" Ven!Ven!"Grace shouted when she saw that he fell down due to the bullet that hit his shoulder.
The assassin after confirming that the bullet hit the man who fought with their leader and not the lady,aimed at Grace again and just as he wanted to pull the trigger, someone shot him and he died immediately.
The other assassins seeing this,fled the scene with their boss leaving injured Ven and Grace alone at the scene.
" Ven are you okay?" Was what Ven heard last before he collapsed due to the blood he lost from the bullet that hit him.
....
He woke up at the hospital and saw Alex at his side with Olivia. He could see that their face was that of a sad face especially that of Olivia which was red from crying.They were surprised to see him awake.
" Ven,can you hear me?" Alex asked smiling.
" Yes I can hear you, don't be a worrywart"He said to Alex weakly.
" See the person who refused to wake up for the past three days" he said to me.
" Seriously? I've been in the hospital for the past three days?" Ven asked surprisingly.
" Yes now,immediately you collapsed, you were rushed to this hospital and I was called since you wrote my name as your guardian in your employee document"he said to me.
" Olivia, what later happened at that place,did something terrible later happened?", Ven asked as I do not wish to think that they later killed Grace.
" Nothing bad happened apart from the fact that you were badly injured. We were able to track you people thanks to the tracker in your pocket and since we were waiting for the backup and the police,we arrived late".
" After Mr.Steff and others arrived,we started the search for both of you and later the police joined us. Mr.Steff saw the person who shot you point his gun at the chairman's daughter and shot him immediately", She said to him.
" So he was the person that shot him? I didn't know so what later happened?" He asked her as he was curious about what happened when he collapsed.
" The other men ran away with their leader that you dealth with when they saw one of them in his pool of blood. Miss Grace instructed us to rush you to the hospital as nothing must happen to you which we did while the other men escorted her home.
" Okay thanks for the information, were you people able to identify the assassins?" Ven asked again.
" Is that what you're suppose to be asking right now when you're suppose to rest well as if when you resume back to work, you won't know", Alex said worriedly. He had always been like this and it increased when my father died.
"Alex I'm fine already, have you forgotten that I am a strong man?"I asked him jokingly.
" Strong man indeed"he said smirking at me.
Olivia could not help but laughed at both of us as we were behaving like Tom and Jerry. I knew that Alex was only worried about me but what can I do? It can't be helped with the kind of job I signed up for.
Ven knew that it was through life saving missions like this, that he will earn the trust of Mr.Drip and assign missions that has to do with the Brown family to him.
In the afternoon, before Ven was discharged, the arrogant Miss.Grace Brown came to visit him at the hospital to appreciate him for risking his life to save her own.
" Can you excuse us?" Grace asked Alex and Olivia.
"Sure" they said and left the ward.
" Is that the woman he saved"Alex asked Olivia as they left the ward to give them space to talk.
" Yes, she's the one. She is arrogant and proud. almost slapped Ven when we went to pick her at the airport because we came late", Olivia added as she answered Ven.
" Seriously, I could feel it that she is really arrogant."
....
On the other hand,in the ward where Ven is, Grace sat down on the chair beside him with Ven surprised with this action of Grace.
" Don't be surprised, I'm really not that arrogant and I appreciate people a lot. I visited just to appreciate you for what you did in saving my life.
" It is nothing ma, it's part of my work to protect your family with my life, that is how we were taught" he said to her.
" I heard you've been given the remaining days for this week to rest at home and resume on Monday"Grace said to him.
" I have not been informed of that"he said.
" I confirmed it from Mr.Drip so take that as a form of compensation"she said and stood up to leave.
" Thank you ma and have a nice day", he said. She smiled at him and left the ward as it seems she had somewhere she was going.
...
In the evening, Ven was discharged after the doctor confirmed he was fit to go. Till that time, Olivia stayed in the hospital and they when he was discharged,they opted to take her home.
" Olivia, I so much appreciate you for staying with me at the hospital", he said to Olivia smiling after they arrived at her apartment to drop her.
" It's nothing as I was here on behalf of the whole special unit,they all came visiting yesterday but couldn't find time today that was why I was sent here. I should be the one to appreciate you people for dropping me. Goodbye and make sure you rest well" she said and went into her apartment.
We got home around 8 o'clock in the night and as I made an attempt to go to my room,Alex called me back that we have something to talk about.
" Are you really okay with this job of yours or you would like me to talk to someone to transfer you to another department in that same company?", He asked me with seriousness in his speech.
" Don't worry about that, I will try to be more careful. I'm getting closer to that family and starting my investigation soon. I won't want to jeopardize this for anything in the world" he said to him.
" Okay then promise me you will be careful next time", Alex said still with full seriousness.
" I promise", Ven said smiling and then hugged Alex.
He knows for sure that the promise was just an empty promise because he came to Kandon with the mindset that he will find out the truth behind his father's death even if he has to give up his life. He can only pray that he does not lose his life.
