Chloe and the others managed to get Vincent to the hospital in time. He underwent emergency surgery and fortunately, the doctors were able to save his life.Chloe stayed by Vincent's side the whole time after the surgery, praying for his recovery. When he eventually woke up, she couldn't contain her happiness and tears streamed down her face."I thought I'd lost you," Chloe said, holding Vincent's hand tightly.Vincent smiled weakly and replied, "I'm not going anywhere."Chloe smiled and hugged him, grateful for his safety and their love for each other. That was a narrow escape from death and it scared the hell out of everyone."Where is everyone else?" Vincent asked, slightly scared that something bad might have happened to someone else as well."They are all okay. I will get them here." Chloe said as she gently slid her hand away from Vincent's hand and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.Chloe left the room and when she returned, Tasha, Lily, Samuel, and Eli walked in after her.

Vincent stepped out of his bedroom with Carlos. He could see everyone else was in a waiting position in the living room.When they saw him, they stood up straight, physically loosening up but Vincent knew that they were very tensed up on the inside."It became OUR fight since we all became a family. So if what you're about to say is that you're going to do this alone, that ain't gonna happen." Chloe said before Vincent could breathe a word out."I wasn't going to say that," Vincent told her."Oh." Chloe stepped back, "That's good then.""So, what are we going to do, Dad?"

He is the highest shareholder in Mr X's companies and his plan is to go from eighty to a hundred per cent. We wi

Time seemed to pass slowly as they waited, each minute feeling like an eternity. Vincent's mind was flooded with memories of his time with Chloe, all the moments they had shared and the bond they had formed. He couldn't imagine a world without her.Finally, after what felt like hours, the doors to the emergency room swung open, and a doctor stepped out, still in his scrubs. Vincent stood up, his heart pounding in his chest."How is she? Is she going to be okay?" Vincent asked, his voice filled with desperation.The doctor's face softened as he looked at Vincent. "She's stable now," he said, his tone reassuring. "The bullet narrowly missed any vital organs. She's going to need surgery to remove it, but she's strong, and we expect her to make a full recovery."Relief washed over Vincent, the weight lifting off his shoulders. He thanked the doctor profusely, gratitude filling his eyes. They were given permission to see Chloe, but only one person at a time, due to limited visiting hours.
