Chapter 968
The explosion caused a stir in Strico.
The explosion caused the collapse of an abandoned building and damaged the constructions around it to varying
degrees.
Many aides that came to help had immediately evacuated the people from nearby buildings. When the incident
happened, it instantly became trending news online.
As the situation escalated, many netizens found that Jonathan and his wife were also involved in this, and they
became more invested in the news.
However, the Youngblood family and the police had blocked all the news.
Everyone only knew that the criminal, Madeline, was dead. Simultaneously, the mercenaries helping Madeline with
her crimes were all detained in the detention center, waiting to be prosecuted.
At this moment, Rosalie lay on an operating table as the commotion outside grew further away from her. Reality
felt like a dream for her.

Jon and I are alive. We aren’t dead! We escaped!’ She exclaimed inwardly.
She still had the same lingering feeling of fear she felt during their escape. At that time, Jonathan’s subordinate
climbed the rope ladder downward and tied the rope around Jonathan’s body. Then, he quickly pulled them into the
helicopter.
From the beginning to the end, he kept a firm hold on her hand without letting go.
If he released his grip, she would fall from the air.
When they were inside the helicopter, Rosalie noticed countless traces of blood on his body. It could be from the
broken stones during the collapse.
After all, he was wearing nothing above his waist. His body was pressed directly on the rough, cracked ground full of
broken stones. That meant his body was rubbing roughly against those sharp stones. Rosalie could only imagine the
pain he must have endured then.
However, he stretched out his hand and desperately pressed on her bleeding neck. “Rosie, I won’t let you get hurt.
We’re heading to the hospital right now. You’ll be okay.”
His face was covered in tears, and his eyes were scarlet. Paired with his blood-stained body, he seemed to
be in a more severe state.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but he interrupted, “Stop talking. You can ask whatever you
want after you arrive at the hospital, and the doctor stops your bleeding. I’ll tell you everything.”
The helicopter soon arrived at the hospital. Even though Jonathan was covered in wounds, he still held Rosalie
tightly and ran directly to the operating room that had already been contacted beforehand. When Rosalie was
moved into the operating room, the last scene that entered her vision was Jonathan’s miserable silhouette and his
pale, dirty face.
“He’s the Mr. Youngblood of Strico. How many times has he been this miserable?” She pondered. Yet, in her
memory, the handful of times when he was this miserable was all because of her.
“Mrs. Youngblood, we will give you anesthetics and then perform emergency surgery on your neck. If you agree,
please blink your eyes twice,” the doctor said to Rosalie in the operating room.
That was because it was not suitable for Rosalie to speak now.
Rosalie blinked her eyes twice, and the anesthesiologist prepared an anesthetic injection. Then, he slowly injected it

Her consciousness gradually faded, and her last thoughts were her pondering, ‘I wonder how Jon is now. Are his
injuries serious? After my operation ends and I wake up again, I can probably see Jon then.
I have so much to ask and tell him…’
While Rosalie was in operation, Lillian was also undergoing various examinations. Especially now that
she was carrying a child in her body, some examinations could not be done, so the doctor could only judge based
on their knowledge.
Lillian had never been so nervous. She did not care how many injuries she suffered, but she was afraid of losing the
baby inside of her belly.
“Doctor, is my child okay? I’ll do anything as long as I can save this child!” Lillian said nervously after seeing the
doctor frown.
“You are showing signs of a threatened miscarriage.”
As soon as Lillian heard the word “miscarriage,” she felt her limbs turn cold. “Miscarriage? Can’t the child be
saved?”
Tears gushed out of her eyes.
“This is me and Callum’s child! Why can’t we save our child?” Lillian thought, and remembering the truth Madeline
told her made her feel even more upset.
“If I can’t keep this child, I’ll never forgive myself!” She thought.
