âLyndon, wake up!â
Finally, Lyndon started to stir.
His eyes fluttered open slowly, his brows furrowing when his gaze fell on Rosalynn.
âRosa, are you okay?â he asked weakly.
âIâm fine.
You should be worrying about yourself.
Youâre injured.
Hold on.
Iâll take you to the hospital.

As she took Lyndonâs pulse, she kept dialing to call for an ambulance.
Lyndonâs eyes stayed open for another brief moment before closing once more, his body sinking back into unconsciousness.
As Selina received a call from her father Beal, she was already aware that her scheme had unraveled.
She couldnât contain her frustration and immediately let loose a stream of curses.
The intended target, Rosalynn, remained unharmed.
Instead, it was Lyndon who had been caught in the fray.
âDad, who have you chosen? Why do they seem less than competent?â
Beal responded, âThe man assured me heâd seize the opportunity once it arose.
He hadnât anticipated someone interfering unexpectedly.
Lyndonâs reckless driving threw a wrench in our plans.
â
Selina, disturbed by the incompetence, pressed, âAll they offer are excuses.
Whatâs our next step? Lyndonâs hurt and the cops will be on our tail.
If they trace it back to your hire, will he turn on you?â
âRest easy.
Iâve taken steps to ensure his silence.
â
Intrigued, Selina inquired, âHow so?â
âHis days are numbered.
Heâs battling terminal gastric cancer.
Iâve promised a hefty sum post-mission, and a secure job for his soon-to- graduate daughter.
Heâs got reasons to stay quiet and take the fall.
He wonât cross me.
â
Comforted by this, Selina simply responded, âThatâs reassuring.
â
Ending the call, Selina gripped her phone, her gaze icy with resolve.
She pondered how Rosalynn always seemed to escape fate.
Lyndonâs timely intervention suggested he held her in special regard.
She was undeniably an alluring bitch.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rosalynn stood anxiously as Lyndon was wheeled into surgery.
She had done her best to assess his injuries along the way.
A bump on the head seemed minor, but with his history of head trauma, a concussion was a real concern, though his life wasnât in danger.
