"Hmh... Hmhm." Susan groans and breathes. While lying hopelessly in pain, a hunter, walking briskly through the hills to set traps. Another early morning for him, to make sure his traps are set before sunrise. As he walks further to the bottom of the hill, he hears a sound coming from a deep corner so early when he can barely see anything unless close enough. He stops to listen but the voice fades so faintly, "Help... help..." pausing briefly, then shrugging it off. "Just my imagination." He murmurs. "No time to waste, need to finish up." As he tries to put up another trap, he hears it again, but this time the voice growing fainter. "Help... please..."The hunter stops hesitating, then quickens his pace. "That voice again? What if someone is in trouble? I better check it out, just to be sure." He tells himself, feeling for who it is. He adjusts his grip on his hunting gun and follows the direction of the faint voice. The urgency in his steps grows. Muttering to himself so slowly, prep
"Can I fill that part later? Because I didn't get the chance to ask her name before she got unconscious. May be when she regains herself a little, the form can be done with." "Okay then. You can have your sit." The receptionist points to the black many seats. "While waiting for the doctor to come out.""Okay. Thanks."Few minutes later, the doctor comes with the test results as he walks out of the emergency room; the hunter rushes up to him. "What is the condition of the young lady? Sir.""Okay... Calm down." The doctor looks at him in curiosity. Who is he? "Any problems?""Sorry sir, he's the man that called the ambulance." The receptionist interrupts."Oh, you are the hunter who saved the young lady in there. Wow, firstly thanks for the good work. We've run a few thorough diagnoses and I'm afraid she sustained a severe internal head injury. It's critical, and we need to perform a major surgery immediately to give her the best chance of recovery. She is currently in a coma state and
"Mmm-hmm." Aunt Tina clears her throat and sits upright. As both the inspector and Xander eagerly fix their gaze on her every words. With a deep breath, she begins her tale, transporting everyone back in time, how all started beyond what they think is now."Twenty-eight years ago, before Xander came into our lives, I was a young woman full of dreams and aspirations. It was at a glamorous birthday party, where the stars twinkles in the night sky and the air, full with laughter and music, that I met a man who forever changed my life. Mr Xander himself the father to mark Xander."Her voice tells of her feelings of excitement as she recounts the memories. "He is like a vision—rich, handsome, and charming. We instantly connected, drawn to each other like magnets. We laughed, we danced and the spark between us kept ongoing stronger with each passing moment. It was whirlwind romance that lasted just one night."As she continues, the room buzzes with curiosity. They lean forward, captivated b
Mrs Tina's raises her head up after sobbing for some seconds. "Xa," she sniffs in watery nose and teary eyes. "Xander, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Will you choose to leave your brother to pursue the lady, or will you try to reclaim what was once yours?"All eyes turn to Xander, awaiting his response. However, he remains silent, his expression unreadable. Tina's heart sinks, realizing that she would have to continue her story without his input. "How did I forget?" She sighs, "like father like son." She comments, undeterrably, forging ahead, "I love my sister, and I still do. But my love for that man was unlike anything I have ever known before. It consumed me, overshadowing even the bond I shared with my flesh and blood. Whenever I saw him, I yearned to have him back, to reclaim the connection we had, sharing that fateful night. But upon my looks, he's out of sight." Her emotions rapidly streams, her emotions raw and unfiltered. "I know it's a complicated situation, tan
Hurrying out of the police station, Xander reaches out for his pocket and pulls out his phone, checking for any missed calls or messages. To his surprise, he already had two missed calls from an unknown number. Frowning at his face, he dials the number, his curiosity piques. The call connects, and a mature masculine not too thick voice answers on the other end."Hello? May I know who I'm unto?" Xander inquires, sounding nervous.The voice on the other end belongs to the attending doctor of Sussan. "Mr. Xander, my name is Dr. Steven. I apologize for the urgency of this call, but I have some important information regarding a young lady who is in a critical condition here at the hospital.""Okay...? So?" "Dr. Ketty confirms her identity and that you also know her. That reminds me." He swallows a gulp of saliva before he continues. "She kept on sobbing your name while we underwent the examination on her."Xander's heart skips a beat, his worry for Susan intensifying. "Dr. Steven, Is She
As they take Susan into the hospital theatre on a stretcher, with the medical staffs bustling around her. The medical team springs into action, wheeling Susan into the theater. Dr. Ketty and her two trusted neurosurgical experts, Dr. Ramirez and Dr. Patel, lead the way, with five assisting nurses following closely behind. While Xander and John, stand anxiously in the waiting area. While they wait, Xander Pants back and forth the waiting space. His worry increases when the theatre lights turn on, signifying that the operation is ongoing. In anxiety, he pats his leg. "please, let her be okay. Losing her is not an option. We've been through so much together."John Gently response alongside, "I know, Xander. Susan means a lot to both of us. Dr. Ketty is one of the best surgeons in the field. We have to trust her expertise."Inside the operating theater, the medical team prepares for the surgery as Dr. Ketty reviews Susan's medical records and scans while briefing the team. "Team, we have
Considering the sudden throbbings, both John and Xander has no option than becoming early risers, earlier than the normal work hours. "Knock! Knock!" John decks on Xander's door. "Morning, Xander! Ready to go?"Xander opens the door full dressed. "Good morning, bro," He stretches a bit. "Yes, I'm all set. Let's get going." They both head towards the car parked outside. "Wow, it's so chilly out here early in the morning." John mutters because he's never been up this early atleast not any he can remember vividly. Picking Xander up has never been his duty, but the trauma he's going through needs him to be with someone."So, bro, I know that Susan's health condition is the utmost concern right now but please be rest assured that when she is finally awake, she'll talk to you nonstop.""Huhahha." Xander exclaims while he gazes up to the sky, "That's a relief to hear. I've been worried sick about her. Let's hope she makes a full recovery soon."John interrupts, "Absolutely. We'll be at the h
A deep laugh blows out from Mrs. Tina. She makes the room feel her manipulative self. "My sweet nephew, you sure know me well and why should I turn back after going so far all these years?" She shakes her head. "Never! By the way, you can see that I have a little way of making people believe what I want them to. So I go back to my sister's life and make her believe, putting my plan into place.""What do you mean by your plan' comes into place? Please explain." Xander sounds nervous.Aunt Tina, fixing her gaze on Xander, "see who wants to know after pressing on time spent wastefully. Well, Xander, sometimes in life, when reality hits you hard, you realize things. I have sacrificed so much for my sister and her husband to be together, but I wonder if they could sacrifice something small for me in return.""Aunt! I don't get you anymore." Xander's eyes tinnies, covering his balls, still trying to grab what she meant by that or where she is heading to. "What are you implying?" He question
