Chapter 304 - Good Stab (2/2)

”Do you love Andy anymore?”

”No.” Lena was not enjoying all these throwback questions Kris was giving her.

”We were young. Love at a young age is dangerous... in my mind, all I had to focus on was my mission and kill count. Becca couldn't hang out with me so she hung out with Ace. The stupid boy on puberty fell in love with the only woman who would smile at him.

Gave the woman everything only to be stabbed and say that she had only ever loved his best friend. I didn't even know they were a thing until I came back to here a few years ago. But that was too late... she left him, chased after me. That's the reason why he chose to stay with my grandfather... and I choose to leave with my mother.”

Kris looked at Lena who was still diligently looking at the door.

”I thought he betrayed me for my grandfather and he thought that I left him... guess in the end, it was that b*tch that ruined us. We both need a good stab at her. But, her death is not on my hands. I felt like I have come in between you and Gary. You both can get a good stab at me if you want.”

Lena squeezed his hand. ”Ace... that's a nice name.” She replied instead.

”...” Kris knew that Lena was just trying to make him feel better. ”Don't you dare call our son that name. You can't start thinking about baby names until you have a baby.”

”Gary's a nice name too.”

”Lena!” Kris raised his voice and pinched her nose. She smiled back at him.

Just then, the door finally opened and two doctors came out. Tye was one of them.

Lena stood up and looked at the disheveled doctors.

”How is he?” Lena asked.

”The surgery was a success... but we won't know how much the damage is until he wakes up.” The other doctor replied. ”I'll go bring the patient to his room. Thank you for the help Dr. Tye.”

He left and then Tye looked at Lena... and then at Kris.

”When he had his spasms... I originally thought that it was a psychological response to him being tied up.. considering what he had been through before. But after that, I noticed that there seemed to be a bigger cause. When he got to the hospital, we found out that he had a small bleed in his brain. We immediately sent him into surgery and repaired it.” Tye explained.

”He's going to wake up though right?” Lena was worried.

”Hopefully... There doesn't seem to be much damage but we won't know until he wakes up and do a full examination.”

”Okay.” Lena was still holding Kris' hand tightly for support.

”I am sorry, Lena. It is my fault. I thought that Gary was mentally fine after out long therapy... but I guess the trauma may be still lingering.”

”It's not your fault... he also told me that he was fine. I truly believe that he---” And then Lena stopped mid-sentence.

She looked at Tye and then just remembered the most important fact regarding Gary. Gary is not just Gary... he is also Erik. The worst thing that ever happened to Gary was when he got shot... but for Erik, he had been through some things too.

Erik grew up in a rich family and even though he was not heir to his father's business, he was still a target. If Lena recalled, Erik and younger sister got kidnapped when they were young. Erik escaped two weeks later but his sister didn't make it.

That was all that was ever reported on the news... and this is why Erik, her boss in the other world, never lock the doors. He always carries around a sharp tool with him.

”Can I go see him?” Lena asked, trying to hold back her tears.

”Ummm...” Tye looked at Kris. Lena followed their eyes movements and was confused.

”We'll keep him here just overnight until we can move him.” Kris sighed. ”We can't keep him here long, Lena. It's not safe for him... if his father finds out, which I am pretty sure he has already.”

”Another bastard.” Lena gritted her teeth.
