Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 740

Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was

prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an

issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the

patient, at the same time.

Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayne’s side while he guarded the

door vigilantly. They didn’t know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door

well.

Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fare’s price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find

Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to

the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more

anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now,

there was not enough time to rush back to the hospital in time.

It was totally unexpected for Jason, who was usually a calm man, to do such a thing. All of a sudden,

Heather realized something was wrong. She sank in deep thought as she caught a detail. Perhaps

Jason is not at the location shown by the GPS currently. What’s the purpose of him doing this?

In the hospital, Zayne remained still and completely unaffected as he stared at Leon with a big smile on

his face. On the other hand, Leon felt that Zayne was taking the situation too lightly. How can he still

wear such an expression when his life is at risk?

Today, everyone was nervous as they anticipated the arrival of the hitman. Matthias was worried that

the hitman might be armed because he did not have any weapons at this moment. Therefore, injuries

would be unavoidable if he were to combat the opponent.

Matthias was still concerned about his body’s condition since he might have to spend the rest of his

days behind bars. If he were to get seriously injured, he might not be able to hold out against the

upcoming blows.

However, the sky had turned dark and the hitman had not come to Zayne’s ward yet. Matthias felt his

muscles around his body stiffen while Leon felt numbness in his limbs too. The two of them exchanged

glances at the same time, then Leon sat down on the chair beside the bed and found Zayne sleeping

soundly.

Zayne’s behavior made Leon feel like he was being fooled, so he walked over to Zayne in

dissatisfaction to wake him up.

“Zayne, you have to tell us what exactly is going on,” Leon shook Zayne while questioning him.

Matthias looked at Zayne worriedly and said to Leon, “You shouldn’t shake him like that.”

After hearing Matthias’ command, Leon stopped his actions, but Zayne had gradually woken up. As he

was in a deep sleep, he opened his eyes with a sleepy look because he did not expect to be shaken

up.

“I’m tired,” Zayne mumbled crabbily. Since the anesthetics had not worn off yet, he was really worn

out––so much so he could easily doze off.

“The killer has not appeared yet. Care to give us an explanation?” Leon thought it could not be a

coincidence for such a surprising thing to happen. He believed it had something to do with Zayne.

“The hitman whom you said is one of the top 100 in the world has already been finished off.” Zayne

wished to turn around, but his body was feeling heavy and he could hardly move.

Zayne’s statement caught Matthias’ attention, and the latter quickly walked up to him. As such, both

Leon and Matthias were staring at Zayne as if they wouldn’t let him off if he didn’t give them an

explanation.

“I’m not too sure either. Perhaps Heather would know something.” Zayne had no idea how to explain to

them because he merely made a guess at this point and he needed Heather to confirm his guess.

Leon quickly called Heather. In no time, the familiar voice of Heather came forth from the phone.

“Where are you now, Heather?” Leon thought it was weird that there was no news from Heather yet at

this hour.

“I’m on the way back. I didn’t manage to find Jason,” Heather said dejectedly. She felt like a failure

because she ended up failing to accomplish the task. Just now, she had been pondering a matter but

had not gotten her head around it yet. However, she suddenly had a revelation the moment she

received Leon’s call out of the blue.

“Are you guys safe?” Heather was extremely concerned about their safety. Since she was so focused

on her thoughts previously, she had forgotten to call them to check if they were safe.

“The hitman did not show up, so we’re safe for now, but we’re not sure if this is the hitman’s tactic.”

Leon did not let his guard down because the hitman had a ranking after all. No one would know what

evil plan the hitman had in mind.

After hearing Leon’s remark, Heather came to a sudden realization about what was going on, so she

requested for Leon to put Zayne on the line. After talking over the phone with Zayne, both Heather and

Zayne were certain that Jason must be the one playing tricks.

After hanging up, Zayne smiled in gratification. It seemed like Jason was much smarter than he had

imagined. As such, they could probably confirm who the mastermind was once Jason showed up.

Nonetheless, Zayne wasn’t sure if Jason was still in the hospital. If he had already gotten rid of the

killer, why hadn’t he shown up yet? At this thought, Zayne was worried. He guessed Jason might have

gotten injured too, and the fact that he had not shown up until now might imply that he was seriously

injured.

Zayne was eager to get in touch with Jason, but there was no way he could reach him now. This time

around, Jason was extremely tactful to the point where even Zayne was almost deceived by him.

Things were becoming more complicated. Zayne frowned as he thought what was about to come next

might be even more tricky. All he could do now was to wait for Jason to show up. He believed Jason This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

must still be alive.

As true brothers could feel each other telepathically, Zayne knew Jason had turned the dangerous

situation around. Therefore, he believed Jason was safe and would appear in front of them very soon.

However, it was already past midnight when Heather arrived at the hospital, and Jason had not

appeared yet.

Heather glanced at the three men in the ward––who were all equally important to her––and felt grateful

that none of them got hurt.

“You’re finally here, Heather.” As if he had not seen her in a long time, Matthias walked up to her and

gave her a big hug. Totally ignoring the other two love rivals in the ward, Matthias just wanted to hug

Heather tightly. The feeling of seeing her again was amazing.

“You’re hugging me too tight. I’m suffocating.” Heather attempted to break away from Matthias’ arms.

“I’m sorry,” Matthias apologized and let go of Heather while the latter smiled brightly at him upon being

freed. Then, she looked toward Zayne and asked, “Hasn’t Jason shown up yet?”

Presently, this was the matter which Heather was concerned about the most. She, too, was waiting for

Jason because everything would be revealed once Jason showed up.

“No. I’m worried too.” Zayne was worried about Jason’s safety. As much as he believed nothing serious

could have happened to Jason, he still couldn’t help worrying.

“Is there no way to contact Jason right now?” Heather was restless to the point she wanted to head out

to find Jason again.

“Not at all. We can only wait for him to show up,” Zayne said in resignation.

Meanwhile, Leon and Matthias were confused hearing the conversation as they still had no idea who

Jason was.

Problems arose one after another. While Heather was still bothered with Jason’s matter, she

unexpectedly received a call from Tony. Glancing at the phone, Heather answered the call and heard a

familiar voice.

“Myra?” Heather exclaimed in disbelief.

“Heather, where are you now? I wish to see you.” Myra’s voice was neither soft nor heavy, but Heather

was perturbed hearing it because even she wasn’t able to accept these happenings that came one

after another.

“Myra, are you with Tony now?” Heather asked as she couldn’t believe what was going on.

Myra answered firmly, “Yeah. I’ve always been with Tony.”

Heather was extremely excited. Little did she expect that Myra, whom she worried about the most, had

already returned to Tony now. Since Myra was already safe, Heather couldn’t be bothered about

anything else anymore and was dying to meet Myra immediately.

Then, she gave Myra the address and expected that both Myra and Tony would come to find her in the

hospital soon. After hanging up, Heather hit her head as she still found it unbelievable. Everything that

was happening right now was like a sweet dream.

“Myra and Tony are coming later,” Heather informed the others with a giggle.

The three men reacted differently upon hearing the news. Nevertheless, Zayne was the only one who

frowned as if he had received bad news.

Heather anxiously anticipated Myra’s arrival and was counting down the time in her heart. She figured

Myra wasn’t too far away from the hospital, but she felt like time was going by extremely slow and

every minute was like torture to her.

Just then, a knock at the door emerged. Heather quickly opened the door to see Myra, whom she

hadn’t seen for a very long time. Beside Myra was Tony, who was standing tall with a compelling look.

Heather averted her gaze toward Tony after gazing at Myra. She still couldn’t believe that this was

actually happening.

“Myra!” Heather almost felt like weeping, but she managed to hold it in front of the others.

“Heather, Tony said that there’s something I should ask you personally.” Myra sounded weird––even

Tony was wearing a pleasant expression standing aside.

“Let’s talk inside,” Tony said gently to Myra.

Myra obediently entered the ward while Tony closed the door thereafter. He stared at Heather with a

solemn look while contemplating if he should tell Heather about the weird things that had happened to

Myra.

Meanwhile, Myra couldn’t be bothered about the existence of other people at the scene and babbled

immediately, “Heather, Tony said I’ve disappeared for a long time, but I can’t remember anything about

it. All I know is that we were shopping together yesterday.”

Heather looked at Myra in puzzlement as she did not understand what Myra was talking about. She

cast an imploring look toward Tony, to which Tony nodded in response, signaling for her to tell Myra the

truth.

“Myra, you’ve indeed disappeared for a very long time. We have not seen each other for quite some

time now.” Heather thought even though this fact might be unacceptable to Myra, she should still tell

her the truth.

With that, Myra’s jaw dropped. Could it be that my memory has failed me? I can still remember what

happened back then. Moreover, I’ve just patched up with Heather not long ago. All this had actually

happened, but what’s going on now?

On the other hand, Heather decided to fill Myra in on everything that had happened during this period.

She wasn’t sure how much Myra was able to absorb, but she didn’t wish to hide anything from her.
