His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1211 Lose Consciousness

Nick started to lose consciousness. When he thought he might die there, he heard quick footsteps

approaching him.

Trying to pull himself together, he blinked his eyes and looked towards the direction of the noise.

It was Nick's assistant Bob Liu. When he had gotten the call from his boss, he hurried out of his house

and took a taxi to the company. As soon as he had gotten out of the cab, he ran to the underground

parking. As he approached Nick's car, he caught sight of his boss curled up on the floor.

Bob felt sorry for the young man. Yesterday, he had advised Nick to pay attention to his health and get Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

some rest. Yet, his boss clearly hadn't followed his suggestion.

Bob Liu thought back to earlier that day. Before getting off work, he entered Nick's office and asked him

whether he needed him to work overtime. His boss told him to go home to spend more time with his

wife and child because he had been working extra hours for several days now.

Nick had always been nice to others but strict with himself.

As he thought of that, Bob Liu's nose twitched and tears were built up in his eyes.

"Are you okay, Mr. Ge?" the assistant inquired. He helped the young lad up, opened the door and

settled him in the back seat.

"Bob, please take me to the hospital. My stomach really hurts..." Nick's voice trailed off as he continued

to pant.

Upon hearing this, the assistant flew into a panic.

Nick had just gone through cardiac surgery, so Bob Liu was immediately concerned when he

mentioned having pain. 'Would he get through this?' he thought to himself.

Without saying anything, Bob Liu jumped into the driver's seat and drove out of the underground

parking lot.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when they finally arrived at the hospital.

Stopping the car, Bob Liu opened the car door and helped Nick walk into the hospital.

When a doctor on duty saw the pair, he instructed paramedics to take Nick to the emergency room.

The door closed behind Nick and the paramedics, leaving Bob Liu alone. Fixing his eyes on the door

anxiously, he prayed for Nick.

Half an hour later, the paramedics emerged through the door, pushing Nick on a stretcher.

Bob Liu ran to Nick's side, looking him over. 'He looks pale, but at least his eyes are open. I'm glad to

see that, ' Bob Liu thought.

"How is he, sir?" Bob Liu asked the physician on duty.

"The patient is stable and out of danger. Fortunately, you brought him here right away. He just had an

operation, so he's pretty weak, and needs to get some rest," the doctor explained calmly. Adjusting his

glasses, the doctor sighed and added, "If he doesn't take care of his health, he will likely get worse."

Hearing this, Bob Liu looked worriedly down at Nick. 'He must've heard what the doctor said. I hope he

takes the doctor's advice and takes time to recover, ' he mused.

Bob Liu thanked the doctor, and helped the paramedics push his boss on a stretcher toward his ward.

It was 5:30 in the morning when they finally got to the room.

Streaks of early sunlight slanted through the windows in the ward. Now that he knew Nick was out of

danger, Bob Liu's mind was finally at ease. In fact, he was quite drowsy.

Looking over at his boss, Bob Liu noticed that he was sound asleep. So he put his arms on the edge of

the bed, rested his head on them and quickly dozed off.

In his dream, Bob Liu heard someone calling his name. Disoriented, he opened his eyes and found

Nick looking at him.

Bob Liu quickly sat up straight, rubbed his eyes and said, "Good morning, Mr. Ge."

"Bob, go home and get some rest," Nick said weakly, noticing the heavy bags under Bob's eyes. He

was extremely grateful that he had brought him to the hospital.

Bob Liu agreed, but then something dawned on him. With a frown, he asked, "Who will take care of you

after I leave?"

"Don't worry. I talked to a nurse who said someone would come by to attend to me. You can go home

and get some sleep. I'll call you in the afternoon if I need anything," he replied with a slight smile.

"Mr. Ge," Bob Liu said hesitantly. After a short pause, he blurted out his thoughts, "Please take good

care of yourself and don't bury yourself in work without taking a break. You should take the doctor's

advice. The better you get, the better our company will be under your leadership."

"I know. Thank you, Bob. I have learned my lesson," Nick responded as he flashed his assistant a

warm smile. "I'll be fine and will look after myself. Thank you for taking me to the hospital. You must be

very tired. Please go home and get some rest."

Bob Liu nodded at his boss and headed for the door.

Watching his assistant leave the ward, Nick frowned.

He had almost died yesterday and had learnt an important lesson: cherish life. When you were alive,

everything was possible. But, if you lost your life, you could never achieve your dreams or goals.

So, Nick decided to leave his work aside for now and get some more rest. He was sure that he could

do his job better after he fully recovered.

In the following days, Nick basically had the same schedule. Apart from sleeping in the ward, he went

to the garden to take a walk and chat with his fellow patients.

Although he led a monotonous life, he didn't think of it as dull. On the contrary, he enjoyed living such a

simple, tranquil life.

On one particular day, Nick ran into Sheryl as he was strolling through the garden.

Sheryl was quite surprised at the sight of Nick.

She had come to buy some medicine for a cold and didn't expect to encounter Nick in the hospital

again. 'It has only been a few days since Nick was discharged. Why is he here?' she wondered.

"What's going on with you, Nick?" Sheryl inquired as she paused.

Sensing the surprised look in her eyes, Nick walked up to her with a bright smile and said, "What a

coincidence! We meet again."

"What's the matter with you? Are you experiencing side effects from the surgery?" she asked with a

worried look.

"No," Nick replied, shaking his head. With a bitter smile, he said honestly, "It's truly all my fault."

"What? What do you mean?" Sheryl asked, more perplexed.

Nick led Sheryl to a stone bench by the edge of the flower bed. After they sat down, Nick fixed his eyes

on Sheryl, and began to share what had happened to him.

He had no intention of keeping her in the dark. After all, she had saved his life and he had developed

some feelings for her. No matter how deeply he adored her, he knew he had to keep it to himself. It

wasn't only because she was married, but he had nothing. He wasn't ready to be in a relationship with

anyone.

Since she hadn't been to her office, Sheryl was in her causal attire. Her white T-shirt was tucked into

her jeans and her hair was in a high pony-tail, making her look younger, energetic, and very attractive.
