Anthony had got up somehow and he charged towards Raymond with the knife in his hand . But as Akira luckily saw him getting up she shouted and Raymond just turned in the nick of time . But before he could perceive what was happening around, the steel seared through his arm .
The color red spread everywhere . Akira felt like her insides were pulled out . She screamed again .
Before Raymond could register any pain he just saw Anthony with a knife in his hand . So this time instead of simply pus.h.i.+ng him, he kicked him hard . He s.n.a.t.c.hed the knife out of his hand and threw it far away .
Then Raymond dragged Anthony and took him near the bas.e.m.e.nt storeroom and locked him inside . Then he called the security of the building immediately and ask them to take care of him .
Raymond then rushed back to Akira to check if she was ok . But Akira"s face was filled with horror . Even though the person who was injured right now was Raymond, but it looked like she had taken the hit . Akira immediately took out a scarf from her bag and tied it around Raymond"s injured arm to stop the bleeding . He was bleeding profusely and was losing a lot of blood . She could clearly see that he was in severe pain but instead of worrying about himself he was still concerned about her . For a moment she couldn"t think of anything else so she immediately took his other hand and pulled him inside her car and drove like a maniac towards the nearest hospital .
When they were about to reach the hospital, Raymond has already lost a lot of blood and he had started to feel a bit dizzy . Seeing Raymond in such a condition, Akira was heartbroken and started blaming herself for everything . By the time they reached the hospital, Raymond was unconscious in the car so Akira rushed him directly towards the emergency section and called for help .
Raymond was immediately taken inside the hospitals emergency OT as his wound needed an immediate dressing before he bled to death . Since the gash was deep, he got around thirteen st.i.tches and was kept under observation . He was still unconscious due to the anesthesia which had been given to him .
While he was in OT, Akira was pacing around like she had lost the grip of the world . She called up her brother Mike and told him that she would be late and then she sent a mail to Chloe and told her everything about today"s incident . She requested her to contact someone from Raymond"s family . Only after he was s.h.i.+fted to a normal room, she felt a bit better .
After the doctor and nurses left, Akira went close to him and sat beside him . Seeing him in such a condition was breaking her heart . The guilt was making her restless . Had he not moved, Anthony would probably have slit his throat . She just thought about what could have had happened and a chill went down her spine . She thanked her stars and then took out a small "Ganesha idol" from her bag and placed it on the side table next to Raymond . She prayed to him with all her devotion as she firmly believed that he would protect him .
She kept caressing Raymond"s arm and didn"t even realize when she had slept off .
When Katherine got to know from Chloe that Raymond was injured, she immediately left for the hospital . She inquired about Raymond"s room from the hospital reception and ran fast as she could to locate the room . The moment she entered the room, she froze for a second .
Some girl was sleeping on a chair holding her brother"s arm . She went close and noticed that his arm and the sheet was all wet from her tears . The brother that she knew was quite allergic to girls so she was literally shocked to find a girl next to him and the way she had cried it seemed like she was really close to him .
She inspected Raymond"s wound, talked to an attending nurse outside the room and was a.s.sured after knowing that he would recover in 1-2 days . She returned back to the room and took a seat opposite to hers and didn"t say a word . She didn"t want to wake up the girl .
But Katherine couldn"t contain her curiosity so texted Chloe and asked her about the girl . When she got to know that Raymond was her mentor and she was just an intern who had joined that very day, she was surprised . She couldn"t believe what she was hearing . This girl was something .
Approximately 1 hour later Akira got up because of the buzzing sound of her phone . But before she could pick up the phone she saw that she was not alone in the room . There was a lady in front of her sitting with an air of majesty around her .
"Hi, I am Katherine . I am Raymond"s sister", she introduced herself seeing the surprised look on Akira"s face .
"Oh hi . I am Akira . I am an intern at Raymond"s office", she said .
"I see . so what happened today exactly and how did he end up like this? And why do you have a cut around your neck as well? Did someone attack you both?", Katherine threw streams of questions to Akira .
Akira initially got scared thinking that she might be accused for this condition of Raymond . But then she mustered up her courage and said,
"It happened all because of me . A lunatic ex-boyfriend of mine was trying to threaten me and tried hurting me too . But your brother came in and saved me, but I was unable to save him back . I am really sorry that it happened . If there was any way in which I can go back in time and prevent it I would" .
"Hey don"t worry and don"t blame yourself . He is totally fine . I checked with the doctor"s and he will be fine in 1-2 days", Katherine said and tried to soothe the girl"s heart .
Katherine noticed that she was very sincere with her words and looked genuinely worried for her brother . Akira saw that Raymond"s sister was scanning her and she felt a bit awkward . So she said,
"I am going to check with the doctor . The effect of anesthesia should have been over by now . Will be back in a few minutes" .
Before getting up she saw that her tears had almost made a big wet patch on Raymond"s sheets . So she immediately pulled the sheet inside so that neither Raymond nor her sister could to see it . But little did she know that Katherine was already aware of it .
Akira left to find the doctor . but just a few seconds later Raymond slowly started getting is consciousness back . His head was aching and he was feeling all groggy . Katherine immediately rushed next to him and said,
"Hey hey lay down . Everything is fine . You are at the hospital and recovering from anesthesia . Take rest as your body needs it in plenty . I am here . everything is fine . "
Raymond didn"t reply a word and Katherine could see that his eyes were searching for something or someone . specifically .
