I felt my hands trembling and I started to become jittery.
What will I do? I can’t stop Liam from taking Blade to the hospital because it might put him even more in danger.
“Are you feeling okay?” Liam asked me while we were both rushing to his car.
I just nodded at him as I pressed my lips.
“Are you sure you will still come with us to the hospital? You look exhausted.”
“Liam, can you please just take me there!?”
I couldn’t help but panic because I am so worried about Blade’s condition right now.
We followed the ambulance that was on its way to run Blade to the hospital.
What will I do? How can I stave off Liam from finding out about the bullet on Blade’s head?
The shivering of my hand and edges still lingered due to the extreme nervousness I am feeling.
When I felt my phone vibrate again, I immediately opened it hoping that this is Noah.
I answered his call after I turned down the volume a
When they arrived at the hospital, Liam rushed straight to the room where Blade was being confined, while Crystal began seeking for the doctor Noah had mentioned. She searches through a large hospital, struggling to figure out who Doctor Park is. She rambled everywhere and asked almost every nurse to find the doctor. “Where was my guard taken?” Liam hastily inquired of the nurse with whom he had crossed paths. She bent slightly in respect to him. “Mr. Spencer, the patient is currently in the emergency room, receiving first-aid care from Doctor Cole,” she said before proceeding to walk. Liam went straight to the ER and sat at the chair positioned in front of the sliding doors, his hands clasped together as he pressed it lightly on his lips. Somehow, Liam is worried about his chief guard because of the relationship they developed between the two of them. Blade had earned his trust, and he treated him as if he were his brother for a few mon
“Will the operation be safe? How big is his chance to recover?” Crystal asked in a hushed tone and still seemed confused about what will be her decision. “The possibilities of the surgery will hardly be 70-30, I can't say that I guarantee the success of the operation but, it will be better for him to undergo the operation while the bullet is still not sinking deeper into his brain. The damage from the temporary cavity that forms is even worse. There is no room for the brain to move and the shock waves often cause irreversible damage. Neurosurgery must be done immediately before the situation worsens.” Doctor Park said. “B-But… Can we do this without his consent?” The Doctor nodded at him. “Yes, as long as we get his parent's consent that the surgery will be performed. Because it is not just simple surgery, this i
[Crystal] “You are aware that Blade doesn't want to undergo surgery because he is afraid to die!” Noah yelled at me as he was fussing in his seat. The only thing he could do right now was yanked his hair and nibbled his nail because of excessive distress. “I know Noah, and I don’t want him to die either. If I wish for him to die then why would I choose for him to have surgery?” I became a little infuriated too. “The longer we take the decision, the shorter Blade's chances become. I am not trying to cut out his life, Noah. I want him to live longer. I'm scared that whatever Doctor Park has said will happen to him sooner.” I crouched down as I spoke because I could no longer handle the over-worrying and decision-making. I know we have no right about this decision, but I don’t want Blade to be hurt. I don't want to see him aching. “Crystal, I know you’re worried. And believe me, I am too. It was as if I were going crazy because of how worried I a
“Are you insane?!” His shrill shriek from across the room. I knew Blade would react in this way, and I expected him to refuse to carry out the operation. “Blade…” He moved his eyes to me, tracing the dread and rage in his eyes. “There is no other way to help extend your life. Because of the bullet digging into your brain, your condition worsens over time... Please, just do it for yourself.” I pleaded with him and went over to make him feel better by holding his hand. “No. Even if this bullet gradually kills me over time I accept it. What matters is that I at least have a little more time than to lie down in a bed and trust the doctors with my life hoping that there will be another tomorrow, but the truth is, that will be the last day.” His brows angled up and only his eyes were straight at me. “Thank you for your concern Crystal, but right now, prolonging my life is not my biggest priority.” Blade removed my hand from his grip and shifted his at
Noah insisted on taking me home first because I had to rest. No matter how much I pleaded with him to let me stay in the hospital, he hardly refused. I was even dragged into the car by someone he called. I don't want to return to this place full of horrible people just yet. I want to calm down and gather my thoughts before facing them. I took a deep breath and sighed loudly. I was under the expectation that everything would be simple. When I decided to take on the Spencer family, I assumed it would be a piece of cake. That all I would have to do was to expose their family's hidden stench and exploit it to bring them down and humiliate them in front of the public. I had not anticipated such a terrible situation.
When Crystal collapsed and fumbled into the ground, Sam was frightened and instantly rushed towards her. “Crystal !? Crystal wake up!” He yelled as he shook her to wake up. “Help!” he patted Crystal's cheek to bring her into consciousness. The helpers and guards immediately came to help them as they heard Sam’s loud cry for help. Liam and Maddison were also alerted and woke up to the noise that had occurred. “What the fuck happened in here?”Liam irritatedly shouted because of the mob. When they lifted Crystal off the ground, he was taken aback. “What happened to Crystal!?” he shouted in panic at Sam who is now restless and nervous.
Noah entered the room where Crystal was resting. He approached her slowly and felt as he got closer and closer, his footsteps became heavier. Noah sat on Crystal's side and slid his hand on hers. He let out a deep sigh as he shifted his eyes to Crystal. “Amara…” he whispered. “I have been longing to call you that again. I waited a long time for the right time for us to tell you all the truth, but we could not find the right time.” he said in a hushed tone talking to Crystal, even though he knew she couldn't answer. “I thought… When you find out, that will be the end of my situation. I thought that you just need to know that you are Amara, then everything will come into place.” He gently bowed his head and his eyes hit Crystal's hand. He smiled full of bitterness and pain. “I guess… happy ever after doesn't come so easily." The whole area was silent for a long time and Noah was just stunned by the absence. When his phone rang, it brought him ba
[Crystal] “Aaah…” I let out a groan because of the headache and drowsiness I am feeling, keeping my eyes shut. Though I find it hard to move my body, I struggled to slowly lift my hand towards my head as I feel as if it it cracking inside. “Feeling a headache and dizziness is normal, Mrs. Spencer. I am glad that you're finally awake.” It was as if faster than light, my eyes were unlocked because of the voice I heard. My vision was still a bit blurry so I blinked as I slowly got up. “Don't force yourself, I'll raise the head of your bed so you can position yourself properly.” I felt the back of my head slowly lifted. “D-Doctor Park…” I said weakly as I saw him standing beside me. I wandered my eyes around the room and noticed I was in the hospital again. These days, my chest pains and headaches have become more frequent. So I was not surprised to wake up in the hospital bed again. “W-Wai
