Danika wanted to help but knew she would only distract Evan instead of helping him out under such a circumstance.So, she could only hide behind the window and cower in fear.
The gunfire continued.
Soon, Evan climbed out the window and came to Danika’s side.
“Let’s go!”
“Those men…”
“It seems that Eustace has brought his men here.We should leave and let him deal with them,” Evan said.
Without waiting for Danika to speak, he took her by the hand and made to leave.
Danika heard gunfire not far away and was worried about Eustace, but she also knew it was better to leave quickly.
If she and Evan were caught, it would only hinder Eustace’s effort in dealing with those men.
The two cautiously escaped, and Danika realized they were in a normal residence.
The house wasn’t big, and it only had a small courtyard.
That was where they were hiding at the moment, observing their surroundings and figuring out where to go.
It seemed the abductors were all busy dealing with Eustace outside the perimeter of the courtyard.
Danika knew that she and Evan had to hurry and not waste the opportunity that Eustace had created for them.
“Danika, step on my back and climb over the wall.”
Evan chose a relatively low wall.He bent down and let Danika step on his back.
“Okay.”
Danika didn’t hesitate.
Every extra unnecessary word uttered was a waste of time.
Although any form of movement was difficult for Danika, she still succeeded in climbing over the wall with a formidable spirit.
Just as she was waiting for Evan to climb out, footsteps came from not far away.
She instinctively looked and saw that the person coming was Eustace, which made her happy and relieved.
“Eustace!”
“Danika, are you okay?”
Eustace walked over to Danika hurriedly.
But in the next second, a turn of events occurred.
Eustace had been busy looking for Danika and didn’t bother to take care of all the men who had kidnapped her.
“Be careful!” the two men shouted in unison, but the sick Danika reacted very slowly.
She was about to be hit by a bullet when a figure shot toward her and pushed her to the floor.
The two bodies fell to the floor heavily, accompanied by Evan’s muffled groan.
Eustace turned around and shot the man who fired at them, instantly taking him out.
Then, he walked over to Danika in frantic steps.
“Danika!”
“I’m okay.Send Evan to the hospital!”
Danika was trembling with fear, and she could feel the warm blood soaking her clothes.
She could see that Evan’s face was pale.
At that moment, she even forgot to breathe.
Eustace helped Evan up, then carried him on his back and supported Danika as they walked toward a nearby car.
He looked back at Paul, who was not far away, and with just one glance, Paul understood what he meant—leave no one alive.
As the car sped on the road, Danika was a little dazed and starting to lose consciousness.
But when she turned her head and saw Evan lying motionless beside her, she instantly regained her senses.
She couldn’t pass out right now—she had to take him to the hospital, find the best doctor for him, and make sure he was okay before she could relax.
Eustace was driving at full speed.
“Don’t worry, Danika.He’ll be fine.”
Although he didn’t like Evan, he didn’t wish for him to be grievously injured.
He got hurt in his attempt to save Danika.
If he died, Danika would remember him for the rest of her life.
“Hang in there and don’t die, Evan! You can’t die!” Eustace prayed wordlessly.
Spend the Rest of His Life in a Wheelchair
When the car drove into the hospital, a large group of experts was already waiting, and they hurriedly pushed Evan into the emergency room.
Eustace came to Danika’s side and supported her.He was about to comfort her by saying that Evan would be fine when he noticed how hot Danika’s body was.
“You still have a fever?”
That morning, he thought Danika was fine because she looked alright.She’d taken some fever medicine and slept through the night, so she should have already recovered.
Who would have thought that she was still sick?
“I-I’m fine.I need to know whether Evan is alright.”
Danika insisted on waiting right outside the emergency room.
Eustace wouldn’t let her do as she pleased and lifted her up right away.
“Be good, and don’t move around.I’ll monitor Evan’s condition.In the meantime, we need to get you to a doctor.”
Danika couldn’t object, so she could only lay in Eustace’s arms as he took her to see a doctor.
Perhaps because Eustace’s scent relaxed Danika’s frayed nerves, or maybe she’d really reached her limit, as soon as Eustace stepped into the hospital, she completely lost consciousness.
Eustace was practically running with Danika in his arms to the doctor’s office.
After taking her temperature, they found out that she’d already reached a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
If she continued to burn up like this, her brain might become damaged as a result.
When Danika woke up again, it was already dark outside.
She looked at the ceiling for a moment in a daze, seemingly not yet realizing what had happened.
Suddenly, she sat up on the bed with a jolt.
The IV needle in her hand almost got pulled off, and Eustace, who was lying somewhere beside her, was also awakened by her movements.
“Danika, you’re awake? I’ll have someone bring you some food,”
Eustace said as he walked over to her.
He reached out to touch her forehead.
After he was sure she was no longer running a fever, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Danika grabbed Eustace and asked, “How’s Evan?”
She still didn’t know where the bullet had hit Evan, but she knew it must have been very serious because he had bled a lot at the time.
“Relax, he’s not dead.He suffered a spinal injury and needs to stay in the hospital for a few days,” Eustace answered.
Danika wasn’t stupid.
Although Eustace’s words were vague, she could still tell that Evan’s injury was serious.
The spinal cord was the most important part of the human body, and if it was injured, the consequences were severe.
She looked up at Eustace with tears in her eyes.
“Is he in a vegetative state now?”
A spinal injury would very likely lead to a vegetative state.
