The expected pain didn’t come. I turned around quickly, only to see Dominic standing behind me, one hand clutching his
abdomen, his face ashen. Blood continued to well up from the wound.
Seeing him about to collapse, I caught him, immediately dialing 911 with my other hand.
Dominic’s consciousness was already fading, intense pain consuming his mind.
He struggled to open his eyes, seeing my anxious expression, and managed a weak smile. The pain from his ripped abdomen was
excruciating.
My focus was on stopping the bleeding; I pressed down on the wound.
Seeing his eyelids droop, I shouted, “Hold on, Dominic! Don’t sleep! The paramedics are coming. You have to hold on!”
Just before he lost consciousness, he heard the sirens.
The paramedics rushed him onto the stretcher, applying pressure to the wound while notifying the hospital to prepare for
emergency surgery.
Dominic looked at me, my face full of panic, before finally losing consciousness.
After three hours of surgery, Dominic’s vital signs stabilized. The doctor said the knife hadn’t hit any vital organs, but the deep
wound had caused significant blood loss.
I breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing onto a chair, my gaze fixed on the still–unconscious Dominic, my emotions a tangled mess.
I hadn’t expected him to take a knife for me. Had he been following me?
Yesterday, I’d made things very clear. Why would he…? I had so many questions, but Dominic was still unconscious, forcing me to
keep them bottled up.
