A CRAZY LOVE - Episode 187
*MARKUS’s TEAM*
Markus’s team was doing a fair job at invading the Professor’s palace, with Markus leading two teams combined effectively, unknown to the traps the professor was luring them in.
“Boss, Master Andrew’s team is facing some difficulties. They are outnumbered by the enemy’s men.” One of the men from Markus’s team updated him as they smoothly crossed the first defence line from the left side of the palace.
“Andrew will take care of them easily. Don’t worry about him.” Markus said, his tone a little off.
And why won’t it be? First of all he was unaware of Kizy’s condition. Though he knew that the professor would never harm her, how could he feel settled with this sole reason? Afterall the love of his life along with their baby was involved in this!
Secondly though Joel’s bleeding was taken care of, he knew Joel was still serious.
Then there was Nicole who was recently shot and her health status was still unknown. Though Victor was accompanying her, he was worried about his little sister.
Lastly, Jason’s team hadn’t updated him on anything yet. Though he knew that Jason, Rose and Harry made a powerful trio and with his men accompanying them, it would only make them stronger, but no information from their side made him unsure of what they were up to.
He was sure that they must have landed by now, but since there was no update, it only meant that Jason had come up with an alternate plan. And if he were to guess, he knew that Jason must have prioritized Kizy over this battle.
But he couldn’t do the same. Afterall someone needed to distract the Professor and his team while maybe Jason would rescue Kizy, making things easier for them.
The thing that was troubling Markus the most right now was no significant action from the Professor’s side.
Except for those missiles from earlier, and then attacking Kizy’s team and abducting her, the professor was too silent.
Though there were hordes of men coming at them, he knew that this was nothing. These were just starters and the main course was yet to arrive, which would leave them in no good condition.
But he was confident enough to surpass all the obstacles that were to come in his way today. He was here to end it for once and all, no matter however he needed to end this.
Just when he was about to take his next step, his pupils constricted, before he bent to his left, dodging a ‘SWISH’ sound that went speedily, way too near his right ear.
“Take cover!” He instructed his men, before a heavy rain of poisonous blades came their way, injuring some while some managed to dodge them in time, just like Markus.
‘Now he starts.’ Markus thought to himself, knowing the Professor was finally beginning the fight from his side.
*KIZY*
“Miss Hazel.” One of the men from Professor’s side came ahead.
Kizy just looked at him, not interested in replying to him at all.
She had tried to search for loopholes but there were none. And as if this was already any less, the professor had sent more men to guard her up, making it even more impossible for her to plan an escape route.
“Here.” He said before passing a glass of milk.
“I don’t want it.” Kizy said, not wanting to do anything with food or beverages from the Professor’s side.
“Professor himself ordered us to take care of your meals and make sure that you or your baby is not starved.” The man said, hoping that Kizy won’t make it difficult for him.
“I don’t trust him.” Kizy said, making him unable to speak anymore.
“I can taste that for you. Professor would never dream of poisoning you.” Suddenly Sia appeared out of nowhere.
“I don’t trust you as well.” Kizy said, without giving a d@mn about whoever she was talking to.
She still remembered how Sia had tied her up when her teammates were made to go through the worst treatment she had ever seen.
“I know you h@?? me or the professor as well. But let me be clear about one thing. I don’t know why, but he cares about you a lot, truly a LOT!! So don’t ever doubt him.” Sia said, trying to hold herself back from going against Kizy to defend the professor.
“If he is so good, why has he held me captive this way? Are you all maniacs who show their care by kidnapping people?” Kizy asked, trying to trigger Sia even further.
“You!!-” Sia was about to speak when thankfully the men who had brought her in interfered in time.
“Miss Sia, we are not supposed to trigger Miss Hazel in any ways,verbally as well. The Professor would definitely not like this.” The man said, timely stopping Sia from losing her control and taking a wrong step which might give a way to Kizy for her escape.
*VICTOR*
Victor was finding it difficult to see those doctors cut through multiple layers of Nicole’s skin and muscles, while she lay there motionless, insensible to all the pain that was being inflicted on her body.
“We need more blood!” The doctor said after their stock had ended and yet there was no stopping to Nicole’s continuous blood loss.
“I can donate.” Victor said while stepping ahead, knowing both he and Nicole shared the same blood group.
“But you may need to go back and fight. We don’t know how long she will keep bleeding and what amount of blood her body requires. How can we do this then?” The doctor said doubtfully, or more appropriately indirectly telling Victor that this may land him in a difficult situation.
“Don’t worry about that, my haemoglobin is quite high. So just take mine.” Victor said before finally arriving near Nicole’s bed.
And within minutes, he was made to lie down, his blood being transferred to Nicole as the doctors resumed opening her abdomen for further surgery.
Victor lay there quietly, looking at Nicole who was barely breathing, a tornado of emotions creating chaos inside his mind and heart, which he was trying to shut down.
He was watching her intently when suddenly the doctor was sprayed with blood before a fountain of blood could be seen, splashing out of her body, panicking Victor till he could feel his heart about to come out from his chest.
“Found it! Artery forcep.” The doctor told his assistant doctor who instantly passed him a scissor-like instrument.
And instantly the bloody fountain was gone.
“Cautery.” The doctor said, taking some other instruments, doing some more actions before he took a breath of relief himself.
“Next the bullet.” He said before proceeding ahead with quick and precise movements.
‘Nicole please wake up early. You don’t know how terrible it is to watch your bubbling self lie there unconsciously. I failed in my duty this time, but this will never happen again. I promise to protect you forever. Please just get up and smile at me like you always do.’ Victor thought to himself, his heart shattering into pieces.
“Are you alright? Do you feel any discomfort or weakness?” The second doctor asked Victor who was still giving his blood, after donating almost more than 380 ml of blood.
“No.” Victor replied quietly.
“Though her bleeding has stopped, her body has lost a lot of blood. If you are okay with this, we would need you to transfer a little more before her condition has stabilised.” The doctor informed Victor on Nicole’s current condition.
“It’s alright.” Victor said with a short nod.
‘Nicole, I don’t care what happens to me. I just want you to get up and remain healthy forever. Promise me you will never risk your life this way again. Or let it be. You are free to do wh@??ver you want, but I promise to never let you get hurt again.
Once you are up, and this whole thing is over, I will personally go and meet Mr. Evans.. I mean grandpa. I will beg him to let you be my life partner, my soulmate. I have already lost a lot till now, but no more. This time I am ready to go against anyone, even god himself if I have to. So please get up soon, love.’ Victor thought internally, hoping everything would get back to normal asap.
“There.” The doctor said, finally finding the bullet.
He was in the process of taking it out when their ship shaked a little, interrupting his actions before rapid footsteps were heard.
“What. Was. That?” Victor asked in a chilled voice, his murderous intent too obvious.
Victor was the most cool personality amongst the Black command, and to get on his nerves would have been the most difficult task. But right now he was so angered that he won’t even blink twice before ki||ing anyone who was to interrupt Nicole’s treatment.
“Master Victor!! Someone has attacked us from behind. Almost seven ships are heading in our direction, and we are unable to recognize anyone out of them!!” The man briefed in one breath, knowing they were up for a life and death battle.
“What??” Victor asked, knowing this was the worst trap the Professor had laid.
Letting them all inside and then attacking from outside while they were already engaged in internal battles, what other option did they have.
And to make it even worse, he, Nicole along with the team of doctors and a few men were the only ones at the boundary. Rest all were already nearing the headquarters.
Plus Nicole’s condition was still uncertain. How was he supposed to take care of seven ships when this was all he had??
“Take that d@mn bullet out and finish this off real quick. I need to go right now.” Victor said, cursing his own d@mn luck.
Out of all the worst possible situations he could ever think of, this was sure to be the worst. He could not get and leave as Nicole’s condition was not yet stabilised.
But he couldn’t keep waiting like this as he needed to take care of those ships which were loaded with enemies who he didn’t even know about.
The doctors, without delaying another millisecond, resumed back, even when the ship was still shaking.
Another shockwave was felt by the members on board, signalling that the ships were nearing them, and were taking a more aggressive stance, which was no good for them.
“Done! We just have to close the wound now.” The doctor said, he himself was covered in cold sweat.
“We can stop the blood transfusion now!” Second doctor said, understanding the gravity of the situation.
“Yes.” First doctor agreed and within seconds, the blood transfusion was stopped while other options like Intravenous fluids were opted to maintain Nicole’s body fluid level.
“Take me to the control room. Also inform Markus and Jason about our situations to warn them. I will definitely do my best on the edge, but the situation doesn’t allow me to guarantee that everything will be alright.” Victor said while standing up, looking at the man who had informed him about the ships.
Victor took a step towards the door, before turning back, only to look at Nicole with nothing but only love and affection in his eyes.
‘I love you, Nicole. No matter what happens to me, I promise to keep you safe. I won’t repeat the same mistake twice…’ Victor took a deep breath, his eyes tearing up.
‘So you have to promise me.. promise me that no matter if I am there with you or not, you will survive this and come out strong. Promise me to live happily and if something happens to me, then marry the guy that grandpa, Markus and second sister will choose for you. Promise me that you will forget our fleeting memories and live your life without any regrets. And lastly promise me to not blame yourself if I… if I was to die today.
Maybe I was never destined to have a forever. First it was Anna, and now I dra?ed you in this condition. So I only pray for at least you to find your forever and settle down with him to live your Happily. Ever. After.’ Victor was still trying to capture and imprint her image in his mind when suddenly another man rushed inside.
“Master, we are in deep trouble!!” He shouted.
