Chapter 899: Death Depression!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, Jordan was still downstairs calling Victoria’s colleagues and friends. Suddenly, he heard two gunshots.
Slam!
Jordan’s phone instantly fell to the ground.
Almost immediately, Jordan realized that something bad must have happened!
He did not even bother to take the stairs. He jumped up to the second floor and rushed to Victoria’s room.
!!
But it was too late.
The image of Victoria lying in a pool of blood filled his vision.
Jordan had dreamed of this scene before.
He was a Deity. No matter how ridiculous the dream was, it would eventually become reality.
Just like Jordan and Hailey’s beach wedding. Jordan had tried to stop it, but he could not escape fate.
He knew that this would happen one day.
Therefore, he placed his most capable subordinate, the world’s strongest Dragon, by Victoria’s side 24/7.
Not long ago, he was in a war between the eight great families and was caught in the most difficult fight he ever had and almost died. He didn’t call Dragon over to help him then. Instead, he let him stay by Victoria’s side.
Because he was worried that Victoria would be killed!
But now, Jordan knew that Victoria had not been murdered. She had committed suicide!
She had shot herself!
Salvatore was trembling in fear as he knelt on the ground. “I’m… I’m sorry. Ms. Victoria s.n.a.t.c.hed my gun…”
Jordan rushed over and held Victoria.
At this moment, Victoria was still alive.
Victoria looked at Jordan and said weakly, “Hubby, I’m sorry. I can’t… accompany you anymore.”
Jordan cried. “Why are you so foolish?”
A smile was on her face. “In my next life, I don’t want to only meet you when I am 30. I want to meet you when we are still teenagers. I want to go to school with you and date you. I want to be your first woman. I want you to be my only man. Hubby, in your next life… remember… to… find… me… earlier.”
With that, Victoria closed her eyes.
“Victoria!”
Jordan roared in pain!
However, he did not let his sadness disturb his rationality. As a member of the eight secret families, he knew very well their medical standards. They could resolve ordinary gunshot wounds that modern medicine could not.
To the people of the eight secret families, being shot did not mean death at all!
Previously, Park Chan-young had also been shot by Jordan. It was like a small injury that healed soon.
Jordan quickly picked Victoria up and said, “Victoria, you won’t die. I’ll save you. We don’t have to wait for our next life. We can be together forever in this life!”
Jordan decided that as long as he could save Victoria, he wouldn’t even want Lauren anymore. He only wanted Victoria!
Since Victoria hoped for a monogamous relations.h.i.+p with him, Jordan would give her all of himself!
Carrying Victoria, Jordan immediately went downstairs and transported her to the Steele family’s secret medical laboratory as quickly as possible.
The Steele family’s most elite doctor treated Victoria as quickly as possible.
Jordan and Lauren waited outside the operating theater. Lauren was very anxious, not knowing if Victoria would survive.
However, Jordan was confident in the Steele family’s medical skills. He knew that Victoria wouldn’t die!
A few hours later, Dr. Tanner, who was in charge of this surgery, walked out.
“How is it, Dr. Tanner?”
Dr. Tanner took off his mask, his expression grim. “Master, we removed the bullets from Ms. Victoria’s body. Her wound is also being treated and is healing quickly.”
Jordan was overjoyed. “I knew it. A mere gunshot wound is not a problem for our eight great families! Has Victoria woken up? I want to go in and talk to her!”
Jordan was about to walk in when Dr. Tanner stopped him.
Dr. Tanner sighed. “Master, the situation isn’t that optimistic. A gunshot wound is indeed a small matter for our eight great families. It’s like a headache and a cold. It’s not an incurable illness. But Ms. Victoria did not only suffer a gunshot. She was technically dead for a short period of time.”
Jordan grabbed Dr. Tanner’s collar. “So what if she was technically dead?! Didn’t you save her? You just said that her wound is healing quickly!”
Dr. Tanner said, “We did save Ms. Victoria’s body but she is suffering from a form of depression. It is the unprecedented ‘death depression’.”
Jordan was shocked. “Depression? What depression? My wife never had depression! Did she develop depression during the past two hours?”
Dr. Tanner replied, “Yes!”
Jordan was furious. “Nonsense! How can anyone develop depression during surgery?!”
Dr. Tanner said, “We wouldn’t dare to lie to you. Although Ms. Victoria was saved, she is determined to die. Even though her body has returned to normal, she refuses to wake up. We’ve never heard of such a situation before. We don’t know how to resolve it. Master, you’re a Deity. I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you to help us.”
Jordan was a Deity and could predict the future. He had previously helped Shaun develop a mind-transplant procedure.
Now, he could also help Dr. Tanner and his team develop a way to treat Victoria’s “death depression”!
Jordan hurriedly said, “What are you waiting for? Let’s start immediately!”
Jordan immediately conducted a series of experiments with the Steele family’s medical team.
Just like that, a month pa.s.sed. Victoria’s wounds had long disappeared and her body was as smooth as before. It was impossible to tell that she had been shot. However, she remained lying on the bed and could not regain consciousness.
For the past month, other than thinking of a solution with his team, Jordan spent the rest of his time by Victoria’s bed talking to her.
However, he couldn’t wake Victoria up.
Dr. Tanner said, “Master, Ms. Victoria has become a vegetable who is determined to die. There’s only one thought in her mind, and that is death. We’ve used all the methods we can think of in the past month, but they have no effect at all. I’m afraid…”
Jordan grabbed Dr. Tanner’s collar and shouted, “I won’t allow you to give up! I will never give up on treating Victoria!”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Dr. Tanner knew how Jordan felt about Victoria. Even if there was no hope for Victoria, he didn’t dare to continue persuading Jordan to give up.
“Maybe it’s because our abilities are limited. Why don’t we contact the Geng and Rong families? Their medical team is of a higher level. They might be able to find a way to treat Ms. Victoria’s ‘death depression’!”
