Palermo tightly clutched his side, where he felt the sharp pain of the wounds he had sustained while he was weakening. His back was also leaning against a large tree because he was the one who had taken the most hits, which is why he was bleeding more. He wasn't just weakened; he also felt exhaustion, and he knew his comrades were feeling the same. They were all completely worn out. Everyone was truly exhausted, but they still managed to escape before their enemies could kill them. In his mind, he cursed whoever was responsible for this. Frustration and anger consumed him. That's what was filling his heart. He also held his gun tightly. The intense anger was clearly visible on his face. Someone wanted to kill him, which is how they ended up in this situation. The pain in his mind made him utter a curse. He wouldn't forgive whoever was responsible for this. Anger and frustration were enveloping his chest. He also had a firm grip on his gun. His face was filled with intense anger. S

Palermo cursed silently when he heard her voice. Her voice was so soft and angelic, it sounded like music to his ears. He didn't just want to hear her voice; it seemed like Palermo wanted to hear how she moaned, and he was sure he'd be excited when this girl would be his partner. But damn! What nonsense was he thinking? He must be out of his mind! He managed to entertain such thoughts when his life was hanging by a thread. It seemed that he should not only have his friend, a surgeon, tend to his gunshot wounds but also his brain. The delirious thoughts quickly faded from his mind as a bullet struck his left shoulder. He felt the searing pain of the bullet burying itself into his shoulder. He winced in pain, and at the same time, the beautiful girl's mouth dropped open in shock. Another bullet found its mark in his body. Before he could collapse to the ground, the beautiful girl quickly approached him to catch him. "Don't die! I'm telling you, I'll skin you if you die!" She screamed

I took a deep breath to calm myself before hailing a tricycle that was passing by. I paid the fare, and then the driver took me to the corner where I could catch a bus. When I arrived at the bus stop, I saw a few other people who seemed to be waiting for a ride. Getting on a bus here is quite a challenge, and the tricycle drivers in our area only go as far as the corner of our village. I just sat in the waiting shed where some people were also waiting for a bus. Other vehicles were passing by, but they were all cars. I couldn't afford to take a taxi or use a ride-sharing service because I was trying to save money. Taking the bus was cheaper for me. I waited for a few minutes until I noticed a black SUV suddenly stopping near the waiting shed. In fact, it came to a halt right in front of me, and I recognized the car. It was my boss from the Vet Clinic, Chester Angeles. I was surprised that I hadn't realized it was his car when it stopped. "Come on, hop in. We can go to the Vet Clini

After a few minutes, Chester and I finally arrived at his VetClinic. He parked his car for a moment before both of us got out and went inside the open VetClinic. Other people were already in charge of opening Chester's VetClinic to quickly attend to the scheduled patients, and others were responsible for closing it once the work was done. So, Chester didn't have to worry about opening and closing his clinic, which he owned. "Good morning, sir!" Maria, Chester's female assistant, greeted him energetically. It wasn't a secret to me that Maria had a huge crush on Chester. In fact, almost everyone here knew about her feelings for him. But he didn't seem to pay much attention to her beauty. She smiled widely, appearing to be in a good mood. I returned the smile when Maria greeted me. She had a thick layer of makeup on her face this early in the morning, and her hair was freshly curled. It was pretty evident that she was trying to look her best to catch Chester's attention. After all, C

"How well did you sleep here at the VetClinic?" Chester asked me. I briefly glanced at him while I cleaned up the mess on the table, and he carefully administered insulin to Getty, a female Pomeranian with diabetes mellitus. Getty was taken care of by Manang Adel, one of the oldest residents in Agoncillo, Batangas. She owned the repair shops in our area. "Boss, I slept quite well because there are no ghosts," I joked, making him laugh. The truth is, I almost lost my wits last night when I thought I heard strange noises at Chester's VetClinic. I was about to go to sleep when I heard those sounds. I even thought there might be a burglar inside, but it turned out that one of the dogs had escaped from its kennel. Chester usually took in animals left at the VetClinic, and their owners often picked them up the next day. Some of them couldn't make it sooner due to work commitments. Chester also adopted abandoned animals and, whenever possible, we tried to find suitable adoptive families f
