Chapter 710 - She was pregnant

Sky who was operated was out of danger. Arlo didn't leave her side. Others stood or sat in lobby as Ryan took care of the people behind the incident.

Jai and Loran who called to talk to her eventually spoke to Ryan and reached the hospital at midnight half-past twelve keeping all elders in dark.

As soon as Sky got conscious she mumbled Arlo's name and hugged him.

She knew well who was most affected by the incident. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to scare you." Her voice was hoarse and meek.

Arlo didn't talk and helped her to drink water before informing others.

Jai and Loran couldn't make themselves to scold her.

Sky apologized for making them worry. She panicked without seeing Sam, "Where is Sam? Did anybody shoot again? Where is he? Why isn't he here..."

Loran hugged her as he rubbed her back. Peter responded, "He is fine. I will call him now."

Sky hummed as she was laid back on the bed. She asked everyone to go and rest but failed. Ryan had to go back to the Harley mansion hearing Sky's continuous pester.

Sky let a sigh of relief seeing Sam entering without any hurt. Seeing Loran and Jai dozed off on the couch he didn't chide her loudly.

Arlo glared at Sam before going out.

Sam twisted her ear, "What do you think about yourself? When will your brain grow? What would I have done if it was shot somewhere else?..."

Sky couldn't use her both hands as one had IV and the other one was paining. "Samuel Cox! Once I'm fine, I'll chop you into pieces."

He left her ear pulled her to embrace.

She asked gingerly after realizing, "Why are you trembling? I'm really fine. This wound will be healed soon." 

Sam relaxed and laid her back. "Are you planning to get me killed by your husband?"

Sky pouted. "Arlo is very angry."

Sam controlled himself from knocking on her head, "Are you expecting us to Congratulate and celebrate for you?"

"I could only think of that in that split second. It isn't like I shielded you. I was selfish too."

Sam bopped her head, "If something happened to you, he would have killed me before killing himself for you. Never try those stunts, get it."

"Stop nagging me. I'm not going to leave you all to live peacefully."

Sam could only sigh seeing her brush off what he said. He removed cleared IV and exited after asking her to sleep.

Sam wanted to apologize to Arlo who indifferently spoke before him, "That group is shot dead by the military so you are safe. Leave."

Arlo didn't let him speak and entered the room to see Sky wide awake. He knew he couldn't change her habit of saving people and he couldn't see her getting hurt putting herself in danger either.

He carried her to another room and hugged her to sleep. Seeing her cry, he couldn't help but speak, "Why are you crying?"

Sky continued to cry as she responded, "Why aren't you talking to me?" She had tried to talk to him but he hadn't opened his mouth even once.

Arlo softened instantly. "Don't cry... See I'm talking. Stop crying."

She continued to weep as she spoke, "I didn't know what else to do at that time. I pushed him to at least avoid him getting shot on his chest. How can I see him getting shot in front of me without doing anything? So I did it. If you don't like me doing all that, then I'll not go out in public other than the office. Talk to me."

Arlo turned grim and glowered at her, "Are you shot on the head? Why the hell are being over-sensitive?"

Sky frowned and kicked him off the bed, "Get out! If you don't want to talk to me, don't enter my bed either."

Arlo stood speechless looking at her turn away and sleep pulling the blanket up. He tried to sleep next to her but he was pushed away by her left hand.

"You are angry I understand. How dare you shout at me?"

"Sky Harley! You almost gave me a heart attack. Are you expecting me to coddle you?"

"Shouldn't patients are looked after well?"

"Which idiot told you to play savior role?"

"Regret all you want but you have no choice other than bearing with me."

"Do I look like invincible to be unaffected?"

.

Both bantered for a long time before falling asleep in embrace scolding each other.

Sam returned to the Cox mansion instead of his villa. Daniel who got to know from the maid went to see him on the bed till eight in the morning.

Sam wasn't the type to sleep long in the morning even if he sleeps late. He went ahead rubbed his head, "Sam, what happened?"

He thought Sam must have had a fight with Sana hearing no response, "Small fights are common between the young couple. It's just a month..."

Sam cut in, "Sky saved me again."

Daniel knew Sam wouldn't use save for silly things. He pulled him up, "What are you talking about?"

Sam's unemotional voice sounded, "Do you remember that my last mission in the military? The group which wasn't annihilated completely?"

Daniel nodded and Sam continued, "After I left, the team members I was in were found dead because that group planned out and killed. One of the group members had seen me in a different country a long back. They were keeping an eye on me the whole time. We were outside the mall yesterday thinking about what new we could do. A sniper from a slow-moving car had pointed me right here..." he pointed his left chest above the heart.

"If a second late by Sky, I would have died on the spot."

Daniel knew Sam wasn't scared of death hence he shook his arms, "What happened to Sky? Sam... speak..."

Sam passed him the tab as he spoke, "She still had the brain to use it and didn't shield me. While pushing me aside, a bullet pierced her righthand firearm injuring her bone and nerve. She..." He choked on words before continuing, "She was pregnant and nobody knew yet, due to hemorrhage, she..."

Tears rolled down from Sam's eyes and he looked outside.
