Chapter - 39 - Hitman

He pulled out his gun in position and saw a beautiful pair of dark hazel eyes staring at him. "If you want to live, get out of my apartment now." warned Gianna in an icy voice. The tall man was stunned by what she said and also noticed how she didn't even bat her eyes standing at the gunpoint. He chuckled and said, "I am inside your apartment so that I can live. I advise you not to make any sound and bring me the first aid kit. Otherwise, I am not responsible for your life."

Gianna threw the pillow on his face as a distraction so that she could stand up from the couch. She saw a tall man pointing a gun towards her with pain in his attractive dark amber eyes. She was now sure that he was wounded but didn't bother to tend to his wounds without knowing his identity.

She smiled at his reply and said, "Go ahead and shoot me but I am sure you will be on the floor in a few seconds." The tall man was confused and looked at her still holding the gun. He wanted to question her but an unknown darkness swallowed him and he fell on the floor with a loud thud! Gianna smirked and said, "Few seconds it is!"

Gianna noticed the tall man's breathing was irregular and she felt his pulse getting weaker. She took the gun away from his hand and placed it on the side table. She quickly closed the balcony door and pulled the curtains together. She decided to tend to the unknown man because as a doctor she can't overlook a person who was on the verge of death. She switched on the lights and took out the first aid box from the lower cabinet in the living room.

Gianna quickly examined the tall man and saw there were two stab wounds on the left and right side of his waist respectively and also a gunshot wound on the side of his right thigh. She immersed the blood drenched jacket into a water filled bucket and kept aside. She quickly cut his t-shirt into two halves and the cuts were seen clearly. She decided to clean the stab wounds first as it was bleeding a lot from the cuts.

Gianna applied a gentle pressure on the wounds with a clean cloth and cleaned with water to remove the debris. Gianna noticed the stab wounds were not deep and were not threatening. She cleaned the area surrounding the wound with alcohol and the excess water on the wound was dabbed slowly using a cloth. She applied an antibiotic cream and covered the wounds with the bandage with much difficulty.

Gianna cut his right side pants to examine the gunshot wound, exposing his strong attractive thigh but Gianna was not interested in admiring it rather was determined to remove the bullet. She cleaned the wound with alcohol and water.

The bullet on the thigh could harm the soft tissues and the blood vessels which in turn will affect his motor functions so she decided to take out the bullet. Gianna took out the surgical equipment from another bag and started to remove the bullet after sanitizing the instrument.

Gianna slowly inserted the instrument and pulled out the bullet after much effort. She heaved a sigh and observed that there was not much bleeding from the wound. She quickly cleaned it, stapled and bandaged the wound. She laid back on the floor and let out a low groan of exhaustion. Gianna stretched her body as she stood up and looked at the tall man lying unconscious on the floor.

She took her time and cleaned the mess on the floor thoroughly as there were stains of blood too. 'Did I take a relaxing bath for this shit? Such a waste of time. Why is my life always so chaotic? I should have chosen to be a hitman instead of a doctor so that I could have killed this man without batting an eye instead of saving him.' mumbled Gianna as she cleaned the house and prepared the bed for the man.

Gianna stood behind the tall man and lifted his upper body placing her hands under his arms. She slowly dragged him all the way to the bedroom because it was not an easy task to lift a six feet tall man with such a good build. The next task was more challenging as she had to lift and lay him on the bed.

"I should have focused more on training. Pulling this man is going to drain all my energy. Arrrgghhh!! Why did this guy choose my house out of all the houses in this city?" Gianna kept talking to herself till she reached the bedroom.

Gianna sat on the bed while the tall man was in a sitting position on the floor. Gianna placed both her hands between his arms and lifted him slowly to the bed after taking a deep breath. She used her full energy to pull him up the bed and finally she managed to place his half body on the bed.

Gianna let out the breath she was holding and dropped back on the bed breathing heavily. The man's bare upper body was resting on her lower part of the body. Gianna immediately pushed him a little to the side without exerting much force and got out of the bed when she realized the position they were lying on the bed was not appropriate.

Gianna felt embarrassed so she shook her head to bring her back to her senses and continued to move him to the bed. After much effort she laid him properly and adjusted the thermostat to a higher temperature so that he won't go into a shock. She covered his body with a thick blanket and left the room quietly.
