Love Contract novel Chapter 349

"He'll be fine. Don't worry, Ena," comforted Mary. "Believe me. He'll be fine. He's been through a lot and I'm sure he'll survive this."

"Mary," William returned after inquiring about the situation and reported, "apparently, he fell down from above while doing a stunt. There were no other things on the ground, so I don't think his life is in danger."

"That's good then." Mary nodded in relief.

"Mr. Lan."

Suddenly, Elliana's voice came from behind. Mary, William, and Ena all turned around.

When Ena saw Elliana, she immediately held back her tears. Like a little gamecock ready to fight with others, she seemed so valiant and imposing.

"Elliana." William glanced at her slightly and asked, "How are you?"

'Tm fine." Elliana shook her head and continued, "I was just a little scared because of the accident, but I didn't get hurt. Fortunately, I was saved by Victor."

"Good to hear." William nodded slightly.

"I want to stay here and wait for Victor until his operation is done. Is that okay?" Elliana added.

"Mary..." Upon hearing this, Ena immediately pulled Mary's sleeves and acted like a spoiled child.

Mary and William looked at each other. Before they could say anything, the door of the operation room was pushed open.

Ena immediately rushed up and grabbed the doctor's sleeve. "How did it go, doctor? Is Victor okay now?"

"Unfortunately, two of the bones on his left foot were fractured. His left hand and right knee were injured as well. The blood that came out of his back was because of the steel wire which scratched his skin. He was seriously injured, but it's not life-threatening. He needs to stay in the hospital for observation after the operation."

With that, the doctor nodded and left.

After a while, Victor was wheeled out of the operating room. Except for his sallow face, he looked energetic for an injured person.

"Victor, are you okay?" Ena rushed to his side.

"I'm fine." With a smile on his face, Victor looked at both Mary and William and nodded slightly. "Hi, Mary and William."

"Hello, Victor," greeted Mary. "Ena called me while crying loudly, and it scared me. Fortunately, you're fine."

Victor glanced at Ena and said nothing.

"Victor..." Elliana called him in a low voice.

He turned around and asked indifferently, "How are you? Were you hurt?"

'Tm fine. In fact, I'm feeling well. Thanks to you I was unharmed, not even a single scratch." Remembering what he had just done, Elliana felt moved. "Thank you for saving my life."

"It's nothing. I just reacted on instinct. There's nothing to thank me about." "But for me, it's a big deal. You saved my life," Elliana said firmly, saying her thoughts out loud.

Victor laughed but did not say anything more.

The shooting for the film was suspended as he stayed in the hospital.

The next day, media had started to report about the accident. Victor had become the embodiment of a perfect man in the eyes of every young girl. A group of fans stood at the gate of the hospital and spontaneously prayed for his speedy recovery.

"Yesterday, as Victor was hanging on the stunt wire for a scene, he accidentally fell to the ground, causing multiple fractures and injuries on his body. According the witnesses' account, Victor was with Elliana in the air when they plummeted together. Just as they were about to hit the ground, he protected her, making her completely unharmed and unscathed. We have interviewed Elliana. Let's hear the whole story from her.”

The TV in the ward was full of reports about the accident. Because of Victor's injuries, it was inconvenient for him to move. He could only lie on the bed and watch TV idly.

"Hello, Elliana. Can you tell us what happened at that time?"

Elliana smiled on the TV and said, "It's just like what you said. We both were about to fall down, but at the critical moment, Victor traded places with me. I was so scared that I just closed my eyes. When we fell to the ground, I realized that he was under me. He was the reason why I didn't get hurt. Victor saved me. I really appreciate what he did to me. He is my hero, my angel, my savior. If it weren't because of him, I would have been the one hospitalized instead of him. He knew he was gonna get hurt but he did it anyway. Victor, you have to recover as soon as possible!"

Click.

The door of the ward suddenly opened. Victor turned around and saw Elliana coming in with sunglasses.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"Shouldn't I come to see you?" Elliana took off her sunglasses with a smile. Looking at the screen of the TV, she said, "Oh, you're also watching the news."

"My news is on every TV channel now. It's difficult for me to avoid it."

As soon as he finished his words, Victor turned off the TV. "You really didn't have to praise me like that in front of the reporters. The truth is I just reacted subconsciously. As a man, it's my duty to protect you."

"You should know that many men will choose to abandon women and only care about their own lives in critical moments." Elliana's eyes were earnest and full of sincerity. "No matter what you say, you saved me. You are a good person, Victor. You don't have to deny it. I'm getting more and more confused with you, and at the same time, I'm more and more attracted by you."

Hearing that, Victor chuckled. "What? Are you so grateful to me that you want to marry me in exchange?"

"If I say yes, will you want me?" Elliana sat on the edge of the bed. Before Victor could speak, she continued, "When we were shooting in the other city, you went into my room. By why—"

"Maybe it's because I haven't slept with any woman for four years," interrupted Victor. "I don't dare to live the free and unrestrained life I had years ago. I've changed. II

"That's why you didn't sleep with me nor those women in rumors? Do you want to settle down?" asked Elliana.
