The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 303: Chapter 303 I, Marry You! _1

How can I escape?

He holds my life in his hands!

Hai Xiaotang scoffed, “So, you’re seizing the opportunity at hand?”

Dongfang Yu’s mouth formed an audacious grin, “Exactly! So, what’s your choice?”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t answer. She pulled away from his grasp, without saying a word, and turned to leave.

Dongfang Yu’s gaze flickered for a moment, but he didn’t ask her further. He followed her back to the door of the emergency room.

Seeing Hai Xiaotang return, Hai Rong and Zhan Yu were momentarily surprised and annoyed.

But, the sight of Dongfang Yu following behind her left them stunned.

The two exchanged a look, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.

It seemed there was hope to save the old master yet…

Hai Xiaotang stood outside the operating room, her gaze unwaveringly affixed to the inside as she waited anxiously.

No one disturbed her. Everyone quietly waited for the result of the surgery.

Each passing minute felt like torture for Hai Xiaotang…

It was the same for Dongfang Yu.

He knew if Hai Zhiyuan couldn’t pull through this, he and Hai Xiaotang would have no future together.

Therefore, he was hoping for things to work out.

Similarly, Hai Rong and Zhan Yu were also on tenterhooks. If the old man were to pass away, the Hai family would be doomed…

In the midst of everyone’s eager anticipation.

The grueling three-hour surgery was finally over!

At the moment the operating room door swung open, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat!

A doctor was the first to emerge, followed by several medical staff wheeling out Hai Zhiyuan.

“Grandpa–” Hai Xiaotang rushed forward immediately!

With Hai Zhiyuan unconscious, it was hard to gauge his condition. Trembling, Hai Xiaotang asked the doctor, “Doctor, how’s my grandpa?”

The doctor removed his mask and smiled, “Don’t worry, the patient pulled through. His heart condition is not severe. With proper care and rest, there won’t be much of a problem.”

Hai Xiaotang burst into laughter, her tears of relief mixing with her first genuine smile in a long time.

Watching her laugh, Dongfang Yu’s deep gaze was momentarily lost.

…

Hai Zhiyuan was moved to a room.

Outside the door, two police officers stood guard.

Yes, he was technically still a criminal. Regardless of his illness…

Once he recovered, the trial would continue, as would his sentence.

Holding onto her grandpa’s hand, Hai Xiaotang looked at his silver hair and aged face, her heart aching.

The old man who raised and lavished her with every affection and care, truly grew old.

He didn’t have much time left.

But she hadn’t even had the opportunity to repay his kindness properly.

She was always spoiled and indulged by his affection, never thinking about cherishing and reciprocating it.

Even though she was innocent and clueless, causing troubles she shouldn’t have, he still loved her, always trying to protect her.

So now, it was her turn to protect him.

No matter what he did or who he was, to her, he was her only grandpa, relative, and the one who treated her best!

As long as her grandpa was fine, she didn’t care about anything else!

All she wanted was for him to live out his remaining years in peace…

Hai Xiaotang let go of her grandpa’s hand and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Dongfang Yu’s tall figure stood still, his deep gaze fixed on Hai Xiaotang’s departing figure, his attention taut.

He knew that Hai Xiaotang was coming to give him her answer.

“Dongfang Yu.” Hai Xiaotang’s eyes were clear and resolute, she said firmly and distinctly, “I accept your proposal. I will marry you!”
