Chapter 134

Jimmy looked down at Triffany and a smile curled up in his lips. "This is such a perfect idea Triffany, a life for a life." Triffany shook her head profusely

In one instant Jimmy lift the gun over to Carlos and she saw him cock it and her eyes dilated as Jimmy clicked, she pushed Jimmy away and runs in front of him and Carlos.

Bang!

Triffany froze in place as a single tears rolled down her cheek as she stare at Carlos.

"No Triffany!"

Jimmy was shocked for a while as his lips parted, what follow was two more gunshot as Shanne and another guard came behind Carlos hold a gun.

Someone dropped behind Triffany’s back with a thud, but all Triffany did was stare at Carlos who hands run over to her and held her before she dropped into his arms.

"No, Triffany." Fear enveloped her eyes and she could see the same fear in Carlos eyes as she raised her bloody hands to his cheek.

"Triffany..." Tears pulled down his cheek, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes bored into hers. "No...Triffany..." He gasped.

"It's a re..lief." Triffany said softly as her hands touched his cheek with few blood staining his face. "I am so...glad...You are al..ive."

"Don't speak." Carlos told her as he looked over to Shanne. "Call an ambulance!" He shouted and turned back to Triffany.

"I..love.." Tears rolled down her cheek.

""Don't say a word Triff." Carlos put pressure on the wound.

Everywhere in the garden was suddenly getting silent, she could only hear the gentle chirping of the birds and Triffany’s eyes began to close.

"Stay with me Triffany." Carlos shouted and she open up her eyes again and looked at him, she could hear his voice, she could also feel her warm blood pour over her shoulder and her vision was blurring.

She held his hands and tears filled her eyes. "I don't wa..nt to die...Carlos." Her breathing became shallow and she pants heavily, he grip on Carlos was already loosening.

"Stay with me, please..." Carlos said again in hoarse and terrified voice.

Carlos was spacing around outside the emergency room with his hands running through his hair. Gabby rushed over to the hospital when she heard what had happened to Triffany from Shanne.

"Carlos." Gabby called out as she walked over to her brother with tears in her eyes, Carlos eyes was red too and he looked so terrified. "What happened to Triffany?" Gabby asked.

Carlos parted his lips to say something but no words came out, Gabby had never seen Carlos this terrified so she knew it wasn't good.

Garrett and Eric rushed in too shortly after Gabby came in. "Gabby what happened?" Garrett asked as they looked at Carlos who was no leaning on the wall with trembling hands.

His hands and clothe was soaked with blood as he looked down at it, he was shaking terribly and Gabby walked over and held his hands.

His lips quiver as he looked at her. "She..." He pressed his lips together and tears rolled down his eyes. "She has a low chance of serving Gabby..."

Gabby covered her lips as her eyes dilated. "Gabby...blood, there was blood every where." Carlos runs his bloody hands over his head.

"Am so scared Gabby...am scared I will lose her like I...lost our parents." He covered his hands on his face and slides down the wall as he wail in pain.

Garrett and Eric looked at Carlos, they have never seen him this was for a long time, he was like a lost lamb and a cold puppy, not like the regular and famous heir of Glammaly estate.

Gabby was also sobbing at a corner and none of them spoke a word, as they were only silently waiting for the doctors to come out.

Short after a doctor walk out of the operating room and Carlos walked over to him, his eyes searching the doctor’s eyes as he asked in a rush. "How is she, what happened to my wife?"

Gabby had also come beside him, so as his two friends who were present.

"Luckily she was brought to the hospital in time when her heart is still beating, she is one lucky lady, the bullet is out and it missed all her vital areas, she will survive Mr Carlos Zack."

At this rate, everyone seems to breathe a sigh of relief, and Carlos looked up immediately with curiosity in his eyes.

"And the baby?"

His question also alarmed Gabby and the others as they stare at the doctors face waiting for his response.

"The baby is alright, the shot was on her arm, not at her stomach or abdomen, she will live and so will the baby."

Hearing this Carlos closed his eyes and squat to the floor, all his body was weak, but it was due to the relief he had felt, hearing all this had made him so glad, was like that for few seconds before he got up.

"Can I see her now?" He asked the doctor.

"Yes you can, but she is not awake at the moment, I will also need you to come with me, there are some papers you need to sign and more things we should discuss in my office."

Carlos nod and doctor left, he looked at Gabby who has a thin smile on her lips, but it was soon cover with anger.

"Where is that Bastard that did this to Triffany!" She demanded to know.

Carlos hesitated for a while before opening his lips to speak. "Jimmy is dead."

Carlos sat down in the room with Triffany after signing necessary papers with the doctors and explaining things to the police who had taken Jimmy's body away.

He held Triffany’s hand with his warm hand as he look at her face, he remembered how she had run between him and Jimmy and had taken the bullet instead of him.

She was really ready to say goodbye to him and had put her life and the life of her baby in danger. "Foolish woman." He muttered as he lifts her hands to his lips and kissed it.

As he pressed his warm lips to her hands, Triffany opened her eyes as her eyelashes fluttered, first the whole room came in a blur and when she had adjusted to the room, she saw that it was all painted in white and smelt like a hospital.

She turn her eyes to look at the perks holding her hands. "Carlos." She called out softly and he looked up at her immediately.

"Triff. Are you awake now?" His brow raised as he stare at her face, touching her cheek. "How do you feel?" He asked without hesitation.

Triffany close her eyes momentarily and open them again. "Pain." She sad a single word and press her lips together again and a single tears rolled down her cheek.

"I will go let the doctors know you are awake." He was about to get but, but she held his hands. "Triff." He looked at her face and sat back.

"Stay with me." She said softly. "Don't go, this feels like a dream and I don't want to wake up from it."

Carlos blink as he was confused at what she was saying, he took her hands in his and touched her cheek softly. "Hey Triff. You are still alive, this isn't a dream."

"It feels so real." She blinks, her vision suddenly blurring. I don't want to wake up." She said softly again, before closing her eyes.

"Triffany, Triff." Carlos called out but she didn't respond. "Hey Triff." She didn't blink or open her eyes, he left her hands immediately and called the doctor.

The came over as he explained how she woke up and said few words before closing her eyes again.

The doctor checked her up and turned to Carlos whose hands were folded across his chest waiting anxiously for the doctors words.

"She is okay, she is just too tired and feel asleep again, it could also be some reaction from the drug we gave her and she lost a lot of blood and was give a blood transfusion, she just needs more rest." Rye doctor assured him and Carlos breathe a sigh of relief.

The doctors left and he looked at Triffany for a long while before stepping outside the room. He held the corner of his brow, he had been watching her for two days now and have had no rest, his headache and he looked untied.

Gabby who had came to relief him stood up and looked at Carlos. "You should go home now." She said softly, she had tried to talk him into it for a while now, but he had refused.

"Carlos you need rest too, and you have to take your bath and have something to eat, I am here to watch over her." Gabby told him but he didn't respond, he just sat down next to her on the bench by the corridor.

"Carlos, Triffany is okay, and I heard you tell the doctor she woke up, she will be fine and the baby is fine too, let me watch her fir now while you go take your bath and rest at home."

Carlos closed his eyes and leans back to the chair. "Shut up Gabby, you are so noisy." He muttered and put his hands over his eyes.

Gabby rolled her eyes and sighed. "You are just so stubborn, if you had been this stubborn and stick to her side then she wouldn't have been shot at the first place!" She barked.
