His vision was clouded by tears. Noah despised his inability to come in time. If he were just there a second before and he could've caught the killer. Out of his seething rage, he instantly killed the woman without a second thought. She was supposed to be caught and questioned her motives. It was unbearably painful for Noah. He took the blame all to himself. If Raeliana was happened to die, he will surely unable to forgive himself.
The royal guards scurried their way through the crowds and let the servants easily carried the tainted in red Raeliana. She was followed by Noah, along with few knights behind Noah. Until the king's safety was completely secured, there will be no visits and events that will be held in palace. The king ushered his servants to let him through and be with Raeliana, but Noah commanded the king's attendants to block his way if he insist. He couldn't accept the thought of losing a friend because of him. The king wants to thank Raeliana for her good deed, but all he could do is to wait.
Raeliana was rushed to the operation room. She lost a great amount of blood. Her clothes were completely soaked in blood, dyeing her brown hair in red. Noah was asked to stay put outside as he was pleading them to let him in. Although he came from the royal family, the doctors had their rules when it comes to treating a patient. Noah surrendered, and slumped his back against the wall. The place felt dreary, illuminated by the sad moonlight. It was his first time to be wrecked upon seeing a bloodied body even though he had already seen them when he was young. His quivering hands were covered in Raeliana's blood. Staring at his palm, a tear fell down.
"Please don't leave me. Please.." he pleaded internally.
Meanwhile, Raeliana's clothes were changed by the doctors. They tore the clothes to stop the blood. The main doctor had checked her pulse, and discovered that her breathing was weak. He ordered the other doctors to bring the materials and find a blood donor.
"Lady, hold on. We can still save you."
The door that was shut close was opened again. Noah got to his feet and his eyes followed the doctor. He wanted to know her current state, but the doctor seemed worked so he went back and leaned against the wall. After quite of time, the doctor returned with a young woman. Noah once again, has followed them until the doctor closes the door. He clenched his fist, and was getting impatient. His eyes longed for Raeliana, even a glance will do.
