"But Mr. Davis..."
"No but. Do as I am saying. Take her to the hospital, go!" Some men died and some were still fighting. Nick smooched Sanaya who was sleeping in his arms and then handed her to Kyle. The shooter who shot her was now lying dead on the floor. And Nick was gonna punish every single soul out there who wanted to kill her and harm her.
His men were shielding the way so Kyle could leave with Sanaya but just when he kept his leg outward, someone aspired to stab him.
Before the man could be successful in stabbing him, suddenly Nick protected them. He stood behind him and the man stabbed him in the back.
"Mr. Davis," Aiden whined. Kyle swerved around and seeing him he shouted out, "Mr. Davis."
"Go. Go faster! You must reach the hospital! Just go!" He shoved him out of the place. Nick could see her only one last time before Kyle drifted around and ran from there. Nick couldn't help but sit on the ground, in pain.
As Aiden ran to Nick, the bald man was about to tell his guys to kill him but then the police reached there. "Mr. Davis." He helped him to get up. Nick was bleeding, his shirt drenched in blood and his voice becoming subtle.
Looking at the police he sought and blab, "I... I am going to the hospital."
"Let me drive you there."
"No, you stay here and find out who sent them." Not taking Aiden with him, he hopped in the car and drove away, at a higher speed than he usually does.

"Doctor, please save her." Sanaya was getting in the OT when Kyle held the doctor's hand and requested.
"Don't worry, I will try my best."
They got in the O. T and the door was closing. Sanaya's eyes closed, the dress she was wearing was already bloodstained, and she looked dull. In a hurry Kyle took her here, he managed to but he was worried about Nick. He got stabbed badly.
Anxious, he sat on the bench, there was blood on his palm. Mona drove them here and went to the parking lot. Some time passed when he and Mona were sitting outside the O. T, suddenly they saw Nick.
Both were shocked as hell, they immediately stood up and ran to Nick. Blood was dripping down to his hand, there was blood all over his body, he had some cuts over his forehead and his shirt was torn as if he somehow outlived a car crash.
"Mr. Davis, how did it happen? You...."
"How's she?" Nick asked them, inhaling and exhaling heavily. Only the urge of catching a glimpse of her again gave him the strength so he could come here or he would have probably been laying on the roadside or maybe dead by now.
"She is inside. They are taking the bullet out." Kyle countered.
Nick stared at the ot room, blood over his forehead passed down on his face. "Mr. Davis, you need to get treated right now. Please come with me." Nick didn't give an ear to Kyle's words but he sauntered toward the ot room. Reaching the door he tried peeking inside, every second was passing and he was getting more scared.
As suddenly a doctor drifted out of the room along with a nurse, Nick inquired the doctor worriedly, "Doctor, how's my wife? Is she ok?"
"It's hard to tell. She is..." The doctor seemed to be meaning the otherwise as if she had not got a chance.
Before the doctor could finish his words Nick grabbed his collar and contended in a furious tone, "What do you mean it's hard to tell? You have to save her, do whatever it needs but you must save her!"
"Mr. Davis, calm down, please. I am doing all I can. Please, let go of my collar." The doctor struggled while pleading so.
Kyle and Mona ran to him. "Mr. Davis, please let go."
"You are delaying the treatment, please try to understand." A nurse tried helping him to let the doctor go but his hand on his collar was too tight that she failed to do anything.
Nick quickly let him go and requested him, "Please, save her. Please... save my wife."
As the doctor and nurse were gone, he sat on the ground, resting the back of his head against the wall. That helpless feeling was eating him, it was so dreadful. He could barely breathe, his fists were unclenched and shaky.
"Mr. Davis, you need treatment. Please go with us, you need to..." Mona insisted in an apprehensive tone but she couldn't get him up. He was settled there, gasping the air...
"Auntie Anna, Raina..." Kyle gazed at the people who came to see Sanaya.
Raina was sick worried so she couldn't just sit at home. She ran here as soon as she heard the news and along with her, her mom and dad, and Maxwell's parents also followed behind.
"How's she now?" Raina asked Kyle.
Kyle down his head and sought, "She is still inside."
Their eyes went to Nick who was seated on the ground like steel, he was wounded. When Maxwell heard about the mishaps he wanted to come here alone but his parents followed him also.
"What the doctor said?" Hearing Yehan's voice Nick stood up on his legs abruptly. He stepped towards him with his unstable legs and without saying something he propelled him against the wall angrily with all the strength he had. "It was you, wasn't it? Me. Yehan Davis."
"What are you saying?" Yehan was astounded.
"Why didn't I think my own... Oh right, I'm not... I'm not your son. How could I forget who is the person who... Who wants me dead so badly!" Nick coughed out blood but didn't let go of his collar. He could somehow manage to control his rage so he would not beat him. After all, he was his father.
Seeing him behaving like that out of nowhere, Anna trotted to stop him. "What are you saying? Nick, he is your dad."
"No... He is Yehan... Yehan Davis, not my dad but a stranger."
"Nick, I know you...."
"Why did you do that?" Nick's eyes were sniveling, half mixed with blood and half with tears. Everybody could see how devastated he seemed as if he would lose breathing forever at any time.
Raina worriedly held his hand and said, "Bro, you need to get treated right now. You are so injured."
"Why are you silent now? Tell me... Why did you do it?"
Yehan had no idea what he was talking about. Since the time when he knew he was his son, Yehan changed. To calm Nick, he held his hand. "Nick, hear me out, please. I didn't..."
"Don't you lie! I... I have always let it go. But not here, not now. You... You cannot hurt her."
"Nick, I am sorry for being the worst dad in the world but..."
"Sorry? Do you know what you did? I... I don't know what's gonna happen... She is the only person I am still living for, I'm... I'm still trying to breathe so I can see her. She is my everything, I... I can't live without her. Do you f*cking know what you did?..."
"Nick..."
Nick pushed his hand, not letting him touch his face. He couldn't control his balance and ended up falling on his feet. Blood was dripping down to his injuries and he was chuckling. "You could kill me all you want but not her. How could you... Why... Why do you have to hurt her!"
"Mr. Davis. Your wounds are severe if you don't...." Kyle kneeled and held his arm.
"What's the meaning of my life if I can't even protect her? She... She is suffering there, it's all because of me and I... I can't even help her. I... I thought I could protect her but because of you... Because of you, she got hurt."
Yehan leaned closer and was about to say something but Nick ordered Kyle, "Get this man out of here. Get him out of here right now!" His voice creaked so deep and shaky.
"Nick, you are misunderstanding me. This time, I did not..." Yehan was cut off as Anna with awe enunciated, "You... You tried to kill him?"
Yehan was lost in words as he saw how thunderstruck and sorry she seemed. He couldn't say anything anymore. "He is our son, why did you hurt him? And you wanted to kill him?" Though Nick did not treat her as his mother but he respected her. She knew that at the least he loved his dad. She saw with her own eyes how much he loved Yehan and Yehan too seemed to love him but what was she hearing?
When she was yet to get more to hear, suddenly Nick fainted and fell to the floor. He looked faded and dreary, a dip of tears streamed down to the corner of his eyes as his fists were diminishing more, his hands fell on the floor like a lifeless being...
