My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2199

“Right now, I can only take her alone..."

Harrison and Lauren breathed a sigh of relief at Clint’s affirmative answer.

Clint was puzzled at the couple’s response. Their expressions when they heard that they could not leave were not panic. They were calm and even slightly joyful.

Clint lowered his head and muttered an apology.

The old couple just patted Clint on the shoulders. The two of them said in unison, "Mr. Melton, we're counting on you to take care of Rara.”

Clint nodded.

Afterward, he raced against time, crossed through space, and arrived at his hospital in the Southern Territory as quickly as possible. Within three seconds after leaving Lewis Estate, Clint appeared in the hospital.

Everyone had been notified prior, so the hospital bed and room were ready.

Rylan and Ronan hurriedly carried Hera to the hospital bed and wheeled her straight into the operating room.

Clint glanced at Ronan, and Ronan also caught a glimpse of Clint's gaze. Clint pleaded desperately with his eyes. Seeing that, Ronan nodded firmly.

Then, the door to the operating room closed. Only then did Clint relax.

He checked within himself. At present, his true energy consumption had depleted completely. Along with the giant tree’s absorption, he would soon become a demonic tree.

Clint knew that he should not let the transformation take place in the hospital. He hurriedly supported his trembling body and walked slowly downstairs.

"Gotta go downstairs… Go..." Clint fainted and fell down the stairs hard.

At this moment, Ryan wielded the god-slaying sword. His blow managed to split the huge palm into two. Only then was Jacques was able to escape.

He noticed that Ryan was no longer moving on the ground. It was obvious that Ryan would soon die from true energy depletion.

Although that blow was not a full-powered attack, it still took half of Ryan's life. The current situation was dire.

Ryan had no choice but to unleash that blow prematurely. He knew in his heart that if they were struck by those hands just now, he would not have been able to execute any slashes even if he had full strength. Ryan stood up again using the god-slaying sword as support.

Jacques flew to his side to persuade him, "I think you should rest. If you become a demonic tree, I'll kill you without hesitation."

Ryan panted as he looked at Jacques and said, "You're… at the Divine Sojourn Realm right? I'll leave it to you..."
