Chapter 713 Drake Is At Stake

Chapter 713 Drake is at stake

The two looked strange, "Why not?"

"One of you has become a father, and the other will become a father soon. If something happens to

you, how about children?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Flynn, Charles, Edwin, and Bard thought the same.

At this moment, Drake suddenly fell down.

"Drake!"

Sophia ran towards him frantically.

The same went for Bailey and Travis.

Coming in front of Drake, they could see that his body was riddled with holes, and Sophia's hands were

clenched into fists. If she knew who did it, she would definitely let them die.

They quickly lifted Drake up and ran towards the car.

During this time, Travis said, "Sophia, you must help him get the bullets out of him immediately."

Sophia shook her head. "No, the equipment on the car is not disinfected. If I do this, he will be

infected."

That's better than keeping it. It will take us nearly an hour to get to the best hospital in the city from

here. If we don't get them out, he will die at any time."

Sophia could see that there were a lot of bullets on Drake's body.

Chloe made a decision. "Sophia, don't think so much, if you want Drake to live, quickly take out the

bullets."

They didn't have anesthesia or anything like that. Did she have to take them out like this?

She found it hard to do it!

"If you can't do it, I'll do it!" Chloe said.

It was not that Sophia was worried about Chloe, but she didn't think the latter could bear it.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and said, "Okay, I'll do it!"

There were scissors and tweezers in the car, and Travis gave her a lighter to sterilize these two tools

as much as possible.

Sophia had done many cruel things in her life, but this was definitely the cruelest one.

She put the burnt tweezers on Drake's body and tried to remove the bullets as quickly as possible, but

the moment she put it on, she could feel Drake's pain.

She couldn't bear it!

Chloe stretched out her hand anxiously, "Sophia, let me do it!"

"No, I can do it!"

Sophia closed her eyes and with a bit of effort, she managed to extract one of the bullets.

Although Drake didn't make a sound of pain, his expression changed, indicating that he was in agony.

Chloe used tissues to help stop the bleeding.

With the experience from the first bullet extraction, it became relatively easier for Sophia to remove

eight bullets.

During this process, Drake woke up once due to extreme pain. Sophia explained why she had to do

this and he comforted her by telling her not to worry.

However, later on, he passed out again.

Sophia looked outside and asked, "How much longer until we reach the hospital?"

"Twenty minutes!"

The car was driving at breakneck speed; they even ran through some red lights along the way.

Twenty minutes later...

Drake was rushed into surgery room.

Sophia slumped onto a chair in exhaustion while Helena.

Aria and Chloe stayed by her side for support.

"Sis! My brother will be okay! He's got luck," Aria said reassuringly.

Sophia didn't know how to respond; since meeting Drake, she had never seen him suffer such serious

injuries before - would he really pull through?

The news quickly spread among their elders who rushed over anxiously.

Emma's face turned grave as she asked, "Sophia, how is Drake doing?"

Tears streamed down Sophia's face as she apologized, "Mom... Dad... I'm sorry... It's my fault that

Drake got hurt like this because I couldn't protect him properly. Please hit me or scold me if you want."

She even tried kneeling down but Emma and Baron stopped her, immediately saying, "What are you

talking about? Sophia, he is a man who should be protecting you; nobody wants anything like this

happening either way." Emma continued speaking firmly while looking at Sophia, "Besides, everyone is

safe now which is what matters most."

Aria added, "Mom, Dad, it seems like they were prepared specifically for my brother; they didn't even

try anything against my sister-in-law."

Emma looked back at Sophia. "Did you hear that? This attack was targeted towards Drake. Drake is

the head of the Riley family and King of Underworld. It's understandable that others are envious.

Besides, the assassination attempts aren't uncommon, so don't blame yourself too much."

Sophia lowered her head, lost in thought.

Emma continued to comfort her, "Sophia, you have to be strong now. The company may still need you

to help take care of things. Once news of Drake's injury gets out, we'll have to take care of him. All the

pressure will fall on you and you can't collapse."

Sophia nodded her head and said, "Mom, Dad, don't worry. From now on I'll take care of everything

related to Drake's company and even the underground kingdom with all my might."

Emma hugged Sophia tightly and patted her back.

Before this happened, she didn't think much about it; sometimes Drake made her so angry that she

wished she never had to see him again. But now that something like this had happened, she realized

just how important he was for them all - he really was their pillar.

An hour passed...

Two hours passed...

More hours went by but the lights in the operating room remained on.

Paul conducted an investigation and found out that many companies had pooled their resources

together in order to hire top assassins who would kill Drake, because they were still bitter over a

previous project where instead of giving everyone a share, he gave it all solely to Sophia which left

many people resentful towards him.

Sophia asked for the list of names involved in this plot against Drake; looking at it made her eyes go

cold as some names were very familiar - people who seemed friendly with them normally, but they

turned out to feign kindness!

They didn't even consider what would happen if they actually got what they wanted from him! They

were really greedy!

Paul called Sophia again, saying that news about Drake's critical condition was spreading online

rapidly, asking how they should handle it.

Sophia wanted wait until there was more news about Drake's condition before leaving, but those

people were so annoying. She would choose to deal with them first.

Sophia arrived at the Riley Group's headquarters where many media personnel gathered outside;

accompanying her were her four brothers who stood guard around her and protectively blocked anyone

trying get too close.

But faced with increasingly rude questioning from these reporters, Sophia stopped walking forward.

"Sophia!" Edwin sounded heartbroken.
