The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

[ 26 Hours Left Before The Exchange ]

Dr. Gomez was still bothered by his last conversation with Elle. He was leaning his back on his office chair with his eyes closed. He was still thinking of those last words she told him.

He didn't know what to do. He had unsettled feelings. He felt like he was torn between his loyalty to the Dark Lord and his friendship with Erick.

He truly cared about Erick. He didn't want him to be hurt. He still couldn't believe or rather he didn't want to believe that the Dark Lord would try to kill Erick.

He wanted to help Erick and Elle but he couldn't betray the Dark Lord. He was indebted to him. He was like a father to him. Dr. Gomez was an orphan and the Dark Lord was the one who helped him reach his dream and become a doctor.

He was aware of the Dark Lord's illegal activities but he decided to turn a blind eye to them. For him, the Dark Lord was not evil. He was his savior, the one who helped him in the most difficult time of his life. How could he betray him for the sake of his friendship?

But… would his conscience silence him? He knew he would never get peace of mind if anything bad happens to Erick most especially to Elle aka Aliyah.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #.-gomez's-indecision_51421616294385087 for visiting.

He buried his face using both hands, still undecided of what he should do. He was facing a dilemma right now. He was still confused about what decision he should make. Would he turn a blind eye again to this situation?

Dr. Gomez didn't notice but a drop of tears already fell down his cheeks. 'Why is this happening? Why Erick? Why Aliyah? Why is it they have to be enemy with that person?'

After much thought and careful consideration, Dr. Gomez decided to leave the hospital to meet someone. He was already walking toward the entrance door of the hospital when his hospital pager beeped and vibrated.

This only meant that he was needed by his patient. Upon checking his pager, he got to know that the signal came from the ICU where Allen was. Dr. Gomez immediately rushed to the ICU to see what happened.

When he arrived at the ICU, Allen's parents were already waiting for him. The nurses were also there.

"What happened?" Dr. Gomez asked them.

"Doc, come here quickly. Check the patient. He finally opened his eyes," the nurse immediately called him out.

Dr. Gomez didn't waste any more time as he checked Allen's vitals, examining him thoroughly.

~ At Erick's Place ~

Erick informed Raymond and Sarah about what happened to Elle. His parents started to worry about Elle's safety and their grandchild's safety. But they believed in Erick. He would be able to save Elle and their baby.

All they could do right now was wait and pray for their safety and success of this rescue mission. Erick couldn't sleep that night. It's already 3:00 o'clock in the morning but he was still wide awake, just thinking about Elle.

He was preparing his weapons, making sure that he won't miss anything. Then his eyes found Elle's dagger. He planned on bringing Elle's weapon as well. Through this, Erick would feel that Elle was with him in this fight. 

Erick felt like his heart was going to burst at this moment. He wanted to save her as soon as possible. He wondered what Elle was doing right now. 

Just like Erick, Elle didn't have a good sleep that night. She was also thinking of a better plan for how she would be able to protect herself, her baby, and Erick. She was praying that Doctor Gomez would change his mind.

She put a gamble on him. She didn't know what path Dr. Gomez would choose in the end. But she was still hoping that Dr. Gomez would choose to save and protect Erick.

Elle looked down, rubbing her stomach. She decided to talk to her Little Lee.

"Baby, Daddy is coming to save us. Soon, Mommy will get justice for your grandparents. Baby, you will witness how Mommy and Daddy will bring down this evil organization. Your uncles, godfathers, and Grandpa Phantom will help Mommy and Daddy." Elle's lips into a warm smile thinking about the people who would come to their rescue.

"Watch us carefully, Baby. If you want to be a police or detective when you grow up, Mommy will not stop you. Be a good person just like your Daddy. I will support you. Aside from Mommy and Daddy, many Uncles and godfathers will protect my Baby."

Elle was getting her courage and strength from Little Lee. She would do everything for her baby. She was hell-ent to protect her family this time. She won't allow them to take her happiness again.

"Alfonso… Dark Lord, just you wait. The judgment time is about to come. I can feel it. Your retribution is near."

Erick was still cleaning his gun when he received a message coming from Doctor Gomez, telling him that Allen woke up.

Erick immediately left the house and went to the hospital. Allen's parents were there, watching over him. He could see the relief on their faces. Allen passed the critical stage now and had a higher possibility to recover.

Erick talked to Allen's parents as well as to the nurse assigned to him. Dr. Gomez was also there when he warned them.

"Auntie, Uncle, and everyone here, I have a request. Can you please keep this a secret? I think someone might try to harm Allen once he learns that Allen already regained his consciousness."

"Ok, Chief Lee. We understand. We will keep this as a secret for now." Allen's father responded to him.

"Don't worry, I will ask my most trusted men to safeguard Allen. They will guard him 24/7. Only the assigned nurse is allowed to bring his medicine." Erick was thinking about Bryan and June. He would ask them to guard Allen and watch over him.

The nurses also nodded in agreement. After talking to them, Dr. Gomez had a little chit chat with Erick before Dr. Gomez left the hospital.

Dr. Gomez settled everything for Allen before he left the hospital to see Elle one last time.
