240 Chapter 240: Extracting tissues

After a few hours on the ship, a chopper came. It landed on the deck where Daniella, Peyton and Patrick were waiting and later brought them to the laboratory.

"Is it safe here?" Daniella asked Patrick as they got off of the chopper.

"I hope so."

Peyton and Daniella stared blankly at Patrick.

Daniella turned to Peyton and handed her the bag pack, "clear the laboratory Peyton, if one refuses to leave, kill that person."

Patrick's face went pale, eyes widened as he shifted to Peyton who was smiling from ear to ear, a pistol in each of her hand.

"Are you really going to – kill the people here?" Patrick asked stuttering.

Peyton nodded nonchalantly, "she's my boss so I must do what she asked," then she smiled and winked as she walked past him.

As the sunlight passed through the curtain, Evan woke up. He groaned when he felt a pain in his head.

Then he sat down only to realize that it almost afternoon. He blew out a harsh sigh and got up. Went straight to the shower and put on his casual clothing.

He grabbed his phone, no calls or message from Daniella. He let out another sigh and left the room. His stomach was growling, probably because he got drunk last night without having his dinner.

As he walked along the hallway, a faint scream squealed from one of the rooms. Evan's head shook, this was a five-star hotel yet the sound from the room could be heard in the hallway.

He stopped in front of the elevator, his mind was in somewhere else. So, when a hand patted his shoulder, Evan's heart almost escaped from his chest.

Breathing so hard, he turned and saw Ken smiling at him.

"Where have you been?" he asked.

"Just here and there, anyway there will be an auction later in the Golden Club. They said there will be a royal, princess or queen or something. Want to come?"

Evan's eyebrows creased, wondering why Ken was so interested with the princess or queen.

"Do you want her?" he asked.

Ken's face twitched in disgust, "ew, no. They are going to auction an albino gorilla and I want to buy it."

"Where are you planning to put the gorilla, Ken? You can't even take care of a dog."

Ken ticked his tongue, disbelief that his friend was not being supportive.

"It's for that short woman. One time, when I was with her, she heard on the radio that a gorilla was shot to save a boy and she cried. Like a lot and my car almost fall in the cliff."

Remembering that day, Ken's skin crawled. The Elevator door opened, Evan stiffened to see the woman he met on the plane with her wrist tied up and mouth gagged.

Tears in her glossy eyes. Evan suddenly felt guilty. Seemed like she was captured from when she left the airport.

He wanted to say something but Jared was also there. He's afraid that if he said a word, Jared would kill the woman.

"Good Morning!" Jared with his casual smile greeted them graciously. Then he placed a hand on the woman's head and tapped it lightly.

"She's the queen of Galla and she's going to be the main asset for the auction tonight. So, the higher bidders will get a taste of her," saying that maniacally, Jared held the woman's chin, "if you get her pregnant then your kid will be the heir of Galla."

Ken and Evan stepped into the elevator, both were looking with sharp eyes at Jared.

"We are not interested," Ken said coldly, he turned around and shoved both hands in his pocket. Not feeling remorse by the woman's states.

But unlike Ken, Evan felt as if a hand was gripping his stomach.

"I will be there," Evan said as the elevator reached the ground floor.

Jared gave him a lopsided grin. Then he looked at the woman's eyes shining with fear.

"Are you really going to buy her?" Ken asked as they walked towards the restaurant in the hotel.

"Yes, I saw her getting captured at the airport and I didn't do anything. I felt somehow responsible."

Ken blew out his cheeks, Evan might be cold but he was not used of ignoring a woman in distress.

--

Daniella in the bed was breathing heavily. Her heart pounded stubbornly in her chest, her skin started to pale and sweat.

Inside of the room filled with medical equipment, Patrick exchanged his wide eyes between Peyton holding a sterilize scalpel and Daniella with disbelief.

He just heard Daniella ordering Peyton to remove some tissues in her body and the latter grabbed a scalpel casually like it was her calling and sterilized it.

"Peyton, have you done this before?"

Peyton shook her head, "nope. This is my first time holding a scalpel."

"Are you not scared that this might kill her? We can pay a doctor to extract her tissues."

"It's fine Patrick. We can't let any doctor touch my body." Daniella said putting all her faith and life to Peyton.

"Don't worry. I watched a lot of movies, I know how it works," Peyton went closer to Daniella and stood next to the bed. She held the scalpel in her mouth and turned Daniella around.

"My dad thought me how to open a chicken body, this shouldn't be hard," as she said that, the scalpel in her mouth fell on Daniella's back.

Daniella groaned, her heart pounded with when she realized the decision she made.

"maybe this is a bad idea. I can do it myself," she said in a panic and tried to escape but Peyton pinned her body down to the bed and reached for a knife. Without a warning, she made a cut on Daniella's body.

A loud scream screeched out of Daniella's mouth as the metal scraped her skin. She drifted into consciousness, exhausted by the pain and scream. When she back out the world was a blur, random images and Evan's voice floated aimlessly around in the pool of her thoughts.

A tapped on her face momentarily brought her back to reality, but the second she felt the pain quivering her body, she lost it again.

Peyton took a sigh, Daniella has been passing out and waking up in the last five hours. She's just relieved that her wound was healing.

"She's alive, right? I am scared that she will get an infection," Patrick said with fear. Sweat on his forehead rolled nonstop in his face since the operation started.

"She will not die, right?" he continued after a sigh.

"If she dies, she dies. What can I do? I can't bring a person back from the dead " Peyton said and left.

Patrick looked with worried to Daniella. Seemed like the operation went well but he still feared that she might get an infection.

When Peyton came back, she has a few boxes of hair colour and scissor. Perplexed, Patrick asked, "are you going to colour your hair?"

Peyton shook her head, then she pointed at Daniella with her lips and said, "not me, her. This is my revenge for knocking me out earlier."

Daniella pulled away from the wallowing darkness, she knew that she needed to wake up, to face reality. So she got up, the pain was gone but the mark from the operation stayed.

Her eyebrows creased. Peyton made a shallow cut so it healed quickly.

With titled head, she looked at Peyton, "where did you learn to cut?" she asked.

"I have a chiropractic degree, so I have a little knowledge about the human body."

"So, the story about the chicken is a lie, right?" Daniella asked as she put on her clothes.

"Oh, it's true!" Peyton handed the tubes with tissues she got from Daniella, "but that chicken was our dinner and it absolutely doesn't have a connection with you."

Daniella's expression flattened. When she turned to Patrick, he was looking so shocked staring at the tablet in his hand.

"There's going to be an auction in the Golden Club later, and Daniella you won't believe this but remember the gorilla you rescued in Africa?"

Daniella rose a brow, she remembered it since the gorilla was an albino and the last of it's kind.

"Yes. I gave it to the zoo in Berlin. What's wrong?"

"Well, he's no longer in Berlin. He's going to be sold in the auction later, it will happen after Allan's fight."

Daniella blew out a sigh, so many things kept appearing. Her main dilemma now was how to get Allan and the gorilla at the same time.

After some hours, they all left the laboratory on the way to their destination, The golden Club while Daniella has no idea that Peyton had coloured her hair in bright red.
