Chapter 30_ My only wish 3

Aidan was confused on how to free Racheal from the bomb, the wires were all complicated and tangled.

Racheal could see worry in his eyes "Aidan what are you doing? get out of here this bomb can explode at any minute" Racheal pleaded stepping back.

Aidan pulled her back to him "this happened because of your stubbornness, now just stand quiet and let me handle this!" Aidan scolded.

The man stood up from the ground before hitting the gun on Aidan's head from behind.

Racheal watched in fright as he fell on the ground holding his head, "Aidan!! don't harm him!" Racheal screamed feeling useless at the moment.

Aidan saw the man approaching Racheal who was moving backwards till her back touched the railings of the bridge.

He got up staggering running up to meet them, but the strange man was faster.

With a harsh push he knocked Racheal over the bridge after she lost her balance. "Aidan!!!!!".

Aidan stood rooted to that spot, his knuckles cracked as he approached the man.

A punch sent him flying to the other end, the gun he was holding dropped down.

Aidan picked it up and this time he made sure the man died.

He rushed to the railings of the bridge, the water was too calm. could it be that she had drown?

Without wasting much time, he jumped into the water.

Racheal who couldn't swim felt herself sinking to the bottom of the water, she closed her eyes accepting her fate.

Before she could touch the bottom of the river she felt herself being pulled upward to the surface.

Aidan looked around, the river bank was nowhere in sight, and the bomb was still active he needed to cut the wires or else they might die.

He cursed loudly, it seems this person knew a time like this might come, the wires were too strong.

Racheal was already unconscious at that time, Aidan was left with no other choice but to detach the bomb from her body.

After he successfully detached it, he heard sirens and the sound of a helicopter hovering around.

A strong rope was thrown down to him, he held Racheal tightly as they were pulled upwards to the bridge.

When they were back on the bridge he laid Racheal on the ground "open your eyes!" he ordered.

He closed his eyes trying to calm his nerves, he started pushing her stomach to get the water stuck in her lungs out.

Racheal coughed out water and slowly opened her eyes.

There was a loud explosion as the bridge shook slightly.

Aidan held Racheal tightly in his embrace to shield her from the water outburst.

The police van reached the scene "block all roads leading to this bridge"A police inspector ordered

The medics arrived taking Racheal and Aidan with them.

Lyra helped Brian into his room and gently helped him to the bed.

She still couldn't believe that he was this hurt, it didn't seem right to her at all.

"why are you staring at me that way?" Brian asked to see lyra roll her eyes.

"I'm still quite surprised on how all these happened to you" lyra commented pulling off his shoes.

Brian smiled inwardly, he was going to use this to his advantage.

Lyra opened the list the doctor gave her earlier, when she went through it her brows arched.

'does this doctor want me to babysit him?' she mused silently crumpling the paper.

Brian saw her crumple the paper and threw it away, it seems she won't be easily convinced.

So he tried getting off the bed, falling down in the process.

Lyra rushed to his side helping him up back to the bed "what do you think you are doing? you want to hurt yourself more so I can turn to your nanny forever?"

Lyra scolded, ever since she came to the office today he has been acting weird.

Brian cursed silently lyra was still putting on that dress that almost made him mad today.

"don't worry about me, first go and change into something nice" Brian ordered.

Lyra smacked his arm "are you trying to say that my outfit isn't nice!"

She seconded while Brian held his arm acting in pain.

"oops I'm so sorry I really didn't mean to do that" she apologized stroking his arm softly.

Brian smiled and rested back on the bed, his eyes darted to her waist. She was still putting on that hoodie.

In one swift motion Brian pulled lyra to himself, she crashed on his hard chest and was left speechless when Brian roughly pulled the hoodie from her waist.

"you don't need this anymore!" he said tossing the hoodie away.

Lyra tried to get off his body but he wasn't willing to let go "Brian let me go" she wriggled her body his one arm around her waist tightened his grip on her.

His hand went into her hair pulling off the band that was holding it together before letting her go.

She touched her hair unconsciously, she remembered he had also done this before at the office.

"why did you do that?!" lyra seconded.

"I'm pretty sure the doctor asked you not to stress me, I'll have dinner in bed please send it in" Brian commented trying to divert the topic.

Lyra stormed out of the room in anger, that Brian always has a unique way of annoying her to the core.

Brian let out a sigh as soon as she stepped out, the phone beside him rang but it wasn't his own.

"this is Lyra's phone" he attempted to come down from the bed but remembered that he was supposed to be on bed for a couple of days.

He checked the caller, "Cole? why does that name sound familiar?" he ransacked his head trying to remember.

It suddenly dawned on him, "he was her boyfriend" he remembered how she kept on cursing Cole throughout the night after she got drunk to a stupor.

He wondered why he was calling her again, the phone rang for a few more times before he answered.
