Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 739

Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his

side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t

stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment.

He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.

Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to

be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while

Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.

It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon

stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an

awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.

Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges for him. Please stay here and watch

over him.”

Leon’s expression was very unnatural––he even sounded awkward. They really needed a woman at

this moment. When will Heather arrive so that this awkward situation can dissipate?

Looking at Leon’s stiff posture, Matthias smirked. Then, he averted his gaze to Zayne, who looked

pitiful lying in the bed. Matthias felt sorry for him but was amused at the same time. Anyway, I should

let him quench his thirst first.

So, he walked straight to Zayne with a spoon in his hand. To think about it, he had never served

someone like this before. He was reminded of his mother, who had passed away a long time ago. Back

then, he was still young and didn’t know how to attend to others, so he could only watch helplessly from

the side.

Now that he was put in a situation to serve the others, Matthias could only imitate what he could

remember. He took the cup of hot water and walked up to Zayne. After all this while, the water had

cooled down a little so the temperature was just nice.

Matthias looked down at Zayne. As much as it was rather awkward for two men to be in a situation like

this, Matthias planned to feed Zayne the water scoop by scoop. It wasn’t an easy process. Matthias

had to be extra careful lest the water would spill on the bed sheet.

However, before Zayne could finish drinking, Leon rushed in. Matthias and Zayne turned to look at

Leon at the same time as they didn’t know what was the hurry about.

“Something happened outside,” Leon said while panting. He had never seen such a scene before and

was taken aback.

Matthias and Zayne gazed at each other as they didn’t know what Leon was referring to. Meanwhile,

Leon quickly closed the ward door and stared blankly at Zayne’s bed as if he was pondering a serious

matter.

The other two didn’t understand what Leon’s expression was about, but they knew something terrible

must have happened. Otherwise, Leon wouldn’t be this perturbed. It seems like the matter is becoming

more complicated. What should we do now?

“We have to leave this place,” Leon said after catching his breath. He couldn’t think of a better idea; for

now, that was the most reliable solution he could come up with.

“Leave here? Where do you plan to go?” Matthias asked in perplexity as he didn’t understand what

Leon meant.

With a deep frown, Leon said resignedly, “We don’t have time to discuss where to go. Right now, we

have to quickly run for our lives.”

There was no time to explain further. Leon was contemplating how they could move Zayne away from

here as this was not an easy task.

On the other hand, Zayne was shocked hearing Leon’s words. “You better not be making jokes at this

point in time. We’re in the hospital. Why should we run for our lives?”

Both Zayne and Matthias couldn’t understand what terrible things could actually happen in the hospital,

so they naturally found Leon’s statement suspicious.

“You guys are so stubborn. I don’t have time to explain to you. I have to think of a way to move Zayne

away now!” Leon had a look of exasperation on his face; he couldn’t even be bothered to be angry at

them.

Seeing the other two looking unflustered, Leon was worried sick, but this matter couldn’t be explained

clearly in just a few words.

“Calm down. You have to tell us what exactly happened out there.” Matthias furrowed his brows as he

had no idea why Leon was in such a panic.

“Okay, okay,” Leon grumbled impatiently.

“There’s a medical dispute out there. A patient’s family member is attacking the others with a knife right

now as we speak. We have to leave here immediately. I’m worried that he’ll bring us trouble later,” Leon

explained in a serious manner.

However, Matthias and Zayne heaved a sigh of relief as they had never thought this was what actually

happened. They even felt like Leon was fooling around with them.

“Just that?” Zayne asked in uncertainty.

Leon nodded. “Yeah, but it’s not a normal medical dispute.” There was a hidden meaning in Leon’s

remark.

Zayne instantly got it while Matthias was still puzzled. What exactly does Leon mean?

“Then, we should leave here immediately.” Zayne agreed with Leon’s proposal. The hospital wasn’t a

safe place to stay anymore and they should escape as soon as possible!

Although Matthias was still confused, he trusted Zayne’s judgment. Since even Zayne agreed, this

matter must be not as simple as it seemed. As such, they had to quickly think of a way to leave the

place. However, besides leaving via the ward door, how else could they leave the room? Since Leon

had blocked the ward door, it was obvious that it wasn’t an option anymore. As such, they were in a

quandary.

Although the ward wasn’t too high as it was situated on the third floor, it wasn’t easy to get down from

here either. Moreover, Zayne was having casts all over his body and Matthias didn’t dare to just move

him around. Given such a situation, it seemed to be difficult for all three of them to leave together.

“We can only leave through the ward door,” Matthias said calmly as being in a panic wouldn’t help at

this moment.

Zayne and Leon exchanged glances as that was exactly what they were thinking about too. A while

later, Zayne spoke up solemnly, “It seems like that’s the only way.”

“Do you guys have a plan yet?” Leon did not expect that Zayne would actually agree to leave via the

ward door.

The attacker outside was going after Zayne. If he were to go out at this moment, he would expose

himself.

“Is the person out there a hitman?” Matthias finally got his head around the situation and thought the

attacker could be merely using the medical dispute as an excuse to cause a scene but was actually a

hitman sent to come after Zayne.

Leon nodded solemnly. He wondered who Zayne had offended that the person had to use such dirty

methods to come after him. If it wasn’t that he had encrypted Zayne’s ward number beforehand, the

hitman could have found them long ago.

“Does he have a gun?” Guns were still something Mattihas smarted.

“He didn’t look like he was armed, but I can’t say for sure.” Leon tried to recall the scene when he saw

the attacker just now. He was certain that the said person was coming after Zayne.

“I can deal with him.” Matthias stood out as the other two could only rely on him now.

Zayne gazed at Matthias in doubt. Although he knew Matthias was a good fighter, he was still worried.

After all, their enemy was a professional killer, which was not someone who could be handled by any

ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Leon instantly rejected Matthias’ proposal. “Matthias, you won’t be able to beat him. Do you

know why I could tell he was a hitman at one glance?”

Matthias looked at Leon in confusion. This was exactly the point he couldn’t comprehend. Since Leon

had brought it up, he would gladly hear Leon’s explanation.

“Because I’ve once got my hands on a register of hitmen and have seen the same person in that

register. He’s one of the top 100 assassins in the world.” Until today, Leon could clearly remember the

hitmen in the register. He was disgusted whenever he was reminded of it because the hitmen in the

register must have slaughtered countless lives.

Matthias felt his scalp tingling as he had never expected to run into such an onerous situation. It was

indeed tricky to deal with killers. After all, the skills Matthias had were meant to confront the enemy

head-to-head. However, assassins usually had a variety of ambushing skills and it was difficult to deal

with the enemy when they were attacking in the dark. As such, Matthias couldn’t ensure if he would be

able to protect Zayne.

“So are we going to sit here and await our doom?” Matthias said in a self-deprecating manner while

Zayne was racking his brain. If Jason was around at this moment, their problems would be solved.

Nonetheless, no one expected the enemy to act so rapidly––even sending a hitman after planning the

car accident.

As far as Zayne knew, there were only a few people who were capable of arranging so many things to

happen in such a short time. As such, the identity of the mastermind behind these incidents was

becoming more clear.

Zayne could almost figure out who the mastermind was because it wasn’t hard to identify him or her

after a process of elimination. Currently, there were two people whom Zayne suspected the most, but

he couldn’t confirm which one it was.

“No. We can wait for Heather to come to our rescue.” Leon gave up on the idea to move Zayne away

because it wasn’t a realistic solution given the current situation. In contrast, Zayne could be easily

exposed if they went out.

After saying that, Leon immediately called Heather. He was dying for her to pick up the call as soon as

possible because he had put all his hopes on her.

Heather was still in the cab when she received Leon’s call out of the blue. After she picked up the call,

Leon anxiously informed her about their current situation and urged her to quickly bring Jason over.

However, this was impossible to achieve. Looking at the GPS on her phone, Heather felt like Leon was RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

joking with her. How could she possibly bring Jason over in such a short time?

After pondering for a while, Heather asked Leon, “Do you have any way to contact Jason?”

Leon only had one phone with him now. Was Heather expecting him to use his phone to gain private

information on Jason? Even if that worked out, there was no guarantee that they would be able to get

in touch with Jason.

“Heather, I’m afraid I can’t do that right now. Before this, I spent almost 4 hours at home searching, and

I still couldn’t find any information about Jason. So…” Before Leon could finish his sentence, he turned

around and looked at Zayne. He had almost forgotten that Zayne had regained consciousness now, so

he would surely have a way to get in contact with Jason.

Without hanging up the call, Leon said to Zayne anxiously, “Zayne, quickly contact Jason. He’s the only

person who can save you now.”

Zayne wore a resigned expression as he lay in bed. “Even if I tried, I too wouldn’t be able to contact

him at this point in time.”

Since Jason got really angry this time, he definitely wouldn’t bring anything with him. Therefore,

contacting him right now was close to impossible. At this thought, Zayne felt he could only rely on fate

for now.

“Forget about it. I’ll go find Jason.” Heather wasn’t hopeful anymore. Now that things had escalated to

such a situation, the only way was to find Jason as soon as possible.

“Seems like I’m doomed this time,” Zayne said in a relaxed manner; it was as if he was referring to

someone else.
