Nate closed down the section to the building he was responsible for, he didn’t know what else to do because business couldn’t come to a standstill.
He didn’t want anyone to know what had happened until he had to reveal this information.
Nate tried to together if someone suspicious had entered the club last night or if Kyle had any altercation that would make someone want to hurt him.
How did the person manage to get Kyle to follow them?
It had to be someone he knew or Kyle might have raised an alarm.
No. What if the person threatened to shoot up the place and Kyle had no choice but to follow them?
He was a rich man that just opened a club walking around without security.
However, no one could tell he was wealthy simply by looking at him but this was the only thing Nate could do.
Kyle was in the ICU, he wondered if Kyle had any family to call or otherwise.
Stay connected with
The hospital would have contacted his next of kin but it had been a few hours and no one had come.
Nate would imagine that they would drop everything and rush towards the hospital the moment they heard their loved one was in danger.
But that wasn’t the case, Kyle was fighting for his life and he had no one but Nate.
This robbed Nate the wrong way but there was nothing he could do about it but be present for him.
The fact that he was in the ICU right away, was a reflection of how urgent this situation was.
But a doctor soon came out and he had a grim expression.
Nate hoped that he was simply exhausted rather than having some bad news.
“Are you the one responsible for the patient who came in earlier?” the doctor asked, to which Nate nodded.
He heaved a loud sigh. This was the same doctor who had taken care of Ella on that fateful day.
So in a sense, he knew Kyle.
“I’m happy to say that the patient is stable but has lost too much blood,” The man reported.
Nate didn’t know if he should be relieved or not, losing too much blood couldn’t be a good thing.
“Do you need my blood!?” Nate questioned, the desperation in his voice telling the doctor he would do anything.
“There is no need to worry about that. Our blood bank is taking care of that,” The doctor pointed out and he doubted that Nate could donate.
Kyle had one of the rarest blood types, AB- and they knew that if they transfused the limited blood in their bank, they could potentially have a new donor.
But before the conversation could develop any further, Jane and Ella came busting through the day.
Nate recognized both ladies from last night.
“Where is he!? How’s he!?” Jane questioned, ignoring everyone around her as she went straight to the familiar doctor.
The self-conscious Jane no longer cares about how she is perceived at that moment.
The doctor had called them because he didn’t have anyone to call regarding Kyle when he was initially brought in, Nate only came hours after the call.
“He is fine. Unconscious but fine, the surgery was successful,” The doctor reassured her.
“H-How did this happen?” Ella questioned.
They were both out of breath suggesting that they had run here.
“I’m afraid I cannot go into details but it appears the patient was stabbed but it just missed his vital organ, an inch deeper and we would have had a different outcome,” The doctor confessed.
However, he reassured them everything would be alright before leaving the vicinity.
“You… You were at the club last night,” Jane pointed out.
Unlike Ella, she wasn’t aware that Kyle was the owner of the place.
“That is right. I also remember you too…” Nate said, pausing as he stole a glance at Ella.
She was even more beautiful than he remembered but now wasn’t the time for such thoughts.
“Kyle and I are… friends,” Nate introduced himself but the pause before the last sentence made it sound like he was uncertain about their relationship.
He wondered why Kyle chose him of all people. He trusted him with his life and that wasn’t something Nate was ever going to take for granted.
Nate explained the situation to them in great detail before he could complete the story.
Jane hugged upon realizing that this man right here had saved his life.
“Thank you so much!” Jane sobbed. The thought was scary because she could have lost Kyle.
Ella realized, at that moment, that Jane’s worry earlier that day must have been about this.
She felt guilty that she dismissed it because what if Kyle had died?
Ella knew she would never forgive herself if that happened but who would want to hurt him?
That was the big question.
–
The assailant, Mike, returned home to clean himself. He didn’t know why Jane made him do this.
If only she agreed to go out with him then none of this would have happened but he had removed the problem.
Mike truly believed that he had done the right thing and there was a slim chance that he was already dead.
Mike was certain that he struck a vital organ but Kyle’s body jerked back at the last second, this was unknown to Mike or he would have finished the job.
He stabbed and twisted it within to open up the wound, if that knife made contact with a vital organ, there was no way Kyle would survive even with the paramedics in play as it would have been too late.
Mike hummed and danced in front of a mirror with a broad smile on his face
He tossed his clothes inside the washing machine but Kyle’s suspicions about Mike were spot on.
Mike was a dangerous man that needed to be stopped but he was even better at covering his tracks as he muttered under his breath.
“One more…”
