Andre himself had not expected that he would actually lose the cool-headedness and self-restraint he had been proud of because of Layla’s injury.
Andre always thought that his care and protection of Layla previously stemmed from the affection of a senior for a young girl.
Even though they had slept together that day, it had been due to a moment of impulse and he failed to control the desire in his body.
Before today, he knew very well that he had some special feelings for this young girl.
However, he was more willing to attribute these feelings to the care an uncle had for the president’s daughter and his responsibility for his previous mistake.
However, just now…!
When Layla threw herself at him, Andre’s first reaction was not of relief that he was not injured, but he was bitter and furious that he had not protected her well!
When Andre saw Layla’s injury clearly, immense fear leaped out from his heart in an unprecedented way.
Only then did Andre understand his own feelings clearly. Only then did he realize how afraid he was of losing Layla!
This had nothing to do with taking care of or protecting her. This was love!
Before he had realized it, he had already fallen deeply in love with this young girl.
Andre knew that if Layla had not risked her life to protect him just now, he would have been the one lying in the operating theater now.
However, compared to Layla getting injured, he wished more strongly that he was the one who had gotten injured! He also wished that he could receive this pain for her!
She was such a beautiful and cheerful young girl. Her back was so beautiful; her skin was fair and rosy, soft and delicate.
What if she got a scar because of this?
Once he recalled that the culprit behind all this was that knife-wielding man in black, Andre wanted to go and cut his corpse into pieces!
Andre carefully recalled the entire process of the assassination. This definitely wasn’t a simple, unorganized operation!
Similarly, Andre had also sensed that although this group of people seemed to be there to assassinate him, their real target was actually Layla!
Besides, that route was the only way to get to Brian Manor!
Catherine’s face appeared in his mind, and he was infuriated. Andre clenched his fists tightly and punched the hospital wall fiercely!
It had to be that vicious woman!
“Rhode!”
“Boss, I’m here.”
Rhode, who had been waiting beside him, heard Andre’s voice and replied hurriedly.
“Investigate this matter! No matter what method our brothers use, they must find out who had ordered this group of people!” Andre took a deep breath and declared calmly.
Rhode felt that the high and mighty Andre, with the aura of a king, from the past had returned once more!
No matter who was behind this, Rhode knew that they would never have a happy life again!
“Yes, Boss! Don’t worry! I’ll go immediately!” Rhode knew how important this matter was to Andre, so he went to arrange it immediately.
Andre stood in front of the operating theater and stared at the entrance intently.
In the past, he had felt that power and authority were not that important. Therefore, not only had he not wanted to compete, but he had even taken the initiative to give the head position to Catherine!
However, there was no time when he craved power as much as now. He wanted to use this power to protect the woman he loved!
Andre knew very well what kind of dirty thoughts Catherine had toward him, but he had already rejected her very clearly before.
On account of the sentimentality of his past relationship with Catherine when he was young, although he had left the Brian family, they had never really fallen out.
Andre clenched his fists tightly. He remembered the tragic deaths of his previous four girlfriends. His last wife had been shot to death in front of him!
Although he did not have the most direct and crucial evidence of what had happened last time, Andre knew very well in his heart that since the surveillance cameras had captured a person with such a similar figure to Catherine, this definitely was not a coincidence!
If he found out that it was really ordered by Catherine behind his back, he definitely would not let her off easily!
If Catherine dared to use the power that originally belonged to Andre to hurt the woman he loved, he swore that he would definitely take back what belonged to him and make her suffer a living hell!
