My eyes widened in fear.

"Oh my God. She's bleeding" I cried out of confusion and fear.

Ornaldo dropped the broken glass and now staggered back, now fully aware of what had happened.

He stabbed Gwen. It almost hit Ethan.

"Quick,let's get her to the hospital" Ethan said.

I hurried over to where Gwen was lying. I opened the door for them to carry her out. I hurriedly followed them. They placed her in Ornaldo's car. Since I brought my car here, I'd drive myself and follow them to the hospital. Ethan sped off, after Ornaldo's car. I followed suit.

*****

Medicare Specialist Hospital,
2 pm.

Ethan paced up and down the long corridor of the waiting area at the hospital with a worried expression. Ornaldo kept hitting the wall with his knuckles while I just sat quietly, silently praying that Gwen survived.

After a while, Ethan came to sit beside me. I just stared at him, lost for words. I didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry. I caused this whole-"

I started to say before being cut off by Ethan.

"Shhh. Don't say anything"

He said and pulled me into a tight hug while he rubbed his hand over my back to soothe me.

" Elsie will be here soon. I called Bennett up to inform him so they'll be here soon"

He offered me a genuine smile and held on to my hand.

"Thanks for saving me. He almost r-raped m-me" I stuttered.

"That bastard"

He muttered and rolled his fists. He eyes darted towards Ornaldo and I felt he wanted to confront Ornaldo and start another fights. Both of them had sustained minor injuries from the earlier fight.

"Please don't. It's enough"

I pleaded as I grabbed his arm and stopped him from getting up.

"I feel so sorry for Gwen" I said.

Ethan looked at me, sadness evident in his eyes.

" It was so stupid of me to use Gwen to make you jealous. Well, it turns out she was desperate too" Ethan said.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I overheard her speaking to Ornaldo on the phone and then, I also saw her spiking my drink with something. I don't know what she was up to"
He responded.

I just sighed and then turned my attention to Ornaldo. He was a living mess. He looked like a tornado just blew over him. His hair was messy and the bloody, injured spots made him look worse.

"Emily!" Elsie called out and engulfed me in a hug from behind.

"I'm glad you're okay Emily"
Bennett said, offering me a smile and hugging me.

As soon as the doctor exited the emergency ward, Ethan and Ornaldo rushed to him, inquiring about Gwen's health.

"She's in a stable condition now. She has asked that you come in and see her. Looks like she has something to say"
The doctor said.

Ethan turned around and faced me.

"Gwen wants to see the three of us"
