Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 115:

Joanna’s stomach hurt sharply, and her face turned as white as a sheet. She had a deep cut on her belly from which blood was flowing quickly, making her feel dizzy and unsteady.

The man pulled out the knife, and drops of bright red blood dripped from it. He had a crazy grin and yelled, “Die! Die with me!”

Right after those words, the man put the knife to his own throat and slashed deeply. Blood spurted from his neck, and the knife clattered to the ground. He dropped to his knees, his eyes filled with a longing for life and a desire to see his family again. “Dad, Mom, I’m on my way to join you,” he murmured.

He fell with blood pooling around him, and the people around started screaming.

Joanna slowly began to fall. A ringing in her ears drowned out all other sounds. In a daze, she thought she saw Norah rushing toward her, wrapping her in an embrace.

Norah looked serious as she yelled for medical assistance. “Bring the surgical trolley over! Now!”

Norah pressed down hard on Joanna’s wound, her hands quickly becoming covered in blood. Without a moment’s hesitation, she pushed Joanna onto the cart and hurried her into the surgery room.

“We need to start the operation immediately!”

The bright lights of the surgery room flickered overhead.
