Throw Them Out

“Poor girl, why is she alone?”

“Where are her parents? How can they be so irresponsible?”

Bystanders gossiped and finger-pointed.

Some of them turned their heads as if avoiding a horrific scene.

As Calvin drew nearer, his heart raced like a wild stallion within his chest, each beat echoing the tumult of his emotions.

Through the haze of panic and despair, he began to discern the outline of a figure sprawled on the unforgiving pavement, the stark contrast of blood against the pale surface sending a jolt of terror coursing through his veins.

There, on the floor, laid his sister, broken and fragile.

With a voice choked with dread and desperation, he called out his sister's name, the syllables hanging heavy in the air amidst the chaos of the crowd.

Anxious faces turned towards him, eyes wide with fear and uncertainty, parting like a hesitant tide to make way for Calvin's frenzied approach.

With every step, his lungs burned with the effort of drawing in air, his mind consumed by a singular, desperate urge: to reach Lizzie's side before it was too late.

At last, Calvin reached her, his legs trembling beneath him as he sank to his knees beside her motionless form.

With trembling hands, he reached out, his fingers brushing against her blood-soaked skin as he pleaded for aid, his voice a raw symphony of anguish and despair.

The once boisterous crowd fell silent, their fearful murmurs fading into the background as Calvin enveloped his sister's battered body in his arms. Tears streamed down his face unchecked, mingling with the crimson stains that marked her fragile form.

With trembling lips pressed against her forehead, he whispered words of desperate prayer, his heart splintering into a thousand jagged shards at the sight of her pale, lifeless face.

"Please, Lizzie," he pleaded, his voice thick with emotion. "Stay with me. Don't leave me alone."

Frantically, he sought any sign of life, his fingers trembling as he pressed them against her neck, searching for the faintest whisper of a pulse. And then, in a moment of both agony and hope, he felt it—a faint, almost imperceptible beat beneath his touch.

"Help! Somebody, please!" he cried, his voice cracking with urgency. "She's still alive!"

“Who dares step forward!”

As doctors and nurses rushed to Lizzie's aid, their urgent footsteps were drowned out by the cacophony of panicked voices. A sudden shout pierced through the chaos, commanding them to halt.

Startled, the medical staff turned to see Kevin striding arrogantly into the scene, his presence casting a shadow of apprehension over the frantic efforts to save Lizzie.

“Stop right there!”

With a disdainful wave of his hand, Kevin ordered the medical staff to stand down, his voice laced with contempt as he asserted his authority.

"This patient owes the hospital a significant amount of money. No one is to assist her until her debts are settled. Anyone who defies this order will be held personally responsible for her unpaid bills!"

The threat hung ominously in the air, paralyzing the resolve of the medical professionals who exchanged worried glances but dared not defy Kevin's command.

Calvin's fury erupted like a volcano, fueled by a primal instinct to protect his sister at any cost. Disregarding the potential consequences, he let out a guttural roar of defiance and charged at Kevin with unbridled rage.

His fist collided with Kevin's jaw with a sickening thud, sending the man crashing to the ground in a heap of limbs and pride.

The impact reverberated through the courtyard, momentarily silencing the chaos as Calvin stood over his fallen adversary, his chest heaving with exertion and righteous anger. A surge of satisfaction coursed through him, but it was quickly overshadowed by the grim reality of Lizzie's dire condition.

Ignoring the shocked onlookers and the groaning form of Kevin sprawled at his feet, Calvin turned back to his sister, his hands trembling as he reached out to cradle her limp form. Tears welled in his eyes as he whispered words of reassurance, vowing to do whatever it took to save her, regardless of the obstacles in his path.

"You! How dare you!" Kevin's voice thundered, his face contorted with rage as he struggled to rise with the aid of some guards.

"Get them out of here!" Kevin bellowed once more, his command echoing through the courtyard.

However, some guards hesitated, their hearts moved with pity for Calvin and his sister, their sense of compassion conflicting with Kevin's harsh directives.

"I said, get them out of here!" Kevin's voice cracked with fury, his eyes blazing as he reiterated his demand, unwilling to tolerate any defiance.
