443 Hope His Luck Shines

“We should leave him here,” Penelope suggested as soon as the man lost consciousness, “He’s unconscious and wouldn’t harm us anymore, let’s leave, please,” She begged her.

But Natalie knew otherwise, she couldn’t leave a dying man on his own, not even one who pressed a gun to her head moments ago. She knew it wasn’t just because of the responsibility that comes with the profession she was studying, it was her nature. The man might be dying and there were chances he might not even survive even if she took out the bullet, however, she held onto that hope. She would be able to sleep better at night knowing that she tried to save his life.

However, if Natalie had known in the future that giving this man a second chance at life would come to bite her in the ass, she would have let him die there. No, she would have finished him off right then and there.

Hence, without a second thought, she drove to a pharmaceutical store and sent Penelope to buy the equipment she needed. Natalie would have gone to purchase them on her own but Daniel’s blood was on her and she couldn’t step out without drawing suspicion.

Removing that bullet from the man’s body had been the most taxing experience Natalie had. First of all, she wasn’t a doctor, merely a student; secondly, the equipment was basic; thirdly, there was limited space in the car and she had to operate with merely a torchlight that Penelope pointed her way with a scrunched expression – her friend always hated blood.

At a point, Natalie came to believe she had no idea what she was doing and was frustrated. However, when she got the two bullets from his stomach and stitched him, a sigh of relief passed through her mouth.

“So, what do we do now?” Penelope asked her, fear evident in her eyes. It was so late and she bet her mother was already going bananas over the delay and must have summoned a search for them already. Unfortunately, they had an unconscious man with his blood staining their car.

.....

“What do you think? We’ve done our part of the deal, it’s all left to his luck now,” Natalie decided before the both of them pulled his heavy ass out of the car and laid him down by the roadside.

Thankfully, Edward had taken her shopping today, hence, she was able to cover him from the cold with a few of her clothes. On the bright side, the man had his phone with him even though the screen was broken, but it was still operational. Natalie called the first number in his history, Carmine by name, she bet it was his girlfriend.

Anyway, amid the woman’s interrogation as soon as she found the phone in her hands, Natalie only informed him of the stranger’s situation and a little bit of their location before ending the call and dumping the phone on his body.

“Let’s hope your luck shines enough,” Natalie muttered under her breath and returned to the car with Penelope. Both of them were shaken by the incident, but they survived – and would keep it a secret from everyone.

However, they couldn’t go home with their car in that state. Natalie changed out of her bloodied clothes while they drove the car to a car wash whom she bribed with enough money to keep his mouth shut about the blood he found inside the car.

Thanks to all those, they returned home quite late and their mother was waiting for them, alongside some officers who had been arguing about making an official search only after twenty-four hours of their disappearance. Nonetheless, after a remorseful apology, the officers were sent away and her mother decided it was time to chide the both of them mercilessly.

They were grounded for two weeks, but Natalie was more relieved that no one searched the car and found out about her bloodied clothes. If her mother even finds an inkling of what happened, she would send her out of this country, never to return and she couldn’t do that, not now she was so close to Edward.

Though she missed seeing Edward and going on dates with him, they communicated more frequently and things were quiet in their family for about two weeks until her father suddenly joined them.

It was quite a shocker to Natalie seeing her father was good at sending them away on trips and never bother to join them, but this one seems to be different. Then she heard something, her father needed to meet some people here that would help with his election.

Natalie didn’t know what meant until one Sunday, her papa came over to announce that he was expecting a victor and needed them to be on their best behavior. To be precise, that warning was targeted at her, Penelope and Dorcas, since their eldest sister did not travel with them. Nonetheless, even if Lyka was here, her parents were confident she wouldn’t cause any problem for them. Yep, the golden child.

The announcement had her Mama all excited and she joined the kitchen to present a sumptuous meal, probably to impress her guest while Natalie was bored out of her mind. All she wanted was to curl up on her bed and speak to Edward all night long instead of playing a good girl to a guest she had no idea about – nor does she care.

Her mother made sure they dressed in the best apparel and like a turkey for Thanksgiving, they all stood ready to receive the guest who arrived right on time – at least, she wouldn’t go hungry for long. Unlike her, Penelope was excited to meet the guest claiming to have heard that he was rich, smart, and handsome. As if. Those descriptions fit entitled jerks.

But the rich, entitled jerk walked through their front door and her jaw dropped to the floor. Natalie was so shocked by his appearance that she forgot the greeting parade their mother made them rehearse. Well, not only her, Penelope too. She could see the same worry in her gaze.

What was her papa doing with a criminal?
