CHAPTER 14- Hospital

Dylan POV

I could feel Amelia's emotions as I drove out of the company.  she looked sad and she wouldn't stop crying. I had to drive fast to her apartment. with the rate I drove, one could think I was a deranged man.

"Turn left here" she pointed at the left side of the road. I looked at the street and couldn't believe she was staying in a place as bad as that. The houses were built with no space and a waste bin was in front of every house. When we got to a point she signaled for me to stop.

"Right here, wait inside the car Dylan. I have to get my mum," she opened the car door and tried to rush out but I stopped her. 

"Calm down Amelia. Wait, breathe in and out, "I advised her because she looked like she could faint. she did the breathing and bolted out of the car without listening to any of my words.

Amelia never listens.

I waited in the car for a few minutes and when I didn't see her I came out of the car and walked into the apartment. As I neared the apartment I caught a suspicious figure lurking around the apartment. I couldn't see the person's face but I knew the person was there for a purpose. I quickly rushed into the apartment and met Amelia on the floor unconscious.  Her mother sat beside her crying. When she finally noticed my presence, she shouted at me but it wasn't me she was shouting at, she was shouting at something else or someone else.

"Are you alright ma'am? " I asked her but she continued screaming. "Okay I'll help you now, I'll take your daughter to my car then I'll come back for you" I assured her. I carried Amelia and rushed outside to where my car was parked, I put her safely into the car and rushed back to get her mother.

As I rushed back into the house I had to cover my nose to stop the smell, something was burning and it didn't look good.

"Come ma'am we have to leave now, "I told her but she protested. I coughed out because the smoke was getting too much. "We have to leave now please"I begged and finally she agreed to come out with me. We both walked out of the house. As I neared my car, a blast sounded and threw both of us away with force. I landed on my chest and groaned out in pain, for some minute I couldn't hear anything or feel anything and when I finally did, I heard the sound of sirens coming towards our direction but before I blacked out I saw a black hooded man watching from afar and then I blacked out...

The next time I woke up was on a hospital bed, I held my head as I struggled to stand up.

"You might wanna lay back there," a voice said.

I struggled to open my eye and saw a worried Larry staring at me. "You know for a man, you sounded like a weak baby "he teased and punched my hand.

"Ouch, Larry that's hurt. I'm an injured person you know, "I glared at him but he only chuckled "Where is Amelia? "I asked because I needed to make sure she was okay.

"She is okay, she is with Sophia right now" he informed me ...

"How about her mother? "I asked to make sure she was okay.

"Well, when the blast went off she was hit pretty bad and because she is deaf, it affected her a lot," he explained.

"Wait. She is deaf but Amelia never...."I said and Larry finished the sentence for me.

"Told you right, well she only can explain why she didn't tell you," Larry patted my back in a manly way. "I must say, you were a hero. You saved two people," he chuckled and stared at me for a second before saying anything. "I was wrong about you Dylan and because of this our relationship was destroyed. well I'm sorry Dylan," he begged.

I had to blink twice to be sure of what had happened.
I couldn't believe Larry banks begged me. I couldn't say anything and just burst out laughing.
