CHAPTER TWENTY SIX : TURN OF THE TIDE
“I-is she having a heart attack or something?” asked Richard. He’s almost stuttering getting his tongue tangled up when he saw Elaine having difficulty trying to catch her breath.
If Tan had his way, he wanted to kill Richard right then and there. But he let him run away because of fear when he saw his burning glare.
He knew better. Elaine wasn’t having a heart attack, she just felt like she was having one. Her eyes were out of focus, she looked like she was separated from her surroundings while extreme fear was clear from her enlarged eyes.
With such a heavy heart Tan sat beside Elaine. He took her hands that’s holding her chest. Her hand was cold to the touch. It was like he was repeatedly being punched in the chest as she held on tightly to his hands.
He wiped the tears streaming from her eyes with his thumb. He saw Elaine blink. She stared at him though still without focus.
