Chapter 520: Who's going to live?
"Boss!" a man yelled from afar and several men rushed towards Alex.
"We have to leave now boss.We really have to.The police are coming here."
Alex stared at Avery for a moment and aimed to shoot again.But this time, Avery was really fully all over him.
There was no way Alex would be able to kill Grey.But that was exactly what he wanted.He didn't expect Avery to even come in.
And he wasn't even sure who he shot.
"Boss, your father wants us to bring you over," one of the men said urgently as they started to drag him away.
Alex shook his head briefly and instead, aimed the gun at Grey's leg.He pulled the trigger and a groan erupted before he was eventually pulled away.
Actually, the men didn't have the time to cross-check who was with Avery.
Maybe they would have allowed Alex to kill one of their boss’ nemesis before they pull him away.
For a few minutes, after Alex had left, Grey couldn't move.
For once in his life, he felt like an idiot.He walked into Alex's trap without a backup plan.
How could he do that? Wasn't that stupid of him? Soon enough, he heard the car pull away.
Grey released the breath that he didn't know he was holding and looked down at Avery.
"Avery?" he called softly.
Though, the pain in his leg was becoming unbearable.
It felt like his leg have been dislocated completely from the source.
But Avery didn't respond and it kind of made Grey feel alarmed.He looked down at her and realised that her eyes were shut. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Grey managed to push Avery up so he could get up at least.
The position that Avery had placed him in, made it very difficult for him to even see Avery clearly or what Alex had done to his leg.novelebook.com He expected Avery to hold herself back but instead, she slumped over behind him.
Grey eyes widened with surprise as he looked at Avery.
Truly, Avery wouldn't be pretending about something like that.So, it made his heart skip a beat.
"Avery!" He yelled, anxiously.
No response again.
Grey tried to turn and a pain stabbed him.He groaned and looked down at his leg.
Blood was rushing out of the leg and it looked like he might pass out if care wasn't taken but Grey was more worried about Avery.
Suddenly, he hesitated as his eyes traveled right to his chest.
His eyes went wide and dark as he stared at his stained shirt.It wasn't only stained, it felt like someone poured a cup of blood on him.He looked over to the seat where he had pushed Avery to.
It was already dripping blood.
Grey heart nearly stopped as he struggled closer to Avery.
And he saw it.
A hole in her head.
"Fuck! No!"
Grey couldn't breathe very well, as he ignored his pain and pulled Avery to himself.
The blood oozing from her brain seemed to have multiplied as they stained the seat the more.
"Avery! Fucking wake up! Don't you fucking do this to me!"
He yelled with frustration and shuddered her briefly like a fool.He was totally confused and very sad.
"Fuck!"
He cursed before he fished out his phone from his pocket and placed a call to the ambulance.
After supplying the necessary information, Grey looked at Avery again.His body shook briefly as if he was cold.He held Avery's body to himself as if scared she might leave him.It was his fault again.
Someone was going to die because of his carelessness.He should have known, especially the night that he saw Alex.He should have investigated properly.
If he had, he would have discovered that Avery was in danger.
If that was the situation that Avery was in, he wouldn't have let her leave without being protected.
Pain of wall fell into him, a wall of it as he thought about it.
"Avery, I'm so sorry.I'm so sorry for speaking to you like that, "he said softly, just as the ambulance pulled right beside the car.Avery was pulled inside the ambulance and Grey was helped inside as well because he couldn't walk properly.The moment they were inside, several first aid were administered to Avery but Grey just knew that she wasn't going to make it.
"Fuck! Attend to her!" Grey yelled as one of the health workers wanted to check his wound.
"Calm down, he would be attended to.But I need to check your leg."
"You think I care!" He screamed.
"Check her! Drive faster! Avery must not die!" he yelled in frustration.
The health worker gave up and moved closer to Avery.
The machine didn't beep and even Avery wouldn't open her eyes.
Grey didn't know what to do.He cupped his face in his hand and closed his eyes.
The tears dropped slowly and he couldn't even stop it.
Fuck, he didn't even know what he was supposed to feel sad for.He just felt very miserable.
Aphrodite wasn't waking up and Avery was going to die? The pain of losing someone close to him, like he lost his parents ate him deep.
For a few minutes, it felt like the only pain he had was the one he was having in his heart.
The pain from his leg was completely overpowered by the one he was feeling in his heart.
And it was all Giovanni's fault.
Everything started with him.His parents’ death, Jimmy's death, and then this.
Everyone he loved has always been taken away from him.
"She's back!" A voice reached his ears suddenly when nothing else could.
Grey was forced out of his thoughts.He looked at Avery and realized the machine was beeping.
"She's back!" The voice repeated with a released sigh.
Grey continued to look at Avery.
She might have managed to be alive but danger awaited her.
Who knew where the bullet had penetrated? And the risk that stood? There was nothing that would stop him that night, he was going to kill Giovanni and end the war once and for all.
Even if it means his death, he wouldn't mind.
But Giovanni wouldn't spend another day alive.He was ready to end everything with his death.
Grey unconsciously stroked his gun
