BXBX NOVEL Chapter 328 - Maintain A Strick Protocol
Anna's POV:
The moment I heard from Tom that the attacker is worried about Rubeus uncle. For one second, I got a thought that what if Rubeus uncle appointed him to attack me?
Yes, I still remember how Rubeus uncle treated me and bullied me with his dagger words,
No Anna.
No...
You are thinking in the wrong way about Rubeus uncle. All the issues sorted out on our engagement party night, and he gave me the bracelet too. I looked again at my bracelet. I still remember his genuine feeling of apologies to me. Something is going on, I want to ask Rubeus uncle directly whether he knew about the attacker or not, but after listening to Mona, I feel like we should sort out the things by ourselves...
The attacker tried to attack me at the food carnival; it means he should be at the hospital while we are discussing about the restaurant. Immediately I looked at Tom.
Anna: Tom, can you please play the CCTV footage of yesterday's evening...
Mark: Yesterday's evening?
Anna: Yes, Mark, I want to cross-check once again the footage of Mona's Hospital, particularly when we are discussing about the restaurant name.
Mark: Yes, we need to cross-check it, and I am sure he is spying on us when we are discussing about the restaurant...
(By listening to us, Tom immediately played the video, and we four are busy in discussing to each other and we can see him just a few feet away but turned to the other side and listening to us.)
Mona: There he is...
OMG, I should increase my hospital security protocols; I got a flash of him; I observed him yesterday morning, but I thought he is one of my patients' attender, so I didn't take it seriously. From now on, I will issue identity cards to the patient attenders. So it's easy for me and my staff and security guards to find if some anonymous person entered these wards...
Mark: Yes, Mona, especially it's safe for you if you maintain a strict protocol.
(After listening to Mark, Mona turned to me.)
Mona: let me check your wound, Anna.
Mark: let me know if you are going to give the injection to her...
Mona: Why?
Mark: I will prepare her mentally...
Mona: I know how you will prepare her mentally; I don't let my Anna to suffer from your kiss.
Mark: Hello, Anna is my girl, and I have the responsibility to make her mentally strong through my kiss.
Mona: Really?
But you can take rest Mark, and I am not giving an injection to her...
Mark: What?
Why?
(I am shocked by listening to Mark's shameless argument and I feel embarrassed when Mona is teasing him.)
Mona: Because I am giving tablets today...
Mark: Okay, then, I will help her to take tablets.
(By finishing his words Mark is coming close to me by looking at my lips.)
Anna: Mark..!!!
(I scream in nervous, he paused and started laughing, after a few seconds we all laughed at Mark's funny teasing at me.)
Mona: okay, Anna, sit here. I will dress up your wound.
(Mona pointed me the chair, and I sit in the chair and Mona sit in another chair which is the right side of me, whereas Mark stands left side to me and Tom stands opposite to me. She started dressing my wound with the surgical spirit while Tom and Mark are starring at my wound. I closed my eyes very tightly and diverting my mind to escape from the pain. After a few seconds, I sense Mark placed his hand on my shoulder to make me calm down. I feel relieved by his presence, but suddenly I got the flash of last night's attack at the food carnival. I still remember it happened when I am eating ice-cream, and my ice-cream cup got fired by the bullet...
Wait, wait...
The bullet came from the left side of me, and my ice cream cup is a foot away to me. If he is a professional killer, his aim may miss by an inch but not miss by afoot. So, who is just an inch away to the ice-cream cup?
Mona: Anna, I am done with dressing up your wound.
(By listening to Mona's words, I opened my eyes and looked at my hand. She dressed my wound with a bandage, and it is exactly a foot away from me. I immediately looked at Mona and Mark, both of them are opposite to each other and we all four are arranged in the same position just before the attack. I again looked at my hand, and visualize in which direction the bullet may come...
It's from the left side of me, which is the attacker attacks behind Mark, and if the attacker triggers the bullet one inch away from my hand, it will directly hit to Mark...
OMG...
It means he didn't try to kill me; he tried to kill Mark...
The moment I realized the fact, tears filled my eyes, and my throat became heavy. Mark immediately came close to me to caress me...
Mark: Hey, Anna, treatment is done, you feel no more pain further, stay strong…
I immediately looked at Mark and got up from my chair and hugged him tightly and started crying. All of them are looking at me in shock, but before I said to them, I need to stabilize first, and I am trying to get stabilize...
Meanwhile, Mona came close to me and tapping on my back.
Mona: Hey, Anna, I am so sorry; I don't want to hurt you.
I immediately turned to Mona and tried to explain to her.
Anna: Th-theyy try t-to attack Mark...
"What?"
By listening to me, all the three shouted in shock at the same time.
