Chapter 18 - 18. Jack
n
n
nThe person laying in the pool of blood was none other than Jack, one of the two bodyguards Markus had arranged for Kizy. Even Markus was shocked at his act, as he was the one who had ordered them to protect Kizy with there own life.
nBut what he meant was to protect her from enemies like that. Who would have thought that at the last moment when Kizy was about to meet an accident, the bodyguard would take the blow instead of her.
nKizy immediately squatted down beside the unconscious Jack and tried to feel his pulse. But his pulse was too weak from the blood loss.
n
"Markus... please.. please save him.... please sa-
" and with that Kizy passed out.
nLuckily Markus was just behind her, to catch her in time. He immediately scooped her up in his arms before signalling Alex, the second bodyguard arranged for Kizy.
nBoth Jack and Alex were asked to follow Kizy all the time, except when she was at home. Thus they had been following her even when she left from hospital. They followed in a different car behind Kizy and they had witnessed how she was about to crash with the car. Since there car was just behind Markus's car, it was easier for Jack to quickly run and push Kizy away. But he wasn't able to save himself in time.
nAlex along with other bodyguards of Markus lifted Jack and placed him carefully in the car. Markus carried Kizy to his car and the driver didn't need any command at this time. He quickly took a U-turn and sped of towards the hospital again.
nBut unknown to all of them, a lot of passer byes had witnessed this scene. Afterall it was a rare chance to see Markus walking in streets. Not to mention them, even the people working at his company were not able to see him. Thus when they had seen him, all of them were clicking his photos or recording the videos.
nAlong with that, the accident had attracted a lot of people as well. Many of the youngsters had shot the video where Kizy was pushed by a man, how Markus had ran towards kizy, how they were worried for the man on ground and alas how Markus had picked Kizy up princess style before driving away.
nAll of them knew that Markus never had any woman beside him. But today he was seen with such a beauty. And to add the final cherry to this, his fear when Kizy was about to crash and his panic when Kizy fainted was enough for them to deduct how important she was to him.
nThus when Jack was undergoing a surgery and Kizy was given IV drip in the hospital, all online forums including the business and entertainmnent ones were in complete frenzy. The video where Markus carried Kizy in his arms had reached the top search and was the hottest topic at the moment on social media. All types of speculations were made based on this video alone.
n
"Who is this beauty here? Why haven't i seen her before this?
"
n
"Ohh my weak heart. I can't take this. How can my male god look this cool while simply carrying a girl. I wish it would have been me instead of her. I envy you girl
"
n
"Don't take my man away. How dare you recieve such treatment from him
"
n
"So does this mean that Markus won't be remaining on the list of most eligible bachelors now?
"
nWhen the entire city, or more like the entire country was busy commenting on this, a certain devil had transformed into the coldest iceberg from Antartica.
n
"I want the entire footage of that road, including the time before our car had stopped at that entrance.
" He barked at Joel who was trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.
nWhen was the last time his boss had been this angry? When he had first climbed the throne his father left for him, and many were rebelling against it. It was then when he had wrecked havoc in the entire underworld. People would still shudder when remembering those gruesome scenes that would be hunting them as nightmares for the rest of there life. Who would dare to question his position after those endless blood spilling?
nBut right at this moment, that very person was fussing over an accident which to him looked pretty normal. But he didn't dare to speak this out loud.
n
"And why the hell is she still asleep? Bring that damn doctor right now or else i am shutting this **ing hospital forever
" He shouted at Joel for the Nth time within past 1 hour.
n
"Who gave you the permission to shout at the top of your voice in hospital
" a weak and raspy voice said.
nBoth the men turned towards Kizy who was struggling a little to get up from the bed.
n
"Don't you dare get up or i will kill you right now
" Markus said and turned towards Joel.
n
"Go bring those quacks and ask them to verify if her condition is normal
"
n
"But boss the doctor said that lady boss fainted from fright. There is nothing wrong with her body. In fact if not for you, this IV drip will-
" Joel suddenly stopped mid sentence after watching feeling that murderous aura. He immediately dashed out of the ward wishing that for another four pairs of leg to run faster.
nOn the bed, Kizy sat up and watched this entire scenario.
n
"You really like courting death right little lamb?
" Markus asked.
n
"No Markus, i cherish my life more than anything.
" Kizy replied.
n
"That was why you stood with your eyes closed before that damn speeding car? Any sane person would try to dodge it with all he can, but you instead stood there motionlessly, closing your eyes to welcome an accident. And yet you have the guts to say you cherish that stupid worthless life of yours?
" by the end he was almost shouting at her again.
n
"Why do you care Markus? I don't think anyone would have been happier knowing that i am dead than you would be. And i am getting up as i want to see him
" Kizy finished.
nMarkus knew that by him, she meant Jack.
n
"Lets wait for the doctor to check you first
" Markus said finally.
nAnd thanfully the doctor arrived right on cue and removed her needle before announcing that she had no problem other than being a little malnourished and she could leave the hospital if she wanted.
n
"I can take you there but right now he is undergoing a surgery. So rest till we recieve any news about his surgery and then we can go
" Markus said.
n
"No i want to wait in front of the operation room. I want to see him as soon as he is out because all this was my mistake. I was entangled in my emotions and i stood there stupidly. So the person udergoing surgery should have been me. So the least i can do is wait for him
" Kizy said firmly.
nMarkus knew that this woman would never listen to him no matter what he said. Thus he simply nodded before supporting her a little and went with her towards the operation room. They waited for another half an hour before the doors to the room opened and Jack was being wheeled out.
n-----------
nHave a great day everyone.
