Chapter 72

Music Recommendation - Zoe Wees - Ghost

"Agnes," Maya shouted as she rushed into the clinic. There were hospital beds laid facing each other and some injured men were been treated by some nurses.

"Lie him down here," Agnes yelled coming out of her office and pointing at an empty bed, she motioned the bodyguards as they laid Jake on the bed, his blood gushing out and staining the bed as Maya reached out for the button of his shirt to unbutton it.

"Miss don't worry, let me," Agnes pleaded. She was surprised to see Maya at these part of the house, she wasn't one to use the house clinic, she would rather go to the hospital if she was injured, Agnes had come to understand that it wasn't because she wasn't good at her job but because Maya didn't want to feel indebted to Gonzales.

She wondered who was the young man they had brought but with the way Maya was hovering around him, it seemed he was important to her and whatever was important to Maya was important to Gonzales which meant she had to make sure this man didn't die.

She helped Maya pull out the button of his shirt while she walked to the corner staring at her as the bodyguards took their leave realizing their presence was no longer needed by Maya.

Agnes raised his shirt to check his injuring and found herself looking at his buff body, most of the bodyguards here were rip it wasn't a new thing but this man wasn't a bodyguard, well not like he needed to be one. She raised her head to look him in the face as he smirked at her, she smirked back but not with the intention to flirt but to keep him at ease.

Maya took note of their little moment and found herself hissing out silently but it didn't go unnoticed by Jake and Agnes.

"Well, you are lucky," Agnes said examining the bullet hole. "We just need to get it out and stitch you."

She checked the knife on his stomach, examining it properly to see if it could be pulled out or it needed surgery. It was a table knife, so she was sure it wasn't that deep but regardless they needed to put him to sleep so they could operate on him.

"We will need to operate on you," Agnes said and this time heard a low groan from the man, it seemed he was in pain but had been trying to subdue his pain.

"Well get me a bottle of something strong so we can get to work," Jake groaned lying back down.

"Alright," Agnes replied going to her office to get something strong and all what they would be needing to get the knife out as well as the bullet.

Maya moved closer to Jake, staring at his wet body and his ripped abs, behind that tux she could have sworn she thought he was all bones it seemed she was wrong. 

"Are you sure about the drink?"

"Don't tell me you are worried about me now?" Jake asked with a smirk.

"I also get scared of being put to sleep and being operated on," Maya replied.

"I am not scared, i just want to watch you," Jake teased. Maybe he was terrified of it but over the years it had become an habit that he couldn't stop, after a very deadly experience he had some years back he had suddenly not liked being asleep while being operated on.

His enemies had taken the opportunity to get to him, they had kidnapped his unconscious body, it was a terrifying experience, one that he didn't want to ever be in again.

"Here," Agnes said handing Jake a bottle of alcohol.

.................................................

Stephan stared at her as he sat down not knowing what to do anymore, he held her hand in his tightly, as panic filled him. Was this it? his baby? the woman he loved? was that it? She was just going to die like that. 

Now that he thought about it they barely got to do things that normal couples do, like going out on a date, picnic, going to the watch a movie and all that, he wasn't one to be do any of that and his past relationships never demanded him to do any of that.

The women in his life were less concerned by things like that but he was sure Dawn enjoyed the little things and he was going to give her everything he could to put a smile on her face but she just couldn't leave like that before he figure out himself.

No!

If he was in this situation and Dawn was him, she would have fought for him to stay alive, she wouldn't give up on him just like that.

He rose back up on his knee, he stared at her face as he found his eyes watering, he didn't care how he looked right now or all the eyes glued to him, he placed his hand through his wet hair brushing it backward so the water could stop dripping into his eyes.

He stretched his hand and continued to pump her chest, Gonzales stared at him not knowing how to address the issue even Travis had risen to his feet, Travis knew he was the only one feeling hopeless right now and no one else because honestly no one cared about Olivia except Dawn.

Gonzales signaled one of his bodyguards to come, he leaned in, whispering into his ear, the bodyguard nodded leaving them. Gonzales had decided to call one of his nurse to examine Dawn but he knew that the worst had happened.

Cough!

Cough!

Cough!

Water splashed out of Dawn's mouth as her eyes widened instantly like she was in shock, her hand reached for her throat like she was choking on something.

Stephan eye lit up as he immediately sat her up watching her vomiting water and all what she had eaten last night, he raised her hair behind her back as she continued to vomit.

Gonzales, Travis and the bodyguards lurking around stared at the young miss in amazement, they could have sworn that she had died and they were just waiting for the nurse to come and declare it already.

Dawn raised her head slowly to stare at Stephan, she opened her mouth to say something as he hugged her tightly instead, he planted a kiss on her forehead and lips then hugged her back whispering something into her ear, she stared around at the unfamiliar faces staring at her then she suddenly felt a sharp pain underneath her. She winced slowly as Stephan let go of her planting another kiss on her lips, he smiled at her placing his forehead on her head.

"She is bleeding Stephan," Travis took note of the bleeding because she was wet and had been unconscious she had instantly stopped bleeding but now it was obvious that the blood stain on her gown wasn't Olivia's or Jake but her own blood, Dawn winced loudly this time touching her stomach as Stephan took note of the bleeding. her leg was filled with blood.

"Relax," he tried to put her at ease as he could see her face slowly changing and the awareness of her environment was starting to hit her.

He rose to his feet quickly, carrying her in his arm.

.......................................................

"Are you sure about this?" Maya asked Jake as she took his hand in hers confused by his decision to stay awake and numb his pain with just alcohol, this wasn't one stitch but two and it also required them removing the bullet, Agnes placed all her equipment on a tray, she looked at the bullet wound closely, then started operating on him to get the bullet out as she could hear him groaning but he remained still regardless.

"Fuck," Jake groaned when he felt the scissor inside his skin, he took the bottle of alcohol and gulped it down with an irritated look.

"So why do you like being awake?" Maya asked trying to distract him from what Agnes was doing.

"Trying to distract me?" Jake asked taking another gulp of the alcohol.

"Maybe but i am also interested in the story," Maya replied. She stared at Jake as he stared at Agnes who seemed busy getting the bullet out, he could his skin tearing and the pain was going straight to his brain and he could swear he was getting tempted to shout very soon.

"Almost out," Agnes said.

"Shit," Jake cursed as his grip tightened on Maya, if he knew he was going to get stabbed and then shot he wouldn't have bothered to get into the water in the first place. he wondered if the woman he was trying to rescue survived because if she didn't it wouldn't make sense to him, it would mean all his effort had been fruitless.

"I am sorry," Maya said and she didn't know why she had said those three words she dreaded so much.
