Chapter 712 - Trouble in LA Medical Center (2) (1/2)

Aiden is driving toward LA Medical Center. Sarah is next to him, glancing at her phone every few seconds to check the time.

”Promise me that you will not fight unless absolutely necessary…” Sarah pleaded while looking at Aiden anxiously. ”…and if that happens, remember what my mom taught you.”

He took a deep breath. ”You think it's them?”

His right hand is holding her left, and she can tell that both of their palms are sweating.

”Whoever it is, they are after Sophia. If it's any other hospital I might think it's something random. But this is LA Medical Center… there is a high chance they are watching the place because of Anna, and that they went after Sophia when they found out that she came for a checkup… Promise me.”

”I will keep that in mind.” He said in a cold voice, and Sarah was dejected that he didn't promise her. But she can't force him.

Sarah regretted that she told him about this. If she came by herself, then she would not need to worry about him.

Guilt washed over Sarah when she realized that not telling Aiden about this would be the same thing he wanted to do when he suggested that they should split up. They have the same thoughts: to keep each other out of harm's way. Sarah felt foolish. The only thing she wants is for them to be together, and when thinking that he is putting himself in danger, she wished that he is not with her. Sarah took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. How can she blame him for stupid ideas that she is having herself? She is happy that she kept those thoughts for herself.

”I'm glad you are with me.”, she finally told him. ”Just… don't expose yourself. Even if it's not them, there is a high chance that they will be watching.”

He tightened his hold on her hand and gave a small nod.

Aiden understands what she is going through, and he is happy that she accepted him to be with her. Because there is no other place he would rather be than next to her. Always.

Inside LA Medical Center…

Lazo is wearing doctor's coat, and Mari is in nurse's uniform. They approached Levi and Ryan, Sophia's and Felix's bodyguards, who are sipping coffee in the lobby.

”Are you employees of Sophia Hill?”, Lazo asked.

Levi and Ryan confirmed.

”Patient got moved to a different ward and asked us to escort you there.”

Levi frowned and reached for his phone to call Sophia. They told them to wait in the lobby. Any changes should come from Sophia or Felix.

”You can't connect successfully now.”, Mari placed her hand over his phone, preventing him from making the call. ”Patient is in an isolated room for scans, the call will not go through. Her husband is accompanying her. You will be able to see them through a glass window.” She smiled gently.

Levi hesitated for a moment and then kept his phone back.

Levi and Ryan followed 'doctor' and a 'nurse' outside of the lobby area.

Few minutes later…

”Good thinking!”, Lazo praised Mari as they watched Pavle and Simo drag unconscious Levi and Ryan into a storage room. ”When he went for his phone, I almost thought that we will be found out.”

”Now what?”, Simo asked.

”We wait for Mila to give us a signal that the coast is clear, and we go to meet Sophia.” Lazo grinned while rubbing his hands.

”Her husband is with her.” Simo reminded Lazo.

”He is one man, and there is three of us and Mari. We all had training, and we are not beginners, right? And even if he is an exceptional fighter, can he overpower all of us while protecting his pregnant wife?”
