Chapter - 69 - Will be with you

The team completed their dinner and stepped out of the elevator. All walked toward the department room to continue with their thesis. Gianna suddenly remembered the promise she made to Alexander that she would visit him every day and stopped in her tracks. She informed the team that she was going to Alexander's room and would join them later. Gianna walked toward his room and knocked at the door as she reached the room.

Albert was startled by the sudden knock and started to panic. "Capo, someone is here! What should I do?" asked Albert, as he switched off the light. Rick heard a click sound and asked, "Did you just switch off the light?" "Yes, the person outside will think he is sleeping and will leave soon." "Is your head filled with clay? It would make the situation more suspicious, you fool! Escape soon!" shouted Rick through the earpiece.

Just like Rick guessed, Gianna was suspicious as the light went off right after she knocked. She felt something was off and, without hesitating, dashed into the room. Gianna saw a suspicious-looking figure standing in the middle of the room. The light from the hallway faintly lit the room. She quickly ran towards him and gave a flying kick in his face.

Albert fell hard on the ground a few inches away, and the earpiece rolled under the table as it fell from his ear. "Lock -" Rick was cut off by the piercing sound of the earpiece. The call connection was lost before he could instruct him to lock the door, and Rick didn't have other means to contact Albert. He could only wait patiently, till he heard from Albert. He slammed the table and threw the earpiece in anger.

Albert initially let his guard down when he saw a woman entering the room, but he didn't know she wasn't just a woman until he felt the power of her kick. Gianna came near Albert and gave him a few hard punches on the face. Albert recollected himself from the shock and pushed Gianna with all his might, making her stagger behind.

Albert slowly stood up and sized up Gianna before returning her attacks. Albert tried to punch on her vital points, but Gianna evaded most of the punches and quickly slid behind him. She pushed him to the ground and locked his neck tightly with her arms. Albert started to choke but didn't give up, and after trying hard for some time, he rolled away from her clutch after overthrowing Gianna from behind. Gianna hit her back hard on the floor but quickly stood up.

Albert saw a scalpel on the cart. He quickly reached for it and aimed at her. She chuckled and said, "Bring it on!" Albert was too amused by her attitude and lunged forward to attack her with the scalpel. She evaded his attacks smoothly and kicked his leg making him fall on one knee. She took his left hand before turning with it. A 'crack' sound was clearly heard in the silent room, and it was the sound of Albert's broken bone.

Albert wailed loudly and pushed her with his leg. Gianna fell to the side, and he quickly moved to stab Gianna with the scalpel, but he tripped and fell towards Alexander. Gianna saw Albert falling and guessed the scalpel in his hand would pierce through Alexander's chest. Gianna quickly jumped and shielded Alexander with her body, and as she expected, Albert stabbed Gianna's left arm with the scalpel. Gianna clenched her jaw out of pain and looked at Alexander to make sure he was not hurt. Alexander laid there in shock at her fighting skills and didn't notice Albert was falling toward him until blood was oozing out of Gianna.

Albert immediately removed the scalpel and ran out of the room, taking the camera when Gianna was looking at Alexander. Gianna stood up to run behind him, but Alexander held her hand and said in a low voice, "I'm scared." She quickly turned the lights on and asked, "Are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere?" She examined him and let out a sigh of relief when she saw he was not hurt.

By then, the staff came running to the room and saw Gianna bleeding. They all gasped and quickly contacted security. Alexander's eyes started to tear up, and Gianna consoled him. "Don't worry. Everything is fine, Alexander. Relax." "Blood," Alexander said in a low voice, pointing to her arm. Gianna looked at her arm and saw her arm was bleeding. She smiled and assured him that she was okay and walked into the washroom to wash the blood.

Securities and her team dashed through the door. They saw the room in a complete mess. Some nurses were checking on Alexander and cleaners were cleaning a lot of blood on the floor. They heard Gianna was in the room and their imagination went wild when they saw blood on the floor. The team started to panic but soon heard Giana's voice.

"I need a hand here!" shouted Gianna from the washroom. The security guards went quickly into the washroom and saw the bodyguards tied up. "They are unconscious. Please take them to the recovery ward," said Gianna as she placed her arm under running water. "Dr.G!!" Gianna was startled by the sudden cries and looked at the door.

"Are you alright?" "There is so much blood!" "Are you injured somewhere else?" "Are you okay, Dr.G?" came in queries, one by one. "Stop it guys! It's just a small cut. Check Alexander's condition. He might be in shock," shouted Gianna. Victor and Stanley stepped out to check on Alexander while Ralph and Alice helped Gianna to stop the bleeding.

She stepped out and asked Victor about Alexander's condition. "He is doing good, Dr.G," said Victor. Gianna smiled at Alexander and said, "Mr.Peter and others are fine. They were shot with tranquilizers. Let them have a good sleep tonight. I will be here with you." Gianna patted his hand and gave assurance to him.

"Gianna!!!" shouted Dr.Zane as he entered the room. Everyone looked at him in unison and pointed towards Gianna.
