Chapter 277: She won’t survive
Chapter 277: She won’t surviveAfter finishing the assigned task, the man abandoned the car somewhere in the middle of the road and escaped the place. He then reached the designated location and entered the tall building where Natalie was already waiting for his arrival.
"Is she dead?" Natalie asked as soon as the man stood in front of her.
Her eyes glared at the man and when she saw him lower his head, her anger erupt like a bursting volcano, and she slapped him across his face.
"You f**king loser. I gave you one task and yet you failed " she screamed with no ounce of mercy on the man who shiver down her gaze.
The man, after speeding the car over Alice didn’t get the time to go and check on her as people on the road started to gather and instead of inspecting the outcome, he chose to run.
"S-she won’t survive madam" the man managed to speak even though he was hell-worried about how the lady in front of him will react. He was confident that Alice wouldn’t last because the impact she received was too much for a fragile-looking girl like her. There was no way she would even make it to the hospital.
His words came out like a whisper but it was enough to soothe her burning heart. "W-what did you just say?" she asked authoritatively.
Sensing the calmness in her tone, the man took the courage to raise his head and look at her before answering. "She won’t survive madam. The lady was hit on her head" he said.
The evilness in Natalie’s eyes began to falter." Are you or it’s just a lie you are making up" she questioned.
Natalie just wanted to be sure. Just because he said something she can’t entirely trust his words. She needed proof, only then she would be at ease.
The man was about to use an alibi to sneak out of the situation but stopped when she instead speak up." I want evidence until then you won’t get your money"
The man gape at Natalie in shock and gulped when he watched her eyes again turn deadpan.

Hospital
More than two hours passed and finally, the door of the emergency room opened. Noah stood up in haste and crowded the doctor." How is she?" he asked. His eyes hopefully stare at the doctor.
Noah just wanted his assurance. He wanted to hear him say that his Alice was fine and nothing happened to her but the words the doctor spat out froze Noah’s entire existence.
"We can’t tell anything for now. The patient has suffered a serious head injury and being a doctor I tried my best to stop the bleeding but-" he stopped hesitating for a second.
"But?" it was Tristan this time.
"But we still need to wait for the patient to wake up. If she managed to respond then she is out of danger but if she doesn’t she might slip into a coma and I am not sure how long she will take to wake up again" the doctor didn’t want to keep them in dark.
When they brought Alice to the hospital she had already lost a lot of blood. Her body wasn’t responding but luckily they managed to revive her and even the surgery was successful, but still, the danger was lurking like a moving knife on them. It was now Alice who had to wake up within 48 hours and if she manages to break through the dark, she will be out of danger.
Noah lost his balance and stumbled back. He suddenly felt dizzy. The words came like a bolt shattering him completely.
Everyone was shaken by the doctor’s words.
"I would like to have a word with you" Taylor step ahead and it didn’t take to recognize who the man was.
Getting a meaningful look Taylor excused himself along with the doctor and headed toward his cabin.
Noah stood there like a frozen statue. The words that the doctor said kept replaying in his mind. He felt like standing at the edge of the cliff with Alice standing down there waiting for him.
He knew without her he would be like a corpse surviving the life he was given but won’t live. She had been the only pure happiness he had ever felt in his life and if she was going to leave him then his life had no meaning.
All the precious memories they created started flashing across his mind and with every moment he started feeling helpless. A sad smile appeared on his lips and his stiff body finally moved.
Turning around he watched Alice through the square shape glass window. He couldn’t see her that clearly as the nurses inside kept moving around making it hard for him to even have a glimpse of her but when he did, he saw her peacefully sleeping on that bed.
While his eyes kept scrutinizing her, he felt a hand on his shoulder, lightly squeezing it. Knowing who it could be Noah’s entire demeanor changed in the blink of an eye and he asked," Who did it?"
His deadpan voice shocked Tristan but he quickly composed. "We are still finding" he answered and watched Noah turn around and face Tristan.
While driving to the hospital Noah heard Tristan calling Sky on the way and also asked him to
She wanted to reach her hand out and cup his face assuring him that she was fine but felt restricted as her muscles felt tight stopping her from even stirring a little.
"N-Noah" she again called his name and this time his stature broke its stiffness and he finally opened his mouth.
"You’re back" his lips broke into a smile and a happy tear escaped from his eyes.
