Chapter 271 What Now?
271 What Now?
"What happened to her?" Elma kneeled down beside Vieva and looked at her mangled face with a worried expression on her face.
"One of the dragons did that to her." Jack looked at Vieva and his breaths were unstable. He was worried about her.
"What should we do now?" Elma turned back and looked at Jack. "If we don't get her to a good hospital quickly then she will not survive." Elma looked in Jack's eyes, there was a serious expression on her face.
Jack listened to her and nodded. "But, what hospital would admit her? Just look at her, if the police get involved then it won't be long before Dragons find her."
"It doesn't matter! She will die either way. We have to take the risk!" Elma urged. "There is no other way! We have to take her to the hospital."
Jack took in a few deep breaths and nodded. "Are there any hospital services in this golden card?"
Elma listened to him and her eyes widened in an enlightening way. She quickly moved back and took her phone. "Yes, there is!" She said and gulped her saliva. "There is even home service." She looked at Jack again.
"I should book one." A relieved expression appeared on her face.
"Wait!" Jack took the phone from her hands.
Elma saw the phone getting taken away and a frown appeared on her face. She was confused as to why Jack would take her phone away in a situation like this. Where she was trying to help him.
"What are you doing? We have to call the healing service quickly." Elma stepped towards him.
Jack took in a deep breath and calmed down. "Actually, many of the superhumans are involved with the Dragons. We have to call someone we can trust." Jack said and stayed still.
Elma listened to his words and a depressed expression appeared on her face. "Superhumans have colluded with Dragons?" she was disappointed. "Who should we call then? Wait! I have a few friends in Paris." She said and moved her hand to take her phone. "They would be able to help us." She said with a confident expression on her face.
Jack looked at her and after a second nodded. "Here take this." She said and gave her the phone back.
Elma took the phone and nodded. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her."
Jack stayed silent at her words and after she had gone to a corner to talk on the phone he clenched his fist. 'Not strong enough!' He took in a deep breath and took out his phone too.
He then called Nicole.
"Hey, Jack where are you?" She asked just as he picked up the phone.
"Paris," Jack replied with a simple one-word answer.
"Where exactly?"
"It doesn't matter, I want you to keep everyone safe bad people are coming to hurt the people I love." He said.
"Don't worry about them. No one can touch anyone till I am here. But what about you? Are you safe?" She asked with a concerned tone.
"Can you teleport us there?" Jack asked suddenly as a thought appeared in his mind.
"Teleportation huh? I can't, but I can reach Paris in ten minutes if you want any help."
"No, just stay there and take care of the girls. I will handle myself." Jack said quickly, he didn't want her to come here and leave his girls alone.
Nicole turned silent at his words and after some time took a deep breath. "OK, take care and call me if you need any help." She said.
"Don't worry, I will call you if anything goes wrong."
"I love you," Nicole said from the other side.
"Love you too," Jack said and hung up the call. He then looked at Vieva again, he could tell that she was healing slowly, and would only need some medical assistance to get ok.
There was nothing to worry about till dragons didn't find them.
'I can ask Hena for help, but there is no guarantee that the people she sends to help are not colluded with dragons.' He thought and looked at Elma, she was still on the phone.
After a few seconds, she came near him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "A doctor will be here in a few minutes." She murmured.
Jack looked at her and nodded. "Thanks." He was grateful.
"No need to say thanks." She sighed and looked at Vieva.
"What should we do now?" She asked.
"For now this is the safest place. We can stay here for a bit longer." Jack said and ordered some beer and food.
Soon enough the doctor came and he performed some basic first aid on Vieva's eyes and gave her some pain relief and sleeping pills.
After the doctor was gone, Jack and Elma drank some beer and ate food.
After that, Jack slept in bed with Vieva by his side and Elma decided to sleep on the couch.
The next day Jack woke up and looked beside him and a frown appeared on his face. 'Where is she?' He was worried, as he couldn't see Vieva beside him.
He quickly stood up and looked around the room and in the corner he could see Elma sleeping on the sofa.
"Jack, you woke up?" Suddenly a familiar voice came from beside him and he turned his head around to look at it.
Vieva was coming out of the bathroom, there were no bandages on her face and she was already healed. He could tell that she had just taken a bath. As her hair was still wet and she was wearing a towel around her body.
Jack moved towards her and looked at her eyes again, he was relieved. Yesterday he saw her injury and he was terrified by how brutal it was. One of her eyeballs was completely chared due to electricity.
He thought that it would be extremely hard to heal them back to normal. But to his surprise Vieva was healed in a single day, he wondered if they had taken the risk of calling a doctor for nothing.
She might have healed on her own if they left her protected.
'No, I could have never taken such a risk.' He thought and took in a deep breath. He loved Vieva and could never take such a risk, what if she couldn't have healed herself and got an infection in her eyes?
He would have never forgiven himself if something like that did happen. According to him, it was better to be safe than sorry. And although he could have used his notebook to know if she would heal on her own. However, this idea never struck his brain last night.
He was too worried for her.
Vieva looked at him and clicked her finger. A red gown then covered her body. "You killed him..." She looked into his eyes and hugged him tightly.
She was both shocked and pleasantly surprised. She never thought that Jack would be able to kill Idros and that too with him being supported with Raga's locket.
She knew how powerful Idros was and how he almost killed her with Raga's locket. If not for Jack then she would have died today.
Now he has saved her life twice. First in the other dimension, from Hena and now from Idros.
"Yes. I will kill anyone that tries to harm you." He said and landed a kiss on her lips.
He was extremely worried about her yesterday and thought that he might have lost her. However, now he was relieved that she was completely fine.
Vieva felt his kiss and tears formed in her eyes. She could tell that he was scared for her life and health. 'He cares about me...' More and more tears formed in her eyes.
This was the confirmation to her that he loved her too. She took in a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. "I love you." She said suddenly.
She was saying it with the deepest part of her heart. And there was gratitude visible on their face.
Jack nodded and kissed her again. "I love you too." He said and moved away from her embrace. "Let's go away from here." He said and looked at Elma.
He then moved towards her to wake her up.
"Where?" Vieva asked with her brows raised.
She was confused as to where Jack wanted to go. She has come here to know the plans of the dragons and wants to finish her job.
As this is concerned not only with her own life but with the lives of the entire human race and more importantly with Jack's life.
"We are going back to my mansion. Prepare to teleport us there." He said as he looked back at her with a serious expression on his face.
"What about the dragons?" Vieva asked with her brows raised.
Jack listened to her and took in some breaths. "There is a towel under the bed. Check it out." He said and shook Elma's shoulder to wake her up.
