Chapter 617 - Leaving Him (1/2)
DOR!
Aiden's body immediately jolted when he felt the shot. A second later, excruciating pain followed.
His white shirt quickly turned red. Blood red…
Everyone around was still running fast in all directions, trying to escape the scene while screaming in fear. Meanwhile, Aiden's guards immediately arrested Natali.
Anya saw the incident like it happened in a movie. Everything went very slowly in her eyes.
She could see everyone running in fear…
She could see Aiden trying to hold Natali back…
Then Aiden's body collapsed to the floor…
She could see everything clearly.
”AIDEN….!” Anya shouted and immediately ran down from the stage towards her husband.
She didn't know if Natali still had the gun with her. She didn't care that Natali was there. The only thing that caught her eyes was Aiden.
Keara was sitting on the stage and tried hard to drag her feet so she could look down on the stage. What happened?
She saw Aiden fall to the floor and Natali screaming like crazy.
Nico and Tara then rushed toward Aiden. Tara immediately knelt beside his body and held Aiden's stomach with both hands, trying to stop the bleeding from the wound.
No! This was not what she wanted!
Keara never intended to hurt Aiden.
If Aiden died, what should she do to the child in her womb?
Anya felt tears blocking her view as she ran towards Aiden. Her hands trembled violently when she touched Aiden's clothes that were covered in blood.
Aiden was lying on the floor and smiled weakly when he realized that his wife was fine. Anya was fine…
”Anya, I love you. If I…”
”You will be fine. Aiden, I can't live without you! I won't be able to live alone without you! Can you hear me?! You can't leave me!” Anya shouted. ”Anyone please call an ambulance. Please!”
”Harris already called an ambulance. Uncle, you know she has a gun. Why did you fight her alone?!” Nico was also almost crying seeing his uncle like this. But he must remain strong. He shouldn't make his aunt panic even more.
”Shut up!” Tara was so used to dangerous situations like this that she seemed very calm. ”Aiden, don't say anything and stay with us.”
Tara glanced at Anya's stomach and then looked at Aiden, as if saying that the man had to survive for the sake of the child in Anya's womb.
But Aiden had lost too much blood. His face became more and more pale.
Tara didn't dare to move an inch. She kept pressing the wound on Aiden's stomach tightly, trying to stop the blood from flowing.
”Aiden... Aiden...” Anya held Aiden's hand tightly. But she could feel the man's grip getting weaker and weaker. His hands were getting cold too.
Seeing the blood flowing from Aiden's stomach, she cried like a helpless child. ”Aiden, you have to survive. The ambulance will be here soon!”
”Don't be afraid. I'll never leave you,” Aiden replied with a weak smile.
”Don't say anything. You will be fine!” Anya continued rubbing Aiden's hand, trying to warm it.
Kneeling beside Aiden, Tara put all her strength into staying in her position, but she was helpless.
”Nico, hurry out and find out why the ambulance isn't here yet1” Tara insisted.
Fear, panic, helplessness…
All these feelings seemed to be mixed up in Anya's mind. Never once she thought that she would lose Aiden. But the blood pooling on the floor made her realize that this man before her was not an immortal being.
The man she'd always considered as perfect was laying weak in front of her, battling for his life.
Aiden might leave her forever...
She could lose Aiden and never be with him again…
