Contract Marriage; Fated Love

The car crashed into them from the left and Liam was sitting by that left door. The car somersaulted twice and ran into a pole. Both drivers were at high speed when the accident occurred. The occupant of the other car was just one person and it was the driver of the car. The driver died on the spot. It was a different story in Noah’s car. His driver was badly injured. Gu Yanxi too was injured and she was bleeding but Liam was unscratched. Noah covered Liam with his body and sustained serious injuries. Noah was bleeding seriously and his condition was fatal. The chances of his survival were thin.

The road officials hurried to their rescue. Noah coughed out a mouthful of blood for the second time. Liam held him in fright and wept.

“Mister Noah…”

With the last strength in him, he beckoned to Gu Yanxi.

“Please, take care of Liam. Tell Emily that he’s my biological son.”

He coughed again and passed out.

Gu Yanxi took the news in shock. He was Liam’s biological father?

The accident victims were rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Emily was notified and she rushed to see them at the hospital.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Liam, who wasn’t hurt, was crying for his ‘mister Noah’ and Gu Yanxi. What he didn’t know was that Noah put his life on the line to save him because he was his son and heir.

Emily sent Liam away to his nanny. She comforted Gu Yanxi who couldn’t be consoled. Her only brother, whom she was just getting to know, lay almost lifeless in the surgery room. The doctors battled to save his life. He gave up his life to save his only son.

After a long time, there was a ray of hope. The doctors finally succeeded. He was alive but he was in a coma.

When Gu Yanxi got a bit stronger, she went with Emily to see him. Tears fell down her face when she saw him in a sorry state. Tubes were fixed into his nose and he was on oxygen. In fact, he looked lifeless.

Emily too was shocked. How come he was badly hurt unlike the others?

“He got hurt saving Liam.”

“Saving Liam? What do you mean?”

“The car approached from the left turn and Liam was sitting by the door. He protected your son and sustained these injuries.

Emily’s heart melted. The love of a mother. He risked his life for her son. She would have been the one crying because there was no way a child of only five years would survive that serious injury.

She resolved within her to take good care of him.

“Emily,” Gu Yanxi called softly.

Emily turned to her, too sad to utter a word.

“He saved your son because he is his father.”

“His father? What father?”

“Noah asked me to tell you that he’s Liam’s biological father.”

“You mean he was the man from five years ago? How did you know? How sure is he that Liam is his son? He was outside when that incident occurred. It can’t be him.”

The doctor entered at that time.

“Will he be alright, doctor?” Gu Yanxi asked nervously.

“We just need to hope. The accident was fatal. He only got to this point luckily.”

The road officials checked the cameras. It happened that the other car failed brakes and ran into President Noah’s car. It occurred at a T-junction. It wasn’t a planned accident. It was simply an unexpected event.

Joshua Harper learnt of the incident and he rushed to the hospital. He employed more nurses to take good care of his son and urged the doctors and nurses in the hospital to do their best.

Emily and Gu Yanxi weren’t left out. They took it upon themselves to look after him in the hospital. Liam asked after Mister Noah everyday.

“Mummy, he put his life on the line to save me. He covered me and nothing happened to me. Will he be alive?”

Emily kept assuring him that Noah was fine. She didn’t want to break his tender heart by telling him that the man in question was in a coma.

She took care of Gu Yanxi and Noah while they were in the hospital. Three days later, Gu Yanxi recovered fully and they looked after Noah together.

The holiday was over now but Emily couldn’t go back. Liam also refused to return without seeing Noah in good and sound health.

On the sixth day, Emily was alone in the hospital room when his hands moved. His eye lids trembled and he finally opened his eyes. She ran off and called the doctor.

“President Noah? I’m so happy that you have woken up.”

“Huh? Who are you?”

Emily was amazed. Did he just ask who she was?

“It’s me. Emily.”

“I don’t know you. You should leave”

Emily left in worry and notified the doctors. They ran a check and unfortunately, he had lost his memory. He didn’t recognize anyone!

Gu Yanxi came to see him later in the day. She was very glad that her brother was saved from the cold hands of death. It was still the same story. He didn’t recognize her. He had recovered, but he had amnesia. He only remembered from a certain period of time and Gu Yanxi and Emily weren’t part of his life at the time.

Only the nurses and his dad looked after him. He didn’t want to see anyone he didn’t know. Emily and Gu Yanxi wept but stayed by his side regardless.

A week went past in a flash yet there was no improvement. According to the doctors, his amnesia would linger for a long time. Part of his brain was damaged from the accident.

Somehow, the news of his accident came to the hearing of Grace Shields. She was devastated. She made necessary arrangements and travelled to see him. Mr Joshua recognized her and hurriedly granted her access to his room. He informed her about his illness and he hoped she would help him regain his memory. When she heard of his amnesia, she knew he would soon be hers. She concealed a smile and opened the door.
