"Okay, we'll let them go once we get the money." said one of the men. At that moment, not having anticipated Arvin's sudden attack, the man who held a dagger against Angela lay on the ground with his hands covering his eyes.
The other man was shocked to see his partner screaming on the ground. Arvin took this opportunity to throw another scalpel at him. Unfortunately, he turned around and successfully dodged it. Instead the scalpel caught the wall behind him.
The man's heart was in his mouth when the scalpel flew close to his ears. Full of anger, he pulled his dagger closer to Rosa, which immediately caused her white neck to bleed. "Damn it! How dare you attack us?"
Rosa was frightened by this. With the blood draining out of her face, she couldn't stop gasping.
Arvin whispered, "Oh no." Then, he said, "Rosa, they won't hurt you. Don't worry. Take a deep breath."
When Arvin was about to save Angela, the man on the ground suddenly stood up. With one hand covering his bleeding eye, he used the other one to stab Angela.
Once again, Arvin threw another scalpel at him. He painfully struggled on the ground.
The gangster standing beside Rosa sensed her abnormality. He felt so frightened that he almost dropped his dagger.
Rosa was dying and gasping for air as she fell to the ground.
The helicopter rumbled in the distance. Arvin gave Rosa some first aid treatments and at the same time comforted Angela, saying, "Angela, don't worry about it. Rosa is in a terrible condition, so I must give her the first aid now."
Arvin was so anxious that there were beads of sweat on his forehead now. Staring at him, Angela tried her best to calm herself down.
At that moment, the injured gangster climbed up from the ground. Arvin had no choice but to tell Angela, "Angela, his upper thigh was injured by my scalpel, try hitting him there as hard as you can."
After hearing what Arvin had said, Angela hastily kicked the bandit really hard.
The man screamed in agony but he managed to stab Angela on her left arm with the dagger. Her eyes tightened with pain.
Arvin who was trying his best to resuscitate Rosa failed to notice Angela's left arm.
When Angela opened her eyes again, Arvin was still looking after Rosa.
All of a sudden, she got upset at Arvin, for not paying attention to her.
With the rumbling noise drawing closer, Arvin picked Rosa up, glanced at the gangster on the ground and told Angela, "Angela, don't be afraid! I'll be back at once after handing Rosa to the rescuers."
Arvin felt sorry having to leave Angela alone there, in order to save Rosa.
If he could manage to save Rosa this time, he wouldn't owe her anything anymore. He could finally live a happy and peaceful life with Angela.
Angela felt a little disappointed at Arvin. She remembered what Nita had told her to wake up from her daydream, and Nita would show Angela who was more important to Arvin, Rosa or Angela herself.
Angela kept shaking her head and then she shouted, "Arvin, I got hurt and I am pregnant."
But Arvin couldn't hear what she was saying. Rosa was in danger, so he couldn't spare a minute to check up on Angela right now. As a doctor, it was his duty to save the patient first. Moreover, it was obvious to Arvin that the possibility of saving Rosa was quite high.
