She opened her mouth as she continued to gasp for breathe while still holding on to the dagger that was in her stomach.
“Just stay strong Kathryn, you can do it. Don’t close your eyes, please ” he told her as he weakly carried her in his arms, trying to take her away from there.
He looked back, contemplating on whether to take her back to the house they were leaving or taking her to the city hospital.
The city hospital was farther so he made a decision, he was going to take her back to the house but then on turning to the direction of the house, he realized or rather remebered something. He remembered that the first time they had come to the house, there was a secret password.
“Don’t worry Kathryn, i promise you’ll be fine” he told her as he carried her in his arms, on their way to the hospital. He had to save her!
Luckily, by the time they’d gotten to an intersection, a car was already waiting for them and the driver had gotten out.
“Good thing you’re here Eduardo. Come on, let’s take her to the hopitak already ” he said to a blonde haired man who happens to be Eduardo, the same man that had called a few days back.
“What happened sir? Why is she in such a condition?” Eduardo asked, his curiousity was getting the best of him,
Daniel stared at him coldly and he didn’t need anyone tk tell him that Daniel was definitely not interested in explaining anything.
They immediately got into the car with Eduardo in the driver seat and Daniel in the back seat with Kathryn. Blood had soaked both their clothes and he could only pat Kathryn’s head, urging her to stay awake and not close her eyes for he was afraid of the consequences if she closed her eyes… death.
After they’d almost gotten to the hospital, Eduardo decided to try his luck with Daniel again. “Sir tell me, what has happened to miss Rivera? ” he asked and Daniel banged hard angrily.
“Can’t you see? Have you suddenly become blind?” he asked angrily and Eduardo gulped. “When you see a dagger stuck to someone what’s the first thing that flies to mind?” He asked angrily.
“They have been stabbed” Eduardo said as he continued to drive.
“Exactly ” he said as he looked out of the window, waiting for when they would get to the hospital so they could start their treatment on Kathryn. By the time he looked at Kathryn again, he saw that her eyes were already closed.
“Kathryn!” He called as he continued to move her, trying to awaken her but she just wasn’t responding. Fear was getting the best of him, was he losing her? He was afraid the dagger had hit a very vital organ in her’
“I want to know who has done this” Daniel said with anger and hatred in his voice. “Whoever has done this world definitely regret it” he said to himself and at that moment, Eduardo hit the brakes.
“We are here sir” he said and Daniel immediately came out of the car, calling nurses for help so that they could get Kathryn into a stretcher before eventually taking her into the hospital.
“Oh my, what has happened to her?” A nursed asked as she stared at the condition Kathryn was in.
“Can’t you see she has been stabbed?” Daniel asked angrily as he continued to stare at an unconscious Kathryn.
“I’m so sorry sir, I’ll go get the stretcher now” the nurse said and immediately rushed away from there.
After having waited for some time without the nurse forthcoming, Daniel decided to take her in on his own. He put one of his hand under her back and the other under her laps as he carried her into the hospital.
The moment he got into the hospital, he saw the same nurse he’d asked to get a stretcher sitting at the reception and taking forms from other patients. He lost it but he had to act cool.
Soon, another nurse brought in a stretcher and they successfully wheeled Kathryn away into the operating theatre.
“Sir, we’ve taken her for immediate operation however we do need your cooperation ” the doctor in charge of Kathryn’s case spoke.
“Tell me, I’m willing to cooperate” he said as he stared at the operating door begin to close.
“Please , fill out the form in the reception area and please, make sure to sign” the doctor told him and he nodded his head before going to sign.
“I’d make you pay for what you did but not to worry, I’ll find other ways to make you regret your actions” he said as he stared at the nurse with hatred and anger, unbidden in his eyes.
“I….” Before the nurse could speak, he cut her off.
“I do not want to haar a thing from that filthy mouth of yours ” he told her angrily.
It got to a certain point in filling the form where Daniel had to pause. The question was, relationship with victim?
He sighed, what was he supposed to fill in? He inhaled deeply before ticking a box and then signing.
“Thanks a lot sir” the nurse said and Damien stared at her hatefully.
“Don’t ever speak to me or else you feel like regretting some of your life decisions ” he told her before walking out on her.
The nurse stared at the form and then passed it to the other nurse who was beside her. “Sasha, do you still want more money?” She asked
“Of course I do” she said and the nurse smiled to herself
” I’ve got a quick way for us to make money ” she said as she stared at the form
“And what is it?” Sasha asked
She moved closer and whispered something to Sasha who started smiling like a child who’d just seen Ice cream.
The nurse took her phone and when the person she’d called took her call, she spoke. “Spicy info for you… meet me at table seven” she said with a smile on her face.
