused to see the doctor. I was already so anxious, you can’t expect me to still be in the mood to patch up my wounds.” She stated as a matter of fact.

Hearing how she was actually worried about him earlier, Javier Zhong decided not to pursue the matter further.

But his tone towards Isaac Wen still has not improved a bit.

Staring at his ‘good for nothing’ secretary again, Javier Zhong questioned him coldly, “Then what are you waiting for?!”

“Yes, Chairman Zhong! I will go and get the doctor now!” With that, Isaac Wen scurried out of the room.

Seeing how fearful Isaac Wen is of Javier Zhong, Stephanie Ruan could not help but lecture him a little, “Why are you so harsh on him? Don’t forget that he was one of those who saved your life.”

“Mm, okay.”

Indeed, his woman has the biggest say. Anything that she says is always right and he would not want to go against it.

But anyone who knows him well enough would know that he is just putting on an act as a ‘good man’ in front of Stephanie Ruan.

As long as she is not physically by his side, his temper would have no restraints!

In short, you are right to say that only Stephanie Ruan has full control over his bad temper.

…

Looking at the busy figure in front of him, Javier Zhong could not help but ask her, “Stephanie, what if Daniel likes you?”

Upon hearing that, Stephanie Ruan stopped cutting the fruits and met his eyes, “Then should I give him a chance?”

In that instant, she saw that Javier Zhong’s face immediately turned gloomy.

With a chuckle, she brought the plate of nicely cut fruits over and sat on the edge of his bed.

“I’m just teasing you!” Stephanie Ruan playfully pinched the tip of his nose lightly as she said that.

Just as she was about to pick up a slice of apple for him to eat, Javier Zhong took the entire plate from her and put it away on the bedside table.

He then held on to both of her hands and spoke to her with a serious expression, “Stephanie, I did not forget what you said to me earlier.”

“Hmm? What did I say?” Although Stephanie Ruan knew exactly what he is referring to, she refused to admit it.

“You said that you will marry me.”
