Love Contract
Chapter 246 Illusion (Part One)

"Ray!"

Selah shouted as she stumbled over from the end of the corridor. She held her son in her arms and said, "Ray, I'm here. Mommy is here. Don't run around!"

"Mr. Gu," said Jaime as he followed her. Seeing the blood oozing from Barry's abdomen, he shouted, "The wound is bleeding. Hurry up! Call a doctor! Quick!" Selah was also frightened when she heard it. She then noticed that it was Barry who was sitting on the wheelchair.

Barry's face was pale. He was frowning and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

Doctors and nurses rushed over. Together, they pushed Barry back to the operating room.

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry." Selah's lips trembled. She took a few steps, but Ray held her hand and stopped her.

"Mommy," Ray called out in a trembling voice. Through the gauze, he could only see things vaguely. "Did I do something wrong? Did I hit someone?" "Ray, my good boy," said Selah, who squatted down and touched Ray's face lovingly. "You ran into an uncle just now. But it doesn't matter. Ray didn't mean to do that. Mommy will take you to apologize to him. I don't think the uncle would blame you."

"Mommy, I'm sorry." Ray hugged Selah at once. "Good boy."

"Selah," Jaime, with a serious look on his face, pulled her up and reminded, "we should go now.

"But-" Selah was about to argue, but she saw that some relatives of the patients around her were pointing at her. They seemed to have recognized her.

"We should leave now," Jaime repeated.

"Mommy, please don't go!" Ray pulled Selah and begged in a sobbing voice, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much, Mommy!"

Selah felt sad. She hadn't seen Ray since he was transferred to this hospital, but.....

"Ray, I have to go to work and make money," said Selah. "I will come back to see you tonight. Be a good boy, okay? I promise you, Ray."

Ray reluctantly reached out his hand and held Selah's. "Mom, I won't sleep until you come."

"Okay." "Mom, don't work too hard."

"Okay."

After a short while, the mother and the son bade goodbye to each other.

Walking out of the hospital, Selah suddenly screamed, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu is still in surgery. What should I do? Ah!"

"Selah, you have to react faster next time," Jaime teased her. "I already told the nurse that we'll come see Mr. Gu when he wakes up. We don't have time to keep him company right now. "Okay. I understand." Selah nodded, but deep inside, she thought she was doomed.

'You left your son and a man you could not mess with in the same hospital. Selah, what should you do?' Selah thought to herself while biting her lips.

A week after the release of "Be Together", the box office had already exceeded 200 million. Although there were mixed praises and reviews from different audiences, it was undeniable that the movie was success.

Mary was overjoyed. As a result, she promised to invite everyone to dinner.

Now, both employees from AJ Group and GM Universing Studios were all waiting for her eagerly. Mary did not know what to do at first. She thought for a long time before holding the celebration party. Her team worked hard to print and send the party invitations. Everything was well-prepared. Nothing could go wrong.

In the CEO's office of AJ Group, William looked at the invitation and burst into laughter.

"Mr. Lan, what... what's wrong?" asked Virgil curiously.

"Nothing, nothing." William waved his hand to Virgil. He could imagine Mary's cute face while she was preparing the invitations.

"Then I'll go out first."

"Okay." William nodded. Now that Mary had invited him, should he at least bring a gift?

At the thought of this, William came up with an idea. He finished his work early and rushed to the shopping mall.

Walking on an aisle lined with boutiques of evening gowns and dresses, William had already felt a little crazy. He had gone to two stores already but he could not replace anything interesting. He'd better ask someone to send them home directly, but that would seem insincere! It was annoying!

"Oh, boss, I won't go!"

On the other side, two women in front of the shopping mall were struggling whether to buy a dress or not. These women were Jazlyn and Aisha.

"Who will help me decide my outfit if you don't go?" Aisha stood still, stared at Jazlyn, and added, "We both are going! You have to buy a dress too! You have to wear one! We are now reporters of Entertainment Weekly now. Do you understand? Are you going to the celebration party in jeans and T-shirt? You're crazy!"

"Why not? Reporters are always like that," Jazlyn muttered. "I'm really not used to wearing dresses."

"In our circle, we should not only be good at fighting and killing, but also be wise to use our charm when necessary!" With a look of disappointment, Aisha said to Jazlyn, "This is to cultivate your professionalism. Hurry up! Let's go!

"Ah!" Jazlyn groaned to the sky with frustration. On the other hand, Aisha dragged her into the mall.

Looking at those dresses that hardly covered anything, Jazlyn wrinkled her face.

However, Aisha looked around and asked her to try on some dresses she had chosen for her. Jazlyn had no choice but to enter the fitting room with four or five dresses at once. Inside the Chanel store, an evening dress was displayed at the center of the showcase. The dress looked conservative from the front, with a straight neckline to the collarbone.

But from the back, there was a different view. The dress had a backless design. The long sleeves had hollow and dark flowers which seemed to have an endless sense of mystery. Moreover, the high waist corset was matched with a long fishtail skirt.

The simple cut without additional embellishments would completely rely on the curve of the person wearing it to highlight her beauty and body. The dress would require the woman to have certain aura and curves to hold the design of this dress. Otherwise, its advantages would become its disadvantages.

Mary must be very beautiful in this dress.

William stood in front of the showcase while smiling faintly. He imagined how Mary would look after putting the dress on.

"Mr. Lan, how are you?" The store manager approached him and smiled. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, that dress," said William, as he pointed at the dress he had seen. "Change the sizes according to the data I'll give you. Send it to my home tomorrow night. Please charge the payment from my company's account. Here is the data. Mary?"

As he spoke, William glanced at the woman in front of the showcase. If that was not Mary, who could it be? She was dressed in black today and it looked very cool on her!

Aisha stood in front of the shop as she stared at the dress, her eyes full of joy and satisfaction.

"Hold on." With a smile at the corners of his mouth, William walked slowly towards the door. "Do you also like this dress?"

Aisha was taken aback when someone spoke to her suddenly. She turned to look at the man who had just talked. He was the handsome man she had met in Silverland Mall that day! "Why are you silent?" With a gentle smile on his face, William added, "We really have the same taste."

Aisha swallowed her saliva and thought, 'This handsome guy is smiling at me! Oh my! I can't stand it anymore. I want to throw myself at him!

"Yep," Aisha responded and nodded calmly. "This dress is very beautiful."

"Trust me," said William, as he gently tucked her stray hair behind her ear, "you will be the most beautiful woman if you wear that. Everyone will be fascinated by you!"
