Seigfred almost curse when he heard the loud thud at the back of his car. They were already beside the street, who would dare bump their car? Seigfred and Atty. Yhera quickly got out of their car to check.
What they saw is a man in full black attire, with a full-face helmet riding on a big black motorbike. Before they could further move, the man took a gun and shot the two back wheels of Seigfred’s car. The gun was with a silencer. He then pointed his gun at Atty. Yhera. Before Seigfred could move he heard his fiancee’s scream and saw her, slowly fell to the ground.
At that point, the man in the motorbike already fled fast.
“Yheraaaa!!!” Seigfred shouted in shock as he ran towards his fiancee on the other side of the car. Yhera was almost lifeless when he took her into his arms and ran shouting for help.
A white SUV stopped in front of them and immediately the driver got out and helped Seigfred put Yhera in the back seat.
“Please help and drive fast and thank you for stopping,” Seigfred’s voice was shaking. He was not looking at the man who helped them but his focus was on Atty. Yhera who already fainted, with blood oozing from her left shoulder.
“Sir, Mr. Seigfred Yee, I know you, Sir. I was once your scholar and a former Student Assistant in your Marketing Department,” the driver of the car said as he glanced at the man, whom he owed half of his life. Without him, he will not be able to finish his Marketing Course and he will not lift up his family’s life. He graduated from college three years ago and is now a Marketing Supervisor in a car, spare parts, manufacturing Company.
Suddenly, Seigfred looked at the young man in front of the car’s steering wheel.”Thank you.”
“Caleb Sir, Caleb Francisco,” the young man said introducing himself.
Seigfred nodded and as he looked at Yhera, he could not control his tears. “Sweety, don’t leave me, please,” he murmured to her, in a pleading voice.
“Sir we are near now at the Metropolitan hospital, don’t worry, Atty. Yhera will be fine,” Caleb said with a prayer in his heart. He just loves this couple. The reason why he is taking now his first year in his bachelor of laws was because of his admiration for Atty. Yhera Khareel Munzana, the fiancee of his idol, Seigfred Yee. He actually planned to return to the Company of Seigfred and offer his services, once he knew that he is more than good enough to work in his Company.
When Caleb saw the emergency entrance of Metropolitan Hospital, he immediately pushed his car’s horn with urgency. They were attended to by the medical staff thereafter and Atty. Yhera was rushed inside the emergency room.

Seigfred made a phone call to his Executive Assistant when he remembered his car at the side of the road where he left.
“Chona, call my usual car repair shop and make sure that my Jaguar car is safe.” He then gave the place where he left it. He was just hoping that it is still safe until now. Anyhow, he was able to lock it using its automatic control in his mobile phone.
He was able to relax when Chona called after a few minutes telling him that the car has been brought to the casa already.
Sir Seigfred, I will go now. I will pray for Atty. Yhera’s safety and fast recovery,” Caleb said who was seating beside him in the waiting area.
“Caleb, thank you so much for your help.” Seigfred tapped the young man’s shoulder.
“You are welcome, Sir. It is nothing compared to what you have done to my life. I will be back here Sir to visit Atty. Yhera.” Caleb stood up and excused himself again before finally leaving.
Atty. Yhera was already in the operating room. Seigfred suddenly remembered to call Atty. Yhera’s mother.
“Mommy Lily, please come to the Metropolitan Hospital. Apology, but Yhera is here. I will tell you everything when you are here already.” Seigfred said when Atty. Yhera’s mother answered his call.
An hour after, Mommy Lily, arrived in the hospital.
“Seigfred, Hijo, are you alright? Where is my daughter?” she asked with worry on her face.
Seigfred stood up and kissed Mommy Lily’s right hand, “Mommy Lily, Yhera is fine. Let us just wait for a while.”
Mommy Lily nodded and sat beside Seigfred. Seigfred then told Yhera’s mother of what happened a while ago. A few minutes after, police officers and reporters came. Good thing the hospital was strict enough not to allow any of the reporters to get inside. Only the police officers were allowed to get inside to talk with Seigfred.
After Seigfred had a talk with the Police Officers, Atty. Yhera’s NBI Officer friend, Jim, came also after a few minutes.
“Seigfred, Mommy Lily, don’t worry, we already check footage of all the CCTVs around the area of the crime and we have dispatched investigators to track down the criminal,” Jim said as he sat beside Seigfred in the waiting area.
“Jim, I do not have a hint yet who did this to Yhera,” Seigfred said sadly.
“Don’t worry, we have a lead already and we are just making more investigations just to be sure, who did this to her. We are coordinating with the handling Police investigators, and I told them that I cannot just sit, and wait for their report. They understood anyway, knowing my connection with Yher.” Jim said with a bit of a smile while tapping Seigfred’s shoulder.
“Thank you, Jim.” Mommy Lily said, emotionally.
After a while, the Doctors came out of the operating room and approached them.
“Doctors, is she okay now?” Seigfred asked automatically when he saw the doctors approaching them.
Mommy Lily was waiting for the doctors’ answer with tears in her eyes now.
Jim was also waiting with hope in his heart that Atty. Yhera is fine.
The Doctors removed their face masks and looked at them.
