Chapter 121
Ryan’s breath came out sharp and fast as the car skidded to a stop. For a second, the world felt strange and quiet. Too quiet. Even the gunshots seemed to stop. Ava lay across his lap, her breathing slow, her skin cold, her blood soaking through his shirt.Clara was crying silently beside her, her hands shaking as she held Ava’s arm. Ryan’s uncle and Rocas scanned the shadows outside, ready to fight again.Ryan swallowed hard, forcing the panic down. Not now… not her… not like this.The shadows stepped forward again. Four men. Then five. Then more. They surrounded the car like wolves closing in on a wounded deer.A strong voice rose from the darkness.“Ryan… step out. Leave the girl. Walk away.”Ryan lifted his head slowly. Anger burned through him. “Over my dead body,” he said, voice low.The tall man stepped into the light. He was smiling. A cruel smile. “That can be arranged.”Clara gasped and pressed her hand harder over Ava’s wound. “Ryan… she’s bleeding more… she’s gettin

The moment they reached the hospital, everything became hot and noisy. Nurses were shouting, doctors were rushing, and people were moving around with stretchers. Ryan jumped down from the car with Ava in his arms. She was not moving, and her skin looked too pale. His heart beat fast like it wanted to break his chest.“Please help her! She is bleeding!” Ryan shouted.Two nurses ran to him with a stretcher. They lifted Ava carefully and placed her on it. Ryan tried to follow them inside the emergency room, but one nurse stretched her hand out.“Sir, you cannot enter. Please stay outside,” she said.“But she needs me! Please let me go with her!” Ryan begged, his voice shaking.The nurse shook her head. “We will take care of her. You need to wait.”Before Ryan could speak again, the door closed in his face. He pressed his forehead on the glass, trying to see inside, but everything was blurry. He felt powerless. His hands were shaking. His clothes were full of Ava’s blood. It felt lik

The hallway stayed quiet for some time. Everyone was tired and scared. Clara sat on the bench with her head down. Rocas stayed beside her, holding her hand so she wouldn’t break down again. Ryan leaned on the wall close to the critical care room, his shirt still stained with Ava’s blood. His face looked pale because he had donated blood, but he didn’t care about his own body. His mind stayed on Ava.After a long silence, Clara looked up slowly. Her eyes were swollen from crying. She stared at Ryan with a weak voice.“Ryan… what did the doctor say again? Is she… she is alive, right?”Ryan nodded slowly. “Yes. She is alive… but very weak. They said she needs time to fight.”Clara wiped her face. “I am scared. So scared. I don’t want to lose her.”Rocas pulled her close. “She will not die. She is strong. Ava always fights.”Clara sniffed. “I know… but seeing her like that… I felt my heart break.”Ryan looked at the closed door of the critical care room. He wished he could break it

The hallway felt heavy after the doctor left. No one moved. No one spoke. It was like the world stopped again. Clara slowly sat down on the bench and held her head with both hands. Her tears came back quietly, sliding down her cheeks without sound.Rocas sat beside her. He rested his hand on her back, trying to comfort her. “Clara… don’t think too much. Ava will wake up.”Clara shook her head slowly. “But when? Why is she not waking up? She always wakes up fast. Even when she is sick, she wakes up. Why now?” Her voice cracked again.Rocas kept quiet. He didn’t know the answer. He didn’t want to lie. He only held her gently like someone holding a breaking glass.Ryan stood near the door of the critical room. He didn’t sit down. He didn’t blink much. His eyes stayed fixed on the small glass window as if he could see Ava through it. He looked like a man losing his breath.His uncle was still resting in the treatment room. The nurse had told Ryan he could visit him again later, but

Ryan sat outside the treatment room with his head in his hands. His mind was on Ava. Her bleeding. Her weak heartbeat. The doctor’s worried face.He felt like he was losing everything.Then suddenly—“Ryan…”A weak voice came from behind him.Ryan jumped up immediately. His uncle was awake, lying on the hospital bed with a bandage around his shoulder. He looked pale, but alive.Ryan rushed to his side. “Uncle! Thank God. How do you feel?”His uncle winced in pain but forced a small smile. “I’m… I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”But the first thing he asked was not about himself.“Where is Ava? Did they save her?”Ryan swallowed hard. His uncle’s voice was shaky but full of worry. “She’s still in surgery,” Ryan said softly. “She lost too much blood. They’re trying their best.”His uncle closed his eyes for a moment, breathing slowly. “That girl… she’s strong. She will fight.”Ryan nodded, though fear was still choking him.After a moment of silence, his uncle opened his eyes again and w

Ryan walked out of his uncle’s room with his head full. His uncle almost said the name of the person behind everything, but the nurse entered at the wrong time. Now Ryan didn’t know who to trust. His chest felt heavy. His eyes were red from stress.Clara was sitting on one of the hospital chairs. She stood quickly when she saw Ryan. “What did your uncle say? Did he tell you anything?”Ryan shook his head slowly. “Not fully… someone he knows is behind this. But the nurse came in and stopped him.”Clara sighed and held her chest. “God… this nightmare is too much.”Before Ryan could speak again, they heard footsteps approaching.When Ryan looked up, his eyes narrowed immediately.ERIC was walking toward them.He looked calm, dressed neatly like nothing bad was happening. His phone was in his hand, and he quickly put it in his pocket when he saw Ryan watching.Clara blinked in confusion. “Eric? Why are you here?”Eric smiled like he was innocent. “Clara, I heard everything. The shooti

The day moved slowly inside the hospital. Every minute felt like one full hour. Ryan paced the hallway nonstop, his eyes never leaving Eric. Eric stayed in the hospital with them, but everything he did looked suspicious.Sometimes he walked outside to “make calls.” Sometimes he stood near the nurses’ desk, pretending to read something. Sometimes he looked toward the emergency room door when he thought no one was watching.Rocas watched him with sharp eyes.Clara sat on a bench holding herself, shaking from worry. She didn’t even notice Eric’s strange behavior. Her mind was only on Ava.Ryan’s uncle was asleep in the other room after receiving his treatment. The doctor said he needed rest. Ryan kept checking on him too.But something kept pulling Ryan’s attention back to Eric.At one point, Eric bent over and whispered something to a man wearing a cap. The man nodded and walked away quickly. Ryan clenched his jaw.*He is planning something… I know it…*But before Ryan could walk to

The hospital hallway grew louder and louder. Everyone was crying or breathing fast. The air felt heavy, like something bad was coming. Ryan stood near the emergency room door holding his head with both hands. His heart was beating too fast. Clara sat on the bench shaking. Mrs. Harrison kept wiping her eyes, staring at the glass window where Ava lay.No one was talking. No one knew what to say. Pain filled the whole corridor.Rocas stood close to Ryan, his arms crossed, but his eyes red. He was trying to be strong, but even he was breaking inside.Then suddenly—A loud alarm beeped inside the emergency room.*Beep! Beep! Beep!*Nurses started running. Two from the left side of the hallway. Three from the right. A doctor rushed in with gloves in his hands.Clara jumped to her feet, scared. “Ryan! Why are they running?! What is happening inside?”Ryan turned fast. “I don’t know… I don’t know…”Mrs. Harrison grabbed Clara’s arm tightly. “Jesus! Jesus! Something is wrong! They are
Chapter 129
The corridor of the hospital felt colder than before. Ryan stood beside Clara and Mrs. Harrison, watching silently as two nurses pushed the covered body of his uncle-in-law down the hallway. The white sheet looked too still… too final. Ryan felt something heavy settle in his chest, something he didn’t have the right words for. It didn’t feel real. Just an hour ago, they were all hoping. Now everything had changed.Mrs. Harrison held her scarf tightly with shivering hands. Her eyes were red from crying, but she kept wiping them, as if she didn’t want to accept what had happened. *“My husband’s brother…”* she whispered, her voice breaking into pieces. Clara stepped closer and gently held her mother’s hand. Even though Clara was scared and sad herself, she knew Mrs. Harrison needed support.The nurses stopped in front of the mortuary room. One of them bowed his head respectfully. “Please… allow us,” he said softly. Mrs. Harrison nodded with difficulty, and the nurses slowly pushed

The hospital room was quiet. Only the machines beeped softly. Ryan sat beside Ava’s bed. He held her hand. She looked very weak. Her face was pale. Her lips were blue. Clara stood beside them crying. Mrs. Harrison held her hand. They were all scared. Ryan’s uncle-in-law was gone. But now their worry was Ava.Ryan whispered, “Stay awake, Ava. Don’t leave me. Please.” He brushed her hair from her face. He kissed her forehead.Ava’s eyes fluttered. Ryan leaned closer. “Ava? Can you hear me?” She whispered weakly, “Ryan… I’m… scared…” Ryan’s eyes filled with tears. “I know… I know… but I’m here. I won’t leave you. Stay with me.” Clara and Mrs. Harrison gasped softly. Clara whispered, “Mom… she’s waking… she’s alive.” Ava moved her lips again. “Don’t… let… them… take me…” Ryan’s heart hurt. “I promise, Ava. I won’t let anyone hurt you. Stay with me.” At that moment, the door opened. Eric stepped in. He pretended to look worried. His eyes were scanning everything. Ryan saw
