Chapter 48
On seeing the familiar car, Angelo stormed into the hospital in a blind fury.
The driver, confused as well, quickly shut off the ignition and followed him.
He had none of his guards with him at the moment, and they were not expected to be in a public place like this.
Angelo made his way into the hospital, stomping his feet rapidly against the tiles.
His eyes darted around in sheer urgency, his gaze icy and cold.
His abrupt entrance had caused some of the staff and the waiting patients to recoil in shock and fear.
One of his guards, who was just making his way out from a corner, on seeing the Boss, froze in his steps.
He made to step back in an instant, but Angelo’s eagle-sharp eyes caught him.
The guard’s eyes widened, and he quickly made his way over to his Boss.
“Boss, we…” Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Angelo took a step forward, making his way past him and towards where he was just coming from.
The guard, named, Kevin, stood there in a daze for quite a while, before he quickly shook his head, turning to go after his Boss.
He should give him an explanation now. He didn’t want him to misinterpret the whole issue.
Maybe, if he would listen to him, he might understand that we are always trying to save Don’s daughter.
Perhaps he would not be mad that she was brought to the hospital.
Hopefully, he might believe him.
Nevertheless, he walked quickly, sighting him as he kept stomping through the tiles, barging open every single he passed, looking for a familiar face.
At that moment, Angelo’s phone rang. The sudden loud ring pierced through the halls and caught him off guard.
He was still walking, as he reached out to his pockets and brought out the phone.
“Angelo speaking..” his deep voice called out.
A voice called out to him. A very familiar voice, causing him to stop in his tracks.
Kevin, who had almost gotten to him, was caught off guard as the Boss stopped, causing him to halt as well, his brows set in a tight grimace.
Who was on the line with him? His eyes widened for a second wondering if he should just speak up or run away.
No doubt, if he hears the news from someone else, and he eventually sees him standing there, there’s no guarantee that he would not hesitate to kill him on the spot.
Perhaps, he might not even let him speak a word in explanation.
While he contemplated the scenario, his gaze was fixed on Angelo.
The familiar voice cried out from the cell phone, causing him to clench it tighter. ” Angelo, it’s me, Eva. Please help me. I need your help..”
Eva?
“Eva! What is the matter!? Where are you!?” He was frozen in place, as he tried not to think of the worst possible scenarios.
He wondered if she was in the hospital.
His eyes stared straight ahead, at the closed ward rooms he hadn’t checked yet.
And just as he took a step forward, her voice cried kut again, “I need you to come to me, Angelo. They took me. You need to come save me right now. Please…I’m…I’m scared!”
Angelo gripped the phone tighter in his hands, “Talk to me, Eva. Relax. Tell me where you are…”
“I…I…they took me, but we are moving. We stopped at a hospital earlier and now I…I think.. they just stepped down for a smoke. We’re here, and I’m stuck in the car. Please come save…..”
“Eva? Eva!?* He yelled into the phone, but the line had already been cut off.
He felt his heart hammer in his rib cage. For a moment, he was still, and the next moment, a fire glistened in his eyes and he abruptly turned back on his heel.
His driver, who had also followed him, had stopped abruptly when he saw his Boss halt in his tracks.
He was more confused when he saw one of the guards standing right before him, in silence.
But just as tried to make a move, Angelo turned and was not making his way back.
He walked past Kevin, and the driver without a single glance at them, making his way out of the hospital.
Without being told, the driver quickly turned as well, going after him.
Angelo stepped into. The car and in no time, his driver entered as well.
“Drive. Now!”
” Yes.. yes, Boss…”
He quickly switched her Ignition ON, but then his brows furrowed, “Where to, Boss?”
*****
At the hospital.
Inside a ward, Eva, who was sitting on a mattress, tossed a phone towards a guard, as she stared up at him with a sinister look in her eyes.
“You will not say a word of this to anyone if you value your head. My father would be so willing to send a bucket right through your skull if you so misbehave!” She seethed.
The guard stood above her, his hands clenched on both sides as he listened to her words.
He could not believe he was in a situation as dire as this one.
If Angelo finds out about this, surely his head would be on a platter. But if he misbehaves either way, he will end up dead
The best thing to do at that point was to do as she had instructed.
“Good,” Eva nodded satisfactorily only, “Now, here is what you have to do. Find her…”
“Who, miss?”
” Don’t be so dumb, you fool. Find the guy, Elena, and make sure she is alone in the room. Get rid of anyone who stands in your way and make sure there is a power cut-off for five minutes. Five minutes. That would be my clue to come in. Is that understood?”
The guard’s eyes widened at the orders, but he had no choice.
He didn’t know what exactly she was planning, but he had a hint.
“Yes…Yes, miss,”
“Good. You can go now. Remember, if you mess this up, you lose.”
” Yes, ma’am. I understand…”
The moment he stepped out, Eva’s expression morphed into a sadistic smile.
She heaved a sigh of relief, as she slowly got up from the bed.
Her eyes glanced through her body, her hands trailing over her wrists, which she had almost sliced open.
Thankfully it was bandaged now., and she could not wait for the go ahead from the guard so she can begin….
