Chapter 756 Here Comes Veronica (119)
"Are you saying that the person who shot Raymond is not from the Black Snake Gang?"
Lyon shook his head. "I am not sure yet."
Therefore, it was very likely that there were two groups of people chasing after them. One was in the light, the other in the dark.
On the bright one, they would not kill them, but the dark one would kill them at any time.
Perhaps, they should not have gone there today. Otherwise, they would not have been hunted down.
If Raymond wanted to tell her the truth, couldn't he just directly explain it to Veronica?
However, the past was the past. It was useless to say anything now. Veronica could only pray that Raymond was fine.
However, the operation had been too long, so long that Veronica felt that it was as long as a century.
It was almost two o'clock in the morning. The operation lasted more than four hours. However, the operation had not ended. Veronica's body was so cold that she almost had no feeling. However, she still insisted on waiting there. Her gaze never left the door of the emergency room.
Just as Veronica was anxious, the door of the emergency room finally opened.
Veronica hurriedly stood up. However, because her body was too cold and stiff, her knees went soft and she almost fell to the ground. She struggled to stand up with the chair. Then, she rushed to the doctor who came out of the emergency room.
At the same time, Lyon also rushed forward.
"Doctor, how is he? Is he okay?" Veronica asked anxiously. She was anxious to get a positive answer from the doctor. She looked at the doctor with a pleading look in her eyes.
The doctor shook his head in embarrassment. "The bullet is very deep in the patient's body, and ... near the heart. We just took out a part of the bullet fragments, and we have no way to clean the rest.' There was no way to clean it up!
When Veronica heard this, her heart collapsed. Her legs went weak and she sat on the ground, looking at the ground without any focus in her eyes.
"How... How could this be?" Veronica held the doctor's trousers tightly with both hands and raised her head to say loudly, "Doctor, aren't you a doctor? You must have a way to save him, right?"
The doctor helped Veronica up with Lyon. The doctor sighed and said, "I also want to save him, but some of those fragments pierced through his heart. With our technology, we can't do anything. Otherwise, he might be in danger at any time!"
When Veronica heard the words "in danger", the reason she maintained disappeared. "No, doctor, you are a doctor. You are a doctor who helps the dead and the wounded. He is the president of the Cordova Group. He is carrying such a big group alone. He can't have any accidents. Doctor, please, save him."
When the doctor learned of the patient's identity, he was surprised but still could not help. "But we really tried our best."
He did try his best!
These words were often said by doctors on TV dramas when they left the operating room. This sentence was fatal to the family members waiting outside the operating room. Veronica was even more impacted to the point that her body trembled violently.
"No, no, doctor, you can try again. You can definitely save him!" Veronica pleaded in a low voice, her voice trembling. Her fingers were tightly clutching the doctor's white sleeves as if she was grasping at a life- saving straw.
The doctor looked at Veronica, who had been entangled, and did not know what to say.
Not far away, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
The sound came from far to near, and it was coming toward the emergency room. Lyon turned back to look in the direction where those people came from. When a white-haired old man appeared in the corner, Lyon's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ms. Luke, Mr. Cordova is saved!"
Raymond was saved?
Veronica looked in the direction of Lyon's gaze and was confused. She saw eight people walking over. The white-haired old man in the lead looked to be in his eighties, but his steps were steady. The people behind him were albdressed in army uniforms, and they followed the old man in unison.

When those people arrived in front of the emergency room, Lyon immediately greeted them without delay and respectfully called out, "General Hemming!"
"Where's Raymond?" The old man glanced at Lyon. His voice was bright, and his wrinkled face could not hide his imposing manner.
Lyon immediately replied, "He's still in the emergency room, but... The doctor said that there are still bullet fragments in his heart that have yet to be taken out..."
"A bunch of trash!" The old man shouted at the doctor outside the emergency room, "In this hospital, there are a bunch of idiots!"
The doctor was scolded but did not say a word. In addition, the other party was an old man. He was even more speechless and could only let the old man scold him. "General Hemming, Mr. Cordova..."
The old man didn't even turn his head and said coldly, "Bring him out of the operation room."
The soldiers behind him entered the operating room and pushed Raymond, who had just finished the operation and was still unconscious, out.
Veronica was unclear about the situation and took a big stride forward to stop them.
The soldiers were well-trained. When two soldiers saw Veronica blocking them, they immediately came forward to stop her.
She stood in front of the bed and looked at them as if she was facing great enemies. "You can't take him away!"
The old man standing at the side sized Veronica up and down.
"I will take my great-grandson away. I don't need anyone's approval!" The old man said in a rude tone, "Who are you?" Great-grandson?
Could it be...
Lyon quickly stepped forward and reminded Veronica in a low voice, "Ms. Luke, this is General Hemming, Mr. Cordova's great-grandfather."
Raymond's great-grandfather!
Veronica looked a little panicked. He was Raymond's great-grandfather. Taking Raymond away was a matter of course, and she had no right to stop him. Then, Veronica retreated step by step and watched as the soldiers pushed Raymond's bed away.
The old man followed behind. Before he left, he sized up Veronica, but his gaze was exquisite and reserved. Then, he left without looking back.
Veronica wanted to chase after him, but she was too weak to move her legs as if they were filled with sand.
When Raymond's great-grandfather left with Raymond, Lyon was also prepared to leave.
Seeing that Veronica was still in a daze, Lyon thought for a moment before turning back to tell Veronica, "Ms. Luke, don't worry. If Mr. Cordova is taken away by General Hemming, he will be saved." "Oh, okay." Veronica nodded.
Later, Veronica did not know how she had left the hospital.
By the time she came back to her senses, Veronica had already returned to the villa. The butler and Marie had been on vacation. They were not in the villa. The entire villa was dark, cold, and empty.
Veronica did not turn on the lights or change her shoes. She went straight© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
to the master bedroom on the
second floor. When she arrived at the bedside, she took off her shoes and lay down. She looked up at the ceiling above her.
The images of Raymond covered in blood appeared in her mind.
