THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 67's. The Incident 3
"We'll handle it from here, miss." How can I tell Uncle David Andrew's hurt because of me. I'm so confused right now. But I have to tell him. Otherwise I'll be guilty.
My hands still have traces of blood. I told myself to call Uncle David. Two rings feels so long now.
"Eliza, you're calling. I heard Andrew wasn't there." I cried first hearing his voice.
"Uncle forgive me."
"Eliza why are you crying so, sorry for what Uncle doesn't understand."
"Andrew got shot for protecting me?"
"Foot? You mean shot how? Who shot him, where are you now? More importantly how is he?" A series of questions directly asked Uncle.
"I just took her to the hospital. He was shot in the chest on the right. It's because.." I told you who shot him stammering. Pamsn heard it and let out a long sigh.
"It's not your fault. If he was still conscious when received by the doctor, Uncle was sure the chances were good. We must wait patiently. Uncle's going there early in the morning. As soon as he's out of the operating room, let Uncle know that's okay, too."
"I'm sorry Uncle." I still feel guilty for him.
"There's nothing to forgive you're innocent. This has all happened. He's a strong boy, he's happy to protect you. Uncle knew that was what he would do even if the same conditions happened again."
"It's just a small town, what if there's no competent doctor Uncle."
"Tomorrow Uncle will invite a doctor to assess his condition, if possible he will be treated in a better hospital. You calm down everything's gonna be okay. You're not hurt."
"Yes Uncle, no I'm fine."
"He will recover. Please accompany her..." Without being asked, I would definitely accompany him.
"We've managed to get the bullet out. He'll be fine. Wait a minute they will observe to make sure she is fine before she walks into the usual treatment room. Nothing to worry about."
I can finally breathe with relief."
He was still under the influence of an anesthetist when they placed him in an ordinary room but clearly his breath and life were not threatened now it was already an incredible relief.
The police came to ask me for information later.
Telling Uncle this news was an incredible relief. At 3 am he goes into the patient's treatment room with the infusion and all the monirors are still attached but he will be fine.
I sat waiting for him with gratitude. Before long I fell asleep unconscious exhausted in my chair where I was waiting.
Woke up because the nurse checked the medicine to be given to her. At that moment he opened his eyes.
"Dumb shit, welcome back." I greeted him while laughing. I can't believe I'm this happy to see him open his eyes again.
"Eliz, good to see you again. Apparently I wasn't destined to die. I have to learn to be smart." He can joke with me. I saw his gray eyes smiling at me.
"Absolutely, I'll call you a fool if you die. Luckily you're pretty smart." I smiled and was moved again. Seeing him dare to take a bullet for me, what more can I ask for. Tears of relief just fell.
"Why are you crying, there's nothing you need to cry about."
"I owe you my life."
"No, you don't owe me anything. Because it's my job to protect you." She smiled a little. I saw him with mixed feelings. I took her hand as a thank you. If there wasn't him maybe I'd stay the name now.
That bullet might have pierced my heart. He accepted it for me.
