He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Close Call

“Go, go, go! Hurry up!” An accident had just happened back there. If those guys were bold enough to strike in public, they definitely had more people waiting. They needed to get to safety, fast.

“On it! Our men have been notified.” Bruce gave a quick nod as he sent out a rapid series of alerts.

The driver, who also served as Eugene’s bodyguard, knew his stuff. Their black car shot through the busy city streets, making a beeline for the secure location.

Chloe twisted in her seat to look back. The crowd outside was massive, but no one seemed to have noticed them. The whole incident had gone completely unseen. Every single person was staring at the crashed truck.

These killers were completely ruthless.

Someone had actually planted a sniper in the bustling city center.

The shot came from a perfect position. If it had hit Eugene, it would’ve been a public execution right there on the street. The consequences didn’t bear thinking about.

“Seems you’ve made some real enemies,” Chloe remarked, a sardonic smile directed at the man whose arm was still locked around her waist. “They want you gone, and they’re not playing games. If I get killed because of you, that’s just my bad luck.”

Eugene didn’t explain or argue. He just reached for the first aid kit and pulled out a wad of gauze.

“You’re bleeding. Let me handle that.” His voice was low, his eyes shadowed with something that looked like worry.

Chloe met his look and raised a brow.

Seriously? Is he just oblivious, or that full of himself? Doesn’t he get it? Someone just tried to pick him off with a sniper rifle! He almost died!

“I’m fine.” She grabbed the gauze from him and wiped at her cheek. The white material instantly bloomed crimson.

At the sight of blood, her face tensed.

She was hurt. When that bullet came, she’d wrenched him aside, saving his life. But she’d put herself right in the line of fire.

Just minutes ago, she’d been worried about facing her son’s lecture when she got home. Now? That was the least of her problems. She was on her own with this one.

“Mr. Rosewood, our backup is here,” Bruce cut in.

Eugene looked out the window. Several black SUVS had fallen in around them, sealing off the area. They were completely secure now.

The car didn’t slow.

Chapter 39 Close Call

Finished

Eugene’s phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and let it ring.

“Take us to St. Mary’s Hospital,” he ordered, dismissing the call.

“I don’t need a hospital. I-” Chloe started to argue, but the look he gave her shut her up.

Fine. In her current state, going to the hospital was probably the right move.

St. Mary’s Hospital was the most exclusive private hospital in the city. Its doctors were the best–world- class specialists who outshone everyone else.

Their car pulled straight into the hospital’s private entrance. A medical team was already assembled and waiting the moment they stepped out.

“Director Moses, she’s your priority. No scars.” Eugene’s voice left no room for argument.

“Understood. I’ll see to her personally,” the senior–most doctor responded.

Director?

Chloe’s brow lifted. Well, he’s really something! Even the director of St. Mary’s Hospital listens to him.

“Miss, please follow our staff to the treatment room,” the director, David Moses, said, stepping forward respectfully.

“Alright.” Chloe didn’t argue. She went with them.

She’d saved him, and now he was footing the bill. Fair was fair.
