“Not tonight!”
I screeched, urging Bright to call the police again, this delay felt like being stock in darkness for centuries. I let my tears flow down my cheeks, praying in my heart. Felix came in front of the bullet which was supposed to end my life.
“Please save him, God. He can’t die like this
My sincere prayers eventually softened Heavens resolve, I heard the sirens of the police vans and ambulance moon, resting in cross firing it didat take them long to subdue the opposition, I held Felix’s hand and avoured him.
You will be fine, Felix. Please hang in here. We will take you to the hospital.”
A bleak smile stretched Felix’s brown lips; his pale face trembled my heart. He coughed up blood in an attempt to speak
“Don’t lie to yourself, Drielle. I am going but

A team of emergency rescuers arrived like the first ray of sunshine after a dark, long right, they immediately tended to Felix. Numbed by shock and fear. I blindly sprinted behind the staff, but they asked me.
“Ma’am, you can’t come in the ambulance with us. Please take a cab to a general hospital.”
Because of the terrorist attack. Bright’s car wasn’t safe for driving, and it was impossible to order a cab so late. So, I begged officer Nolan for a ride. He was so kind to take us to the hospital
When we reached there, Felix was in the operation theater for surgery, the EX doctor requested me for a check up.
“Miss Drielle, you were under attack, it must be terrifying. Please let me examine you.
Mr. Felix will be fine. Dur surgeons will try their best to save his life.”
Like a pro, Bright was able to discipline his emotions shortly, he took me to the examination room.
“Please stay with doctors, Drielle. I will consult Felix’s case with the hospital’s chist
I will arrange the best doctors for him.”
He left me there alone, hanging, I was dwindling between hopes and fears while praying for Felix’s safety. If he didn’t dare to save me, Icould be in his place, undoubtedly dead as my immune system wasn’t as strong as an aerospace engineer.
I didn’t want him to die and leave me indebted for the rest of my life. It would be better if he woke up shortly, and I could scold him at length fi
recklessness.
The doctors examined me and prescribed some medicines for shock and panic. I felt better after that treatment.
Felix’s surgery was long, and because of excessive blood loss, he needed blood. His rare AB–negative blood group was hard to find, it was Bright’s connection in the city that the hospital could arrange for tents of blood on urgent notice.

We were pacing back and forth in front of the doors of the operation theater when the red light narmed gi the surgery.
My bear forgot to beat as a doctor walked out and took off his mask to speak.
“The patient’s condition was critical when you brought him. Unfortunately, that bullet has damaged Mr. Felix’s heart as well.”

As soon as these words came out of the doctor’s mouth, I couldn’t help but scream, the low survival rates for such penetrating injuries pushed me into the abyss of darkness. The beat pulsating in my ears didn’t let me hear wlistever the doctor said after that. I could only see his lips moving with tiresome expressions on his face.
The four hours of surgery, blood arrangements, the doctors complete dedication, and my prayers, everything was in vain.
It was like heaven didn’t want to hear me anymore!
A lone tear escaped my eye to mourn Felix’s death when my body was jerked uncontrollably, Bright’s thrilled tone resounded in my ears.
“Felix is alive, Drielle. We weren’t late.”
