2024-10-29 19:42:56Hearing the continuous moans coming from the woman's mouth immediately caught Franklin's attention.
The man looked puzzled about what to do, seeing the fresh blood flowing so heavily made his mind chaotic.
He was confused and scared, never having faced so much blood before.
"Miss Clara? Miss Clara, are you okay? What's happening, Miss Clara? Why is all this happening to you?"
Franklin asked, now embracing the woman. Clara's body looked weak, almost unable to support itself.
Her eyes were teary, dripping repeatedly, making her cheeks wet with those clear drops.
"Shh.. it hurts.. please help me. My hand really hurts so much."
Clara pleaded for help from the man in front of her. Regardless of the man's feelings, whether scared or anything else, Clara just wanted assistance.
Clara's only hope at that moment was Franklin alone.
"But I don't mean I don't want to help Miss Clara or anything. If I take Miss Clara downstairs and lots of people see us, they might think I've committed a crime with Miss Clara."
Franklin was on the verge of dilemma. He was confused whether to sacrifice himself to save Clara or to stick to his stance of not thinking about the woman?
Everything felt mixed up in his head. Franklin was worried, anxious, and didn't know what to do now.
"I don't know who else to ask for help anymore, Sir. Only you can help me right now. There's no one else I can turn to for help except you."
Unfortunately, all the doors of the neighboring apartment rooms were tightly closed as if there was no one there.
Franklin sighed heavily, cursing his luck that always seemed to be unlucky.
Still dealing with his mother's hospital issue and heartbroken over his lover choosing another man, now Franklin finds himself trapped helping a woman whose hand is full of lacerations.
With so much blood dripping on the floor, Franklin couldn't possibly leave the woman alone.
Especially when Franklin lifted his head while scanning around, a surveillance camera was seen recording him and the woman named Clara.
If Franklin were to leave her and the woman ran out of blood and died, Franklin would surely be a witness or even a suspect in her murder.
Franklin yelled in frustration, cursing his incredibly unlucky fate.
"I don't have any other choice. I think you can also see the surveillance camera over there. Everything will be recorded on CCTV and you could get into big trouble."
Franklin felt like swearing at the woman, how couldn't he? Instead of realizing she was the source of trouble in Franklin's life, the woman was threatening Franklin with her every word.
"Fine! Enough! I'll help her now. But, wait a moment. Miss, sit down here first."
Franklin helped the woman sit on the floor. He then took off his hoodie, and without hesitation, removed his T-shirt.
The woman closed her eyes, while Franklin was now bare-chested. It didn't matter, it was okay if he was recorded by the CCTV viewed by a few people.
Outside, if he let the wound continue to drip, Franklin could be suspected even further.
After removing his T-shirt, Franklin put his hoodie back on. Then, he focused on the woman in front of him.
Tying his black T-shirt which luckily matched, "Hold on, Miss. This might hurt. But, I have to tie it tightly so the blood doesn't drip as much."
Already like an expert in giving first aid, Franklin gave instructions to the woman.
After seeing Clara nodding in agreement, Franklin prepared himself before finally tightening the binding on the woman's hand.
"Argh!"
Franklin looked worried as Clara screamed quite loudly.
Even her tears flowed from the pain of the binding on her hand.
"Sorry, Miss Clara. I didn't mean that. I just wanted to help you, Miss Clara."
"Yeah. I know. It just really hurt earlier. I couldn't control myself from screaming."
Franklin nodded, then helped the woman to rise and stand upright.
"I'll take you to the clinic nearby, Miss . Just hold on for a moment, Miss . I just checked on G****e, there's a clinic around here."
Clara, who seemed to have endured unbearable pain, could only nod weakly.
Seeing the woman in this condition made Franklin feel increasingly guilty. As a human being, it was only right for Franklin to help the woman.
With unsteady steps, Franklin tried to lead the woman to the parking lot where his motorcycle was parked.
"Just take it slow, Miss . Don't rush, I'm afraid you might fall."
Clara seemed to only nod again without saying a word.
Seeing the woman so weak managed to capture Franklin's attention.
He felt sorry for her, before eventually offering to carry her.
"Sorry, Miss, if I'm being presumptuous. But, let me help you. Can I carry you, Miss?"
Clara was momentarily taken aback but then nodded.
Once they reached the parking lot, Franklin was confused about where to put the package, then Clara reassured him that it was okay for her to sit in the passenger seat.
Her hands then wrapped around the man's waist, not wanting to fall.
Strange! Franklin couldn't help feeling odd about it.
"Are you ready, Miss? Please hold on a little longer, Miss . I don't know how to help you if you faint in the middle of the road."
Clara nodded. "Yes. I'll keep my eyes open."
They then departed, using G****e Maps on Franklin's phone to find the nearby clinic.
After quite some time, Franklin finally found it.
Just as Franklin dismounted from the motorcycle, Clara's body slumped weakly.
"Miss!" Franklin panicked as the woman lost consciousness.
Hastily, Franklin carried her, quickly grabbing the keys before taking her towards the clinic's entrance.
"Help, doc! Please help my friend. She has a laceration on her hand, and now she's passed out."
The doctor, nicknamed Sarah, appeared panicked about the woman's condition.
"Bring her inside. Let me examine her right away."
Franklin nodded, placing the woman's body directly onto the stretcher.
Doctor Sarah began checking the woman's condition.
"Has she lost blood for a long time?" Doctor Sarah asked.
The man nodded in agreement.
"Her condition looks critical. She has lost a lot of blood. It's better to take her to the hospital. Let me prepare a referral letter."
Doctor Sarah seemed powerless to assist further. After receiving the referral letter, Franklin reluctantly had to leave his motorcycle there to accompany Clara, who was now being taken in an ambulance.
"What was I thinking? I should have just let her go with the nurse here. Why did I have to accompany her?" Franklin muttered to himself, feeling he might have overreacted. But regardless of it all, Franklin only intended to help the woman.
"It hurts..." Clara groaned, still with her eyes closed.

Franklin waited outside, specifically on the long bench usually designated for waiting.About 15 minutes passed, and Clara was already inside the room being attended to by the doctors and nurses there.It wasn't surprising that after this, Clara would likely be admitted. Because she had lost a lot of blood before.Whatever happened, one thing was certain, Clara was definitely not in good condition.Srett! The sound of the door being dragged opened, showing the doctors and nurses coming out of the room."Are you the patient's relative?" the doctor asked Franklin, who was standing there responding to him."I'm her friend, doctor."Doctor Roby nodded slowly."At the moment, the patient's condition is starting to improve. Fortunately, the patient was brought here promptly, otherwise, she would have lost more blood."Franklin nodded. "And what about the patient, doctor?

“Franklin?" Franklin muttered to himself, immediately reminded of a certain woman. Who else could it be but the owner of the package that made Franklin hesitant to deliver it?However, Franklin shook his head, trying to push that thought away. It seemed impossible for her to have his phone number.Soon, another notification popped up, but this time it wasn't from an unknown number. It was from his boss.Mr. Tio [The client whose package you're going to deliver, named Clara, asked for the courier's number. So, if you receive a call from an unknown number, it's likely Clara, Franklin.]Damn it!Now, there was no more doubt.

Franklin shook his head. Not a single word uttered by Clara could sway his decision. Just as Franklin stood firm in his choice, so did Clara.Not once did she give up on her situation."I know you must also need more money. Are you sure the money you earn as a courier is enough to meet all your needs?" Clara asked, staring intently at him.Faced with such a question, Franklin would certainly say no. After all, what courier could feel satisfied with their meager earnings?"I'm sure you never feel content and satisfied with your job. Roaming around in the heat of the sun, only to be paid a meager salary," Bella chimed in, joining in to influence Franklin's thoughts. Of course, both women were deliberately invited by Clara to help sway Franklin's mind."Think about it again. If you decide to work with Clara, I'm confident you'll never experience injustice. Clara will definitely pay you a fair salary for your hard work," Aura added her persuasion. Franklin realized it was all just their m

"Your job is really easy, Franklin." Clara smiled thinly. "You don't need to exert much effort in this job. Your safety is also guaranteed."Franklin became more confused, he saw Clara with her arms folded. The smile on her face made the man doubt for a moment that he had agreed to work with Clara. However, remembering that he had to pay off the hospital debt, Franklin nodded in agreement."How about it?" Clara asked again.Franklin shook his head, not refusing but rather confused. "How can I work if I don't know what to do?"Clara walked over to a room that was always kept tightly locked. Shortly after, she returned carrying an item that Franklin knew was a bundle of tea."Take this." Clara handed the item to Franklin.Hesitantly, the man took it. For a moment, nothing seemed strange about the bundle of green tea. Yet, this was where Franklin's life took a disastrous turn."Do you want me to deliver this tea?"Franklin thought Clara had a business in that field. Although, when he tho

Franklin parked Clara's car nicely. Although it had been a long time since he had driven a four-wheeled vehicle, Franklin was still able to control the car well.He immediately ran to the administration room and paid off his mother's medical expenses. The room at the very end with basic facilities indicated that Franklin was a lower-class person who couldn't afford much."Mom, after this you'll be taken care of properly." Franklin went to the administration desk and faced the hospital staff who had always handled his payments."Good afternoon, Mr. Franklin." The staff was always friendly to Franklin. Perhaps because the man, who was the son of the old woman in the corner room, was very kind and always kept his promises."Good afternoon." Franklin replied with a smile. "I've come to pay off my mother's treatment. And her medications too." The female staff nodded, "You've received the payment invoice, haven't you?"Franklin nodded, taking out cash from a brown envelope. He slowly took

Early in the morning, Vina was already ready with her school supplies. Franklin was also getting ready, putting on his uniform as a package delivery man. As usual, he would go straight to delivering packages to customers."Did you prepare food for Mom?" Franklin asked as he put on his helmet.Vina, his younger sister who had been eating more lavish meals than usual for the past few days, nodded with a smile."Yes, Brother."As Vina got on her vehicle and Franklin rode off on his motorcycle, the man said, "How about when I get off work, we go shopping for household essentials?""Has Brother received his salary this month?"Franklin immediately agreed. Although it wasn't from his main job and he got the money from a side job, Franklin didn't tell the truth."It seems your job is going well. Yesterday, Mom said Brother paid for moving her to a different nursing room," Vina remarked. "Isn't that quite expensive?"Franklin immediately replied, "Nothing is too expensive when it comes to Mom

"The route is making it harder for me to breathe," Franklin muttered.Franklin resigned himself. He went to the parking lot and drove the red sports car according to Clara's directions. This time, the destination was an elite area that Franklin had never visited before.Although it was an elite area, getting there was quite a test of his adrenaline. It was a luxurious place, but Franklin knew it was the center of one of the major cartels in his country.Clara [I'm sure you can use a weapon.

After a long and tense journey, Clara finally arrived in front of the Franklin family home. She glanced at Franklin in the passenger seat, who still looked tired and shaken by all the events they had just gone through.

The tears she had been holding back now began to well up in her eyes."Franklin... Are you okay?" Clara's voice sounded hoarse, full of emotion.
