Chapter 124 He's here to kill me
Scarlett's POV

My eyes fluttered open and I looked around the room where I was.

It was a hospital.

What the hell happened to me? My head was blank and I couldn't remember anything for a moment.

I closed my eyes again and opened it, trying to make sense of the reason why I was here.

My eyes slightly darted through the room and I could see a dress hanging on a hanger in the room.

Then everything came flashing back into my head.

Mr. Walter’s party. There was a fire and Christian and I struggled to get out of there.

I collapsed when we got out of the building.

Christian…. where was he?

I tried standing up but a force from inside my body dragged me back, making me land my head back on the bed with a groan.

“Scarlett?” I hadn't realized someone was beside me until I made that sound and he also hadn't realized that I was awake until now.

He leaned in closer to me and I saw the face clearly. It was Logan

Why was Logan here and Christian not here?

I should appreciate Logan for staying here with me but I was worried about Chrisfian above every other thing.

“Where's Christian?” I asked, my voice panicked.

Logan held my hand. “He stepped out for a minute”

“How are you feeling?” He asked.

I nodded my head. “I’m all fine now”

He also nodded back at me. I'll get the doctor to check you once again.

He made to move out of the room but I called him back by humming. I had no strength or maybe I was just too lazy to talk.

He turned back to me and raised his brow, asking me what I had called him for.

I pointed at the telephone which was on the other side of the room..

Then I talked. “You can get the doctor attending to me through that, you don't need to walk all the way out” I said.

Logan smiled and looked at where I pointed at. “Thank you, I didn't know”

He moved over to the telephone while I smiled as I watched him

He called the doctor and dropped the telephone. Then he stood beside the entrance, watching me and I also watched him back in silence.

A few minutes later, the doctor came and checked my pulse with some other things.

She asked if I was feeling fine and I told her I was.

She removed some pad she attached to my arm though I didn't know what it was used for.

“What about this?” I nudged at the IV fixed on my other arm.

She flashed me a smile. “You need to let everything drip into your body before we get that out, ma’am”

I nodded. “Thank you”

She bowed and turned, bowed at Logan and walked out of the room.

“I was really afraid you’d burn to death, Scarlett” Logan said and there was a frown on his face.

I looked at him and parted my lips in disbelief. “You didn't have to sound so blunt”

“Do you know how scared I was back there?” I snapped at him.

He leaned in closer and ruffled my hair. “I'm glad you are safe”

That action got me blinking my eyes and staring at a spot for a few seconds before he tapped me back to life with a small slap on my face.

“What the hell are you thinking?” He asked.

Right! What was I thinking?

He was still looking at me like he was waiting for a response when the door opened.

What had the doctor forgotten? The person at the door didn't come inside immediately, but the door opened first.

Logan and I fixed our eyes on the door and then finally, the person at the door entered.

I squinted my gaze seeing it was an entirely unfamiliar figure.

It was someone masculine and when I trailed him from his legs to his face, I saw he had a face cap on and a black nose mask.

Who could it be? And why is the person here?

I was still trying to figure this out in my head when Logan asked the question.

“Who are you?” Ligan’s face was darkened and frowny as he asked.

The person didn't respond but he just walked further into the room and when his hands which were at the back came to his front, I gasped.

He was wearing leather gloves and in his right hand was a knife which shines brightly in my eyes.

An assassin? Or was it called hitman?

Was he here to kill one of us? Who exactly? Logan or I?

I didn't know what exactly should go on in my head right now, but my breath was getting hardened and my hands started shaking slightly.

But the man’s target was way too obvious. He was staring at me and didn't even move his gaze to Logan for even a second.

I didn't expect to wake up from my unconsciousness only to get permanently killed.

Logan stood in front of me protectively and spread his arms.

“Who are you? What the fuck do you want?” Logan gritted.

He didn't respond to Logan but he only moved his feet, sprinting towards Logan.

He targeted Logan’s side and pushed him to the ground with force.

Like lightning, he was beside my bed, his knife getting raised in the air to stab me.

He did it, he tried stabbing me with the knife but I wasted no time in removing the IV from my arm and rolling off the bed to the floor on the other side..

I stood up quickly and arched into the wall, my breath heavy.

I watched the man’s knife which had been struck into the hospital's bed sheets and luckily not in my stomach.

He was here to kill me and he won't hesitate to do that, I just confirmed that.

Our eyes locked and I couldn't help but think….

His eyes are familiar. I know this man.
