Chapter 44
Enzo’s POV
The moment I knew Bernhard was Andrea’s father, I had given up the thought of killing him.
Andrea had never experienced the warmth of a family in her entire life. She had lost her mother already. I couldn’t be the one who killed her father. That would be too difficult for me and Andrea to move pass.
So, I gave the order to stop the execution temporarily.
However, the unexpected happened at this moment.
Bernhard broke free and attacked me.
Being an experienced Rogue had increased his speed, and no matter how fast my reaction was, there was no way I could avoid his attack.
But then…
Andrea suddenly appeared in front of me!
The wolf claw pierced through her chest, splattering blood all over Bernhard’s face.
I could even see the sinful claw right through Andrea’s chest.
“Andrea!!!” I bellowed hysterically.
Andrea’s face was painfully white, and her eyelashes fluttered weakly. Her lips trembled with blood running down the corner of her lips, while her chest was completely drenched in blood.
Strong waves of fear and anger surged through me. I held Andrea with one hand, using the other to grip Bernhard’s neck, flinging him aside as hard as I could.
How dare he hurt my mate?!
Bernhard skidded across the ground, rolling a few times before finally hitting the concrete pillars under the execution platform.
The concrete cracked, a loud rumble echoing across the place. Bernhard fell to the ground harshly, coughing out a mouthful of blood.
I wanted to tear him into pieces at this moment!
But the remaining shred of sanity held me back. He was Andrea’s father, and I would leave this choice to her
But only if she woke up.
If there happened to Andrea, I would never forgive him
“Move! Get out of the way!” I roared, running wildly with Andrea in my arms.
My mind was completely blank, and Kyle grabbed me. “Get in the car. We need to get to the hospital!”
“Yes. The hospital…! To the hospital!”
The guards cleared a path for us quickly. Kyle stomped the gas and rushed to the nearest hospital
Andrea’s blood seemed to flow endlessly, and my eyes were red from anxiety.
She looked so weak… It felt like a gust of wind could blow her soul away.
I could only hold her tightly and call her name repeatedly.
“Hang in there, Andrea. Hang on! We’ll be at the hospital soon enough…”
However, the only response I had was her shallow, labored breathing.
“Come on! Hurry up!” I shouted at Kyle.
“This is the fastest I can go! Here’s some medicine to stop the bleeding. Use it first,” Kyle tossed me a first aid kit. “You need to calm down.”
Right. I needed to calm down.
S
I told myself to calm down as I fought my trembling hands to open the kit, where I saw two tubes of hemostatic drugs.
After injecting Andrea with it, her sever situation seemed to stabilize slightly, though her breathing was still faint.
Five minutes later, Kyle slammed on the breaks as the car came to a screeching stop in front of the hospital.
By the time the doctors took Andrea from me, I was already drenched in sweat.
“I want her alive!” I barked at the doctors. “Do you hear me? She has to live!”
“Yes, Alpha. We’ll do our best to ensure Luna’s life.”
The light above the emergency room lit up, and the door to the operating room closed tightly behind them.
“It’ll be fine,” Kyle said, patting my shoulder comfortingly.
“How could she be so stupid? Why did she stand in front of me?” I said with deep regret.
If I had been more careful, perhaps none of this would have happened. Yes, that’s right. All of this happened because of my arrogance.
Again and again. Andrea crumpled to the ground in front me, covered in blood.
“Just as you wanted to protect her, she also wanted to protect you,” Kyle said.
I let out a long, shaky breath and asked, “Where’s Bernhard?”
“We’ve locked him up.”
I pinched the middle of my brows. “Don’t let him die.”
“I know.”
“What I meant was, don’t let him commit suicide.”
Kyle was stunned at my words. “Why would you say that?”
“I don’t know what he was after for, but one thing’s for sure… He didn’t intend to live after this.”
As I had already given the order to spare his life, Bernhard’s sudden attack confused me. If he were smart enough, he should have known that keeping his head down was the only way to survive.
Besides, if Andrea was really his daughter as he had claimed, he should had nothing to
worry.
Instead, he chose the worst way to escape-killing me.
It’s almost impossible to begin with. And even if he had managed to kill me, there’s no way he could get away from the entire Pack’s pursuit.
Surviving was clearly not his priority, so Bernhard must have had a deeper purpose to his
actions.
Kyle frowned. “Okay, I got it.” From NôvelDrama.Org.
After hashing out the details on how we would move forward after this, I focused entirely on the emergency room.
I dared not to imagine what I would do if Andrea were to leave me. I was sure that my world would collapse, and my heart would die with her.
I don’t know if I could bear the consequences if that happened.
Thirty minutes later, the door to the emergency room opened. Andrea was lying in the hospital bed, looking weak and fragile.
Her eyes were closed, and she looked lifeless.
“How is she?” Even my breathing was light as I asked, my voice trembling.
“Alpha, we’ve done our best to save her. It’s up to Luna whether she will wake up or not. If she wakes up tomorrow, it means she’s out of danger. Otherwise.”
The doctor trailed off, but I understood what was left unsaid.
“I see,” I replied, my voice heavy. Every word from my lips felt like it had been squeezed through my broken heart, and the pain was unbearable. Tomorrow, Andrea would still be here to hug and kiss me… right?
