Chapter 5 +25 BONUS Before I could shoot , Hannah's faint voice stopped me . " Vicky , is Aldo safe ? " She was still breathing . I lowered the gun and yelled at Patrick , " Call 911 , now ! " 20 minutes later , police and paramedics swarmed the scene . Medics worked frantically , stabilizing Hannah's organs and lifting her onto a stretcher . I gripped her hand , sobbing and praying for a miracle . Patrick hovered nearby with his head down , avoiding my gaze . He glanced at my bloodied hands and mumbled , " You need a nurse to stop the bleeding . I'm sorry , Vicky . I didn't mean to hurt you . Cole pushed me . " Sick with his voice , I slapped him . " Don't act like you care ! If Hannah doesn't make it , both you and Cole are done ! " Hannah was rushed into surgery . A nurse bandaged my hands . Patrick , knowing he'd screwed up , didn't dare to approach me again . Instead , he took out his phone and called , " Get to the hospital , Cole ! Hannah is hurt . They issued a critical notice . Vicky wasn't lying " Cole scoffed , " I only fired you from deputy manager , and now you're teaming up with those stupid women to trick me ? I trusted you , but you let me down . " Patrick fumbled , spineless as ever .
