The third person POV

Thanks for clicking on my book. I hope you enjoy reading this chapter and hit that star if you did!!!!!

The fragile sick child rested his head on the tiny pillow; He was hardly breathing. The broken man hit his fist into the wall spilling blood oozing from his vein, releasing his pain and frustration.

Kelvin was the reason for his son's condition, if only he hadn't stole the money from his boss. Desperation can make any man do bitter and cheap things just for survival. His sister depended on him to fund her college tuition, He was at a crossroad, am didn't know what was in store at each road. One had his sister's future, the other holds the destruction of him.

Aiden was missing out on his lessons and he had to bare with a bullet lodged in his chest. His father had to live with the guilt and torns of his past. Maybe if he wasn't involved in such nostrious doings his family would be safe.

He didn't trust the oxygen he inhaled in his lungs;  he would constantly remind himself that even your shadow leaves you in the dark. His bitterness, coldness and research for vengeance and revenge, trigger him to go to any heights. The street created the monster they wanted him to like he was some programmed chicken. The only family he had left was his mother and sister and his dearest Aiden.

Her generosity had now became the center of attention and target by the dark eye.

With Kelvin's lifestyle and Eve appearance around him made her life now a threat. Even through she isn't aware of what's in attend for her.
The moment the black eye caught eyes with her as she left for the hospital. She is now in trouble.

His grandma tends to be type that can't withstand a hurricane so she just runs from it. He needed proper parental guide but his dad was there and loved him dearly. However  was that  enough for a child to grow?

Eve's POV

I made a promise to Miss Maria that she wouldn't disclose the truth about everything that had happened. If I spoke up he wouldn't be locked up and there wouldn't be any one to be the breadwinner for his family. What ever was going I knew was wrong and intolerant but hey I can't let him go to prison. Somehow I would be in trouble if this truth was exposed.

The sad reality is that Mr. Johansen isn't fit any way; whether emotional and financially to caker for a child's wants and needs. He can't even look after himself. Kelvin was here all day, and he was tired; I volunteered to stay the night here with Aiden keeping his company.

                •••

Aiden hasn't made any changes, his pulse were barely visible, he wasn't responding like expected to the previous treatments. He was then bought into a emergency immediate surgery.

The Next Day

Cold yet warm strong arms gently push my shoulders gently waking me up. I rubbed my eyes and stretching my tired arms from the chair in the waiting room. I quickly went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and get back to where he was standing.

" Good morning Eve, thanks for staying the night, I will take over from here."

" Good morning, sir and oh thanks for the coffee, see you later.". I informed him about his location and what happened last night.

           •••

I reported that Aiden is sick and in the hospital because of his Asthma relapse to the principal and his classmates. Yes I had to lie to keep my word with the Johansens. 

Classes has just ended. I was on way home ,when my phone rang and it was a private number ;but the person just ended the call before speaking.

Later than day, I received a message with a danger sign and a fire emoji from a private number.

Strange huh?
