Chapter 44. Desperate Measures

Dominic’s POV

I stood against the chilling wall of the hospital corridor, my eyes glued to the clock. The ticking of the second hand was a countdown, every moment that passed was an indication of how fast time was dwindling. Luca walked beside me; his anger almost bursting out. It was all going wrong and you could feel the panic in the air.

“Dom,” Luca said under his breath, bringing himself to a halt. “We can’t wait anymore.”

I nodded, my mind racing. “You’re right. We can’t keep waiting. Michael doesn’t have much time. We must teach these doctors that they cannot fail.”

His eyes darkened as his expression turned stubborn. “We have resources, connections. Let’s use them.”

We headed to the hospital admin without another word. I could feel the tension in my chest winding tighter with each step, but I swallowed it down. This was no time to hesitate. Michael’s life was there for the taking and I wasn’t going to let it get away.
