Chapter 156
Finally, the door to the ICU opened, and a doctor and a team of nurses stepped out with exhaustion written on their faces.
Three hours. They had spent three hours in operation. And intook everything in Noah not to break down those doors in
those hours.
As soon as he spotted the doctor, Noah was on his feet in an instant, his voice laced with desperation. “How is she?”
“And who might you be?” The doctor asked, trying to keep his composure at the amount of imposing men in the corridor.
Noah’s men who came with him were loitering around like guard dogs, each of them more menacing than the other. Noah’s men were the definition of imposing-muscular, dangerous, and unapologetic. Even the nurses who passed through the hallway shivered in fear yet still couldn’t help stealing flirtatious glances at them
“I am her husband,” Noah roared. “Now tell me how the hell she’s doing before I burn this hospital to the ground.” He said. His men, at his slightest cue, advanced, their movements precise and threatening.
The doctor gulped. He sensed the power radiating from Noah and he knew… he knew Noah could make good of his threat “S-She is fine. The surgery was successful. There is no need to burn anything” he stuttered with a nervous laugh.
“She lost some blood so she needs rest. She’s been taken to the recovery room. A nurse will take you to her. He concluded. trying to hide his fear.
Noah didn’t spare him another glance as he beckoned for the nurse to start moving. Only lan threw the doctor a quick thank you before following them. As the hallway cleared out, the young doctor released a breath he didn’t know he had been holding
Noah stalked toward Felicity’s room and ordered his men to guard the perimeter. He didn’t trust the hospital’s security, and the last thing he wanted was for K’s men to waltz in and finish the job they already started.
If not for Felicity, Axel would have been gravely injured, or worse.. dead. Either way, those b***ds j**ust signed their death certificate because he was hunting every one of them down.
Felicity slept soundly in her room. The room was quiet, only the soft beeping of her heart monitor was heard. Noah had never seen her that quiet. He didn’t like it.
“One at a time.” The nurse instructed as Noah opened the door to her room.
Before Noah went in, he shot an icy glare at the nurse. “Make sure a word of what happened here today doesn’t leave this hospital. Turning to lan, “Anybody that talks, cut out their tongue.
The nurse squeaked in horror before nodding, her voice quivering. “We won’t say anything, we promise.”
The nurse gazed at Noah as if he were a monster before scurrying off. Noah remained unperturbed. For Felicity’s safety, he could turn into anything, even the devil.
There was no doubt the nurses and doctors had recognized Felicity. What Noah didn’t need was the press hearing any of this and start prying. He knew the press would jump on a story like this-a famous socialite shot? A gunshot wound raised questions questions they couldn’t answer.
It was best to protect her identity and reputation
Ian nodded at some men and they followed the nurse to ensure that their message was well passed to everyone who had seen Felicity.
Noah entered the room, shutting the door behind him. An oxygen mask was over Felicity’s beauntul face and her skin was very pale. Her left hand rested in a sling because of the damage the bullet did to her collarbone.

Chapter 156
Noah brought her other hand to his lips, stroking her hair gently off her face, a tenderness at odds with the vicious anger brewing inside him.
“Ill find the men who did this to you. Felicity,” He said quietly as though speaking to himself. “Tll make sure they die
His green eyes trembled, gazing at her pale face. “I should have protected you.” He muttered, his eyes filled with so much pain that made his heart ache.
He couldn’t count the number of times he had failed her and that alone made him want to rip his heart out. Marrying her was supposed to save her from K. but it had done the opposite. He shouldn’t have dragged her into his world of darkness.
What kind of husband was he? He promised to protect her yet he let her down every single time. Now he had dragged her into his dirty life, soiled her, and endangered her. He had made her a walking target to his enemies
It was all his fault.
“It wasn’t your fault.”
“Fuck off, lan Noah snapped at his best friend without looking up from Felicity’s face.
Land
Ian didn’t leave like he was told, and instead, placed a comforting hand on Noah’s shoulder. He repeated, “It’s not your fault.”
Noah let out a dry laugh. “Then whose fault is it then? If she didn’t know me, none of this would have happened. She’s been hurt over and over again because of my selfishness.”
“You’re not selfish. Everyone has the right to love,” Axel answered, standing close to Felicity’s bed. “It’s okay to not want to let go of it,”
Noah hadn’t heard them come in and he frowned. “Didn’t the nurse say one
ay one at a time? Why are you guys here?”
Ian and Axel shared a glance before reporting. “We just received news that one of the shooters was caught. He’s in our custody.”
“And the other?”
“Escaped,” Axel answered, gritting his teeth. “But I’m gonna find him”
Noah let out a sharp breath. “I don’t want you to find him. I want you to find every one of K’s men in this bloody country and give them hell I want to put a bullet through K’s heart after stripping his face from his skull.”
Axel’s eyes hardened. “Noted.”
“As for the one we caught,” Noah continued, “I’ll deal with him personally after Felicity wakes up. I’m going to make sure he regrets ever firing that gun at you.”
“I’m sorry” Axel apologised again.
Noah shook his head. “It’s not your fault. Sorry, I blew off on you earlier.” He said. “And Fm glad you are alright.”
A small smile tugged lan’s lips as the two of them reconciled. He asked, “Should I inform Connor Orion? Someone needs to manage the company while she recuperates.”
Noah closed his eyes, pinching his nose bridge in frustration. He had forgotten about that How was he supposed to explain
divorce his daughter now? this to Connor? Would his father-in-law demand b
“Tell him the truth, I guess, We can’t start a relationship based on lies.” Noah muttered and immediately felt like a hypocrite. Wasn’t his marriage already built on lies?
