Semua Bab Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again?: Bab 81 - Bab 90

KATERINA The distance from my apartment to the hospital felt like forever. On normal days when there's no emergency, it's a ten minute drive. However, it felt as if we had spent an eternity though it had been seven minutes. With Lucas lying on the stretcher with his eyes shut, bloodied clothes, his lips tightly clumped together and his body unmoving, the distance felt a stretch of a million kilometres, each second that passed by a silent whisper of death looming in the air… “Please doctor, you need to save him. He has a daughter that needs him. He can't die. He needs to survive.”I cupped my hands as I pleaded for the doctor to save his life. It's not often that I plead for someone's life.However, this was different. We’re talking about the father of my little girl. The father of the triplets. “We’ll try everything in our power to save him, ma’am. But for now, you can't enter the emergency room. We’ll update you about his condition shortly.” The male doctor whom I didn't care to know

KATERINA The pungent smell of medicines and disinfectants hit my guts, almost making me choke. I hated the smell because every time I breathed in, it reminded me of how life can be fragile sometimes. It also reminded me of how many people that I have lost in the past years. And the people that I nearly lost. Sitting on the chair beside the hospital bed, I stared at Lucas who seemed to be in his own world. Unpredictable world where life is a gamble. He could lose it or…win. Uncertain. Oxygen pipes were in his nose, and the beeping of the monitor a constant reminder of the harsh reality. The doctor finished operating on him not long ago. It took two solid hours to retrieve the bullet from his chest and ribs. The doctor told us that the reason why the surgery was a little slow was because they had to be careful. The chest bullet missed his heart by an inch. It was close. Way too close. The ribs bullet fractured his ribs and scratched his left kidney, another risk to be worrie

AUTHOR'S POVKate took a sharp breath, not expecting it. Lucas was surprised too. He couldn't explain how he got hold of her hand. It just happened. Perhaps a reflex movement or something. The sudden movement caused pain to slice through his chest and the sides of his ribs. However, that was less of his concern at the moment.He decided to throw the doctor's cautions through the window just for a moment. He knew damn well that he needed to go back to sleep because he could feel his body giving in to the pain. However, she shoved the feeling at the back of his mind. Lucas knew too well that he wouldn't have a peaceful sleep because the thoughts that were buzzing in his mind would haunt him even in his sleep.Katerina looked at his hand which circled her wrist. It felt kind of warm or maybe it's because she stayed awake for hours, her hands and feet felt cold, that's why Luca's hand felt warm against her skin.Slowly, she raised her head and met Luca's eyes. They were a little bit brigh

Chapter 087 AUTHOR'S POV “ Was it you??” She asked with knotted eyebrows and Lucas nodded to her words. “Yes, that was me. I just wanted to check up on you. I disguised as doctor Darius to avoid being recognised. Stephanie has been keeping tabs on me all this time. I couldn't risk it.” He explained briefly so that Kate could understand why he did what he did. Katerina breathed sharply, the sudden revelation like a punch in her guts. She remembered the raw conversation that they shared. So she was the Katerina that he was talking about? Those blue eyes. The gentle touch as he tcared for her wounds as if he had done it before. It all made sense. Katerina felt as though she had seen those blue eyes somewhere. She felt as though his touch was…familiar. There was this weird feeling of familiarity. However, she didn't act on the instincts because Katerina thought she was just being paranoid. Katerina swallowed when she gave it thought. “The wound healed,” She shrugged nonchalantly, b

KATERINA I stared in sheer horror at what was happening. Frozen.My heart pounding wildly against my ribcage as though it would escape from my chest the next second. A man dressed in all black was pressing a pillowcase over Luca's face, suffocating him and Lucas was desperately struggling for his dear life. Kicking his legs and holding onto the man's hands in an attempt to pull them away. “Don't you dare move close if you don't want to get hurt!” He warned, his voice cold, chilling to the bone. He was wearing a black hoodie cap over his head and a black surgical mask. Hard to figure out what he looked like. My heart jumped to my throat, his menacing voice sending a cold shiver down my spine. I looked at Lucas who was still fighting back, however, I could tell that he was giving in, hopeless, drained of the energy.I had to do something. Just anything.I reached for the emergency button on the wall, my hands shaky and I pressed on it harder than necessary. I grabbed the empty pillowca
