REBORN AGAIN:- Master's Darling Wife

Chapter 44:- DEATH IS INCOMPETENT

     The surgery lasted for another 2 hours. It was 1:00am when she was finally moved into the ICU for further observation.
     Logan sat outside staring at her through the glass. He had been silent since Ezekiel walked in, a strong air that screamed danger surrounded him as he stared at the pale figure attached to a life support machine.
     "Sir, the sniper was hired by Luther but Miss Evelyn's killers still hasn't confessed. They only said she had offended someone she shouldn't have" Sawyer reported beyond terrified.
     "I don't care what gruesome methods you use, make them talk or you're next"he said looking like a devil and Sawyer swallowed in nothing but pure fear.
     "Yes Master Logan"he replied and walked away praying in his heart that Evelyn will pull through till daybreak if not,......the world shall know an intense feeling of pain.
     Those few hours before daybreak were a blur. Head of top tier hospital all led by Ezekiel checked on Evelyn but still no sign of improvement. Even Ezekiel had to say to himself she wasn't going to make it but who could tell Logan who sat like a terrifying god of darkness, death and destruction.
     Clara was having a great time listening to her spies in the clinic speak about Evelyn's condition.
     "Let's not forget that Master Logan hasn't taken his eyes off her since she was wheeled out of the operating room" one of them finally said something that angered Clara.
     "Are you crazy?! That bitch still won't let go even on her death bed!"she cursed angrily breaking the vase on the bedside table.
     "Young Miss be careful, your health is still poor"one of the nurse gently reminded but it made Clara so angry she was about to faint because she remembered when she said "The only thing you surpass me at is being a sickly plastic. Did I lie?"her mocking voice rang in her head like a curse and before you know it, she was throwing everything within and reach and shouting on them to get out of her room. No doctor is to see her till they bring Logan.
     "Master Logan my apologies for disrupting your time.......a doctor in his 60's bowed before Logan but he interrupted him immediately.
     "Get to the point"his voice which sounded horribly terrifying said impatiently.
     "Miss Clara as locked herself in the room and refused to open up till you see her"the doctor said swallowing as his sweat formed a pool before him and as expected, his gaze darkened and his eyes became ink black.
     "Did she say what she needed?"he was suppressing his anger.
     "Yes Master Logan. She said she wanted..... You!"the doctor said in an hurry and it was miracle he had not collapsed from fear.
     "Tell her to behave I'm busy"he replied, his eyes fixed on the 18 year old girl who still hadn't shown any sign of improvement. 'was she really going to die?'he thought as he remembered her warm smiles, cold expression and the look of bliss she had when eating. She can't die, she just can't. If she does he'll snatch her back from Lucifer.
     "Blue eyed rabbit death is not an option for you. Did you hear me?. You had better wake up" he mumbled to himself glaring daggers at her immobile body.
     By 4:00am, the heavy rainfall began. It had been raining recently but it was heavier than usual as if delivering a bad omen. Logan's heart skipped a bit in fear as he stared at her.
     He walked into the room where she laid gently and sat beside her.
     Her face was so pale and colourless it was almost scary. It was like she was drained if colour. Her blue eyes closed in what seemed to be a deep slumber. She had and oxygen mask that covered half her face and the only thing that reminded him this wasn't a nightmare was the incessant flashing of lightning across the sky, thunder and the machine beeping showing she was hanging to her last straw for life.
     "Death is not an option"he repeated this time as he stroked her head gently afraid that she would disappear.
              ****
     It was finally daybreak. She had pulled through to the suprise of everyone except Logan she had pulled throughout the night so she was going to be fine and wake up soon.
     Logan waited earnestly for that only leaving her side to take his bath and during her checkup.
     "Wake up little rabbit".
              ****
     Evelyn's eyes opened and shut, opened and shut again. She squinted and her eyes finally adjusted to the light.
     The strong smell of disinfectant told her she was in the hospital.
     She tried to sit up but a strong but soft pair of hands out her back down.
     "Don't move around much. You barely escaped death"it was Logan who talked as he called her nurses.
     Doctors from top tier hospitals, some she recognised, some she has a good relationship with as a different person entirely all came to check up on her and she felt a bit flustered.
     After changing her bandage and disinfecting it, to which she did not even since, they left her and Logan alone.
     "I'll call someone to help you brush your teeth and wipe your body then you can have breakfast"he told her but all she saw was the eyebags under his handsome eyes.
     "Haven't you been getting enough rest Logan?"she asked but he only shrugged.
      "That isn't an answer. Did you not rest?"she asked again and he wanted to shout'No I didn't!. I was up all night praying to the heavens to spare you and not take you away from me'he said inwardly.
     "I had some company matters to handle"he replied nonchalantly but she could tell he wasn't saying the complete truth and not wanting to be a bother she kept quiet.
     Soon the caretaker came and cleaned her up just in time for Sawyer to arrive with medicinal porridge. She might love food but not this type. She wanted to refuse but it didn't look like she could actually refuse, so she grudgingly ate it. Blaming those stupid killers.
     When she was done, Sawyer came to pack up, stayed a while for Logan to brief him then left leaving the two of them together.
     "Why did you protect me?"he broke the silence and the question caught her off guard. Why did she do that?. Repaying her past mistakes didn't mean for her to die in the hand of any of his numerous enemies who could had  killed him with ten bullets in her last life.
     "My body moves faster than my head if I had another chance I'll think twice"his replied but she knew she would probably do it again.
      "There won't be a next time that's a promise"he said and she smiled. Although she was sure she was minutes away from dying, her willpower was quite stronger than that.
     "Evelyn who did you offend?"he suddenly asked again and she knew he was referring to her hired killers. She knew if she told him it was Clara he wouldn't believe her no matter what.
     "I have a lot you know I'm quite outstanding it annoys a lot of people so it attracts enemies. A beautiful person has a lot of haters so it can't be helped"she said with a proud smile.
     "You don't have to worry yourself First Master, I'll take care of that petty little person"she said with a smile but soon winced when her wound pulled her.
     "Stop being restless. You barely escaped death"he scolded her.
     "It just shows how incompetent death was if it couldn't take me away".
