Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 678

Lauren stood frozen in shock as she watched William collapse right before her eyes.

She knew. She knew how much William liked Emilia. Otherwise, he couldn't have disregarded his nephew's feelings and married her. But even with this knowledge, Lauren never expected him to care this much.

William was an untouchable figure. Yet, for her granddaughter's sake, he had sacrificed his life to save the life of an old woman like her.

Lauren was dumbfounded. She was an old woman who should've died long ago. She really wasn't worth such a sacrifice.

William had always planned everything with multiple safety nets. When Lauren had been kidnapped, in addition to his own team, he had also teamed up with Mr. J's forces.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they had kept the infiltration team small. However, once they were inside, the risk of exposure was gone.

So, as the infiltration team entered, another squad was already on standby. And once the infiltration was successful, the strike team immediately mobilized.

After William collapsed, reinforcements stormed in before the masked man's goons could surround them. In an instant, the tide turned again.

The masked man had no choice but to abandon his plan of killing them and retreat.

The criminal organization's base was abroad, and this was domestic territory. Here, William wasn't the only one taking them down. The country's law enforcement had zero tolerance for them too.

They fought with everything they had. But because they were up against so many forces, they failed to get what they wanted. Not only that, they were also completely overwhelmed.

When Emilia received the news that every last member of the criminal organization had been apprehended, she was pacing back and forth anxiously outside the operating room.

Lauren had already been exhausted after the ordeals over the past few days. Still, she refused to rest no matter what anyone said. Stubbornly, she waited right by the doors to the operating room.

An hour passed. Then two. Then three. And still, the light above the operating room remained on. The surgery still wasn't over.
