It was hours until I received a confirmation that the surgery was completed. I sat from afar and would watch the three surgeons stitching Chloe's wounds and cleaning her body up. From what I was seeing from a distance, it frightened me. And I also listened in on what the surgeons were telling each other from across the operating room.

"We may have to keep her around for awhile."

"I believe so. It's a miracle that she isn't pronounced deceased after the injuries. These were damn near fatal."

The surgeons looked over at me with concern written all over their faces.

"Mr. Anoa'i, may we have a word with you?"

I deeply sighed and stood up from the chair, "What's up?"

"Chloe's wounds are deep and we managed to stitch almost everything, but she may not be able to leave the hospital for about a month or two. It depends on how she's feeling and when her ribs heal."

"I see." My voice deepened, "I hate that bastard so much."

"Who?"

"Someone named Dante. He said he was a hired hitman and he tried to kill both Chloe and I. Apparently someone hired him to take us out."

"Wow." One of the surgeons said in shock, "So he was trying to shoot you both and she sacrificed herself to save your life?"

I nodded, "Mhm. She loves me that much to sacrifice herself but it almost cost her; her life."

"She definitely loves you, Mr. Anoa'i." He said, removing his surgical mask from his mouth, "I've never once had a patient come into this hospital due to a hitman attack; it's insane at that."

"Yeah but I appreciate you guys for saving her life. Here, allow me to pay for the hospital bill."

"Sir, it's the least we could do." He paused, "However, does she have any type of insurance that can pay for her hospital bills?"

"I'm not quite sure. We never discussed financial issues together since we just started dating not too long ago."

"We'll find a way to have everything paid off. We can tell that this is a difficult time for you."

I then pulled out my wallet and gave the surgeons five-grand in cash. The moment they counted the money, their eyes began to widen.

"This is a lot of money, sir."

I don't think he knew who I was.

"You can say that." I cleared my throat, "I'm a professional wrestler in the WWE and I get paid a lot, but I'm doing whatever it takes to make sure she's normal and healthy again like before."

"That's amazing. We'll do whatever we can to help speed up her healing process, Mr. Anoa'i. It depends on how her post-surgery turns out."

I looked at him and slightly nodded.

After Joe called and mentioned that Chloe was in the hospital and almost died, I felt like I had to call Emma, her best friend. Finding her number through my contacts, she immediately picked up after the first ring.
