Stephen drunk his drink and then turned to face her. It scared Eva to notice his hard face
"Surprising news!!! No, Eva, it’s more like shocking news to me, and why the hell was I not informed about it? Would you not surmise that I must be the initial individual to become acquainted with this news?
Eva was terrified to listen to his bitter tone, still she rubbed her sweating palms and told him
“No.. It’s not like that you are taking it in the wrong way. I just want to give a surprise to our family
.” Surprise!! Really, all the time when I told you to visit the doctor, you know the reason, still acted to be fine.”
Eva’s eyes got wet with tears. She was not expecting this type of reaction
In the following moment, Stephen’s gaze fell upon a red light, appearing no larger than a dot as it traversed Eva’s skin. In the following moment, Stephen swiftly leapt onto Eva, causing both of them to contact the ground, while a bullet had already contacted them.
The next moment, a second bullet hit the wine bottle, shattering it into pieces.
Eva screamed at this unexpected assault. She started breathing heavily, but Stephen was still holding her close in his arms, covering her
Eva observed Stephen remained motionless, prompting her to separate herself from him. Shortly thereafter, she discovered it had stained her gown with blood.
“Stephen….“
Her loud scream echoed the place he held Stephen‘s head in her lap The security team effectively secured the terrace, causing the family to approach. They all became immobile as they gazed at the scene.
Chapter 75: Wrong target
Eva was sitting still like a rock; her tears never stopped. Samantha was present by her side, feeling worried about her condition. Rose was a crying mess too, and Richard was trying to console her.
William was pacing in the hospital's lobby, whereas Steve was screaming on the security head
“How did this happen? What was your security team doing? Are we paying you all for this?”
“Sorry sir.. But it was an open area, and we still took the measures. “
“Measures my foot; any leads about the ”
“Our team checked the nearby buildings. But we got nothing."
“Damn it! Then what are you waiting for here, reward! Get lost and do whatever is required, but I want the person who dared to harm my family .“
The next moment, the security officials left from the place
Robert reached to Steve and patted on his shoulder, trying to calm him down
"Steve... we will get them soon, but you have to be strong. This moment, losing your temper, will not help you or any of us
“I know, uncle, but... I am scared now. I don’t want to lose him. I never saw my brother like this. “ Steve asserted his fear. Robert smiled at the bond of brothers
“We will not lose him. He will be fine soon. The surgery is still going on.”
Samantha attempted to convince Eva to consume some juice, yet Eva declined.
"Eva, you must drink this." It’s not good for you.
“It’s all my fault. I made him angry. He was right. I must have shared about my pregnancy with him first; I messed it all."
Michael, who was sitting in his wheelchair nearby, reached near her
“Eva, dear, try to handle yourself. It’s not your fault."
