Chapter 169 - Successful transfer

The exact pain that someone would feel from being stabbed in the heart and stomach.

It is the exact pain Mick would have died from, if the little princess had not interfered.

It was something that came as a shock to Clara. She groaned in pain and subconsciously broke her hand free from the little princess's to touch it.

This action would have resulted badly and just as her grandma said, it would have given the chosen guy her own life force and Clara would have died from the pain. 

The little princess reacted fast and got a hold of her hands, holding onto it tightly and not letting go. 

She was small but her hold was sharp and strong, because she used all the strength she could channel. 

Her action made Clara to suddenly regain herself. She held the urge to cry out loud and endure the pain.

Beads of perspiration had formed all over her forehead. 

After a while of continuing with the ritual, it began to subsidies. The pain started to leave her body completely and transferred into the chosen guy's body.

Mick's deep sigh was heard after and since the chosen guy was heavily sedated before the transfer, they would have to wait until it weared off before Mick could wake up.

The tension in the room began to disappear till it became serene again. 

The little princess opened her eyes and retracted her hand from Clara's own. She quickly got up on her feet and reached towards the bed to check Mick's condition and discovered that he is completely fine.

She let out a deep sigh that felt too serious for a girl of her age. She put on a smiling expression, before looking up to meet Clara's pale face. 

The pain was too much and Clara doubted if Mick would have survived, if the little princess had not been easing it. She had never felt something like that in her entire life. 

Even though it was gone, her mind still lingered on the feeling, making her inside shudder in fright. 

"Ah!" The chosen guy that had been laying on the floor suddenly screamed as his body finally became one with Mick's life force.

Leo, Tim, Leo's boy and the doctor, including the nurse crew who are waiting on Tim's order heard the noise, and all rushed in.

Immediately she heard footsteps, Clara forgot her pain and quickly got up on her feet.

Yes!

Leo's here! Perhaps she could see him smile now. 

"It's done." She said to Leo, as soon as he came into view. The man who looked like he had matured overnight, and to her disappointment, he still refused to make eye contact with her.

The doctors had no idea what was going on but seeing a suffering patient on the floor, they thought that he was the reason why they were needed and signal to the nurses to help him out on a stretcher. 

The dude kept wailing in pain and they started giving him immediate attention while taking him away. 

Leo's crew did not pay attention to it, as they all had their full attention on Mick who seemed to have changed from his former sickly appearance, and looked a bit better.

"You guys sit down, we have to wait now." Clara said looking at Leo within the corner of her eyes and feeling her heart tightened that he still remained the same. 

Why isn't he smiling?

The man was saved now. Clara felt bothered. 

****

After checking the chosen boy's condition, the doctor discovered it's the same with Mick's condition, but this time the guy's body can survive the surgery. 

The thought of making up to Leo for not being able to help Mick, made them feel ecstatic.

Perhaps they could redeem themselves through this boy. 

With that thought in mind, they quickly arrange for the surgery. 

They must save him. 

****

About four to five hours later, a knock was heard on Mick's ward. A doctor came in with a smiling expression. 

He was the same man who operated on Mick. 

"I'm happy to inform you that the surgery was a success." The doctor informed, making all of them turn their head and look at him with a confused expression. 

"What surgery?" Tim asked.

"The young man we carried out about five hours ago. He survived, so we just transferred him to a ward not too far from this.

He is still on sedation so you can't talk to him for now, but you can go see him." The doctor happily explained, and excused himself, leaving the surprise crew behind. 

There was a long silence after, but Tim noticed that Leo seemed pissed at the announcement. His brow creased and it looked like he couldn't wait to stand up from where he sat.

He didn't miss how Clara was stealing glances of him every now and then as well. 

He slowly got up and winked at Clara who looked up at him. She nodded her head, understanding that he wanted to go out and do something. 

As soon as he stepped, Leo also stood up from where he sat and Clara did the same. "Where are you going?" She asked. 

She looked up at his eyes with her worried own, only to see him shook his and still looking everywhere but her eyes. 

He walked out after and Clara gave Belle a tight smile, before returning to her seat, while biting on her finger, wondering what suddenly changed. 

Was he pissed that she didn't give him any hope when there's one. 

I didn't know. She thought to herself. 

Tim, who was now standing in the front of the chosen guy's ward, opened the door and stepped in. He looked at his peaceful sleeping face and frown.

Getting closer to his bed he put his hand forward and grabbed his neck, wanting to kill him.

Before he could do anything, he heard a gunshot and just like that the guy died immediately.
