The Mafia's Limping bride

CHAPTER 6 – The few blood spots

Triston’s POV

“Marco, bring me a clean towel” I was kneeling in front of the woman who was unconsciously lying on the floor.

“Is she gonna be OK?” I heard the soft voice of the kid. He is worried about the woman.

“The doctor is on the way. I guess she is all right, she lost a lot of blood. For how long she was unconscious?” I asked while still looking at her.

“I guess more than half an hour” the kid replied.

I can’t keep her on the floor, I took her into my arms and then kept her on the bed. The light color bedsheet has started to get covered with her blood.

“Boss, here is the towel” Marco gave me a towel.

“I need a bowl of water also,” I said.

“Boss, shall I ask a maid to come and do the stuff? You don’t need to do this. This is a random woman who….”

“Shut the f*Ck up. You f*cked up the things and are now giving me pieces of advice? Do what I said” The last words of what I said came out with a little high tone which made the kid startle.

“I don’t want to scare you. I am fed up with my men” I took the clean towel and started to clean her wound. The right side of the face was covered with blood. My heart wants to see her face. But why?

“Boss, here is the water” Marco kept the water bowl on the bed and I soaked a corner of the towel with water and started to clean her face and the wound. I am surprised about myself how can I be so gentle towards a woman which I never saw before?

“Slowly do it, she might get hurt,” the kid said to me from behind.

“Who is she to you? I am sure that she is not your mother” I was sure because I had seen Avin’s family. Before we kidnap or are involved in a murder, we check the background of the person and maintain a file until the case is dismissed.

“She is my favorite teacher. She is not second to my mom. She takes care of us at school like her own children”

So, she is a teacher! A naughty teacher! I mentally smirked at my perverted thought.

Little by little her face started to get revealed. When I was done with the face then I moved towards the wound. It was a bit deep it seems like she needs stitches. Her face seems painful like she is holding a huge pain.

“What’s the ma….what the f*ck, who is she? What is a woman doing here?” it was Zane who barged into the room and was surprised to see a woman.

“Zane Duncan, what took you so long to come?” I gave him a cold shoulder.

“I am not dressed and ready to come for your things. I have my work to do in the hospital. I was performing a surgery and rushed to you by handing over the surgery to another doctor, is this how you show your gratitude to me?” Zane is my only cousin, I mean I have a lot of cousins, but he is the only one I trust and maintain my relationship with.

“Who is she? What is a kid doing here?” Zane asked unfolding his medical box.

“Doesn’t matter, you just check on the woman” I said.

Zane wore his surgical gloves and started to look for the wound. He turned her head side by side to find if there were more wounds.

“I guess her head hit on a corner of that table” Marco asked a maid to clean the floor and Zane said looking at the bloody floor.

“Yes,” I replied.

“Did you hit her? Why did you bring a woman here? Triston, I have never seen you bring a woman to the safe house and…..”

“Zane, it’s a long story. I didn’t bring any women. She is just a byproduct” I said.

“Byproduct?” Zane questioned and nodded his head by pressing his lips. Zane started to clean the wound and then started stitching. The woman is still unconscious. I guess it has been two hours since she fell.

“Why isn’t she gaining the consciousness?” I asked Zane.

“She does not have a muscular body like you and you can see how slender her body she is having. Her pulse is also a little weak, I am not sure whether she had a healthy meal every day” Her face is pale. I thought that’s because of the blood loss. I noticed that the cloth shoulder of her was torn.

“Everything is done. Tomorrow I have to check the wound and do the dressing again. I will keep the medicine here and make sure that she has them as soon as she wakes up and I will come tomorrow to dress the wound again. In case I didn’t come, do the dressing with clean hands Triston” Zane got up from the bed and turned towards the kid.

“Hello little fella, let’s check about you also” he kneeled in front of Avin and took his stethoscope to check about him.

“I want to go home” I heard Avin speaking to Zane with a soft voice. Zane didn’t utter a word and checked about Avin.

“Marco, how did this happen?” I pointed to her torn shoulder and asked while Zane was checking Avin.

“Boss, it was an accident while we were fighting?” Marco said.

“Fighting? You fought with this woman?” I asked with a question look and comparing Marco’s body and her body in my mind.

“Yes, she had her crutches. She started to hit us with it. When we didn’t have any option we injected the kid and her both and brought them here” Zane started to laugh irritatingly.

“The big muscles guys were hit by a thin woman” Zane was laughing rolling on the floor. Indeed, it was a thing to laugh.

“Don’t tell this to anyone, other gangs will turn you guys into ashes” I kicked Zane, but the f*cker didn’t stop his laugh.

“Zane, if you don’t stop your f*cking laugh, I will blow your head” I pulled my gun to threaten Zane. This is a normal thing between us, but it was not normal for Avin.

Zane suddenly stopped his laugh and looked at Avin. Avin was hiding his face on the bed and his back was hiccupping. I guess he was crying.

“I guess, he is scared. Lower your gun, you i***t” Zane hit my hand and I tucked it back into my belt.

“Hey kiddo, it was a toy. We were playing. It’s OK” Zane started to pat his back.

“Mom says that even as a toy, do not play with the guns” Avin was still hiding his face. He remembers my childhood. Not a single parent wants to see their children carrying guns. I was pushed by my people to where I am today. Otherwise, I also had dreams and plans to do when I became an adult.

“Kid, look. He withdrew his gun. Don’t be scared. You want to go outside?”

“Zane…” I don’t like it when someone grabs my things from my plate.

“Don’t worry. He will settle for a while if he gets some fresh air. Don’t expect a child will stay calm in this dungeon” Zane took Avin and walked outside and I looked at Marco. He understood that he should go with Zane.

I looked at the woman who was lying on the bed. She is pretty. She looks innocent. She is…

Ugh, Triston what are you thinking? Are you getting interested in this woman? You know nothing about this woman. This can be a threat to you!

I saw her bare shoulder with the bra strap. I covered her with the sheet until her skin was unseen. My gaze slowly moved down until I saw a few blood spots on the bedsheets where her b*tt hit.

Where is this blood coming from? Is she having her periods?!

Then I saw she was moving a little. She is gaining her consciousness back!
