"Ray!"
Selah shouted as she stumbled over from the end of the corridor. She held her son in her arms and said, "Ray, I'm here. Mommy is here. Don't run around!"
"Mr. Gu," said Jaime as he followed her. Seeing the blood oozing from Barry's abdomen, he shouted, "The wound is bleeding. Hurry up! Call a doctor! Quick!"
Selah was also frightened when she heard it. She then noticed that it was Barry who was sitting on the wheelchair.
Barry's face was pale. He was frowning and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Doctors and nurses rushed over. Together, they pushed Barry back to the operating room.
"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry." Selah's lips trembled. She took a few steps, but Ray held her hand and stopped her.
"Mommy," Ray called out in a trembling voice. Through the gauze, he could only see things vaguely. "Did I do something wrong? Did I hit someone?" "Ray, my good boy," said Selah, who squatted down and touched Ray's face lovingly. "You ran into an uncle just now. But it doesn't matter. Ray didn't mean to do that. Mommy will take you to apologize to him. I don't think the uncle would blame you."
"Mommy, I'm sorry." Ray hugged Selah at once. "Good boy."
"Selah," Jaime, with a serious look on his face, pulled her up and reminded, "we should go now.
"But—" Selah was about to argue, but she saw that some relatives of the patients around her were pointing at her. They seemed to have recognized her.
"We should leave now," Jaime repeated.
"Mommy, please don't go!" Ray pulled Selah and begged in a sobbing voice, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much, Mommy!"
Selah felt sad. She hadn't seen Ray since he was transferred to this hospital, but...
"Ray, I have to go to work and make money," said Selah. "I will come back to see you tonight. Be a good boy, okay? I promise you, Ray."
Ray reluctantly reached out his hand and held Selah's. "Mom, I won't sleep until you come."
"Okay." "Mom, don't work too hard."
"Okay."
After a short while, the mother and the son bade goodbye to each other.
Walking out of the hospital, Selah suddenly screamed, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu is still in surgery. What should I do? Ah!"
"Selah, you have to react faster next time," Jaime teased her. "I already told the nurse that we'll come see Mr. Gu when he wakes up. We don't have time to keep him company right now.
"Okay. I understand." Selah nodded, but deep inside, she thought she was doomed.
'You left your son and a man you could not mess with in the same hospital. Selah, what should you do?' Selah thought to herself while biting her lips.
A week after the release of "Be Together", the box office had already exceeded 200 million. Although there were mixed praises and reviews from different audiences, it was undeniable that the movie was success.
Mary was overjoyed. As a result, she promised to invite everyone to dinner.
Now, both employees from AJ Group and GM Universing Studios were all waiting for her eagerly. Mary did not know what to do at first. She thought for a long time before holding the celebration party. Her team worked hard to print and send the party invitations. Everything was well-prepared. Nothing could go wrong.
In the CEO's office of AJ Group, William looked at the invitation and burst into laughter.
"Mr. Lan, what... what's wrong?" asked Virgil curiously.
