Chapter 237 She Took The Bullets For Him

Day Twenty Five...

~~*****~~

Aiden and Stephen were finally able to catch up with Nathan and Abigail. They saw their car being parked near the tunnel.

But the moment they were inching closer and closer to their spot, Stephen and Aiden noticed that something was off. There was another car parked on the other side of the road.

Stephen frowned when he saw Nathan just standing in front of his car. 'Where is Abigail?'

"Stephen, Look!" Aiden pointed his finger at the guy who bent over to pick his gun up.

Both Aiden and Stephen were shocked beyond belief when they took a closer look at what was happening there. Abigail was lying on the ground unconscious while a gunman was trying to take another shot, aiming at Nathan.

Nathan seemed like he was frozen in his spot. He was not in his right mind at this moment. Stephen could tell that Nathan was in a state of shock wherein a flashback happened as this scene triggered the traumatic event he experienced in the past.

Aiden gasped when Stephen pulled something inside his bag. "Oh my gosh, why are you bringing a gun with you?"

"For a situation like this!" Stephen replied matter-of-factly, a cold glint flashing through his eyes. He rolled down the car window and fired at the man who was holding a gun.

Bang! Bang!

Instead of shooting Nathan, the attention of the gunman was diverted because of Stephen. He exchanged fires with Stephen as he tried to flee. This was now the time to leave.

'Mission Failed!' Jack thought to himself. He was supposed to shoot Nathan but someone protected him.

Before Stephen and Aiden could catch him, Jack immediately rode his car and sped off.

'You can't die, Abigail... you can't die... We are not yet done talking.'

As Nathan said those words, another flashback appeared in his mind. A scene where Phantomflake was lying in his arms.

'Yes. Just like her.... You shouldn't die just yet. Our confrontation is not yet finished.' Nathan was silently praying in his mind.

Fifteen minutes later... they arrived at the nearest hospital. Nathan rushed Abigail to the emergency room while Stephen called Axel. He was the one who informed Axel to track the culprit.

"If you have to hack the CCTV cameras on the street, do it just to find him. The plate number of the Black Sedan car is XYW220," Stephen informed Axel.

"Got it, Doc. I will communicate with our IT team." Axel responded. "Please send me the exact location and coordinate where the incident happened. Is Master Nathan just fine?"

"Yes. He is fine. But Abigail got shot three times. She took the bullets for Nathan's sake. She is currently undergoing a major operation. Let's just pray that she will be fine." Stephen said in his sad tone.

Axel fell silent for a moment. Young Master Ethan was the first person that came to his mind. What would happen once Little Ethan found out that something bad happened to his Miss Abi?

"Move now, Axel. We don't have time to spare. This is the second time Nathan's life was put in danger. The enemies are getting bolder and bolder."

Axel didn't expect that Stephen would be more involved with their Supreme Leader's business. He could feel his concern and at the same time, his anger.

As far as he knew, Stephen was always there to support Nathan. He accepted the fact that his best friend was a leader of a mafia. And he didn't judge him. Stephen was one hundred percent supporting Nathan.

"Okay, Dr. Zhou. We will do our best to catch the culprit." Axel hung up and started to move.

Aiden also arrived at the hospital. He saw Stephen at the entrance of the Emergency Room.

"How is Abi?" Aiden asked Stephen. He looked around searching for Nathan and Abigail.

"She was transferred to the Operating Room. Come... Let's check on Nathan. He might still be in a state of shock."

Aiden and Stephen went inside. They just hoped that Abigail would survive this. They were afraid that Nathan would blame himself once again because of what happened.

"Sparks' bodyguards are on their way. After the operation, if everything is fine, we will transfer Abigail to the City Hospital." Stephen patted Aiden's back. "BTW, Nice drive. I'm glad we came on time," he added, praising Aiden.
