The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 439: What Are Your Plans

However, upon reaching the bay, Old K’s men caught up with them, attempting to eliminate them before they could reach the shore and meet up with the support team.

A fierce fight broke out between the two sides.

Alisa hid in a secluded spot, seeing Julian Hawthorne hanging off the side of the boat, one hand gripping another person who had already fallen out of the boat.

Meanwhile, the enemy boat continued to riddle them with bullets, the situation was perilous.

Alisa was frantic, why was Julian still holding onto that person? He was going to die!

Alisa shouted at Julian, "Julian, let go quickly! If you don’t, you’ll die too!"

Alisa didn’t care at all about anyone else’s fate.

She only needed Julian to survive.

Julian didn’t let go, and eventually managed to haul the person back onto the boat.

The person looked at Julian with a grateful expression.

Previously, when rescuing Mrs. Hawthorne, Julian acted extremely indifferent, even when the opponent had a gun pressed against Mrs. Hawthorne’s head, Julian didn’t even frown.

They had wondered then, how could he be so indifferent when his own mother’s life was under threat? Was he even human?

But after fighting side by side through thick and thin, they realized that Julian, despite his aloof appearance, deeply cares about what he is determined to protect.

Moreover, he has a strong sense of loyalty.

No wonder God Sterling fell for such a man, they too vowed to do everything to ensure Julian’s safe return to Veridia!

After two hours of intense battle, the boat was destroyed, and the group had to find the spare speedboat and each take their own to escape.

Julian was already injured, so he was carried onto Alisa’s speedboat.

Before the others could get on, Old K’s men attacked, and the others went to intercept them, leaving Alisa to take Julian and flee first. When everyone had escaped, they couldn’t find Julian.

Julian had lost contact with them on the vast ocean and Alisa was also missing.

...

Julian woke up, the light was a bit harsh, and he closed his eyes to adjust. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Seeing him open his eyes, Alisa said joyfully, "President Hawthorne, you’re finally alright, thank goodness I didn’t give up on you and got you out, God bless!"

Julian looked at Alisa, his gaze unfamiliar.

Alisa’s heart sank, "President, are you alright? Do you remember who I am?"

Julian withdrew his gaze without speaking, and Alisa became more suspicious that something was wrong with his brain.

She asked again, "President, do you remember who Paige Sterling is?"

This time Julian finally spoke, his voice a bit raspy, "My wife."

Alisa, "...", her expression turned a bit green.

Julian then asked her, "What happened? Why am I here?"

"You don’t remember what happened to us?", Alisa cautiously asked.

Julian frowned, "I don’t remember, where are we, why are we here?"

Seeing Julian physically unsteady, Alisa reached out to support him.

Then she noticed, Julian didn’t look at her with a rejecting gaze, nor did he shy away from her, and he didn’t vomit.

Alisa was ecstatic.

When Julian was unconscious, even touching him caused him discomfort, and he vomited a lot of blood, almost enraging Alisa.

So many men wanted her, she is the dream goddess of countless men, why is she the one who makes Julian vomit?

But Alisa didn’t expect that after a brief walk, when she returned, Julian was awake and didn’t reject her touch.

She deliberately touched Julian a few more times, and Julian didn’t shy away, showed no discomfort, even seemed to enjoy the touch.

After several tests, Alisa realized Julian’s memory was incomplete, likely due to a brain injury from the boat incident.

This was practically a gift from heaven, she would be a fool not to seize this opportunity.

So Alisa immediately said, "Julian, we ran into trouble and were hunted down, you got hurt in an ambush, and I’ve been fleeing with you. Thank goodness you finally woke up. You know, this journey worried me to death, just afraid something would happen to you, what would I do..."

She silently shed tears and hugged Julian, who surprisingly didn’t push her away?

Alisa was now more convinced that Julian really had forgotten some things.

She recounted the events that happened, omitting details unfavorable to her, emphasizing how Julian was finally safe all thanks to her multiple risky rescues.

With so much life-saving grace, she didn’t believe Julian would feel nothing.

Sure enough, Julian’s gaze towards her turned grateful.

Alisa was working hard to increase Julian’s affection, but in the next moment, Julian passed out again, and no matter what Alisa did, he didn’t wake.

Originally intending to develop a relationship with Julian here, seeing his condition, Alisa feared for his safety and decided to make plans to leave.

Struggling, Alisa left with Julian, but two men appeared from behind a rock.

One of the men with face paint asked the tall man, "Mr. Hawthorne, what’s your plan?"

Finding someone who looks so much like him to impersonate him, he was baffled by Julian’s intentions.

Julian’s expression was calm, "Even if she has the research data, she wouldn’t easily hand it over."

Truth be told, Julian doubted whether Alisa had the data.

After all, the whole base was blown up, and the data turned to ashes.

If Alisa had it, good; if not...

Julian let out a cold laugh.

Regardless of whether Alisa had the data, he didn’t have time to continue dealing with her.

He only wanted to return to Paige Sterling, desperate to see her.

Julian couldn’t help but touch his side where the protective system had been triggered and saved his life, though now it was defunct.

Paige lost track of him, who knows how worried she must be.

As Julian suspected, Alisa didn’t take the impersonated Julian to the hospital, nor did she contact Veridia, believing he would wake soon.

But a week passed and he remained in a coma.

Alisa was genuinely scared, afraid he’d stay like this forever.

She hadn’t gotten this man yet, how could she let him sleep forever?

She wanted to walk proudly hand in hand with him in front of Paige Sterling, to see Paige’s agony and despair.

With no other choice, Alisa took Julian to the hospital for treatment.

But the local medical conditions were limited, unable to determine the cause of Julian’s coma.

Alisa dared not visit a big hospital, fearing Old K might not be dead, and if she and Julian fell into his hands, it would be over.

Thinking it over, Alisa could only try contacting the outside world, though she didn’t directly contact Veridia.
