#Book 2 Chapter 26
Yow! I’m back!!!
I smiled in awe as I looked at Kei and Nass holding each other.
I’m glad that Nass is safe.
” Brylle” I turned to Kayden, who went over to Erick and carried Brylle.
” I’m so sorry, baby…” He said to the sleeping child. I also find myself smiling at this.
I’m sure Kayden did all he could to find Brylle, but I still wished he told us sooner.
But what’s important is that we found Brylle.
” Bibi,” and so I turned to Katie. My bibi.
” Yes, bibi?” She walked over to me, smiling, and leaned her body back on my shoulder.
My heart was suddenly racing.
Damn this woman.
” I’m so happy for Nass and Kei” I looked back at those two.
” Yes, bibi. Me too”
” Nass…?” Kei’s voice made me confused.
He gently shook Nass’ body, but she didn’t open her eyes.
My smile faded.
” Nass!” Katie and I looked at each other before she walked over to Nass, and so does Theo.
They started checking on Nassandra’s situation.
” She lost consciousness,” Theo stated. I sighed.
She must be tired.
And hurt…
Kei ran his fingers through his hair in frustration and stood up.
” Let’s get her to a hospital,” Kei said.
He picked her up, wincing.
” Kei…” I called out to his name, for I saw pain is evident in his expression.
His gaze became distant.
” Theo…” Kei said, confused.
Theo furrowed his eyebrows.
” Get Nassandra…” Theo’s eyebrows deepened, but he followed Kei’s order, so he stepped in to carry Nassandra.
*thud*
” F—!” I cursed as I saw Kei crashed on the ground.
Katie immediately went to check on Kei, so I did the same to my friend.
Our other companions also got worried.
” He’s bleeding…” I mumbled.
Katie turned to me.
” He’s bleeding fast, he might d—” I gasped before Katie could even finish her statement.
” I’ve already asked my men to prepare a helicopter. It’ll bring them immediately to a hospital” we all turned our heads to Tito Andre.
He also walked over to me and held my shoulder.
” Go” I nodded at Tito Andre.
” Erick,” he nodded and helped me carry Kei up.
I also looked at Khalil, who’s also in front of us.
” My agency and I will take care of this place, so you don’t have to worry” I gave him an appreciative look.
His agency and our mafia have been helping each other for months now. I know I can trust him.
” Just take care of Nass” I turned to Theo, who’s also carrying Nass in his arms.
” Of course” Khalil smiled and stepped aside to give way to us.
” Devon and Maxence, stay here and help Khalil.” Tito Andre commanded
” Yes, sir.”
Last thing I remember hearing was when we were walking over to the helicopter.

Nassandra’s POV
I heard muffled voices of people talking at my side while someone was holding my hand. My whole body felt painful, and I couldn’t find the strength to move.
” You should eat, Kei. You had just woken up,” I heard Devon irritatedly said.
” You’re not even supposed to be here. You should be in your bed. Resting…” Theo added.
Whoever was holding my hand tightened his grip, which gave me the idea that its Keian.
” No. I will stay here. I won’t leave her side ’till she wakes up” ahh… his deep voice that I always adore.
I missed his voice so much even though we were together yesterday, I think.
“Stop being stubborn, Kei. Your gunshot wound isn’t healed yet.” Katie points out to him.
I remembered Keian was actually wounded… when he saved me.
I let out a shaky breath…
And carefully fluttered my eyes open.
Then looked around me.
I think we’re in the mansion’s infirmary.
My eyes observed everyone in the room at that moment.
Their backs turned to the bed I’m currently lying on.
Even Keian, who’s holding my hand, got his back turned to me.
” I’m fine. Nass is the one who’s not okay, so make sure she’s—” Keian stopped speaking as he felt my hand squeezing his.
His eyebrows furrowed and faced over me. The others were also curious at this, so they all turned in my direction.
Keian’s eyes widened, but he kept quiet.
Actually, everyone fell silent.
They were all just staring at me, so I stared back at them.

” Mamaaa!” We didn’t notice that the door opened, and in came the room was Brylle followed by Diego and Kuya Kayden.
Brylle ran towards the bed and intended to jump on top of me, but my companions immediately intervened and stopped Brylle to ensure he wouldn’t squish me down.
Keian held Brylle, and he made him stand properly on the floor. Brylle was puzzled for a moment till he started breaking into tears.
“A-Am I not yet allowed to… go to Mama?” Brylle asked.
I felt my heart ache to see Brylle crying, then I remembered the time I saw him trapped in that room.
I held my chest in pain, and Keian noticed that, so he turns to me.
Since I didn’t want to worry him, I widened my eyes at him and nodded at the sobbing Brylle.
His eyes immediately understood, so he knelt down in front of Brylle.
I saw him made a grimaced face.
” Brylle… It’s not like you’re not allowed to go to your Mama. She has injuries, so we have to be gentle around her,” Brylle pouted as he looked at Keian.
” Mama?” He questioned Keian.
He nodded at Brylle, nodding his head and turning back to me.
” You heard your Tito, Brylle…” said Kuya Kayden to the child.
” I-it’s okay, he can stay beside me” Keian’s expression darkened, probably because of my weak voice.
Kuya Kayden smiled at me before carrying Brylle up.
” Yehey!!!” I weakly smiled at Brylle when he was being placed beside me.
I ran my fingers through his hair.
” Are you okay, Mama?” I cupped his chubby cheeks.
” Yes, Brylle, don’t worry…” He pouted again and tightly hugged me.
I bit my lip as I snaked my arms around him.
” I’ve been waiting for you to wake up, Mama. You’ve been sleeping for a long time.” I patted his back repeatedly while staring at the ceiling.
” I’m sorry, Brylle. I made you wait…” I softly muttered.
I saw Keian heaving out a sigh and walks over to Brylle and me.
He held my hand.
“Brylle, what’s important is that Mama is awake.” Brylle slightly drew away from me to look at Keian.
” Yes, I’m so happy Mama is awake” I was just looking at Keian while he flashes a smile at Brylle and slightly messed his hair playfully.
The moment Brylle hugged me again, I couldn’t explain what I was feeling.
I was just happy to be with my son again. I smiled, but then I realized something…
My child is gone, Our child-Keian and mine.
Keian furrowed his eyebrows, who probably saw my smile faded.
He tried looking at my eyes, but I avoided eye contact with him.
I roamed my eyes around our other companions in here.
Theo, Katie, Devon, Dale, Kuya Kayden, and Diego are smiling while watching Brylle and me.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
They’re probably glad that I’m finally awake and got to be with Brylle again.
But why am I feeling the complete opposite?
” Nass,” Keian softly called my name.
I still can’t find the nerve to look at him till he held one side of my cheek.
I coughed and slightly turned my head sideways. I don’t know why I was exactly doing that, but I’m sure Keian thinks that I’m avoiding his touch.
Maybe he’s right.
His jaw tightened, and he raised a hand to make sure he holds my hand back again.
I slightly turned my back at him innocently while still holding Brylle.
Our other companions didn’t notice, but Keian surely did.
He clenched his fist, stared right through me with a cold expression as if he was controlling his emotions.
” I’ll come back” I have to admit I felt guilty for what I did, but my heart and mind are telling me that I have to distance myself from him for a little while.
Seriously, Nass…
The six men looked at him.
He left the room while slightly slamming the door.
Then I tried controlling my breathing.
” Uhmm, what’s wrong with boss???” I heard Dale’s question.
Rather, he should ask what’s wrong with me.
Diego narrowed his eyes at me, but I just held on to Brylle as tight as I wanted. Not caring about the pain my whole body is feeling.
