Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
‘Let’s see who’s awkward now!’ she thought to herself.
After all, it wasn’t a huge matter since she could take it off afterward.
Halston gracefully held her hand and gently slipped it on her finger. The sight was romantic as if it were from a movie.
It was also at this moment that Flossie’s sharp gaze noticed something odd about the presenter holding the display box.
“Watch out!”
Flossie pulled Halston behind her without hesitation as she saw the woman pulling a tiny revolver from her gown. Her movements were quick, and she knocked the gun off the woman’s hand with a kick.
But even so, she wasn’t as quick as a bullet.
Bang!
Flossie’s arm was shot, and blood poured out of her wound.
“Ahhhh! Murder!”
The scene turned chaotic as people were running everywhere.
“How dare you ruin my plan!”
The lady kicked to the ground and spoke in a man’s voice. When he glared at Flossie, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he whipped out another gun.
“Halston, you’ll die here today! This is the end for the Guajardo family!”
At the same moment, the other three hosts charged at them with fury. The situation was dire!
“You should go now. They’re here for you!” Flossie shielded Halston behind her as she urged him coldly.
“You’re hurt!” Halston exclaimed, remaining still.
His whole attention was fixed on the gushing wound on her arm. The crimson-flowing blood was the same as what had flowed from Tristan’s chest three months ago!
Halston was instantly repulsed, and his head began to spin before he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
He heard more gunshots, and a bullet seemed to strike Flossie again in his foggy vision.
“Flossie!”
He struggled to get up, but eventually, his vision turned dark, and he lost all consciousness.
When Halston woke up, he realized he was lying on the hospital bed. The nurse came in and was glad to see him awake. “Mr. Guajardo, you’re finally awake. You’ve been in a coma for an entire day.”
“An entire day?”
‘Shit!’ he cursed inwardly.
His blood phobia was getting so serious that he kept fainting at critical times. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was Flossie getting shot. At the thought of this, his heart tightened.
He grabbed the nurse’s arm and asked coldly, “How’s she? Is she okay?”
Halston’s sudden movement caught the nurse off guard. “You mean Mrs. Guajardo? She only needed a slight patching up. She left after bringing you here yesterday,” she said cautiously.
“A slight patching up?”
When he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that her injuries weren’t as serious as he had imagined them to be.
“Yes. after she was done, she left with Mr. Osborne,” the nurse added.
“She left with Liam?!” When Halston heard this, he instantly asked to complete the checkout procedure.
Ding Dong!
Flossie had just boiled her noodles when she heard the doorbell rung. )
She furrowed her eyebrows and thought, ‘Liam is such an annoying man. I just sent him away, and he’s back again. It’s just a slight graze and not that big of a deal! Is it that hard to ask for some time alone?’
She panicked as she opened the door and found Halston waiting outside.
“W-why are you here?”
‘Shouldn’t he be in the hospital? I heard that he has a serious issue of blood phobia!’ she thought to herself.
“Are you alone?”
Halston didn’t answer her question but questioned her instead. His sharp gaze swept over Flossie’s head as he observed the room as if he was here to catch the mistress.
“That has nothing to do with you.”
“What do you mean nothing? Even if we’re not husband and wife, we’re still neighbors. It’s not wrong for me to care for my neighbor.” As he spoke, he pushed past her and entered her house.
Flossie was left speechless. She wondered why she had never noticed how shameless he was before this.
‘When I was his wife, he had never cared for me. Now he’s showing so much concern for me as a neighbor?”
After Halston had checked every corner of her house and was sure only she was home, his cold face began to show warmth.
“You’re only eating this for dinner?”
When he saw the instant noodle cup on the table, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Yes. My hand is hurt, so I can’t cook, and the food outside isn’t clean.”
Her instant noodle was imported and of great quality and nutritional value.
“You’re so lazy!”
Although complaining, he walked to the kitchen and began looking for ingredients. Her refrigerator had few ingredients, but he made three dishes and a soup for her.
“I didn’t know that you could cook.”
