Carter

"Well she's stable and out of danger, she had three stab wounds to her back, four centimetres deep, nothing too serious, she lost one pint of blood so she needs a blood transfusion for that." The doctor explained and I let out a breath.

Thank fuck she's okay.

"Can I see her?" I asked him and nods. "Yes but please don't stay too long she needs her rest." He said sternly and I nodded, making my way to the room he said she's in.

When I open her hospital door, I saw her small frame laying in the bed, she's not awake yet, but seeing her laying there is enough for me.

I grabbed the chair that's against the wall and gently put it down next to her bed. Grabbing her cold hand in my warm one, I left a small kiss against her knuckles.

She looks a little bit better than she did, her cheeks have colour again thanks to the blood she's receiving.

"I'm not dead so stop worrying." My head shoot up when I heard Juliet's voice.

"Juliet what the fuck!" She lets out a small smile when she looks at my worried face.

"Hi." I scoff, giving her a little glare.

"You scared me y'know." She rolled her eyes, sifting slightly and let out a wince.

"Juliet what happened?" I asked her, my voice more serious.

She lets out a sigh. "I was attacked in my own home." She said and I huff.

"Our home, but did you see who attacked you?" She rolled her eye at but shook her head.

"No I couldn't see their face since they wore a mask, but I know it was a man since he was fucking tall and buff." She explained with a frown, I nodded squeezing her hand softly.

"Do you think Aiden is behind this?" I asked her seriously, her eyes widen at my accusation.

"Carter don't say it so loud! But I don't know, the guy was too big for it to be Aiden, but I wouldn't be surprised if he hired someone." She said dryly and I let out a frustrated sigh.

"You'll have to tell the two police officers what happened since they've been here since you got into surgery." Juliet groan distastefully at my words.

"I'll pretend to be asleep, I don't want to see anyone right now." I let out a small laugh at her stubbornness.

"But yet here you are, talking to me." I said in a teasing tone, raising a brow at her.

She smirks at me. "I can tolerate you." I let out a small giggle at her words.

"Quick question, why was the kitchen such a mess?" I asked her, she snorts.

"I threw that motherfucker with my most expensive cutlery, plates and mugs, he should have a nasty scar on his neck since one fork jabbed into his skin." I purse my lips to hold back a smile.

"That's good to hear then." I said holding back my snicker that wants to come out of my mouth.

She shoot me a playful glare, amusement behind her eyes. "I'm not that useless, Carter, I went to a training camp to learn how to defend myself, and now that I think about it, I'm glad I listened to my father since I could've been dead." She said the last part more seriously.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, clearing my throat. "So how did you get the stab wounds on your back?" I asked her hesitantly.

She sighs. "I was running up the stairs with him behind me and I guess he tried to stop me with stabbing me in the back." I nodded, my jaw clenched as I listened to her explaining.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to help." I said softly and she shook her head. "Please don't tell me you blame yourself for what happened, because if that's the case I'll beat your ass myself." She said sternly and I chuckle.

"It's just I could've at least prevented it from you getting stabbed in the back, literally!" She giggles and shook her head.

"It's over now okay, so relax." I hummed before I run my hand through my hair.

"Well we're not going back to that house until that bastard is behind bars." I said sternly to Juliet, I know how stubborn she is.

She rolls her eyes but nodded. "Fine, where do you suggest we live then?" She asked with a raised brow and I shrugged.

"Maybe for now rent out a penthouse." She nods with a small smile.

"Fine."

"Now I'll call the rest to come and see you." She groans and shook her head making me smirk.

"Don't you dare, Carter." She said, her eyes narrowed slightly.

My smirk widens. "Sorry angel but there's two police officers waiting." I snickered under my breath as I heard her curse under her breath.

It's good to have feisty Juliet back.
