My Billionaire Boyfriend

Angelina shook her head to get rid of these thoughts and went out to get her car.

On the way, Angelina explained, “Chase, let me brief you on my family’s situation. I was born in the Li family in Golden City My grandfather is “Hugo Li.”

Chase was taken aback.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Hugo was a famous big shot in Golden City.

In Golden City, there were two most highly respected seniors. One of them was HarperWang and the other was Hugo LI.

Rumor had it that Hugo was in the army forces in his early years and had fought for the country in a countless number of battles. He retired later due to some physical injuries before he returned to Golden City and settled down here.

All the people in Golden City respected him.

Angelina was really good at hiding personal information from others. Most of the people: only knew that she was born in Golden City Only very few people knew that she was Hugo’s granddaughter.

“My grandfather was injured in his early years. In the past few years, he had been suffering from a chronic disease. His condition was getting worse day by day. He has become bedridden lately too. I feel heartbroken whenever I see him. Hence, I want to invite you…” Angelina’s eyes were moist.

Her look made Chase’s heart quiver slightly.

For Chase, the word ‘grandfather’ was linked with a huge emotional connection.

Seeing Angelina being so dutiful to her grandfather, Chase nodded and assured her, I’ll do my best.”

Upon hearing this, Angelina’s face lit up at ance. “Thank you.” She beamed, her tears sparkling in her eyes.

After half an hour, the two of them arrived at a villa which was located halfway up a mountain.

The gloomy atmosphere in Angelina’s house could be felt right away. There was no one around.

She took Chase to her grandfather, Hugo’s room.

Chase asked Angelina to stop when he pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, a strong scent of medicinal herbs wafted into his nostrils.

Chase covered his nose and came to the bed, frowning.

He saw an old man lying on the bed. His face was pallid and his eyes were sunken. It was as if he was in a comatose state.

Chase looked puzzled.

Hugo was seriously ill.

Chase put his hand on Hugo’s wrist.

All of a sudden, Hugo opened his eyes.

Chase could sense a hint of viciousness emitting from Hugo’s eyes which enshrouded him right away.

He greeted Hugo with a smile. Despite being on the verge of death, Hugo remained vigilant and alert as he was once a soldier. It was rare and commendable for him to stay alert at this age.

Hugo was so shocked when Chase’s hand pressed on his wrist without warning.

It seemed to have swept away the suffocating aura that Hugo exuded a while ago.

Hugo couldn’t speak a word, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Chase looked at Hugo and said with a smile “Old Master, don’t worry, it is your granddaughter who asked me to come over to treat you. You don’t have to be lo tenised up and worried. Trust me.”

When Hugo heard the word ‘granddaughter. the guardedness in his eyes vanished at once and was replaced with gentleness.

Chase’s brows furrowed when he palpated Hugo’s pulse. “Old Master, are you a martial artist? Did you suffer any internal injuries in your early years and refuse to accept treatment? The blood in your system has already coagulated You are now practically a step away from death.”

Chase stared into Hugo’s eyes and added, “I guess just like all beautiful women who are afraid of getting a strand of grey hair, you are also afraid of getting old, right? You must be feeling so humiliated, don’t you?”

Hugo looked at Chase in amazement again when he heard Chase’s words.

Although he was unable to speak, his heart was in total chaos at this moment.

This young man told the crux of his problem all these years without any difficulty.

Hugo was indeed a very arrogant person.

In his early years, he had fought various battles. Despite being injured, he remained strong and courageous, Later, when he had left the army, he was too embarrassed to seek medical treatment.

That was the reason why his illness becam more serious.

Hugo’s family had brought a lot of doctors to come and see him when they realized that Hugo’s health was deteriorating day by day. However, none of them could cure him. They could only prescribe herbs to keep him living .

Living such a lite was worse than death For Hugo, it was but a torment.

In the first half of his life, he had fought as a soldier on the battlefield. However, in the second half of his life, he could only lie on the bed and live in humiliation.

In the past few days, he even had suicidal thoughts.

He had been resisting to take medicine. He wanted to leave this world as soon as possible.

Hugo’s face was blushing with embarrassment when Chase told the truth.

Hugo, who had not been able to speak, garnered all his strength left in him and let out a long, doleful howl.

He yowled, “Just let me die!”

He would rather depart this life than to stay in this bed for the rest of his life.

Chase looked at Hugo with a somber expression and took his Needles of Ruby Flower out.

These silver needles were as white as snow.

His fingers swifted in the air as fast as lightning.

The needle went straight into Hugo’s tendon.

Next, it invigorated Hugo’s circulation system.

He rubbed on the acupoint with the needles and revitalized the static blood.

“Do you want to die? Don’t you feel aggrieved?

Chase took a deep breath and said, “Listen up Old Master.”

“A warrior should end his life on the battlefield”

The needles in his hand continued to wobble “And surely, he doesn’t end this life on a bed.”

“You don’t have to worry about your condition since I’m here,” he assured Hugo .

” I will make sure that you will live a new life as a lively young man!”

Chase’s words were so powerful.

Hugo burst into tears when he heard the phrase ‘lively young man’.

Who didn’t want to stay as a young man if it was possible?

To carry a yellow dog in one arm.

And an eagle on the other arm.

To wear a mink coat and a dashing hat.

To ride with a thousand cavalries on the battlefield.

It was not that he did not want to, but he could not do it.

“This young man, if he could let me live for another year…”

He thought, “I, Hugo Li…”

“I will be able to lay down my life with no regret!”

At the thought of this, Hugo relaxed his tense muscle. While his strength sipped away from his body again, he gathered all his energy to mumble sincerely.

“I don’t want to die like this.”

He stared at Chase and continued, “Help me please!”.
