Chapter 43 - Three year old child!

After another 45 minutes of crucial waiting, doctor appeared out of the room, heading towards Rhehan who had gone all red and teary-eyed.

"Boss, don't worry! Ms.Rose is doing just fine," he said reassuringly patting his shoulder.

Rhehan closed his eyes in relief. The last 45 minutes had been a tremendous torture to him. He had even planned to prepare his will and kill himself, if somthing happened to Rose.

Doctor waited for Rhehan to ask certain questions, but Rhehan was completely quiet, standing with closed eyes.

The doctor himself decided to explain further. "The bullet luckily just tore her skin and did not penetrate the arm. Just a few stitches have done the needful. Her head had suffered a mild concussion which caused her to faint. The effect should not last for more than a few hours."

Rhehan finally opened his mouth to speak.

"So you mean their is nothing serious?" He asked with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Exactly! She is a physically strong girl. I have seen quiet rare patients like that.The bullet could not penetrate her arm as she has extremely strong muscles", the doctor applauded.

Rhehan then recalled a fact about Rose's master "Xio Lee". It was a known fact that even sharpest of daggers or swords can not hit him or penetrate his body and harm an inch of his skin. He had adapted himself this way with tremendous practice and use of some herbs and essential oils. Rose had been trained under him for 20 years, surely she would have been trained similarly.

Rhehan had a huge grin on his face and he felt like a parent whose child had just been praised for his good character.

"Can I go and see her now?" Rhehan exclaimed in excitement, jumping like a three-year old child left loose in a candy store.

"Sure. She hasn't woken up yet but I expect her to come back to conciousness within an hour, " assured the doctor and left the room.
