"Joshua," Noah screamed at the top of his lungs when he saw his friend push Maggie out of the way. His eyes widened in horror, and he rushed to his friend, who seemed to be in pain from the looks of his face. However, before Noah could reach him, Joshua dropped to the ground. The bullet had hit him in his left shoulder.

Maggie too was petrified to see her savior fall to the ground, and she too sprinted to him, panicking the moment she saw Noah\'s hand drenched in blood. He was holding Joshua in his arms as he tried to wake the man, who was slipping into unconscious. "Joshua, please stay awake. Please."

Maggie knew the reason for Noah\'s anxiety and why he looked so distressed. Although Joshua was not hit at any dangerous spot, the man had a condition. He suffered from hemophilia, that is his blood never clotted. Now, he had been shot, Joshua had to be admitted to the hospital, and Noah knew he could not delay time. The man\'s eyes were almost shut, and it would take them more than twenty minutes to reach the hospital. 

Also, taking him to the warehouse where Ian was attending to injured Underworld men was not possible. The base lay farther away from the hospital; it would an additional ten minutes and, Joshua did not have that much time. Moreover, Ian would flip out to see Joshua in this condition. To him, Noah and Jo were his closest family, and any injury to them was something he could never accept. Noah still remembered how he had tortured the man who had shot him a few months ago.

Keeping the matter from him was impossible, but asking Ian to attend to Joshua too was not a good option. That man would become a monster if something were to happen to him. So, the best choice right now was to call Aria. 

"Ronnie," He yelled, calling the man who had no idea about the disaster that had struck Joshua. He was outside the warehouse premises when the incident took place. After sending his men on the chopper, he was returning to inform his Boss about his personal chopper ready to depart when he heard Noah\'s shout. 

What he saw shocked him to the core, and he dashed forward to help his Boss, who trying to support the man. "We need to leave soon. Joshua is bleeding heavily." Ronnie understood what the man was hinting at, and he helped his Boss to support Joshua as they led the unconscious man to the chopper.

The pilot\'s eyes widened seeing a bleeding Joshua. But he did not question it and started the chopper the moment everyone settled inside. "Call Aria and tell her to come to the Regal Medical Hospital soon. Tell her, it\'s an emergency."

Ronnie was already halfway following his orders. "What about Master Ian?"

"Let\'s inform him once we reach the hospital. He is needed at the base too. We cannot leave the men unattended." Ronnie understood what Noah wanted to convey and stopped mentioning Ian.

Aria and Ivy were waiting for Noah and his team to return. However, more than two hours had passed, and they had no idea what had happened. The wait and the suspense were killing them, and they were unable to sit still. Every now and they would look at Ivy\'s phone, hoping to receive some sort of news. However, there was nothing. Nada.

"I hope they have rescued Maggie," Ivy muttered, and Aria sighed lightly. She was worried sick. All she wanted was to reach the warehouse and see the situation herself to make sure everyone in Noah\'s team was fine, and that Maggie was safe.

Right at this moment, Ivy\'s phone rang, and the two girls jumped at the sudden disturbance. "It\'s Ronnie." Ivy picked it up right away. "Hello, Ronnie. What happened? Is everything alright? Is everyone alright? How is Maggie? Is she with you? Are you returning home?" Ivy fired her questions, not allowing the man to speak a word.

"Miss West, Maggie is with us. May I speak to Madam, please. It\'s urgent." Ivy could sense the urgency in his voice, and she handed the phone to her sister without asking for further details. Aria frowned at her, only to receive a shrug in return. Aria had not missed the look of relief Ivy had given her, assuring her that Maggie was safe.

"Yes, Ronnie? Is anything the matter?" 

"Madam, you need to reach the Regal Hospital as soon as possible."

"Why?" Aria narrowed her eyes in worry, her relaxed expression vanishing as soon as it had come.

Ronnie explained what had happened and what was Joshua\'s situation currently before begging her to hurry up. The call ended quickly, and Aria turned to her sister who was looking at her expectantly. "Ivy, I need to go to the hospital. Joshua has been shot."

"What?" her words were like a thunderbolt to Ivy, and she collapsed to the floor. Aria rushed to hold her, seeing her distraught expression. Barely a second ago, she had been relieved to find that Maggie had been rescued, only to find that her man had man been shot. It was given that Ivy would react this way.

"Yes, they are bringing him to Regal Hospital. I need to go soon."

"I\'ll accompany you." Aria nodded at her, for she knew her sister would never stay back, not when her beloved was in danger. The sisters picked up their things, and they bolted out of the mansion to see Kaito waiting for them. 

"Get inside," He opened the door for them, and Aria and Ivy did not waste time in asking him how he knew where they were going. "Ronnie informed me." Kaito clarified before he closed the door and got into the driver\'s seat. It was like a hurricane on the road with Kaito driving at lightning speed. However, neither sisters cared. They had to reach the hospital soon, especially Aria.

"Aria, please save him." All of a sudden Ivy burst out crying, and this was one of the rare occasions Aria was seeing her sister cry. Ivy held her hand and sniffled softly. "Please save him. Please. I cannot stay without, please." She hiccupped when tears started to run down her face. She could not make coherent sentences, yet Aria understood what her sister was going through. That was exactly how she had felt before she confessed the truth to Noah. However, her sister\'s situation was a lot more serious than hers.

This was one of the reasons why Aria had not informed Icy about Joshua\'s special condition. Otherwise, her sister would break down immediately.  Aria hugged Ivy, trying to console her. But she knew nothing she said or did would calm the girl down. Only Joshua could calm her, and it now laid on Aria\'s shoulders to treat the man. Kaito drove like a maniac on the empty roads, and in no time, they reached the hospital.

Without even waiting for Kaito\'s help, Aria flung open the door and dashed forward. She had to get the operation theater ready before the men got here. The receptionist was surprised to see a frantic Aria running at full speed towards them. She did even have time to ask her to relax when Aria started giving out orders. "Get the operation theater ready. We have an emergency. Who is doing the night duty today?"

The receptionist stared at Aria dumbfounded. This was the first time the woman was seeing Aria this flustered. However, she snapped back to her senses quickly. "Right away, Dr. Aria. We have Dr. Stuart Lee, Sr. Smith, Dr. May and..." 

As soon as Aria heard Stuart\'s name, her shoulders relaxed slightly. "Inform Dr. Stuart Lee about the situation. We have a patient who has been shot in the shoulder. Dr. Stuart will be assisting me. Get the nurses ready, arrange for the surgery. And, prepare four extra bottles of A positive blood."

"But.." Before the receptionist could remind her that Dr. Stuart was in the neurology department, Aria was gone. The receptionist could only do as she was told, for she had sensed the severity of the situation. If Aria had asked for Stuart, then she must be having faith in him. Moreover, it was Aria who would be leading the surgery. The nurse did as she was told, silently wondering who the patient was, for Aria had come down personally to arrange for the surgery.
