A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

The second morning, Shirley hadn't woken up yet. When Raymond was about to go to the company, he told the nurse to take good care of Shirley and call him as soon as she woke up. Raymond's assistant drove to pick up Raymond. He took Raymond's laptop and a briefcase and waited outside the ward.

When Raymond was about to go out, Shirley, who was lying on the bed, suddenly let out a light groan. The guard immediately called out to Raymond, "Mr. Cordova, she's awake. Ms. Hopper is awake." Raymond turned around and saw Shirley lying on the bed. Her head moved, and her long eyelashes trembled. She slowly opened her eyes.

Shirley looked around at the pure white wall and ceiling. As she kept smelling the strong smell of disinfectant at the tip of her nose, her mind went blank, and her eyes were a little confused.

Suddenly, Shirley raised her head and saw Raymond standing next to her. He looked gentle.

"Are you awake?" Raymond asked in a low voice.

Shirley touched the gauze on her forehead and looked at Raymond in confusion. "What's wrong with me? Why am I here?"

"Your head hurts?"

"It hurts a bit." Shirley felt the light outside the window was a little dazzling, and she closed her eyes uncomfortably. "And I feel a little dizzy."

"The doctor said there is a slight concussion when you hit your head. Have a good rest, and you will recover soon," Raymond said in a soft tone.

Shirley had never seen Raymond be so gentle to her before. She felt sweet in her heart. When Shirley was about to sit up, she felt a sting in her leg. The pain made her frown. "My leg."

Raymond's eyes darkened, "Your leg bone is broken. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you will soon recover."

"What happened? Why did I suddenly become like this?" Shirley pressed her temples, and her mind went blank. "Why can't I remember anything?"

Shirley only remembered that she had an appointment with Rodger, but she didn't remember what happened later.

Moreover, Shirley vaguely remembered that something very important happened later and someone was involved. However, her mind was blank.

Shirley tried to recall what had happened, but her brain was so painful that she couldn't continue to think about it.

The doctor had told Raymond that Shirley had a slight concussion as her head was hit, which might cause her temporary amnesia. It seemed that she had forgotten what had happened in the hotel. However, even if Shirley had forgotten, Raymond knew that Shirley had been bullied by Rodger.

Although there was nothing between Raymond and Shirley anymore, Shirley was injured because of him, and Raymond still felt a little guilty.

"Don't think about anything you can't remember for the time being!" Raymond said in a low voice. "Now, you should have a good rest. If you need anything, just tell the doctors and nurses." As she saw that Raymond was wearing a decent suit, there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Are you leaving?"

Raymond wanted to say something, but when he saw the weak look on Shirley's face, he said, "I have something to deal with in the company. I'll come to see you after I finish it."

"Okay." Shirley was a sensible woman. She wouldn't pester Raymond at this time. Since Raymond had promised her that he would come back to see her when he finished his work in the company, then he would.

Thinking of this, Shirley was overjoyed.

Although she was very sad that her leg was broken, Raymond started to treat her nicer when she was injured this time. For her, this injury was not a disaster, but a blessing.

Three years ago, in order to have a bright future, Shirley ruthlessly refused Raymond's parents' marriage proposal.

Shirley kept regretting it. She wanted to know if Raymond was sad because she refused to marry him.

Now... Shirley was back, and she could pursue Raymond again. Even if Raymond had a girlfriend now, Shirley still had a chance as long as they didn't get married.

On the other side, without knowing what was on Shirley's mind, Raymond turned around and left the ward without looking back.

Raymond's men finally found Rodger.

Rodger was driving a car on the highway, intending to leave Peace City in the early morning. His eyes were bloodshot.

Last night, Rodger had been hiding from the men that Raymond sent. He had been nervous all night and didn't have a rest. It took him a long time to get a fake driver's license and a local car in the early morning before he was able to leave Peace City.

As long as Rodger left Peace City, it would be difficult for Raymond to put his hand on Rodger. At that time, Rodger would go abroad from another city. Even if Raymond found that Rodger had bought the air ticket, Raymond would not be able to stop Rodger anymore.

Seeing that his plan was going to succeed step by step, Rodger was very happy.

However, Rodger didn't get Shirley, and he became so notorious overnight. He got angry at the thought of it.

While he was thinking, three black cars suddenly surpassed Rodger's car. Two of them were in front of him, and then Rodger suddenly slowed down as the two cars were in parallel, stopping his car from passing.

Rodger was already angry, and now he was stopped by the car. Rodger gritted his teeth and turned right, intending to overtake from the emergency lane.

As soon as his car hit the emergency lane, the two cars in front suddenly turned their direction at the same time. One was also in the emergency lane, and the other was on the left of Rodger's car.

All of a sudden, the car in front of Rodger stopped. The head of Rodger's car hit the front car's butt heavily, and Rodger's head hit the airbag heavily.

Although Rodger was protected by the airbag, he still felt a little dizzy after being hit.

Annoyed, Rodger unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. He pointed at the car in front of him and scolded, "Is this how you drive?"

The doors of the three black cars surrounding Rodger opened, and more than ten people walked out, all dressed in black and masked.

Rodger had just finished his scolding, and when he saw the scene, he immediately became a coward. As he had a bad feeling in his heart, he turned around and rushed to the side, ready to escape by the guardrail beside the emergency lane.

There were people on three sides. On the other side of the guardrail was a forest. As long as he could make it into the forest, there was still hope.

Unfortunately, Rodger didn't have the chance. Before he reached the guardrail, his leg was kicked hard, and he fell heavily to the ground. His nose hit the ground, and blood flowed out.

Then, a nightmare happened. Countless punches and kicks fell on his body. When Rodger was about to pass out, those people finally let him go.

During this period of time, none of the cars on the highway stopped.

After those people hit Rodger, they got in the three cars respectively. Then the three cars drove away, leaving Rodger lying on the ground alone. Rodger felt every bit of his body in pain.

He thought, 'Raymond! It must be Raymond.'
