It's been the fourth day, but there is no sign of him coming to my apartment, yes, since I got that horrible message in front of my apartment door, I can be said to be hiding with the excuse of working hard by constantly being in this hospital and returning only to change clothes without wanting to linger there.
Scared, not just scared but I still loved my life, not knowing who he would come with to my apartment, saying he wanted to check I didn't know what he could do to me, a woman who lived alone in an apartment with a gangster, nope never knew something good will happen about that.
So I'd rather avoid it than be in the news for losing my life the next day.
Hopefully, when he realizes I'm not around, he'll think of going somewhere else to help him open the stitches on his stomach.
Click…
"Wow, Dwyne, are you still here?" Dr. Patrick who was on morning duty greeted me as he walked into the doctor's room, I guess to check who the interns were.
I smiled, "Do you need anything doctor?" I asked quickly and hurriedly stood up from the stool I was sitting on.
But doctor Patrick hurriedly shook his head, "Not you, I need a man to help me now." He said quickly, but looking around there was only me in the doctor's room, so he sighed and looked at me as if there was no other way.
. . . .
Silence…
He finally sighed, "Have you ever taken out a bullet and sewed up a wound?" He asked and I had to stifle an annoyed groan at that.
Please, no…
Another gunshot wound?!
God, what's wrong with me and gunshot wounds anyway?! I groaned inwardly but only nodded slowly to answer the senior doctor in front of me.
"Yes?" It’s sound like a question not an answer
But he nodded, "Follow me." He ordered.
Cr*p..
Soon we were walking in silence towards the emergency room.
Although my heart was pounding, I continued to follow him until we reached the end of the room.
With a raised eyebrow, I saw the man behind the curtain that Dr. Patrick had opened slightly.
Double cr*p!!!
It’s him!!!
"Female doctor?!" The man clucked angrily while pointing at me, fortunately all workers in the hospital are required to always wear masks, so this man in front of me must not recognize me.
Looks like he's recovering, I thought as I looked at his stomach.
Good then, he doesn't need to go to my apartment anymore, I thought happily.
"No more?! You want me? You know I hate gunshot wounds and I won't do it!!!" Dr. Patrick snapped back at the man.
What the h*ll is going on?
Dr. Patrick knows him?!
They fell silent and looked angrily at each other which made me feel awkward standing between them.
Damn it! Why am I here anyway?!
"Do you want her help or not?!" Dr. Patrick said before the other man sighed and gave me an annoyed look.
What the...
Hey, don't be annoyed with me!!! I wanted to scream, but knew I needed to hold my mouth shut this time.
"Can you remove and treat bullets?" He asked rudely to me and I just nodded.
"Yes" I replied quietly, afraid that he would recognize my voice.
D*mn... D*mn it!!!
Silently he looked at me before shifting to let me approach his injured friend who's lying on the operating table and bleeding.
"He dies, you die too, remember?!" He threatened and this time I couldn't help but roll my eyes in annoyance.
Treat it yourself, I said to myself in annoyance.
A groan sounded and I hurriedly cut his shirt to see the wound on his chest.
Good thing it didn't hit the heart, I thought before starting to treat it.
What's with that guy and guns?
His and his friend's wounds are all from bullets...
No one spoke as I began to treat the wound.
I don't know how long ago it was that gunshot wounds weren't a problem for me.
Quickly and swiftly, I stitched up the wound before covering it with gauze.
Sighing in relief, I stepped back when all was done and turned to look at the senior doctor and his colleague, "Let's hope he doesn't have a fever since he has lost a lot of blood." I said as I took off my gloves.
Dr. Patrick nodded, "I'll prescribe some medicine then you can leave immediately."
He nodded then pulled out his phone, “We’re ready, come.” He said firmly.
I was startled when Dr. Patrick patted my back, "Thanks, Dwyne." He said and I hoped the man didn't hear him call my name, I didn't want to be their personal doctor if this happened again.
2 times is enough for me...
No more...
Then I turned my head as I felt a pair of eyes looking at me from the side and startled to see that it was him, the man staring closely at me.
Sh*t!
"Dwyne..." He said softly and made my heart pound.
D*mn... !! He called my name!
Calm down, Dwyne.
I just nodded and only took one step back when I heard him add, "I'll see you at your apartment, my wound still needs to be checked," he said casually as if to tease me that I can't hide from him.
My eyes widened in shock after hearing his words then turned to meet his gaze again.
He smirked as if he knew what I was thinking, that I was trying to run away from him.
Oh, my God… He knows it's me?
How did he know?!
And he's still going to come to my apartment?! Why not here? What do you want?!
Dr. Patrick raised a confused eyebrow while staring between me and his creepy friend.
I cleared my throat softly "I can treat you here" I said softly, hoping he wouldn't have to come to my apartment.
"Her?!" Dr. Patrick said in shock as if he had been told about the night by him, and looking at the doctor's expression he seemed to know that there was a woman who helped him.
D*mn it!
Here comes my peaceful life, I thought irritably.
Without saying anything, the horrible man just looked at me as if he wanted to read my soul from his gaze and I just tried to keep my head up and brace myself to meet his gaze.
"No, I don't want to." He replied and I looked at him in shock.
What?!
"Let that be a moment between you and me, baby." He whispered in my ear before patting my back as several other men in black suits came and helped their injured colleague out of the emergency room.
What happened? I thought confused and Dr. Patrick just let out a long breath while shaking his head before looking at me, "Be careful, he's the leader of the gangsters and don't go the wrong way with him" He said softly before patting my back and walking away.
I just stared at them leaving with a blank and confused mind.
So what should I do?! I was confused and weakened by the situation I was currently in.
Sh*t... Sh*t!!!!
******************
Oh my god... oh my god, help me. I hope that he's not in front of my apartment. I prayed when I finished the night watch and had to go back to rest in my apartment before starting another part time job at the cafe 4 hours from now. I slowly stepped towards my room after turning from the stairs and looked around that there was no one around. I quickly stepped into the room at the far end of my apartment and hurriedly unlocked it. Luckily this time there was no paper attached with a knife. I had to put a tape on my door so that it wouldn't look like a hole caused by the knife. Blam.... Letting out a long sigh, I entered my room and stopped when I saw a colorful bouquet of tulips, which is my favorite flower, on the kitchen counter. But instead of being happy to see the bouquet, my heart ached to know how it got there? My. God! I’m doomed…. I said weakly and slumped to the floor staring at the bouquet of flowers. ****** .. 4 hours later .. "Hello Dwyne..." Greeted Kate who
"I'll take care of it, you clean up in the back." Kate interrupted me and stood in front of the man with a smile and I released a relieved breath.Thank god..!"Hello, sis."My eyes widened in surprise and stared at the two people in front of me.What? Sister?Kate is this horrible man's sister?!"3 years of not seeing each other and this is what you're doing? Scaring my staff?" I tried not to hear their conversation but it was difficult and I could only pretend to go to the cashier counter and calculate today's income."Nice decorations, I like the flowers." I tried not to wince at the man's sarcasm.D*mn, so it was really him who sent, no, not sent but put the flowers in my room?!How could that be?Isn't my apartment locked?!I heard Kate let out a long sigh, "Leave her alone." She said and I hope he listened to his sister's words.God, help!Kate, help!"I'm sorry, it can't be that easy. I owe her my life." He replied and startled me.Huh? Owe me a life?What does that mean?Then
Since then I never heard of or met the men in black suits again, Kate was right, they wouldn't bother me anymore.Even Richard came to the cafe whenever I was already home or just when I didn't have a shift at the time, as if to give me some distance.It's been a week since I returned to my life, only less burdened where I used to have to set aside money to be able to pay educational debts, now I can pamper myself a little with the extra money.Bbrrttt..!!The vibration of the mobile phone from inside informs me that there is an incoming text and I take it out to read it from my old part-time place at Equinox bar, yes, I am currently only working part-time at Kate's place and stopped bartending.'Dwyne, can you help cover for Ed at the bar Friday night? He fell down the stairs yesterday and I haven't found anyone who can bartend Friday - Louis' Louis is the owner of the bar where I used to work.I thought I could rest tomorrow night, but I couldn't say no to the owner of the bar beca
I tried to hold back my emotions and smiled sweetly at the man in front of me, Benjamin, Gilbert along with the others around us looked surprised to see him recognize me, "Happy Birthday, it's free for you." I said casually then thrust a glass of Jagerbomb towards him.He laughed but drank it in one quick gulp as if the drink had no effect on him.Sh*t!He's capable of holding alcohol, I muttered to myself."I didn't know you worked here." He asked as if we were old friends, but when someone ordered something and I took my eyes off him, I gasped in surprise to see the person being pulled by a man dressed in black which made me look back at the horrible man."I'm working right now." I sighed in annoyance and saw him raise an eyebrow before looking to my right."LOUIS!!!" My eyes widened as I heard him call out to my boss who was currently in the corner helping with the cashier.Louis looked in his direction before walking over and standing next to me, "What's wrong? Not enough drink?"
"Here," Louis handed me an envelope containing my wages for the day which I happily accepted,"Sure you don't want to come back to work with me? Just look how popular you are tonight." He added kindly. I laughed but shook my head, "If my tuition hasn't been paid maybe I'll stay, but for now just call me if there's anything urgent." I said as I yawned and a little tipsy. Ben and Gilbert came in, "You're very popular today." Ben said as he took his bag from his locker. "One guy in particular can't take his eyes off you and is guarding you like a hawk." Gilbert added with a laugh and made me raise a confused eyebrow. "Huh?" Seeing my confusion, the three men laughed as if there was something funny that I didn't realize. "She doesn't seem to notice." Louis chuckled amused but I was still confused about the direction of their conversation. "It's 5am, I'm going home then." I said and grabbed my bag from my locker, "Bye guys, thanks Lu." I waved before walking out through the back door
Ugh.. I’m so tired… My whole body hurts all over... No.. I loved my job.. I loved my job.. I loved my job… Yes, I loved my job. The perks were few and far between but they were still there. First, I got the chance to help people, who could beat that? Secondly, You will never be unneeded anywhere, hey, who doesn't need a doctor? I can work anywhere. and finally, of course, the doctor's fee exceeds the tuition fees I've paid. Even though sometimes the shifts are horrible, but hey, that's part of the process, right? One day I will definitely be great like those senior doctors. After a week of non-stop work at the hos
The bane of my existence was trying to get me to throw myself against him. But no, I wasn’t drunk enough for that.I tried to walk away but his hands were firmly situated where I couldn’t move anywhere. So, I simply stood there, frozen, trying to ignore how uncomfortably close he was to me. So close I could feel his breath on my face.“You.. You know her, Brad?”Visibly annoyed, Bradley raised his head and looked in the direction the voice came from then raised a questioning eyebrow at Vernon."Is there a problem if I know her?" He asked coldly and I was taken aback by how different the way he spoke to me before was to this moment.Then he looked back at me, "You know him, Cara?”Huh? What did he call me?!Although I was confused as to why he was calling me that way, I nodded my head, “This is Vernon and Maya, my friends." I introduced them before anything terrible happened after I saw his horrifying reaction.“Noted.” He nodded like it’s something he needed to remember or something.
I tried not to look up and stare into his eyes, kept trying to ignore him as I finished my beer. A million thoughts swirled in my head, why is he here? Why is he not leaving? Is he truly the mafia boss?"Why did you f*cking sneak away that day?" I was surprised to hear his question and looked back at him who was looking at me challengingly as if he wanted to see me lying.What? Is he serious?!D*mn it, is he really going to talk about that... here?!I wanted to say that my stomach didn’t flip in strange feeling when I saw him, looking handsome in the dangerous ways that I know could make every woman swoon whenever see him wearing black long pants with a black shirt rolled up sleeves which shows the tattoo on the back of his arm and the thick muscles of him.Yes, muscles…I know how thick his muscles truly are.F*ck!Stop thinking like that!He lift his eyebrow, becoming all serious, “I will bend you to this counter if you keep f*cking staring at me like that” His comment is like a sla
