Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 49

As Emma plummeted through the air, a man leaped from the helicopter, catching her in a strong embrace. A familiar voice whispered in her ear, “Emma, I want you to live!”

She tried to look up at him, but he held her tightly against his chest. She couldn’t see his face, but his presence was unmistakable. ‘Could it be Liam?‘ she wondered.

Suddenly, a “Bang!” rang out. A bullet whizzed past Emma’s ear, slicing through the air. The man holding her grunted, and the faint smell of blood filled the air. At that moment, she realized the horrifying truth–Liam had taken a bullet for her.

“You are…” Emma began.

“You can call me Dr. Duncan. I’m your attending physician,” he replied with a reassuring smile.

Memories of Elijah’s past betrayal made Emma cautious. “Which hospital is this? What happened at the concert? Who saved me yesterday?” Her questions were sharp, reflecting her inner turmoil.

Aaron Duncan chuckled. “You’re quite interesting. Most patients first ask about their own condition, but here you are, concerned about everything else. Were you a detective or something?”

Emma didn’t respond, her gaze steady, waiting for the answers.

“You’re in Troln Hospital, the best in the city,” Aaron explained, showing his ID with a smile. “The explosion didn’t happen, and your quick actions are being praised across the country. You’re quite the hero now!”

Emma felt uneasy. “And where’s the person who saved me in the helicopter?”

“I’m not sure about that,” Aaron admitted. “You were brought here by ambulance. Anything before that, you’d need to check with the police.”
