Chapter. 6 Hera Father Sick

It turns out that it was Ewan. Ewan's stepbrother contacted Hera to inform her that their father was currently in the hospital in critical condition. Upon hearing this, Hera quickly left the hotel, after previously telling King that if she was in a hurry, King should go his business card for her and that she would wait for her response until midnight.

Meanwhile, still in the hotel restaurant, King smiled slyly, 

"Very interesting, ha-ha-ha; I will take revenge on that woman," he muttered. Juyan wondered what was happening with his boss, why he suddenly smiled like that.

"Young master, what do you plan to do with Miss Hera?" King looked at Juyan sharply, 

"I'm going to make that girl my wife! You know, my parents want to arrange a marriage for me with a woman I don't even know."

"But Boss, you don't know Miss Hera either," Juyan exclaimed. 

"Ha-ha-ha, that's why you should be quiet! Let me set the scenario; I want to make that naive girl suffer; it seems she's also materialistic," King said. Both of them left the hotel and headed back to their apartment.

Hera walked towards the hospital corridor, where her father was being treated in the ICU. She saw Ewan waiting for her in front of the room and quickly approached him, tears in her eyes. She asked in more detail why her father had been taken to the hospital. Ewan explained that their father had suddenly felt chest pain and then fainted.

The doctor, upon seeing Hera's arrival, immediately called her into his office and informed her that her father needed immediate surgery, as the worst-case scenario might happen if not treated promptly. Hearing this, Hera's heart shattered even more; she was not ready to lose her father.

She told the doctor to give her until midnight, as she was trying to raise money for her father's medical expenses. She left the doctor's office and walked back to the ICU, still in tears. She saw her father being treated, with medical devices assisting his breathing.

Ewan approached Hera and said, 

"Sis, what can we do to make Dad recover? The money you gave me, I've used it to pay off my overdue tuition fees," Ewan suddenly felt disheartened after saying that.

"Wan, I'm leaving Dad with you for a while. I need to go somewhere, and then I'll come back, and Dad will have his surgery," she said with determination.

Ewan was confused, seeing his sister dressed differently than usual, wearing a dress and makeup. He wanted to ask but decided not to when he saw Hera crying.

After bidding farewell to Ewan, Hera walked away from the ICU. She went to the hospital's exit and immediately booked a taxi online with the destination of King's apartment. It was already 11:00 PM, with just one hour left of the time King had given her.

Before she knew it, the taxi had arrived at King's apartment. She got out of the cab and looked around. There were many towering buildings in the area, and she was unsure which one was King's apartment.

Hera gathered her courage and approached the security post. She asked several guards for the location of King's apartment, showing them the business card King had given her. The guards, thinking she was a woman of the night due to her attire, eventually directed her to the right place.

After thanking the kind-hearted guard, Hera went to the King's apartment. Inside the condo, King had been feeling restless, fearing that Hera might not agree to his request. He was prepared to accept an arranged marriage with another woman. If he were to marry Hera, he at least wanted to be the one to choose that woman and follow all the rules set by the King. At this point, it was already a quarter past midnight, and the King was about to give up on hearing from Hera and go to sleep. Suddenly, his apartment doorbell rang. He quickly went to the door and looked at the small screen. It was Hera. 

King was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Ye,s! Yes! Yes,s, a few times.

He regained his composure and saw Hera standing before the door, looking dishevelled as if she had been crying. King tried not to show any concern. He opened his apartment door and invited her in. Hera sat down, and they faced each other on the sofa.

 Suddenly, Hera said, "Sir, I am willing to be your wife," Hera stuttered. 

King wanted to speak, but Hera quickly got up from the sofa, knelt before King, and said, 

"I beg you, please make me your wife. I need the money you offered." This time, Hera was lowered dignity in front of the King for her father's sake.

"Ha-ha-ha, I already knew you'd come. All right, because you've asked nicely without me telling you to, I'll grant your request," King immediately contacted Juyan.

Juan came to King's apartment with a puzzled look when he saw Hera there. King explained that Hera had agreed to be his wife for a price.

Juyan handed Hera several pieces of paper. Due to the late hour and her worry about her father, Hera quickly signed the documents without reading them. She was shocked by her action and signed the agreement without reading it.

On King's face, a mysterious smile appeared. After Hera finished signing everything, King said, "Give me your bank account number." Hera provided her account number, and to her surprise, King transferred two billion to her account, which she could use for her father's medical expenses.

"I'm transferring that amount for now; the rest will be transferred tomorrow after our marriage is officially registered in the civil registry," King said firmly.

Overjoyed, Hera got up, approached King, held his hand, and kissed the back of his hand while thanking him. Hera's sudden affection took King aback, but Juyan was not pleased. "What are you doing, Miss?" he scolded. 

"I'm sorry, sir, I just acted on impulse," Hera quickly wiped her kiss from King's hand with her fingers. King was stunned, but Juyan glared at Hera, knowing his boss didn't like others touching him.

"Tomorrow at 10 a.m., come to this address," King handed her a five-star hotel's address. Hera accepted it and bid farewell to both of them. She had to hurry back to the hospital.
