I got the wound for kidnapping Erick. He stabbed me by accident... or maybe on purpose, who knows. What's clear was the fact the blade went through my kidney.
Coincidentally, my kidney injury affected my ability to have a child. It's lost forever. I would never be a father.
When the anesthesia began, I heard loud noises outside. I soon realize tt was Lizbeth.
My chest tightened.
“Where is the doctor? Check him! He passed out after getting into the car. Is he going to be okay?” she asked with worry.
“Miss, there are other people waiting for surgery. The clinic is not here,” a staff replied.
“Shut up! Say another word and I’ll shoot you! If something happens to him, this hospital will close! I mean it!”
A bullet smashed the glass of the operating room. The doctors instantly went panic and scrambled to get out and apologize.
Before leaving, one of them told me, “Sir, please wait. I will check on the injured man and come back right away.”
I lay on the operating table with a bitter smile on my face.
Lizbeth wasn't the woman she used to be. Now her eyes and heart belong only to Erick Wayne. I felt stupid for expecting her appearance in the hospital because she knew I got badly injured.
My mind grew fuzzy. I seemed to go back to when she first found out she was pregnant.
She held me and kissed my cheek gently. “Tom, I am so glad to have you.”
I kissed her back with the same warmth.
“When the child is born, we will move abroad. I had too many enemies here. I want a normal life.”
“All right. I will agree to anything. You are everything to me now,” I said.
The scene changed. She put a gun to my forehead, face twisted.
“I told you, he's different. He’s only a kid! Why won’t you leave him alone? I’ll tell you the truth. The child in my belly is his.”
“Tommy, this is going to be the first and last time, this kindnapping happen.”
Bang!
The gunshots rang.
Hundreds of my men, who had fought with me for eight years, fell in pools of blood.
“If there is a next time, this will be your end!”
The bloody scenes kept turning in my mind. She squeezed my beating heart in her hand, then stabbed the open wound on the left side of my chest.
“Where's Rick?”
“Tommy, you’re pushing your luck. So, don't expect me to show any mercy!”
“I'll leave this guy to your hands. Do whatever you want. No need to inform me.”
The piercing pain made me break out in a cold sweat.
