Third-Person POV

Naina was sitting on a chair, anxiously waiting for the doctor to come out.

She kept praying to God for his safety. Just then, the door of the operating theatre opened and the doctors walked out.

"Doctor, how is he? Is he alright? He's out of danger now, right? Did he wake up? Please tell me, doctor... why are you silent? Why aren't you saying anything?" Naina asked in panic.

"Miss, give me a chance to speak," the doctor chuckled.

Realising how desperate she sounded, Naina lowered her eyes in embarrassment. "Sorry, doctor."

"It's alright," he said with a soft smile. "And congratulations—he is out of danger now. If you were even a little late, he could have lost his life. The drug he was given was extremely strong and it has affected his body badly. His right hand and leg have been paralysed for some time. He will also face difficulty speaking, but don't worry—within a week, he should recover. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Saying this, the doctor left, while Naina stood frozen at the door, his words echoing in her ears.

Her face was pale, tears streaming endlessly. Her swollen red eyes spoke of sleeplessness, and her messy hair looked as if she had run her hands through it countless times.

Only one sentence kept repeating in her mind—

"If you were late for some time, then he could have lost his life."

Again and again...

"If you were late for some time, then he could have lost his life."

Her chest tightened. She clutched it as her breathing grew shallow and rapid. Black dots clouded her vision, making her stumble to her knees. Holding onto a chair for support, she shut her eyes, and the only face she saw was Jack's—smiling at her. A faint smile touched her lips before her body gave in.

"Ma'am, what happened to you? Mam!" someone's voice broke through, and she felt herself being shaken.

"Doctor! Emergency! Please help!" a shout echoed around her.

And with that, Naina lost consciousness.

A Vision

"Babe, thanks for coming into my life."

Naina saw Jack standing in front of her.

"I don't want to leave you, baby. Please save me... they're trying to take me away. I don't want to go. Please wake up, come to me. I'm missing you, amore," he pleaded, his figure slowly fading into darkness.

"Jack! Where are you going? Wait! You can't leave me like this!" she cried.

"Babe, come... I don't want to leave you. Please save me..."

And then he was gone.

"Jack! You can't go like this! Jack!"

Her scream echoed as she jolted awake, whispering his name—

"Jack..."

"Ma'am! Thank God, you're finally awake."

Naina turned to her right and saw Max standing there. Suddenly, everything rushed back to her—the girl who had drugged Jack, the attempt to stab him, rushing him to the hospital, and the doctor's haunting words: "If you were late for some time, then he could have lost his life."
