To Hate My Stepbrother

The bodyguard arrived at Khalid’s school to meet a middle aged woman holding him, she waited for Mason to get out of the car and was disappointed when she didn’t see him.

“I’m here to take Khalid.” The bodyguard announced but the woman was a little bit skeptical about leaving Khalid to him.

Looking him up and down, “we really can’t release the boy to you until we’ve seen his father.” She answered, taking Khalid a few steps away from him.

“It’s just against our school ethics, I’m sorry.” She added as the bodyguard sighed as he pulled out Mason’s card for her.

“It’s okay, ma’am, I know him,” Khalid assured her but she still wasn’t comfortable, “you can take it up with Mason.” The bodyguard chimed in as he took Khalid from the confused looking woman.

Shrugging, she turned to leave in hopes that she would call his father when she got to the office while the stranger led Khalid to the car.

Leading Khalid to the car, Khalid was happy to see him since over the days he has been dropping him off they’ve both bonded.

“Can I please use your phone?” Khalid begged as the bodyguard tried to ignore him, “please, I’m bored here.” He added and after a while of silence he finally gave in.

He handed his phone over to Khalid who started playing his favorite game right away. Staring at the mirror, it was strange to the bodyguard that a car was following them.

“Use your seatbelt, Khalid.” He yelled and just as soon as Khalid used the belt, a car crashed into them from the back.

“Call 911 and call out our location, be quick.” The Bodyguard ordered and Khalid did as he was told. Just when he finished calling out their location he got yanked out of the car roughly.

The bodyguard ran out of the car in an attempt to follow them but was hit by a bat and fainted immediately.

Khalid struggled to leave the arm of the mysterious man holding him and he’d even gone as far as biting him so hard that he could taste his blood.

Just when they were about to put him in the trunk of an SUV, the sound of a passerby made them stop.

“I called 911 already and you’re on live stream.” He announced and frustrated, they dropped Khalid at once before driving away.

“Are you okay?” He asked and Khalid nodded positively as they both rushed to the side of the driver. Placing two fingers on the driver’s neck, the passerby couldn’t feel a pulse.

“We have to wait for the ambulance to get here.” He said as he held Khalid and shield him in case of any other danger.

Soon, sounds of sirens were heard and the paramedics rushed out of the ambulance to help the bodyguard who is still unconscious.

They also took Khalid in and they were on their way to the hospital when the bodyguard snapped out of his deep slumber.

He requested a phone and immediately called Mason to inform him of what had just happened as they left for the hospital.

Scampering out of the meeting room, Mason ran as fast as he could to his office to break the news to Ava. Hurriedly, they both left the company.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Ava was worried and she wouldn’t stop twisting her fingers on the entire ride to the hospital while Mason blamed himself for what happened.

“They called me! I should’ve gone to pick him up by myself, I’m so stupid.” He sniffled as they got to the hospital and he hurried out of the car.

Mason rushed into the hospital with the Chief of Police behind him, he had no idea what to do and he just doesn’t know how he’s going to take it if anything happened to his son.

“How is he? Is he alright?” He asked the doctor when they got there but everyone seemed to be busy until after a while.

“We took the blood we found on your son’s lip, he’s really strong for biting whoever it was like that and we’ll run some tests so we can get the DNA test result.” The doctor explained to them but that doesn’t seem like what they wanted to hear.

“Thank you so much, doc.” The COP shook the hand of the doctor as he left to get the statement of the passerby and also the video he claimed to have as he promised to have the man behind bars within 24 hours.

“How is he doing, doctor? Is he alright?” Ava cried and the doctor asked her to calm down since they haven’t really run a proper test on Khalid.

“He kept complaining of chest pain, has he been having this pain before?” He asked and Ava and Mason shook their heads negatively at the same time.

“We’ll check him out to know what’s wrong because that region is really sensitive.” The doctor finished before walking out on them.

Ava silently prayed that it wasn’t something serious, the day passed by as the doctors tried to find what’s wrong with Khalid’s chest.

“We need a CT scan for the child in ward 3, it might be something serious.” The doctor announced to his colleague and they sprung into action immediately.

“There!” One of the residents called out as they were carrying out the scan on Khalid’s chest, “it looks like a tumor and zoom in.” She ordered.

“Yes, it’s a tumor and not just that, there is a metal right beside his heart and it has the shape of a … . bullet?” she further explained as the rest of the surgeons began to see it.

“Was he shot?” She asked as they got out of the OR, “we don’t have much time, he has to be admitted immediately whoever perfumed his first surgery was a rookie and probably didn’t remove it, instead he cut one of the tissues.” She further explained to the doctor.

“How do you make a mistake like that?” She asked but stopped talking when they got to Ava and Mason.

“He needs to be admitted because he has to undergo surgery today.” The doctor told Mason and Ava as soon as they got to them.
