บท 226: If only

What happened next was like a slow motion and a blur in her memories.

The armed man slowly staggered backwards, and fell to the ground and landed on his butt. He was staring horrified at Kei. His eyes felt like they were about to pop out.

After what felt like an eternity, he quickly scrambled to get up and frantically crawled further using both of his hands; the man grabbed Kei's wallet and paper bag and hurriedly ran away.

Risa was standing in shock while looking at Kei who was clutching onto his chest. He slowly lost his balance and stumbled forward onto her. Risa swiftly caught him, but his weight dragged her down with him. Both of them soon fell onto the ground.

"NO!! Kei!!" Risa screamed out of her lungs.

"No, darling, No!"

She started to sob real hard, "Help," she started to yell, but her throat was choked up.

"HELP! Someone!"

"Anyone! Please!"

"HELP!!"
