Chapter 174
“Okay” Kevin let out a sigh of relief.8
Once we arrived at the hospital, Bryant was immediately taken into the emergency room on a gurney.
The hospital lights were glaringly bright, and it was only then that I realized how pale Bryant had become from losing too much blood. He had been trying to keep his spirits up in the car to keep me from worrying.
A wave of fear gripped me tightly as the ER doors swung shut. Breathing became a struggle. I leaned against the wall, unable to pinpoint how I was feeling. All I knew was that when the doors finally opened, the doctor came out to announce they had successfully removed the bullet and that Bryant would be fine with proper rest, and I let out a massive sigh of relief.}]
While walking into his room, I felt his piercing gaze fixed on me as if trying to see right through me.
I pursed my lips and poured him a glass of water. “Kevin returned to get your stuff and clothes. I’ll leave once he gets here.”
He gave a half–smile, “Leave?”
“Yeah.” I nodded, “Today… thank you.”
I doubt I could have left that place unharmed if it hadn’t been for Bryant. I didn’t know where Allen got the courage from. But he somehow got tangled up with the mob.

I had no reply, looking down. “For me.”
“So, you’re just going to leave me here alone?” He sounded almost pitiful.}
I took a deep breath. “Bryant, I appreciate what you did, but…”
