DOR!
Aiden's body imdiately jolted when he felt the shot. A second later, excruciating pain followed.
His white shirt quickly turned red. Blood red…
Everyone around was still running fast in all directions, trying to escape the scene while screaming in fear. anwhile, Aiden's guards imdiately arrested Natali.
Anya saw the incident like it happened in a movie. Everything went very slowly in her eyes.
She could see everyone running in fear…
She could see Aiden trying to hold Natali back…
Then Aiden's body collapsed to the floor…
She could see everything clearly.
"AIDEN….!" Anya shouted and imdiately ran down from the stage towards her husband.
She didn't know if Natali still had the gun with her. She didn't care that Natali was there. The only thing that caught her eyes was Aiden.
Keara was sitting on the stage and tried hard to drag her feet so she could look down on the stage. What happened?
She saw Aiden fall to the floor and Natali screaming like crazy.
Nico and Tara then rushed toward Aiden. Tara imdiately knelt beside his body and held Aiden's stomach with both hands, trying to stop the bleeding from the wound.
No! This was not what she wanted!
Keara never intended to hurt Aiden.
If Aiden died, what should she do to the child in her womb?
Anya felt tears blocking her view as she ran towards Aiden. Her hands trembled violently when she touched Aiden's clothes that were covered in blood.
Aiden was lying on the floor and smiled weakly when he realized that his wife was fine. Anya was fine…
"Anya, I love you. If I…"
"You will be fine. Aiden, I can't live without you! I won't be able to live alone without you! Can you hear ?! You can't leave !" Anya shouted. "Anyone please call an ambulance. Please!"
"Harris already called an ambulance. Uncle, you know she has a gun. Why did you fight her alone?!" Nico was also almost crying seeing his uncle like this. But he must remain strong. He shouldn't make his aunt panic even more.
"Shut up!" Tara was so used to dangerous situations like this that she seed very calm. "Aiden, don't say anything and stay with us."
Tara glanced at Anya's stomach and then looked at Aiden, as if saying that the man had to survive for the sake of the child in Anya's womb.
But Aiden had lost too much blood. His face beca more and more pale.
Tara didn't dare to move an inch. She kept pressing the wound on Aiden's stomach tightly, trying to stop the blood from flowing.
"Aiden... Aiden..." Anya held Aiden's hand tightly. But she could feel the man's grip getting weaker and weaker. His hands were getting cold too.
Seeing the blood flowing from Aiden's stomach, she cried like a helpless child. "Aiden, you have to survive. The ambulance will be here soon!"
"Don't be afraid. I'll never leave you," Aiden replied with a weak smile.
"Don't say anything. You will be fine!" Anya continued rubbing Aiden's hand, trying to warm it.
Kneeling beside Aiden, Tara put all her strength into staying in her position, but she was helpless.
"Nico, hurry out and find out why the ambulance isn't here yet1" Tara insisted.
Fear, panic, helplessness…
All these feelings seed to be mixed up in Anya's mind. Never once she thought that she would lose Aiden. But the blood pooling on the floor made her realize that this man before her was not an immortal being.
The man she'd always considered as perfect was laying weak in front of her, battling for his life.
Aiden might leave her forever...
She could lose Aiden and never be with him again…
"Aiden, I really love you. I love you so much. I thought two years was enough for to forget you, but it turns out I can't erase you from my heart. I want to live with you for the rest of my life. You can't leave . I won't let you die and leave !"
"I also don't want to be apart from you. I…" Tears rolled down the corners of Aiden's eyes.
"Uncle..." Nadine cried seeing her uncle's condition getting worse.
"Nadine, if I... Please take care of your aunt for ," said Aiden.
"Uncle, you will be fine. You have to look after auntie! Do you want your child to be born without a father? For the sake of the child in her womb, you also have to be strong!" Nadine said with a sob.
Even though Nadine didn't say it clearly because of her crying, Anya could still hear that she was talking about a child.
"Whose child?" Anya looked at Tara with tears on her face, looking confused.
Tara felt even more dizzy and then she glared at Nico. His little sister was really stupid.
At tis like this, she even talked about the child in Anya's womb. What if Anya was shocked and couldn't bear to accept all of this at once?
This could be dangerous for her pregnancy!
At this ti, Tara was busy helping Aiden with all her strength. But she still had to explain to Anya about her pregnancy.
"Anya, listen to carefully. Don't get too emotional and take a deep breath. Aiden will be fine," Tara said, starting her explanation. "The first three months are the most dangerous tis in pregnancy. I was worried that your body was too weak to sustain your pregnancy, so I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be sad. You have to stay strong. For Aiden's sake too. Now calm down," Tara added.
Anya was silent for a mont and then she looked down at her stomach.
She was pregnant.
She was pregnant with Aiden's child.
"Aiden, do you hear it? I'm pregnant with our child! You will be a father!" Anya looked hopefully at him. "You have to endure this. For my sake, for our children…"
Aiden's face grew even paler. He could only nod weakly, unable to answer Anya's words.
Everyone there was really panicked and scared, especially Anya. She could only hold Aiden's hand tightly and kiss the back of the man's hand repeatedly.
"I beg you please don't leave . I beg you…" Anya's face was full of tears.
When Tara felt her hand getting cramped and unable to hold on anymore, Harris finally arrived with the dics.
"Aiden, the ambulance is here. Hold on!" Anya said in a choked voice.
The dics imdiately took first aid from Tara and led Aiden to the ambulance.
Tara looked really exhausted. This very dangerous situation also drained all of her energy. Her hands felt cramped and her legs sore from kneeling for too long.
Nico imdiately supported her when she wanted to get up. "Are you alright?"
Tara then nodded while still looking at the ambulance.
Anya followed the dics and was about to enter the ambulance, not wanting to part with Aiden. But one of the dics imdiately stopped her and asked her to get into her own vehicle with other families.
Tara went straight to Anya and embraced her. "Anya, let Harris accompany Aiden. Don't worry, he will be fine. You co with in Nico's car."
Anya's tears kept flowing as everyone tried to separate her from Aiden. She closed her mouth, trying to hold back her tears. She was afraid that the sound of her crying would make Aiden worry.
"Auntie, the ambulance has left. Let's go to the car and follow them," Nico looked at Nadine and Nadine imdiately took Anya, leading her to Nico's car.
Their car rushed to follow the ambulance. After getting into the car, Anya imdiately cried out loud. She looked at his now trembling hand, the sa hand that had previously held Aiden's tightly.
"Anya, don't cry. Rember you're going to have a child with Aiden," Tara said, wiping the blood on her hands with a wet tissue.
Anya imdiately stopped crying. She took a deep breath and tried to hold back her emotions.
Nadine looked at Tara's fierce face and imdiately defended Anya. "Sis Tara, don't make my aunt even more scared!"
"Who told you to tell her about her pregnancy at a ti like this? Being too sad and emotional like this can be dangerous for her pregnancy!" Tara said, scolding Nadine for being too reckless.
"Forgive . I was too panicked earlier so I didn't have ti to think before I said it," Nadine said with regret.
"Tara... My stomach hurts," Anya gasped as she felt the pain in her stomach. She could not cry anymore because at this mont, the pain she felt made her scared to death.
Would she lose her child too?
