Colin pouts at the complaint. It"s not my fault Black Wolf went to some remote place! She must be embarra.s.sed, he thinks with a sigh. Well, it"s none of my business. It"s clearly stated that Mr. Aaron wanted to save Katrina because he wanted to pursue her.For the rest of the ride, Colin keeps quiet and focuses on driving. Aaron and Katrina to remain silent.
As soon as the car stops at the hospital entrance, Colin opens the door and helps Aaron out. Katrina grabs Aaron"s arm and rushes him inside.
The pain starts to take a toll on Aaron, and he lets Katrina hold him to the emergency room in silence. His skin is pale, sweat beading on his forehead. He is immediately taken into the operating room to have the bullet removed.
While Aaron undergoes surgery, Katrina waits outside the operating room with Colin. Katrina is scared of needles, and the thought that Aaron has to go under the knife makes her sick. This is all my fault, she thinks, hands clasped together. I hope he will be okay after this tragedy.
Noticing Katrina"s worry, Colin pats her shoulder in comfort. "Hey, don"t worry. Mr. Wilson will be just fine! They"ll take the bullet out, and he"ll be good as new! He is a fighter, I think, and brave enough to face this kind of difficulty.
Colin can"t help feeling relieved by the turn of events. Even if Mr. Wilson was shot, this is a lot better than Katrina getting kidnapped!
Before long, a group of policemen arrives at the hospital, with the captain in the lead. "What"s going on? Is Mr. Wilson, okay?" A sound of concern was added to the captain"s voice.
Colin replies, "He"s still undergoing surgery, but he should be fine."
The captain nodded. "That"s good. I can"t forgive myself if something is going to happen to him. We can"t afford to offend his family,"
All of a sudden, a woman runs to the captain in a panic, clutching his arm tightly. It"s the prost.i.tute from before. Stricken with fear, she sticks to the captain"s side like a leech.
Taken aback by the sudden reaction of the prost.i.tute, the captain is desperate to get rid of her. This is embarra.s.sing! Doesn"t she care about my dignity? This woman is really annoying. He thought in silence.
As soon as he shakes her off, she immediately latches onto him again. He starts to lose his patience and shouts, "Let me go! Why is she still here? Drag her away from me,"
Two policemen rush up from behind him and pull the woman away. "We told her she could go, but she wouldn"t leave!"
After the team took Black Wolf away, the prost.i.tute came to her senses and rushed to the captain in fear. Feeling sorry for the woman, he let her ride with them back to the city. Instead of getting a taxi at the hospital, she immediately rushed back to the captain.
After the policemen throw the woman out, the captain rearranges his clothes and barks, "Not a word to my wife, do you hear me?"
Everyone nodded furiously. "Yes, Captain!"
Half an hour later, Aaron is wheeled out of the operating room. Everyone follows as he was taken into his own ward. After the doctor a.s.sures that Aaron will make a full recovery, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
The captain stands in the front of Aaron"s bed and says, "Mr. Wilson, on behalf of the police, thank you for your help tonight!"
With that, he raises his arm and salutes Aaron. Everyone else follows suit. Even Katrina stands up from her perch on the bed and salutes.
The police look very serious and dignified as they honor Aaron. But the sight of Katrina being so formal makes Aaron snort in laughter.
Katrina glares in response.
Seeing Katrina and Aaron staring at each other, everyone else starts to feel uncomfortable. They knew that the two had something to talk with. They make their excuses and leave the room immediately. They are giving them time to talk to each other.
Once they are alone in the room, Katrina hits Aaron"s arm angrily. "How could you be so disrespectful? We"re expressing our grat.i.tude to you! Do you think we salute people so casually?"
Aaron quickly pulls Katrina by the hand and kisses her. He says in a low voice, "You want to express your grat.i.tude? Are you really willing to show me how thankful you are? You should know what to do. I am more than willing to accept the kind of honor you will show me back in the hotel when I recover,"
"Stop bullying me. You are well yet, and here you go again, thinking something naughty," Katrina sneered at him.
"I am always naughty when it comes to you. Baby, you heard me telling your colleague earlier that I move here because I wanted to pursue you," Aaron pouted his lip.
"Aaron Wilson, you are a child, remember you are a high-rank CEO in a big company, stop acting like this because it annoys me," Katrina wanted to push him.
"I know you are annoyed the way I chase you, but believe me or not; I am honest with my real feelings. I wanted to tell you how deeply I love you. Katrina, I wanted to ask you a chance, but you keep running away from me. You keep rejecting me again and again," He sounded like a little boy who was being ignored.
She glared at him and said, "Stop doing something that hates me so much, you often take advantage of me when you get a chance,"
"I just wanted to show how I longed for you," He looked at her seriously.
"I don"t like you, and I told you several times. Aren"t you getting tired of chasing me?" She asked.
"No. How can I forget you, especially those nights we spent together back to my Villa? I miss you so much, Katrina. I don"t know how I am going to deal with my daily life without you,"
