Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 144

Kyle’s P.O.V.

“I don’t care what you have to do to make them understand that I want my daughter back alive, Alex. Ask them… ask them to do their best. I am not here to listen that there is no hope,” Mrs. Parker almost shook Mr. Parker badly while yelling at him in agony. I couldn’t blame her because, right now, I was also fuming in rage. I wanted to replace those bastards and kill them without feeling any remorse. “They’re doing their best, Rose,” Mr. Parker tried to console her again, but she shook her head furiously while shaking him. She had grabbed him by the shirt on his chest and was continuously shaking him.

“They are not trying their best, Alex. They are not. “Ask them to give it their all,” she screamed angrily while shaking him. He pulled her into his embrace and she started crying bitterly. “Don’t lose your hope, mom. She will pull her out of this situation too,” Ethan yelled at her when I squeezed his shoulder to make him stop. He glared hard at me but looked in the other direction immediately. I sighed and looked at the light above the “Operation Room” sign. She was inside that room for more than an hour, and the doctor just came out of the room and told us that her condition was critical and it was a possibility that she couldn’t make it out.

Samantha was no better than her. Victor was also holding her in his embrace at a distance, and the same went with her biological mother. Mr. Westfield was holding her in his embrace, and she was also crying bitterly. It was nothing but irony for Violet. Jenny was also with Samantha and was trying to console her that everything would be okay. All the boys were still here, as they refused to go back. Everyone was anxious, but we could do nothing but wait for another update. It was Ethan’s birthday yesterday, and it turned out to be the worst day of our lives. Everyone here was worried, and sleep deprived.

I didn’t know what to think or how to react in this situation. My mind was completely numb. She was unconscious and had stopped breathing once inside the ambulance, which had brought her all the way here. They rushed her into the operating room, and all we knew was that she was critically injured due to a head injury. Other injuries are not so serious but they hit her head not once but four times and one of them was more fatal than the others. Whoever hired those goons had to want Violet dead, or else they wouldn’t have been so brutal on her.

“Kyle,” I looked up when my father when he called my name. I looked at Ethan with concern. “I am fine,” he said to me in a low tone. I looked at Mr. and Mrs. Parker and took a deep breath. She was still crying but Mr. Parker managed to calm her down a bit. I walked towards my father as he signaled me to go a little further from them. “What is it, dad?” I asked him after we stopped at a safe distance. “The police have started investigating the case and they called your mother to the police station,” he told me and I raised my brows in confusion. “Our company has hired a security service to guard that place but your mother told the HR, not to renew the contract with them, and left that place unguarded. The police asked me to hold the demolition of that place so that they can search the whole place, and also that place is now a crime scene,” my father explained everything.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead in irritation. “They also doubted your mother in Violet’s kidnapping case,” he continued and I looked at him in confusion. “What about Millie’s involvement then?” I asked him in confusion. “Her father has already called his lawyer and refused to let her be questioned by the police,” he replied to me in an irritating tone. “Are we lacking lawyers, dad?” I asked him angrily and he looked at me helplessly. “What?” I asked him in an irritating tone. What was the use of being rich and powerful if you can’t even protect your family member?

“Nothing, son…. Just leave everything on me,” he answered me and patted my arm gently. “I don’t care, dad, if the police manage to interrogate her or not. If they can’t then I will do it by my way. There is no way that I will let her go away from this. She messed with the wrong person this time,” I said to him in an aggressive tone. “You will not do anything, Kyle. I asked you to leave everything on me then trust me,” he immediately scolded me while holding me by my arm. We both held our gazes but didn’t say a word again. “Just trust me, son,” he asked me one more time in a desperate tone this time.

“Okay, dad…. I.. I trust you,” I answered him in a defeated tone this time. “Kyle,” I looked behind when I heard Ethan yelling my name in a panicked tone. I ran towards him when I saw a doctor coming out of the door. My dad was almost behind me. Everyone approached the doctor. “We are shifting her in the ICU. The surgery went well but her condition is still critical,” the doctor informed us in a calm tone. “Is she alright?” Mrs. Parker asked him worriedly in a choked tone. She was still crying. The doctor passed her a tight smile. “Let’s pray that she manages to pass this day,” he asked her in an apologetic tone.

My heart almost stopped beating at his words. Ethan stumbled hard but I held him tightly by his shoulders. He looked at me with tearful eyes. I was no better than him but I still had hope in my heart. “He said that she is still alive, okay? “Don’t lose hope,” I tried to console him, but it appeared that I was consoled myself. She managed to make it through the surgery. She was a fighter and had a strong will to fight for her life. She always made it through, and I was confident, but not this time. Her last words were still ringing in my ears when she asked me if she was going to die.

“Excuse me,” the doctor asked us and then he went back. My heart was now pounding hard against my ribcage now. We heard the OR door open again and turned to face it. “Violet,” Ethan yelled while running towards her with me. My heart almost came out of my mouth when I saw her all covered in pipes and wires. Why did they attach so many wires to her body? My eyes widened in horror and I tightened my grip on Ethan’s arm. They didn’t stop and dragged her bed away from us. We all just ran behind her.

They stopped us outside the ward and dragged her bed inside. I watched her going inside through a glass window at the door. “I will kill her…. See what she did to our baby,” Mrs. Parker cried once again while holding Mr. Parker. “I swear to God, Henry, if you don’t put her behind bars for what she did to my daughter, I will kill her with my bare hands,” Violet’s mother screamed, threatening her husband as well. I looked at Samantha who was also devastated but she looked so helpless right now. She was also heartbroken, but she was helpless because she couldn’t do anything against a powerful person like Mr. Matthews, Millie’s father. but I was not helpless like him.

“You don’t worry…. She mess with the wrong people, Nathalie. We have enough evidence to prove that she is guilty. Her father can only delay her arrest but can’t save her,” Mr. Westfield comforted Violet’s mother but his statement got everyone’s attention. “Evidence? What evidence?” I asked him immediately while walking towards him. He took a deep breath while looking at me. “We got the footage in which she took out Sia’s bag from the back of her car and also got other footage from the dashcam of a car in which she was taking something from a man who had covered his face, by the cap of his hoodie,” he told us in a calm tone, but this enough to make us raise our brows.

“I am going to handle this case personally. Violet is still my daughter and there is no way that I will let someone go away after hurting my daughter like this,” he said further in a firm tone. “What about the involvement of Violet’s father?” Ethan asked this time and I also looked at him questioningly. “We didn’t get any solid evidence against his involvement. He is really bankrupt right now and had not enough money to pay someone for kidnapping. So, the police released him and he is also coming here,” Mr. Westfield answered Ethan.

“Millie has paid 10 million for kidnapping,” Axel spoke this time and we all snapped our heads towards him in shock. “What?” I heard voices behind me and my eyes widened in shock. “Yeah… someone paid 10 million to a mafia group for killing an orphan girl from our school three days ago,” he told us in a cold tone while looking at me. “10 million?? How did she get that much money?” Vivek asked in shock this time and I narrowed my eyes while thinking about all the possibilities. “Either she stole that money from her father or someone gave her that money,” David spoke this time while thinking something really hard.

Both Axel and David were in contact with the man who was secretly assisting us with all of this. He didn’t want to come in front of anyone as it could put his life in danger, and we also promised him that we won’t tell anyone his name. I was grateful to him that he helped us a lot in replaceing Violet. “With all the evidences, I am going to file a case against Millie Matthews and also will try to get the court orders for an audit of Mr. Matthews’ bank accounts so that we can come to know how did she get that money?” Mr. Westfield said in a calm tone. I looked at my father who was busy thinking about something very hard.

“Dad,” I called him and he looked at me in a trance. “What happened?” I asked him while looking at him suspiciously. “I need to check something too,” he answered me and before I could ask him anything, he almost stormed out of that place. “Dad,” I called him while yelling aloud but he didn’t stop. “I think he is suspicious about your mother’s involvement in this case,” Ethan whispered in my ear as he was still standing beside me. “I am having the same doubt about her,” I told him while thinking about her behavior and her approach to us after the kidnapping. She told us that someone called her and told her about our hospitalization. The number was not in use now.

My mother then continuously persuaded me to stay away from this case. She even had a fight with my dad. She hated Violet so much only because Sia told her so many things about Violet. She didn’t want me to be with Violet. What if she was the one who is helping Millie here? I looked at Ethan and he also had the same expression as mine. I was about to say something when the door of the ICU department opened and a doctor came out. We all immediately went near him. “She is stable but critical. We are keeping a close eye on her for the next twenty-four hours due to her head injury. The wounds are not so deep but her condition got worsened due to the b***d loss,” he paused and took a deep breath.

“Her fighting spirit is tremendous and I can say that she is still fighting hard for her life. Let’s pray that she wins this fight,” he finished whatever he wanted to tell us in a sympathetic tone. I smiled faintly and looked at Ethan. “Did you hear…. I told you that she won’t stop fighting. She is a fighter and…. And I am sure that she will come back to us,” I said to him in a proud tone but my voice cracked in the end. He immediately held me by my arm and rubbed it gently. “I trust your trust in her, Kyle. If you are saying so… then she will,” he said in a confident and calm tone.

The doctor then walked back inside. “I think you all should go back home and rest for a while. We can do nothing but to wait for another update,” Mr. Parker said to all of us. I looked at everyone. Everyone was exhausted and tired but none of them seemed willing to go back to his home. “We are okay, Mr. Parker… we will wait,” Noah answered him with a small smile. Mr. Parker shook his head and looked at us worriedly. “You all are completely exhausted and in dire need of sleep. We can’t do anything but wait. So, it will be better if you all go home and take some rest before coming back. “We have to rotate ourselves once she wakes up,” Mr. Parker tried to explain the situation once more.

I pursed my lips and looked at the boys. “I think… dad is right…. We should be in a good condition before she wakes up,” I said to them this time. None of them wanted to go back but understood the situation. “Okay… we are going back and will be back soon,” David spoke this time with a sigh. I smiled and nodded to him. They all looked at us worriedly but I gave them an assuring smile. “You should go back too, Jenny. You are also with me for almost the whole night,” Samantha said to Jenny in a cracked voice. Jenny immediately shook her head negatively. “No… I… I want to stay,” Jenny answered her in a cracked voice.

“You should go, Jenny. You have an exam today,” Noah said to her and I raised my brows at her in surprise. “Exam is not important as her,” Jenny immediately protested, making me smile this time. “Try to understand, honey. You know Violet well. She will feel guilty if she comes to know that you skip your exam for her. Do you want her to be sad after waking up, huh?” Samantha asked her in a calm tone while putting her hand on Jenny’s shoulder. “But,” Jenny tried to protest but Samantha raised her hand to stop her. Jenny sighed and looked at me helplessly. “She is right, Jenny. You should go and give your exam. Violet will be fine and who knows if she wakes up by the time you come,” I also tried to persuade her.

She lowered her head and sniffed. I signaled Noah to take her back. He slowly walked to her and pulled her into his side embrace. “Let’s go,” he said to her in a gentle tone. She looked up at him first and then back at me. “Inform me whenever she wakes up,” she asked me and I nodded to her. “You should go back too, son. You are also tired, and you also need to clean yourself,” Mr. Parker said to me but I refused immediately. “No, dad… I am not going anywhere,” I answered him in a calm tone, refusing to go away from him. “Instead… you all should go and take care of other matters,” I continued and he pursed his lips into a thin line.

I looked at Samantha and Violet’s mother. “Kids are alone at home. You should go back and take care of them,” I said to them. “No, Kyle… I… I don’t want to go,” Samantha immediately protested in a choking tone. I sighed and looked at Victor. “He is right, Sam. We should go back and freshen up. We can come back after that and can bring something for them to eat,” Victor also persuaded her in a gentle tone. She looked at him with tearful eyes. “I and Kyle will stay back and will inform you if they tell us anything about her,” Ethan proposed and I also nodded in agreement. “We should go and check with the police. We also have to file the case,” Mr. Westfield spoke this time.

“Yeah… you are right. We shouldn’t delay this anymore,” Mr. Parker said this time with a sigh and looked at Mrs. Parker. “Let’s go, Rose. We have a lot of stuff to take care of you and I really need your help in these matters,” Mr. Parker said to mom, and she nodded. “Yes, there is no way that I will let that girl go away with this. She has to pay for what she did to my daughter,” mom said in a firm tone while wiping her face with the back of her hands. All the adults then looked at us and I gave them an assuring smile.

Both I and Ethan sighed aloud and sat down on the chairs in the corridor. I cracked my neck as it was stiff and I was feeling the pain too. “Are you alright?” Ethan asked me in a worried tone. “Are you?” I asked him in a calm tone instead of answering him. He sighed and shook his head negatively. “No… I am not… I can’t be… I …. We almost lost her yesterday. What is the use of being a powerful personality if you can’t even protect your loved ones, huh?” he asked me in a bitter tone and looked back at the closed doors of the ICU department. I stared at the door blankly. “Do you think that Millie is alone in this, huh?” I asked him in a calm tone.

He sighed and looked back at me. I also looked back at him blankly. “If you want to know my opinion, then I had this feeling that she is alone in this,” he answered me in a calm tone, and I knitted my brows in confusion. “At first, I also had this thought that your mother is also involved in this. But she is not stupid to use her own property to hide her. Also, your mother was with us all the time. She could have informed or at least asked someone to take Violet away from that place after she came to know that we got Violet’s location. She was alone at my house with my mother and other ladies. She could use that time to replace out if Violet is still alive. Think about that. Your mother has her own connections. She doesn’t need a teenager like Millie to finish her dirty work. She can easily hire a more capable group of goons to kill Violet,” he gave his opinion in a calm and serious tone.

I just stared at him while processing what he said. He was not wrong about what he said about my mother. She was an independent and successful woman. She was also known for her ruthless means to finish any business if necessary. She didn’t need a teenager like Millie for anything. Above all, she won’t put my life in danger at any cost. I saw her face when I woke up in the hospital bed yesterday. The worry was written all over her face and she was so relieved, and her smile was still fresh in my mind. “We have plenty of time to think about the whole incident. Let’s think about every possibility that can lead us to the main culprit here,” Ethan patted my shoulder and I just nodded, still thinking about the involvement of my mother.
