Kirks POV

Freen left the room and I'm trying my best to wake Liza up. Her breathing is shallow and there's nothing I can do except monitor her heartbeat. The guards came along with our doctor. She looked at Liza and immediately told me that Liza needed to go to the hospital. She can't help here.

I agreed without consulting Grandma. "I'll suffer the consequences later" We carried Liza to the ambulance that is owned by us. We are near the hospital when suddenly we lost Liza's heartbeat. The doctors are quick enough to help us as they try and bring Liza back. As soon as Liza reached the emergency room they asked me about her details.

I tried my best to dodge their questions and asked for privacy. The truth is I cannot tell who Liza is. She works for us for a reason. With a caring and kind heart you will find it surprising why she's with us, doing what she likes the most- saving life while we on the other hand take it. Well, During her doctor's days Liza accidentally killed a patient by giving him the wrong medicine. It wasn't her fault though. The director's daughter who worked under the hospital made a mistake and shifted the patient's profile for fun.  Liza was tired and just followed what the chart said, so she administered the wrong medicine which causes the patient to die of drug overdose. The patient's family was so shocked and mad that they sued the hospital but the hospital pinned all the blame on Liza. This causes her license to be revoked and became a criminal. Liza spent her 3 months in jail and that's when Grandma found her and helped her. To prove that Grandma is a person who can help Liza, Grandma uses all her business connections and the next thing i know the hospital Liza worked for  suddenly filed for bankruptcy and the people who hurt and betrayed her were killed. Grandma then helped Liza to escape in prison. To make sure that Liza's loyalty lies within us Grandma didn't help clear her criminal records even if she has the power to do so. She helped Liza hide though by working with us until the case went cold.

If they find out who Liza is surely the police will come and arrest her since she's still a wanted criminal. I promise Freen that I will make sure Liza is going to be alright and that's exactly what I'll do.  I have no intentions of failing so  I have to do everything to prevent them from revealing her identity. I just need to finish the surgery and after that I will sneak her out.

Freen's POV

I went out of Liza's room crying holding the memory card Kirk gave me. I went to my room and locked the door. I remember Liza's words saying that Rebecca didn't order to kill me and I refuse to believe it, cause believing it causes me to have hope, and having hope  is weakness and being weak means losing and I can't lose. I looked at the memory card with a lot of doubts. But then Liza's words came replaying through my mind for the nth time. "Rebecca didn't order to kill you. I bet my life on that." I took my memory card reader and inserted it on my laptop. I took a deep sigh before playing what's inside. "Won't hurt to try and see, right?"

I played the two files and I was crying when I learned that Rebecca always wanted to reach out. I felt happy that the reason why she was with the short guy was because of me. She wanted to talk to me in person even if it's just a moment "I misunderstood her, she genuinely cares for me. How can I be so fucking stupid." I'm scolding myself for being stupid and  for acting aggressive towards Rebecca.

Thinking about her gave me relief with a smile on my face "She doesn't hate me, she cares for me. She genuinely cares for me" the smile then was eventually gone when other negative emotions came with it. I started to ask questions and eventually the smile  was crushed as i dive deep into my curiosity and began asking questions.

"If Rebecca didn't order to kill me, who did? Why was the call and the video turned out to decieve me?" Curiosity then slowly changed into frustration and anger. The more questions I ask the more angry I become. I'm trying to come up with an answer and the only conclusion I can think of is betrayal from my own circle. I don't want to accept it but it's the only logical answer I can come up with. "Kirk where are you?"
