Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 19

=== P A T C H ===

Four slaps. I received more slaps in my life but this one was a hundred times more painful. At para sa akin, kulang pa iyon.

Nasa ospital kami ngayon. Doon ko tinakbo si Kiana nang mawalan ito ng malay. I didn't care for people before but I won't forgive myself if something happened to an innocent child.

Nang bumagsak si Kiana at ang lalaki ay agad kong dinaluhan ito. I quickly searched for any signs of wound or gunshot. There wasn't. Walang dugo sa kahit na anong parte ng katawan nito.

I called Kylo and Erwin on my way to the hospital. And here we are now inside the suite. Madam Inocencia was livid with me and I totally understand why. Kylo is just standing beside Kiana, holding her hand.

"She might have fainted from too much stress and trauma. The tests show that there are no wounds or any internal injuries. She'll wake up when she's ready. It won't be long because she's not in a coma."

Tumango lamang ang pamilya sa sinabi ng doktor.

Nang makalabas ang doktor ay doon ako sinampal ni Madam Inocencia.

"I knew you weren't fit for this job. Wala kang kuwenta! I don't want to see your face again."

I don't cry. Pero may hindi maipaliwanag na paninikip sa dibdib ko. It was painful.

Nakayuko lang ako habang tinatanggap lahat ng sinasabi ni Madam Inocencia. I have nothing to say for myself. Kiana was endangered because of me.

Nagising lang ako nang may humila sa akin palabas. Kylo dragged me to a silent corner in the hospital.

"Kylo-"

"You knew she was in the car! Why didn't you turn back?"

"I tried. Kylo I tried-"

"What? And a kid overpowered your decision? F*ck! That's bullsh*t and you know it."

"I know...I have no excuse. I'm sorry."

"I don't care if you don't have any regard for your life, but that was my sister. She could have f*cking died do you know that? You're just that selfish and self-centered huh? You just don't care about everybody else."

Hindi pa ako humihingi ng patawad sa tanang buhay ko. I had said more sorry's today than I said my whole life.

"You're fired."

Napatingin ako kay Kylo. His face was stoic but I knew better.

"I want you out of the house before the sun rises."

"I understand." Kinuha ko ang isang kahita sa bulsa ko. Nahanap ko iyon sa isa sa mga nadaanan naming jewelry store. I don't buy jewelry but at that moment, I knew I had to buy it. "Can you give this to Kiana then?" It was a necklace with a flower pendant. It is the same flower from Mulan's hair accessory. "And tell her I'm sorry."

Mabigat ang loob ko na umalis ng ospital. I had to fix my things and give Winter a call. Nang bubuksan ko na ang pinto ng sasakyan ay napansin ko ang dugo sa kamay niya. Sinilip ko ang balikat. May daplis ako ng bala. Gagamutin ko na lang sa bahay. I needed to get back to the mansion.

Nang makarating sa bahay ay ilag ang mga tao sa akin. I understand. I did cause trouble today. Inilapag ko na lang din ang mga gamit sa kusina at sa kuwarto ni Kiana.

I went to my room and tended my wound. Nang malagyan ko iyon ng benda ay tinawagan ko na si Winter.

"Hey my favorite agent-"
