Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

On arriving at the girl’s school, after waiting for a few minutes, the big boss and his assistant saw the girl walking down the road. And just as she was about to reach the car, they saw her get double-crossed, and thereafter, beaten to stupor.

Considering that those girls wore the same uniform as Mia, they deduced that they attended the same school as the girl.

Back to the present.

“Boss?” There was urgency in Lucas’ voice as he glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror, waiting impatiently for the man to give an order.

Shawn’s eyes didn’t leave the girl even for a second. She was crying and writhing in pain-no one cared about her. Passersby simply walked past her, paying dear ears to her cries. Some people even took pictures and recorded videos of her.

After a few seconds, he spoke, “go.”

Immediately, Lucas unbuckled the seatbelt strapped around him and dashed out of the car.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Without wasting time, he rushed to Mia’s side at once and carried her from the ground. She was swung over his shoulder and he quickly picked up her school bag too.

Swiftly, Lucas opened the backseat’s door with one hand and carefully placed the girl beside his stiff boss. He stepped into the driver’s seat and sped off immediately. He knew where exactly to go.

Shawn glanced over at the girl beside him, his face expressionless. It was hard to decipher what he had going on in his mind.

Coincidentally, Mia was also staring directly at him with her tear-brimmed brown eyes. They both gazed into each other’s eyes silently.

The roaring sound of the car speeding and Mia’s occasional sniffles were the only sounds that could be heard in the car.

Mia sobbed softly, her whole body aching in pain. As if it would help ease her pain, without thinking, she snuggled closer to Shawn, wrapping her tiny hands around his waist. She buried her face in his warm broad chest and began to wail loudly.

At first, the stoic man was taken aback by the sudden movement, so he froze. A part of him wanted to push the girl away as he wasn’t used to this form of emotional intimacy, but a tiny part of him felt obliged to let her be. And he did let her be. He neither did anything nor said any word. He simply sat motionless in the same position, his breath in his throat, as the girl wailed in his embrace.

He could feel his shirt soaked in hot tears but he still didn’t do anything. Slowly, the girl’s cry began to die down. Soon enough, it stopped.

A short while later, Lucas drove into the underground parking lot of HK Hospital. Blinking twice, Shawn looked down at the girl in his arms and saw that she was asleep. She had cried herself to sleep.

Without hesitating, he picked her up. Lucas had already stepped down from the car and held open the door for him, so the CEO simply took long strides towards the door that led into the hospital.

While on their way to the hospital, Lucas had already contacted Dr. Alfred and informed him that they were bringing a patient. So, the doctor was already on standby with three other top professional doctors.

As soon as the doctors saw CEO Shawn walking down the hallway with someone in his arms, they bowed quickly and opened the door to the special ward for him to enter.

Although they were all shocked to see that the formidable man was carrying a girl, they kept their emotions in check.

Shawn placed the girl on the hospital bed and the doctors immediately got to work after that. He sat on a side while his assistant stood behind him, both watching with keen interest as the doctors ran a series of tests on the girl, in silence. Having undergone those tests, the girl was later put on drip.

About an hour later:

“Sir, be rest assured, she’s okay. Besides having a fractured arm, she’s perfectly well.” Doctor Arnold assured the neutral looking man in front of him.

Shawn eyed the girl’s arm that was wrapped in bandage and nodded his head once. Lucas on the other hand heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad the madam was alright, if not…

“I’m taking her home.” Shawn planted his gaze on the doctor, waiting for a response from him.

For a reason only known to him, he didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer, and he also didn’t want to leave the girl behind. For a reason unknown to him, he wanted to keep her within eyesight.

Doctor Arnold blinked his eyes. Was that even a question? Didn’t seem like it at all.

“Huh, yes-of course. She’s free to be discharged. She’s okay.” He rushed out of his mouth at once.

Well, the girl was indeed perfectly fine, she simply needed to rest.

Without saying anything, Shawn stood up from the chair and walked over to the hospital bed. He picked the girl up, in his arms, and walked briskly out of the ward.

Lucas quickly trailed after his boss, after acknowledging the doctors for their hard-work.

The doctors bobbed their heads out of respect and stepped out to ogle at CEO Shawn’s retreating figure.

Doctor Arnold’s brows furrowed. He was still in shock.

Earlier on, Assistant Lucas had called to inform him that they were on their way to the hospital with a patient, but not in his wildest imagination did he think the patient would turn out to be a little school girl. In fact, he had thought they’d show up with Grandpa Mandez.

This was the first time that that aloof man would personally accompany someone who wasn’t his grandfather, to the hospital. And it turned out to be just a little girl.

What could the relationship between the two possibly be? The doctor was bewildered–as well as the others too. They had all lined up all for a girl? Wow. For CEO Shawn to have personally brought her there himself, she must be someone of great importance to him.

By the time Lucas drove into his boss’ mansion, it was already a bit dark. One of the guards held open the car door and Shawn stepped down, sleekly, with the girl in his arms. She was still asleep as she had been sedated in the hospital.

“Boss,” Lucas also stepped down from the car and stood beside it. “Those girls…” It was a good thing that the madam didn’t suffer much from all of that beating, but those students just couldn’t be left alone without being dealt with. Or they’d do it again.

It must have also been their doing, the other day he and the CEO went to get her… she was limping when she stepped out of the dormitory, and her face was bruised. It was them that time too. If care wasn’t taken, they’d continue to harass the lady.
