章 153: An Emergency

When Adam noticed that Alice had taken a fall, his heart started to beat in a loud staccato as he raced around the car to check on her. An unknown fear in his heart, he saw that Alice was lying on the ground with a pale face. There was no injury in the front but there was blood oozing out on the ground under her.

With trembling hands, he called the emergency and shouted into the phone once the dispatcher asked," My wife has been shot. Please send an ambulance!"

They were in a different country with a language barrier while Adam who usually did not have an accent almost forgot to speak in English as he begged for help. He tried to think of the first aid measures he had learnt in the earlier years and if they had been taught how to care for gun shot wounds.
