Chapter 260 Fierce Fight On The Pier (Part One)


    Sitting on the cold bench in the corridor, Sh clutched her chest. Her heart was pounding wildly.


    How fortunate was she that her son had finally had a pair of suitable corneas! Once the operation


    was finished and her life back on tracks, everything would be fine.


    Ring! Ring! Ring!


    Beside her, Barry stood silently while waiting for the surgery to finish. Suddenly, his mobile phone


    rang. He looked at the caller ID and frowned. He said sorry to Sh before going away to answer


    the call.


    "Hello?" As soon as Barry swiped the screen a roar came from the phone.


    "Mr. Gu, what did you mean? You can''t do this to me! I''ve been preparing for the live broadcast for


    half a month! But you just canceled it on thest minute!"


    "Mr. Wu, I''m sorry for what happened today." Barry did not show much expression on his face. He


    just squinted his eyes and answered calmly, "I can''t tell you the reason, but please forgive me, Mr.


    Wu. If it weren''t for the emergency, I wouldn''t have taken such an unwise move." "Because of your


    emergency, the whole crew was as anxious as ants on a hot pan! Do you think your sorry could


    make up for it, Mr. Gu? You''re ridiculous! You, young people, can''t even do things properly. The GM


    Universing Studios is so impetuous and careless! Even the rising star from yourpany dares to


    be arrogant and selfi —"


    "Mr. Wu!" Barry couldn''t take the man''s rants anymore so he interrupted him coldly. "I''ve already


    called and apologized. Although it''s our fault this time, Mr. Wu, don''t you forget that you requested


    us to add inappropriate advertisements in the interview, and had changed the interview time twice.


    But, our actress, Sh, still tried her best to cooperate with you. We are business partners so we


    shouldn''t be too harsh on each other. Mr. Wu, I am aware that you are experienced, but you can''t


    rely on your superiority for too long. What do you think?"


    Hearing this, the producer of the show, Mr. Wu was speechless for a while.


    "Well, Mr. Wu, I have something else to do now. " Barry had no intention of continuing the


    conversation any longer. "If you have any questions, you can call my assistant directly. Goodbye."


    After hanging up the phone, Barry breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he found that


    Sh was standing behind him.


    Barry was startled. "Why didn''t you say anything? You freaked me out!" Sh handed him a bottle


    of water and apologized awkwardly, "I''m sorry, Mr. Gu. Please drink some water."


    "No, thank you." Barry waved his hand.


    "Okay." Sh withdrew her hand and said, "Mr. Gu, thank you. Today''s live broadcast—"


    "It doesn''t matter. I''ve already heard too much. Please don''t mention it again. Moreover," Barry


    looked at her and continued, "you are my woman. Isn''t it my duty to help you?"


    His woman?


    Sh''s face instantly blushed because of what he had called her.


    Barry looked away unnaturally. He had nned to let Sh go when his heart was no longer


    controlled by Mary.


    Sh, on the other hand, was moved by his words. She no longer thought about her first


    impression of Barry, but she still believed that she did not deserve a good man like Barry. Until now,


    her inferiorityplex dwelled on her.


    By the time the surgery was done, it was already getting dark. The operation took a few hours


    before the light atop the operating room went out.


    Her heart sank. She ran to the door of the operating room and waited nervously. Barry, too, was


    nervous. Seeing that the operation was over, he anxiously walked over to her.


    Crack!


    The door of the operating room opened, and Dr. Li walked out with a smile. "The operation was a


    sess!"


    Swoosh.


    Barry and Sh both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They watched as Ray was pushed


    from the operating room and into the ward.


    "Ray will wake up as soon as the anesthetic wears down. Also, the gauze on his eyes can''t be


    removed or touched. If Ray feels any difort, call a doctor immediately," Dr. Li said.


    "I understand. Thank you, doctor!" Sh quickly thanked him. The happiness in her heart was


    overwhelming. She felt she might cry any moment now.


    Looking at Ray who was sleeping on the hospital bed, Barry felt relieved. "Since everything''s fine,


    I''m going to leave now."


    "Thank you, Mr. Gu." Sh nodded at him sincerely.


    "It''s nothing." He nced at Ray onest time and paused. "You don''t have to go to the vi tonight.


    You don''t have to work for now. I will give you three days off to take good care of your son."


    "Mr. Gu..." Tears welled up in her eyes and she choked with sobs. "Thank you, thank you!" She did


    not know what else to say besides ''thank you''.


    "All right," Barry said dismissively. He was not used to such a sentimental scene. "Just stay in the


    hospital. Jaime will apany you. If you need anything, tell him. I''m leaving."


    "Okay. See you, Mr. Gu."


    "Jaime," Barry said to the agent, "look after her and watch out for the paparazzi."


    "Sure. I got it." Jaime nodded and waved at him. "Goodbye, Mr. Gu."


    "Bye." With that, Barry walked away.


    Sh stood still and gazed at his back, lost in thought.


    In the evening, William and the others came back from Z City to A City smoothly. The group stopped


    at Kary Vi.


    "Aisha, would you like to stay in the vi with me?" Mary asked.


    "No, thank you," Aisha answered as she shook her head and rolled her eyes. "It''s not convenient."


    Mary was surprised by her answer. She recalled what Aisha had told her secretly and agreed. "If


    you need anything, call me!"


    "Yes, I will!" Aisha nodded, and drove away with Jazlyn.


    "Why are they in such a hurry?" Lucas asked with curled lips. "What are they going to do?"


    Standing aside with furrowed brows, Archer looked at the direction where the two women had left.


    He was curious as well.


    "You can leave now. Bye!" Holding Mary in his arms, William walked into the vi with her.


    "Humph!" Lucas spoke disdainfully. "You are indeed heartless!"


    When they got back to the vi, Mary immediately stretched her hand out and said to William,


    "Come on!"


    "Why are you in such a hurry?" William chuckled and asked teasingly, "Wasn''tst night enough?"


    "What?" Mary was confused. All of a sudden, she realized what he was talking about. She instantly


    felt angry and embarrassed. "You are a pervert! I was talking about the video! Victor''s video!"


    "You can''t forget it even for a moment!" murmured William unhappily.


    "Hey, hurry up! We made a deal. Of course, I won''t forget it!" she urged more. "I can give it to you,"


    said William with a snicker, "but I want you to do what you didst night."


    "No way!" Mary refused without hesitation. She did not want to do such an embarrassing thing for


    the second time!

    "Mary..."


    "Stop acting like a spoiled child! Don''t act shamelessly!" Resting her hands on her hips, Mary said


    threateningly, "If you keep doing this, I''ll be angry!"


    "No. No. No. I''m afraid of you!" William took her hand and led her to the study. "I''ll give it to you right


    away."


    ''I just came back home. What a difficult day...'' William could not help but feel sorry for himself.


    "Here you go!" He gave her a VCD and a small memory card. "That''s it. The original video is in the


    memory card."


    She took them and asked with suspicion, "Is this all?"


    "Don''t you believe me, Mary?" William''s eyes turned sad and pitiful. "Am I really bad in your eyes?


    What''s the use of keeping it anyway? Now I have nothing to do with Victor!"


    "I''m d you''ve realized that!" Mary tilted her head and asked, "Since you don''t gain anything from


    this, why did you keep this all this time? Who knows what your purpose is."
