PS I'm Over You

Chapter 41 - Aftermath (1)

Her breath hitched. This isn't true right? Her little Skyler isn't dead. She refused to believe that her son passed away. Ririna sat on the floor with Skyler's body in her arm. Her body shuddered at the thought of losing him.

When Eli arrived at the scene, his heart clenched as he saw his wife looking dejected as she held their son. What had happened? Were they too late to save him?

Eli knelt beside her and took Skyler from her. He knew that she was somehow in trance. Skyler cannot be dead. He is the only one who had managed to fix the ruins between their relationship. No. He refused to believe that they have failed to save their child.

Skyler's forehead is matted with sweat. His little hands are so cold that made his father wonder for how long he suffered from his abductor's hand.

Eli held up Skyler's hand, his fingers trying to find the pulse on his wrist. The little boy doesn't deserve to suffer like this. This little angel that both he and Ririna created. They haven't had enough time with each other. He will not give up on him now.

Skyler's pulse is barely noticeable when he found it. He is still alive and must be treated as soon as possible. Looking at his wife, Eli nudged her arm breaking her thoughts and pulling her back to reality. He took her right hand and placed it above Skyler's c.h.e.s.t.

Ririna's eyes widened. She lifted herself from the ground and pressed her ear on her child's c.h.e.s.t. She could hear his slow heartbeat. Just what kind of drug did they use on her child? She looked up at Eli and asked for a clean handkerchief.

Taking it from his hand, she gently nudge Skyler's mouth to open it. Ririna tried to track the scent of residue from his mouth before gently swiping the handkerchief on his tongue and cheeks hoping that she could identify what drug was used on her child. Her nose took a quick sniff from the sample she gathered.

"He is alive." Ririna finally said. "Although, we need to flushed out the drug from his system as soon as possible. This is kind of drug is almost identical to beta blockers* but aren't really. It looks like a synthetic drug that can only be used to paralyze and weaken one's system."

Eli nodded before taking back Skyler from Ririna. He stood up and helped her getting back on her feet. His grey eyes turned to the dead man on the ground. The stupid guy deserved his death. Eli is a bit surprised on how Ririna managed to kill the guy. So cruel and vindictive just as he expected from his woman.

Ririna took the phone the assailant left on the bed, she then turned to the dead body and checked for other evidences and leads. On his coat, she managed to fish out a blue envelope. She read the contents before following Eli outside the room.

They were meet up by his team with Jerry and Erica. Jerry has Jiro in his arms, his little head resting on Jerry's shoulder. It looks like Skyler isn't the only one that was drugged.

"Is he okay?" Ririna asked.

"We aren't sure. We found Jiro abandoned in a room alone." Erica replied.

"Let's go. Prolonging the drug on system may cause further problems if we waste another minute in here" Eli said with a domineering voice, holding his son closer to his c.h.e.s.t before walking down the staircase to reach the third floor where everyone is waiting.

When they arrived on the bride's room. Aya hurriedly ran towards them when she saw her son. Her eyes are bloodshot from crying. She took Jiro from Jerry and cried once again. Her worry and sadness instantly replaced by relief and happiness.

Ginny who is still in her wedding dress approached them and checked both children. Her eyes full of worry for them. They are her godchildren, she has treated them like her own child.

"They need urgent medical assistance. You can go now. I don't think we can continue this wedding with this kind of emergency." Ginny said before dialing on her phone to call someone.

"I'm sorry, Ginny. This shouldn't have happened if we were careful." Ririna apologized.

Evan waved a hand dismissing her claim. No one had anticipated that someone will infiltrate the occasion. When they found out that Skyler and Jiro were missing, he knew then that the wedding will be cancelled for another day. His nephew and Jiro are more important. Seeing that Erica is also injured, it's a good thing they already called an ambulance earlier.

Louie was also worried about his wife. They were suppose to celebrate the union between their long time best friends not to see his wife badly injured. They escorted both Erica and the children into the ambulance and drove towards the nearest hospital.
