C30 Chapter 30
Just when the kiss was getting hotter, she gently but immediately pushed him off.
'What?" He asked and she immediately got off him.
"We are supposed to be working not being romantic.." She said
"Oh! So you're admitting that I'm romantic" He said with a smirk and she found herself blushing.
"I didn't.. " She said and turned to leave in order for him to avoid seeing her red cheeks.
"Wait..." He called and grabbed her wrist and she slowly faced him.
"What?" She asked.
He stared at her deeply and then kissed her lightly.
"Hey! Say what you want to say!" She scolded him and he laughed.
"Be serious Dan!" Melanie scolded again and he laughed before he then sighed and raised his hands in surrender.
"It's about Rose.." He said as he face turned sour almost immediately and then he bit his lip sadly.
"What about her?" Melanie asked obviously panicking.
"Is she going to die?" She asked with fear obvious in her voice and Dan sighed. He was about to speak but she beat him to it.
"I know we are doctors and we should be confident of our selves but I've already gotten so attached to Rose. I don't ang her to die. I will really feel bad if she dies.." She said and sighed again.
"Hey Calm down and listen to me first before concluding on any thing.." Dan told her and She nodded awaiting his reply.
"The chances of her surviving is very low. It's very risky to attempt surgery but if we don't , she might die earlier so we just have to..." Dan explained.
"What do we now do? since it'sboth risky to try out surgery and the chemotherapyprocedure did not work as well. Is there no other way?"" Melanie asked and he nodded sadly.
"You know it Melanie, there is no other way for this mess. We are doctors, our duty is to help save lives of people and we can, since we have been doing it before, we can do this now. Melanie, we just have to be confident that she will survive this.." He explained and Melanie nodded
" Just don't tell her that or even to Ethan, he might go berserk..." He said and Melanie nodded.
Dan stood up and pulled her into a warm embrace caressing her hair.
"You said we should have faith and hope that she will survive. Let's have faith..." He whispered to her and she smiled and wrapped her hands around him, reciprocating his hug. He smiled also and k kissed her hair.
"He's really changed"* She thought.
Dan pulled away from the hug and kissed her forehead.
"I will go check up on Rose now..." She said with a smile and he nodded smiling.

"Are you damn sure that every thing is ready. Sneak in and do what I asked you to. After this is done, I will make my appearance..." The unknown muttered and hung up.
"Finally the time is near..." He said and smiled evily.

Night.
It was already 9pm in the night and Melanie was just done with her shift. She was already headed home.
She walked gently to the parking lot and that's was when she remembered something.
Yeah, she had somebody talking about Dan and his father and their wealth. Though she didn't understand any thing.
"Maybe, they were just talking but why am I so afraid to tell Dan about this." She said.
"I will tell him tommorroe.." She said shrugging.
Suddenly a hand grabbed her and she almost screamed but he was quick to cover her mouth.
He slowly and gently released her. Melanie turned and she gasped when she saw him.
"Kim Dan.." She muttered and he smiled at her.
"You scared me.." She said and hit hus chest while he chuckled.
"That's what I planned.." He said with a smirk and she hit him again.
"What are you doing here? I thought you left?" She asked.
"Hmmn, why would I leave you alone here? I was on my way when I I suddenly remembered that you were still in the hospital so I reversed and came to pick you up..." He said and she blinked.
"But I have my car..." She said.
"Silly, I want to pick you up myself.." He said and pecked her lips and she smiled.
"Perhaps, this is the right time to tell him of my feelings..." Melanie thought.
"Dan..." She called and held his hand but then his eyes went somewhere. He noticed a shadow behind Melanie and he immediately swapped positions with her. Suddenly a gunshot was heard.
Melanie's breath hitched immediately and she screamed when she saw blood splashed over Dan's face. Immediately guards from directions came running towards them.
He was shot. Dan was shot.
"Aaaaaaaaarrrgghh...." She yelled and Dan head fell on her chest for support. He was already started to cough out blood. She laid him carefully on her lips.
"Help us!" She yelled.
"Help Dan, help him.." She said holding his head where he had been shot.
"Mel,,, I don't think,,,I can,,,.." He said still coughing out blood.
"Shut up, you aren't leaving me you hear!" Shd yelled.
"Bring the darn stretcher here!" She yelled in tears but paused when she noticed he had gone limp in her arms.
"Nooooo!!!" She yelled in tears as the stretcher was immediately wheeled towards them.
