Chapter 67 - Doctor OMG

Meanwhile, Emanuel had parked the car in a slightly crowded place. Although people couldn't be seen, shops and homes were visible to them. Getting out of the car, he informed Persephone not to leave the car with Villain until he returned. 

What rotten luck!

They got a car to use for sure...but they weren't able to use the GPS! 

He was going to look for a clinic or hospital. If they waited any further, he was worried that they would lose Villain. 

Villain had saved him from his father and his goons. So, he would do everything in his power to look for a doctor to save Villain. 

A few minutes later, Emanuel came running. Knocking on the car window, he shouted, "Come out. I saw a small clinic a few meters from here. It's closed but the doctor is still there."

Persephone and Emanuel helped Villain to reach the clinic. When they arrived, they found an old man who dressed in greasy clothes and had an unkempt white beard and long white hair was waiting for them outside a shabby little room. 

'Was this the clinic Emanuel was talking about?' Persephone thought in her mind. 

"Little boy, is this patient you were talking about?" The shabby doctor named Doctor OMG said. He eyed the big man they were carrying. 

"Miss Persephone, This is doctor OMG. He can treat him," Emanuel quickly said. He was worried that Persephone would reject the treatment seeing the dirty doctor with the weird ass name. Even he would not have taken Santiago to him in normal condition. But they say 'beggars can't be choosers. It's either this weird doctor who helps them or they lose Santiago. 

As if reading the thoughts running in Emanuel's head, Persephone turned to look at the doctor and asked, "Can you treat him? He was shot at two places, lost a lot of blood and it seems he is diabetic." 

"Of course," the doctor rolled his eyes. Was there even something that he couldn't cure? He was a genius doctor. So what if his medical license was taken away? A doctor was still a doctor with or without the license to practice. 

Emanuel and Doctor OMG spread Santiago inside on the small bed which didn't look like a stretcher from anyplace. 

As the doctor began to clean Santiago's wound, he froze when he felt a cold metal touching the back of his head. Slowly, he turned and was more than just shell-shocked when he found the young woman who was dressed in a man's black shirt and black stockings pointing a revolver at his head. 

"W-what are you doing, Signora?" The doctor stammered, his body was unusually trembling. Dammit! Who wouldn't tremble when they are pointed at the end of the gun? 

"Dear Doctor OMG, if he dies…"Persephone beamed at him. She didn't complete the sentence as the doctor knew what she was meaning to say. 

" I-i will try my best. You can't hurt me… I am.trying to save your husband, "Doctor said while on the verge of tears. He had to be her husband. That's why the woman was going crazy to the extent of killing the doctor who was saving him. 

"Best?" Persephone sneered. "I want him alive. But if you fail to treat him, you will die with him as well." 

The doctor was stammering as he wanted to say something but was stopped by her, "Stop talking and do your job." 

The doctor nodded and with a trembling body, he began treating the patient. 

He was crazy to suggest the young boy take the patient to him. He sure was a doctor but he hadn't treated anyone for years. His assistant treats everyone on his instructions but today he has to take matters into his own hand. He had to do his best--no-- he had to save the man or else this crazy woman would kill him. 

What a devil! 

Persephone tossed the 'empty' revolver at Emanuel and ordered, "Kill him if he fails to save him." 

Understanding what she was doing, Emanuel nodded. 

A few hours later. 

"The shot was not fatal but since he has lost too much blood, he needed treatment on time," the doctor said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "He will survive." 

When Persephone heard the doctor's words, the first thing she did was check the man's wound. Clearly, he was stitched by this weird doctor. He was still unconscious but he wasn't as pale as before. His lips were not as blue as before too. Perhaps, the doctor was not lying. Yet, they couldn't take any chances. 

Persephone and Emanuel stayed inside that small room all night along with Doctor and Villain. They didn't even let him leave the room except for a few times when he had to use the bathroom attached to his mini clinic. 

However, he didn't do anything to run as he was too scared to think straight. 

Plus, his phone was captured by those two and he couldn't even call the police. 

Persephone and Emanuel could have called the police to ask for help but when they recalled Santiago's words that someone in the police department was helping the kidnappers, they stopped. They were not stupid either. To have her kidnapped from the royal palace, it wasn't an easy job. And if the police were mixed with the kidnappers, she wouldn't be so surprised as she had seen things worse than this in New York. Her father had the police officials on his payroll. 

It was until the next afternoon that there was movement in Villain's motionless body. Persephone moved like the wind when she heard the doctor saying that he could wake up anytime soon. 

"You're finally awake," She whispered with teary eyes when Villain's eyes opened, they looked confused and in a trance. It seemed like he was trying to read the surroundings. 

So sharp even when he was in a coma! 

Santiago observed his surroundings and when his gaze fell upon the old man dressed in dirty clothes and Emanuel pointing his gun at the latter, he was momentarily taken aback. "Where are we?" Before she could reply, he asked again, "Who is this?"

His voice was so soft and hoarse that the tears brimming on her eye borders trickled down like rain droplets. 

Now Santiago was left stunned seeing her bawling like a kid. 

Glancing at Emanuel to help him out of this situation, he received a light shrug saying to handle her yourself. 

Santiago patted her head in an attempt to console her but it was rather making her cry. "Hey! Why are you crying? Did this man bully you?"

The man in question (Doctor OMG) was taken aback. It wasn't him who was bullying her but she was bullying him since yesterday. He wanted to say all of this but stopped when he felt the strong and evil aura surrounding the man with default blue eyes. 

"He didn't bully me," Persephone sniffled. "You didn't even ask me how I was?" More sobs and hiccups. "But rather about him?" She accused the poor doctor. "Do you even care about me?" Now accusing the poor and confused villain. 

Santiago: "…"

[Since they were at the doctor's, should he get her brain tested too?]

Helplessly, Santiago asked, "What are you saying?"

Persephone wiped her tears and snot with the sleeve of his shirt and looked at him with big glassy green eyes, "Even I don't know. Why am I behaving so weirdly?" 

"It's because you are jealous, Miss Persephone," Emanuel said from behind. Even he, a kid, can see the chemistry and sexual tension between these two idiots but they couldn't. 

Glancing at Emanuel, Santiago growled, "Why would she be jealous?"

Doctor OMG and Emanuel glanced at each other before sighing. 

On the other hand, Persephone was left bewildered when she realized that indeed was jealous. But the question was why? 

She was hurt that instead of giving attention to her, he asked about the doctor. Even though what he did was right. 

Could it be that she was mesmerized by his evil yet ridiculously gorgeous face? 

Or she started liking him? 

No, it couldn't be. 

She hated him. 

He is a criminal just like her papa. 

When Santiago stared into her drifting eyes, he patted her head and said, "You guys threatened the doctor? " With an empty revolver. 

Of course, he didn't add the last part. 

Persephone gave him an embarrassed smile. 

He shook his head at her. Literally she was crazy and...daring. 

"You didn't have to do that, you know?" Santiago softly said to her. He gave her an opportunity to run. 

Understanding what he was talking about, she replied,"I couldn't bear to see you die." 

Closing her eyes, she realized how big of a hypocrite she was. They had killed more than thirty people yet she couldn't bear to see Villain die. 

She should have killed him herself, shouldn't she?

Yet, why was she feeling as if her world had ended when she found him shot? 

Just what was happening to her?
