He wanted to protect Felicity for the rest of his life.
He couldn't bear to see her all alone in the middle of the night, and her pain was unbeknownst to everyone...
Right this moment, there were sound of footsteps at the door.
William's eyes turned cold. He gently put Felicity down and quickly pulled the needles out of her body. Then he opened the window and jumped out!
Fortunately, her room was on the first floor of the villa. After William jumped out, he looked back at the window reluctantly and strode away.
Felicity, on the other hand, seemed to have had a long dream. It felt calm and tranquil in her dream. The only thing she remembered clearly was with a man with a wounded look in his eyes. She stayed with him for the rest of her life and never left him.
When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn.
There were two people standing in front of her.
One of them was Rebecca Zhang. Looking at the second person, Felicity felt extremely disappointed.
It was Fernando Demi, a man who had been pursuing her for a long time.
It wasn't the person she wanted to see. It wasn't 'him'...
When Rebecca saw Felicity wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a lingering fear, "Felicity, you finally woke up. Did you know that you had a cardiotonic last night? You almost died!"
Felicity nodded, but suddenly she remembered in a daze that there seemed to be a man who saved her...
His hands were very warm...
And yet, his heart was cold...
"Who was it..."
At this time, Rebecca pointed to Fernando and said, "If it weren't for the fact that Fernando and I had something to discuss with you, we wouldn't have known that you were having a cardiotonic!"
"It's all thanks to Fernando, who saved your life by doing acupuncture using his silver needles. You'd better thank him properly!" Rebecca added.
"Fernando? Was it Fernando who saved me last night?" Felicity wondered.
"Then the man in my dream..."
In that moment, Felicity's face turned pallid.
It turned out that it was a dream after all.
When she woke up from her dream, that person had left too...
Fernando looked at the delicate Felicity with a flash of heated desire in his eyes. He said sincerely, "Felicity, do you know that you are seriously ill? If it weren't for your father's concubine and myself coming over last night, the consequences would be unimaginable..."
"Thank you," Felicity squeezed out a smile and thanked him.
At this time, Rebecca took the opportunity to say, "Felicity, don't you understand Fernando's feelings for you? He is your savior now..."
"Mom, I will repay him for saving my life in the future," Felicity said. She was a little morose and could not help interrupting Rebecca.
Rebecca, however, was not reconciled and said, "Well, let's not talk about this for now. By the way, aren't we going to the Genuine Care Medical Center to talk about the deal today? Yesterday, I talked to Fernando, and he immediately promised to help us."
Felicity couldn't help but glance at Fernando.
Fernando smiled and said, "Haha, I have good relations with the Genuine Care Medical Center. The host, Melissa Wang, is my buddy's friend. I've already set up a meeting with them and we can sign the contract in the afternoon."
"Really?" There was a flash of light in Felicity's eyes.
The Bai family's line of work was in the pharmaceutical business. In the early years, many major hospitals and medical centers in Qena City would collaborate with the their family just so they could meet one of the Bai family's beautiful women during their negotiation.
However, since Felicity and William got married, the family's successes had been failing. Their pharmaceutical business had not been prosperous, and their deals with the hospitals and the medical clinics had not been very smooth.
For the collaboration with Genuine Care Medical Center, Felicity had asked a lot of people for favours.
However, that Melissa Wang didn't show any sign as if she could be moved at all.
Felicity didn't expect Fernando to have such powerful connections.
If this negotiation was successful, she would really owe him a big favor.
"Thank you. Thank you for your hard work that afternoon," Felicity said gratefully to Fernando.
Seeing that Felicity's attitude towards him became softened, Fernando felt even more happy.
"Hahaha, there is no woman that I can't get!" He thought arrogantly.
Felicity struggled to get up, but suddenly, she let out a cry.
She took out a silver needle from her underarms!
The first half of this silver needle was scarlet in colour...
"Eh?" Felicity couldn't help but be surprised.
Fernando's eyes narrowed.
He immediately laughed and said, "Ha ha ha, it's my fault for being careless. I was busy healing you last night, that I must have missed pulling out one needle."
After that, he took the silver needle and threw it into the trash can carelessly.
As she looked at Fernando's careless movements, she suddenly had a trace of doubt in Esmeralda.
She politely sent Fernando away and agreed to meet him at the entrance of the Genuine Care Medical Centre at three o'clock in the afternoon.
After they left the room, Felicity struggled to get up, but mysteriously, she looked through the trash can and took out the silver needle that Fernando threw away.
She felt that there was something strange with this silver needle.
"Why did he have such scarlet-tinted silver needles?"
She couldn't think of anything for a moment, but carefully put the silver needle into the bag.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, William appeared in the Genuine Care Medical Center. He stood in front of the entrance and called Melissa on his phone. She said that she would arrive at the clinic soon and asked William to wait for a few minutes.
William had lost his beloved grandfather, plus the divorce with Felicity hit him hard. He seemed to have gone through so much misfortune overnight, to the point his stubble was not shaved, which made him seem completely bedraggled.
He went to the bathroom to tidy up his appearance.
However, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside.
There was also a triumphant voice. "Hahaha, brother, I've got the medicine. Thank you, it's up to you whether you can take down Felicity tonight."
Felicity?
William frowned. When she heard the voice again, he knew that it belonged to Fernando.
Fernando had been chasing after Felicity all these years as if he did not care for William's existence at all.
William knew Fernando's intentions.
"What does this guy want to do to Felicity?"
He stepped into the compartment of the toilet.
Fernando walked into the bathroom and said proudly, "Ha Ha! I heard that Felicity had signed a divorce agreement with her useless husband. Last night, I inexplicably became her lifesaver. Today, I will help her take over the negotiations of the Genuine Care Medical Center. I'll do her such a great favour, she'll throw herself at me!"
"When the time comes, all I need to do is treat her to a candlelight dinner, and then put this into her red wine. She'll have to give in to me. It's said that despite being married to that useless husband for three years, she's still a virgin, hahaha..."
Hearing all of this, William was irritated!
This Fernando!
"How dare he use such a dirty trick against Felicity?"
"Bang!"
The door of the stall burst open in an instant!
Fernando turned around and saw William standing behind him. He was speechless. "William Lu..."
William's face was as cold as ice. He rushed forward and punched him in the face!
Fernando had been indulging in alcohol and women for many years. His wanton lifestyle made him unhealthy and weak. How could he match up against William?
"F*ck! How dare you hit me?" Fernando was enraged. He dropped his phone and hit William!
However, he was extremely cunning. He even secretly slipped the bottle of liquid medicine into William's pocket, while William was beating him up.
William was so angry that he didn't notice it at all.
All of a sudden, Fernando unleashed all his strength. He forcefully pushed William away and ran outside.
William chased after him.
But as soon as they arrived at the hall, William heard a surprised voice coming from behind. "William! Why are you here?"
When William turned around, it turned out to be the pure and beautiful Felicity!
Rebecca was there too.
Fernando rushed to the side of Felicity and said angrily, "Felicity, look, how do you know this piece of garbage? This guy, I don't know how he heard that we are going to come here, but he was hiding in the toilet and then ambushed me!"
Looking at Fernando's swollen nose and face, Felicity had a strange feeling in Esmeralda.
She looked at William.
He looked poor and dishevelled, but his eyes were full of arrogance and recklessness!
Rebecca was furious immediately.
"William! You are worse than a beast! Did you come here to take revenge on Felicity after the divorce? Or did you choose to be here to shame our Bai family so that the Genuine Care Medical Center will look down on us and cancel the deal? You are really wicked!"
Hearing this, Felicity felt even more upset!
"William, are you really such a person?"
"You've disappointed me so much!"
"It's a pity that last night, I thought..." Felicity's mind was in a mess.
Ignoring Rebecca, William rushed straight towards Fernando!
However, he was pulled back!
It was Felicity!
Felicity looked at the irrational William in front of her, and her disappointment was even more intense.
She suddenly raised her hand and slapped William's face!
All the people present were shocked by this sudden act.
William covered his face and looked at Felicity with burning eyes. It seemed like something shattered in his heart!
On the other hand, Felicity's voice choked and her face was full of desperation. "William! Do you know what you are doing? Are you crazy?"
"Well, It was I who wronged you! If you are a man, come and hit me! Why are you beating Fernando up?" she said vehemently.
"He's my savior! Where were you when I was about to die last night? When you were absent, he saved me!"
"I hoped that you were a person full of passion and courage, but it doesn't seem so anymore!"
"You've changed. You've changed so much that I can't believe it! You're horrifying..."
When William heard her pained words, he fell into a state of grief!
"Felicity, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Do you know why I hit Fernando?"
"Do you know who saved you last night?"
"You don't know anything!"
"You don't understand anything, and yet you hit me!" William's heart was in pain as he said these words to himself.
Hehe...
"Who have I been protecting and caring for, for the past ten years?"
It was not a woman, but a poisonous snake who returned kindness with ingratitude!
Seeing William's wounded eyes again, Felicity's heart suddenly softened.
"Did I go too far?"
"That's right. Everyone knows that he loves me..." She thought.
"It was reasonable for him to do anything extreme given I cut off the relationship with him in such a heartless manner..."
"However, I really don't like it when he's like that..."
Fernando, who was standing by, was proudly watching this 'show'. He felt that he ought to score full marks for his ambitious scheme.
But when he saw Felicity's eyes suddenly full of sadness, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
This b*tchy couple still had feelings for each other!
What the f*ck!
"Then, don't fault me for what I'm about to do!" He thought.
"Felicity, today, I'll show you what a heartless wolf has been beside you for the past ten years! Look at what he wants to do to you!" Fernando suddenly rushed to William and took out something from his pocket.
And when Felicity saw the item, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
Her family business was in the pharmaceutical industry. How could she not know what it was!
"William, you b*stard, you've reached such a level!"
"He wanted to do something to me..." She was so disappointed at this revelation.
In the past three years, she had not slept with him in the same room. Unexpectedly, he had so much hatred in his heart!
The way Felicity looked at William had completely changed!
She became vicious and cruel!
She grabbed the vial of liquid and threw it out of the door. Then, she slapped him again!
She slapped William's face!
"Slap!"
"William, from now on, I don't want to see you anymore! Leave!"
There was another slap on his face, which made William wide awake.
All of a sudden, he laughed coldly, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.
"Felicity, if that's you want!"
"Don't forget!"
"It's me, William, who divorced you first! You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
After William finished speaking, he strode outside.
Just after taking two steps, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure appeared in front of the clinic in a hurry.
When Fernando saw her, he immediately became excited. "Look, the spokesperson for the clinic is coming. Let's go, let's hurry up and go!"
Felicity was being dragged forward by Rebecca, as if she had just woken up from a dream. She followed her in a daze.
Passing by William, Rebecca shoved him aside with her body. "Get out of here! Obedient dogs don't block the way!"
Instead, William stopped and did not leave.
Rebecca whispered to Felicity, "Fortunately, Dominick Wang didn't see the farce just now, or it would be really shameful. It's all that b*stards fault! I'll get some people to kill him later!"
In a flash, Fernando and the other two had already stood in front of Melissa. Fernando smiled humbly and stretched out his hand, said, "Dominick Wang, I'm Fernando, I was introduced to you by an acquaintance. I've brought someone from the Bai family to sign a contract with you today. Thank you! You're so busy but..."
However, before he could finish his words, he saw that Melissa walked past him without stopping.
She was walking towards someone else.
She walked up to the sorrowful man and smiled charmingly, like a flower in full bloom.
"Young Master!"
