Greg’s POV
LOOSE the baby?
Those three words sounded like a thunder, exploding in my brain. My face turned pale immediately.
And before I knew it, I fell on my knees, in front of the nurse.
“Please! Save them!! Don’t let anything happen to them especially Gianna” I cried.
I didn’t care if I was now being too emotional, just that I couldn’t help it, this was pertaining to the love of my life.
“Why have you waited for so long before bringing her to the hospital?”, She asked, looking disdainfully at him and he lowered his gaze in melancholy.
“Be at ease. They are out of danger now”, the nurse finally tendered her voice seeing how broken and anxious I was becoming.
I snapped my head up at her, widening in joy.
“Really?” I thrilled in joy.
She nodded.
“Yes, they are fine, but the mother is so weak, if care is not taken, she might lose the baby. She looked really nervous in coma and this is really bad for pregnant women. As her husband, you are supposed to pay more attention to her, otherwise she will lose the pregnancy sooner or later”, she explained intelligently.
“I will take good care of her”, I uttered and thanked her, rising up to my feet.
She smiled and congratulated me before airing out of the ward.
I moved forward and placed my lips on her forehead as I kissed her gently and tenderly.
I was so excited and nervous. Jeez! I couldn’t believe I was soon gonna be a dad, like seriously? Gianna was gonna make me a father.
Just then, Nelson walked in looking all tensed up.
“Greg, Lionel!” He uttererd fidgeting.
I narrowed my eyes. What could have happened to him? It was true, come to think of it, I haven’t seen Lionel since we arrived to the hospital.
Although it was his habit to leave without informing anyone and then later return, but he never completely stay away from me most especially when there is so much trouble.
“What happened to Lionel?” I asked.
“Yakuza -” he was about speaking and I snapped my finger making him stop immediately.
Anxiety began to increase in my mind. I quickly stood up and dashed out runnning, as the others saw me confused.
“Where are you going?”, Nelson shouted.
“Track Lionel’s location, immediately!”
Nelson nodded and ran towards his car to take his tools out.
Author’s POV
Yakuza was brought into the waiting room of the mental hospital. Only a bipolar sickened mental health person could do what he did, pull the trigger at his son. His hands were tied.
He smirked as he saw Greg there in the room.
“Tsk Tsk Tsk…. this is how you forget the people who are ready to sacrifice their lives for you huh?”, Yakuza taunted as Greg bolted towards him grabbing him by the collar.
“Where is Lionel? Where is he!!!” he shouted as loud as he could.
Yakuza laughed an evil laugh.
“You have just twenty minutes to save him and the location is thirty minutes away. Can you save him or… will you carry his dead body?”
Greg’s eyes widened in terror.
“When did you kidnap him and how?” He barked.
“Well, I wasn’t the one who kidnapped him. Lord Grandeur did, but I maintain I have a hand in all of it”, he said simpering.
“You must be sick in the head! You are gonna rot in jail”, I barked letting go of him.
Greg’s POV
“You son of a -“.
My phone suddenly rang out interrupting and cutting me short.
It was Nelson. I hoped he had good news.
“Yes, were you able to find him?”
“I got the location! He is thirty minutes away from where you are right now”, Nelson confirmed.
I gritted my teeth.
“Send me the address now”.
I ran outside leaving the cops to deal with Yakuza.
Soon I hit the accelerator increasing the speed to the fullest. My mind was spinning, as I had so many thoughts in and out.
…Flashback…
“What are you doing, Greg? You wanna kill yourself with those drugs? You know it can be harmful to you, especially now that your heart condition is affecting you constantly”, he uttered dragging the box of medicine away from me.
“I wanna die Lionel, look at me. What the heck am I leaving for anyways? My parents abandoned me to die, so my twin sister. No one really loves me -“.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Shhh! Don’t say that again Greg. We love you. It doesn’t take only your blood to be your family, we are now your family, and you aren’t gonna die Greg. You are gonna leave a healthy life, I gonna search for a new heart for you. Even if it means me dying so you could leave I will do it”, Lionel uttered.
Tears pooled out of my eyes.
“Don’t cry. We will survive and make a name for ourselves. Not just you, but the four of us”.
“I have already talked to someone about you, he is gonna get back to me pretty soon, if he does, you are gonna be free again Greg. No more heart problems”, he said and pulled me into a hug.
…End Of Flashback…
I gritted my teeth as I reached an abandoned mall building. I looked at my wristwatch, only four minutes left.
I got out immediately, looking around anxiously. I have got little time with me.
I needed to save Lionel on time. Why not? He had sacrificed his happiness for me a countless times, he had really been a best friend, the best of the best.
My eyes averted towards the roof.
“No… Noo!!!!” I shouted as my eyes widened in shock, seeing Lionel almost hanging down from the roof top of the mall.
I sprinted inside in a blink of an eye, as fast as a flash. Taking the stairs I darted towards the roof.
