The Runaway Groom
Chapter 917

Bob hated Ricky for his betrayal, and he fired a shot straight at Ricky before the police officers could subdue him!

However, Martin York stepped in the bullet's way, and the shot hit him on the back.

He was rushed to the hospital right away for emergency surgery, but the bullet was lodged too close to Martin's heart. They needed the best heart surgeons to extract it, or the risk would be too serious.

While the hospital arranged for the surgery, Lulu Adams was still at home.

She knew about the operation today, and although she never received word, she was afraid to call Martin since she might disturb him while he was on the job.

When she had enough of waiting, she headed straight to the precinct, where the higher-ups were interrogating Bob.

Lulu's worries eased, since it seemed that the operation was a success, and Ricky was the most vulnerable asset—he would definitely be killed if the crime ring realized he was the mole. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Finding Johnny, one of Martin's squadmates, she asked, "How did the operation go?"

Remembering that Martin was still in the hospital—his fate unknown— Johnny did not dare to say too much. Averting his eyes from hers, he simply told Lulu, "It's a success.”

Lulu then asked, "Was the informant safe?"

"Yeah, we brought him back already," Johnny said, keeping his eyes lowered as he cleaned his table.

Lulu heaved a sigh of relief—that was good, and she would not have trouble explaining herself to Irene.

Turning, she said, "Tell your captain to come home soon too."

"Yeah," Johnny replied very softly.

Lulu seemed to remember something then, and she turned to look at Johnny. "Wait, the operation is a success, right? Martin can head home earlier, right?"

This time, Johnny simply hung his head in silence.

Martin was definitely not making it home tonight, but he did not dare to tell Lulu when she was so close to labor.

However, Lulu quickly noticed that he was acting strange, and her expression darkened.

"Johnny."

Johnny forced himself to look up. "I heard you, and I'll tell cap. But we have another case to follow, so he might not be back soon."

"Didn't you say the operation was a success? What other case is there? Martin never mentioned anything like that!" Lulu exclaimed, staring straight at Johnny just then. "Be honest. What happened to Martin?"

“Look, you're pregnant,” Johnny said. "You don't have to ask—we'll do our best..."

Lulu stumbled backward in shock—Johnny was implying that something had happened to Martin!

Quickly catching a corner of the desk, she forced herself to stay calm, and she glared at Johnny. "Tell me everything."

“Lulu...” Johnny was pleading.

"Now!" Lulu yelled, but she suddenly felt enfeebled.

She tried to muster her strength, but she felt endlessly drained.

“Lulu,” Johnny quickly went up to hold her up, hesitating for a moment before sighing. "Cap took a bullet to save the informant. The doctor told us that the bullet is very close to the heart, and they're now putting together a surgical procedure. But there's no need to panic—the captain has always led an upstanding life, and he'll be fine—" "Urgh..." Lulu groaned, suddenly ignoring him.

Her belly was abruptly aching, and she clutched on it, her breathing turned rushed.

“Is the baby coming?!" Johnny exclaimed, and he promptly whipped out his phone to call an ambulance.

On the other hand, Lulu's hands were clenching as she withstood the waves of agony to take out her phone and call Irene.

Irene soon answered. "Lulu?"

“Irene! Get over here! Right! Now!"

Since Irene was a prodigious heart surgeon, Lulu knew that she would definitely have a way to save Martin.

Meanwhile, her water had broken, and fluid was flowing down her inner thighs.

Johnny was scared out of his mind. "Lulu, what—"

"Calm down!" Lulu shot him a look and snapped before turning back to her phone, informing Irene with perfect clarity, “Coming by car would take too much time. Ask Isaac—he'll definitely get you here in the shortest time possible. I'm asking you for a favor here, and it's really urgent..."
