Marriage Contract: Love Game With CEO

A long silence fell on the ward, and only the air-conditioning's slight rumbling could be heard. In addition to the smell of the disinfectant, a faint fragrance of flowers whiffed in the air.

The morning sunshine penetrated through the drapes, casting bright light in the room. Mary felt her eyelids warm up with the sun rays while her body seemed to be less painful than last night.

Feeling good, she tried to roll her eyes while voluntarily moving her fingers. And as her lids folded open, the dazzling sunlight tickled her tear gland, making her very uncomfortable. It was not until she raised her hand to block the sunshine that Mary realized she still had an infusion.

"Mommy, you are awake!" In the silence, a crisp voice suddenly penetrated her ears.

It was Alick's voice! There was no mistaking it.

So as soon as she heard this, Mary turned her head and saw the little boy lying on the edge of the bed, staring at her with tears in his eyes.

"Alick..." Mary called her son with a hoarse voice, raising her hand and lovingly caressing Alick's head.

"Mommy, would you like some water?" the young boy asked, sniffing to hold back his tears. He didn’t want to worry his mother.

Mary nodded and sat up with her son’s help.

The little boy took the cup, poured water, and tested its temperature before carefully handing it to her.

The moment Mary took a gulp, a trace of coolness swept across her throat, making her drink several more mouthfuls to quench her dry throat.

"Mommy, take it easy."

"Yeah, alright, honey," Mary answered, smiling warmly at her son.

And while the two enjoyed each other’s company, the door suddenly clicked open, revealing Victor walking in with Elissa in his arms. Behind him were Lucas, Archer, Ena, and the others.

"Mommy!"

"Mary, you’re awake!"

"Doctor! Doctor! The patient is awake!" Ena called frantically.

Meanwhile, Elissa couldn't wait to rush over, so the little girl struggled from Victor's arms and ran towards her mother excitingly.

"I'll take you back to the ward."

"No! Don't!" On reflex, she immediately grabbed his clothes to stop him "I want to stay here with him! I won't leave!" she insisted, trying her best to make herself look strong and able.

Meanwhile, the doctors who rushed in William’s ward all bore grim expressions, and their voices were unprecedentedly solemn.

"Prepare for an electric shock!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One! Again!"

Leaning against the glass window, Mary silently prayed as she watched the nurses and doctors surrounding William and trying to revive him. Through the gap between them, she could only see the unconscious William. And that scene broke her heart to a million pieces.

'Hang on, William! You can't leave me like this! If something happens to you, I wouldn’t know what to do! I'd rather die than spend the rest of my life without you.'

Mary burst into tears, not minding how she might have looked at that moment. If it weren't for Victor, she would have already fallen on the floor.

Fortunately, she was not alone at that time. The rest of their friends also silently watched through the window in utter horror. All of them held their breath, and every second of waiting seemed forever.

Five minutes had passed, and all the medical professionals who came to William's aid seemed like they had just gone through a fierce war.

As soon as the doctors came out, all those waiting outside circled them, eager to know William's state.

"How is he now? Is he okay?"

"Is my son okay?"

"How is William?"

A doctor took off his mask, wiped the sweat on his forehead before answering, "He's fine now."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief while most of them had their hands up against their chests.

Even Mary, who was just feeling defeated, seemed to have regained all her energy.

"Would it happen to him again?" Lucas asked in a calm yet serious tone.

"We are not sure." The head doctor answered, "We can only observe the patient again. He is, after all, severely injured."
