Bedmates Soulmates
CHAPTER 295

Every muscle in her body screamed.

Her knees threatened to give out any moment.

But she couldn't give up fighting.

"Do It! Sean's hands twitched

The sight of Austyn holding a gun to his own head thrilled Sean beyond words could describe.

He took an involuntary step forward, eager for the finale. 'Do it now!'

His body was now no longer shielded by the pillar.

Kira marshalled every muscle in her right leg

She raised her knee as high as it would go and stomped as hard as she could on Sean's feet.

The pointed high heel stabbed Sean's right foot like a dagger.

He shoved Kira instinctively.

Kira bent her knees, slipped out of his chokehold and ran towards Austyn.

'Shoot him!' she shouted to Austyn

Austyn's gun hand whipped up

'Boss!' Ronald scrambled down the stairs towards Sear

"Kiral' Austyn's eyes widened in shock. 'Get down!!

He fired the gun

Two loud bangs rang out almost simultaneously

Austyn's bullet hit Ronald in the shoulder.

Ronald crashed into Sean, the Impact knocking both to the ground

Ronald's bullet, meant for Kira, missed its target.

Kira spun around in time to see a man falling.

Time seemed to slow down around her.

She watched blood spray out from the wound in his chest, forming a red mist in the air.

She watched his knees buckle as if they could no longer support his weight

She watched his handsome face contort in pain

His eyes were on her as he collapsed. "Kira...

Blood gushed out of the wound, staining his white shirt bright red.

Kira thought she was moving, but she wasn't

She could no longer hear a sound.

It was as if she had suddenly gone deaf.

She smelled the sulphurous gunpowder.

She tasted the bitterness of her tears.

She felt the vicarious pain as if the bullet had penetrated her chest as well.

Pain immobilised her.

Fear suffocated her.

Her mouth was open in a si

silent scream.

When his body struck the concrete floor, the dull thump shocked her out of her trance. "Gideon! Gwen's heart-wrenching cry pierced the still night air.

Kira screamed.

She swayed on her feet, then she ran towards Gideon's prone figure on the floor.

'Gideon!' She cradled his head in her arms.

There was so much blood, forming a shallow pool around him.

Either You Die, Or She will

The scene of her father's car accident hurtled through her mind.

No, not again!

"Gideon!' Kira cried out.

His eyes were closed.

He looked so peaceful, so pale.

Kira tried to staunch the blood flow with her hand, but it was useless.

Her hands were wet and slippery from all the blood.

Kira's mind was blank.

What should she do?

Why was Gideon here?

Kira tightened her arms around his shoulders. 'Gideon, please, please don't die! I can't...I can't. Please don't die..."

Gideon's eyelids fluttered.

He heard Kira's voice.

Her hot tears fell on his face.

He wanted to wipe away her tears, to tell her he was fine, but he couldn't move, couldn't speak.

His mind was swallowed by darkness.

The door to the emergency room at Stanaford General banged open

A group of people rushed in.

The nurse at the front desk shot to her feet.

""What's going on?

A woman in a torn and bloodied red dress grabbed her arm. Please help him! He's been shot!!

"I need a gurney over here!" The doctor on duty was with them in an instant.

He helped transfer the patient from a police officer's back onto the

One look told him all he needed to know. "Get him to the OR, star!

Kira's face, neck and arms were covered in blood.

gurney

She watched Gideon bring loaded onto a gurney with a dazed look on her face.

A nurse shook her arm gently. "Miss? Miss! Can you hear me? Are you hurt?"

"Wh...what? Kira blinked

'Are you hurt? You're covered in blood."

'I'm...I'm fine. It's not...it's not my blood.'

"Okay. What can you tell me about the patient's condition?" "He's...he's been shot. Kira's eyes were wide open, unsering

"Where? How many times? Are the bullets still lodged inside him?"

"Lbebe's been shot. Kira repeated stupidly.

Seeing she wasn't going to get anything more out of her, the nurse shook her head. 'Why don't you take a seat? I'll go get the intake water for you.' Kira didn't hear the nurse.

Her eyes followed the gurney. 'Gideon."

She started chasing after the team of doctors and nurses, lurching in her heels,

She had to be there for him.

there'

"Miss! Miss!" A nurse blocked her way. 'You can't go into the operating room. Please wait h

Kira didn't want to wait.

What if something happened to him in there?

e forms and a cup of

The pungent smell of ammonia, the harsh white lights, the creaking of the gurney wheels, the red light over the door of the operating room....

It wasn't déjà vu.

This had happened before.

Kira's mind was hurled back to two years ago.

She had rushed to the hospital with her father covered in blood.

A nurse had asked her to stay out here and walt,

She waited

And she never saw her father open his eyes again.

Kira shrugged off the nurse's hand on her shoulder. "No, 1 have to see him!!

'Miss!' The nurse spread out both arms to block her way. 'You can't go in there!!

Kira shoved her aside.

It took two orderlies to physically restrain her

The nurse rebuked her angrily, 'The doctors can't do their job if you keep trying to barge in there! Just stay out here and stop making a scene! Or I'll be forced to have you removed from the premises!! Kira had both arms pinned behind her back

She struggled to free herself. 'No! I have to see him! I don't want him to die!!

"Let go of her!" Austyn barked at the two orderlies.

They released their hold on Kira

But she couldn't move a step.

Austyn clutched her wrist and pulled her back. That's enough!'

The fight went out of her

She sagged against Austyn's chest. 'I have to be there for him..."

The operating room's door was shut tightly.

Kira felt as if someone had stuffed a plant rock down her throat.

She couldn't draw in breath

Her heart weighed a tonne

What if Gideon never woke up again, just like her father?

The bullet hole in his chest had looked so impossibly big.

There was so much blood.

What if he didn't make it?

Kira was covered in Gideon's blood.

He took the bullet for her.

How could she live with herself if he died?

He's More Than Just & deather To Her

'Come here."

Austyn hall-carried, half-dragged her to the waiting area and pushed her down on a chair.
