A clap of thunder seemed to struck Lisa when he heard Jennie's words. Baby? They are having a baby?
He held Jennie tighter, his eye wide with fear. "No!" he thought out loud when a loud explosion was heard and he saw Jennie closed her eyes. "No! Jennie! Don't- JENNIE!"
Lisa froze. His brain was telling- shouting at him to move, run, find a cover. Yet, his body has remained frozen. Memories of his past life flow inside his mind, making him pale. He remembered as he watched Jennie's lifeless body in the morgue. He remembered as he shook her, trying to wake her up.
His hands trembled as his eyes began to water. His bloodied hand reached out to her pale cheeks. "No... you promised me!" he yelled, anger and fear laced his voice.. He cannot lose her. Not again. "You promise not to leave me again!"
« Lisa!"
« Lisa! Goddamn it! Look at me! »
The angry shouts of Li Jun woke him up from his stupor. His blank eyes met Li Jun's brown ones. "You are not a fucking statue! Go and save my daughter or I will kill you!"
Li Jun's harsh words, instantly made Lisa realized his current environment. The gunshots were long gun and some bodies were already lying lifelessly on the ground.
"Fuck! Go to the chopper I will skin you alive if my daughter won't sur...!" Li Jun's curses rained as Lisa made his way into the chopper. Leaving the furious man yelling at him.
...
Lisa does not remember how they arrived at the top hospital in the Emerald Country. He could not remember how long did it take him to travel from the Vercello's estate towards the hospital. Nor how much tears he shed while Jennie was in his arms. Dying.
'Save the baby'
'Save the baby'
Jennie's last words echoed inside him. She knew! She knew that she was pregnant! Yet, she went to the Vercello's estate and put herself in danger! All because she wanted to finish this and start a life with Lisa.
At this moment, he was conflicted. Jennie hid this from him because she knows that Lisa would never allow her to go to the Vercello estate if he knew she was carrying their child.
Right now, he felt that he doesn't know anything at all. He doesn't know her plans, her countermeasures. As if... As if he doesn't know his wife at all.
All he knows was that Jennie was fighting for her and their baby's life at the emergency room. While he... he was useless. He was just outside of the emergency room, pacing, his hand's balled into a fist, his knuckles white. He couldn't protect her. He couldn't protect their child.
"How is she?" he turned his gaze towards the group of people who just arrived. It was Wang Ruo who was pushing Li Qiang's wheelchair followed by Blake Lee with Li Jun and Wang Bolin.
"Why is he here?" Lisa ignored Wang Ruo's question. Li Qiang's presence immediately worsened his current mood.
"How is she?" This time it was Li Jun. Actually, it was him who insisted to bring Li Qiang with them. Last night, when he arrived from the party, he already met Wang Ruo. The reunion went well, however, his mood changed when Wang Ruo told him about Li Qiang. Though his twin brother hated him, Li Jun still felt bad about everything that Li Qiang went through because of him.
Moreover, Li Qiang was just someone manipulated by the Li Family to kill Wang Ruo. Because of this, he sent Wang Ruo and some of his most trusted men to fetch Li Qiang. He wanted bring his brother into the Emerald County hoping they could find a way to treat his condition.
"I don't know." Lisa sigh. "The doctor said earlier that the knife missed her heart so... it should be good." His words were said with certainty, but this does not resemble his feelings inside.
Lisa was aware that by saying these words, he was trying to convince himself instead of his wife's parents.
"How about the woman who stabbed her?" Lisa asked and watched as Li Jun signaled Blake Lee to show Lisa something.
Blake Lee then opened his tablet and showed it to Lisa. It was a video of a woman in chains. She was laughing and staring at the man in blue with blood red eyes.
"Too late! You are too late! hahaha" Mia let out a deranged laugh. "That woman deserved it for stealing my husband! Hahaha"
"You think you could save her? Hahahaha... Fool! That knife was laced with poison! You can find the antidote but..." Mia made a deliberate paused, her smile so wide, revealing her bloodied teeth. "By then the poison will already damage her heart."
"Hahahahah! I can't wait to see that woman in hell! Hahahahaha"
Mia's sinister laughter echoed on the hospital's hallway. Making Lisa's fear flare inside his body. It was as if a cold bucket of water was poured on hiss head, making his body tremble. Half in fear, half in anger.
A poison that would attack Jennie's heart? Then... then what about their child?
