Is this destiny?

Chapter 716 - Trouble In LA Medical Center (6)

~ LA Medical Center ~

On the parking lot in the back of the LA Medical Center…

When Charlie told his bodyguards to go and apprehend those three people, he was confident that there will be no problems. His bodyguards have a good training in martial arts compared to most of the people, and they are strong, big men. One glance at to those three relatively slim people who came out of the LA Medical Center, and it's obvious who is at an advantage. At least that is what he thought.

However, in less than a minute, he saw that those three people are fast and nimble beyond his expectations. Charlie was unable to believe that his men are being defeated one by one, like they are total beginners.

Charlie gripped armrest of his wheelchair, frustrated that he is helpless. If he could move, he would go and fight. Desire to heal his legs swelled inside him and he wished that JoAnna is here and that she can operate on him right now.

He was surprised to see Sarah rush out the way she did. Reckless. She is just a skinny girl, compared to any of his men, what can she do?

Charlie's mouth was slightly open when he saw Sarah perform some crazy spin mid-air and kick doctor-impersonator in the back, making him fall forward. Sarah commanded his men to clear out the area and to stay back while getting attention from other two people.

What he saw next, made him hold his breath. Sarah was moving so quickly that her limbs morphed into a blur. It was an amazing sight and Charlie was not able to look away. He was stunned observing her speed and agility… her focus was breathtaking, she even looked like she is smiling a little.

After several minutes of that amazing display, Charlie glanced at his uncle and saw that Jarred is also staring at Sarah, unable to believe his own eyes.

Truly a remarkable young lady.

…

At that time, inside LA Medical Center…

Aiden rushed down the stairs as fast as he could. His only thought was that he needs to be there on time. He can't allow Sarah to get hurt. He believes in her skills, but there are three of them, and they are not to play with.

He reached exit door and immediately rushed toward closest of the three who attacked Sarah.

Simo managed to almost evade Aiden's kick by leaping backward, but his arm was still grazed and throbbed from the impact. Simo rubbed his arm and stared at Aiden while thinking that if that kick connected better, his arm would be broken.

"What took you so long?", Sarah asked while moving to avoid Mari's leg.

Aiden's sudden appearance made Lazo, Simo and Mari take a step back and assess the situation.

"Someone told me that she will not fight! And I believed her!", Aiden squeezed between his teeth.

"Let's talk about this later." Sarah tried to pacify Aiden. Well, she knew that he will scold her for this. Sarah will explain everything later. Hopefully he steams out some of his anger while fighting these three. "Doctor is the leader."

"I will take him.", Aiden announced.

'Of course, you will.' She knows that he will start from the top, taking the most dangerous one for himself in order to minimize the chance for her to get hurt.

Sarah smiled while trying to suppress her anxiety and glanced at Aiden. "Remember… be careful."

He understood the meaning behind her words, it was not to expose himself.

Aiden launched series of attacks on Lazo who was caught by surprise. He didn't expect such speed and strength. Few hits landed and even with Lazo blocking them, he lost his balance and stumbled back. Simo jumped in front of Aiden, not letting him finish off Lazo, and after few hits, Simo ended up getting kicked in the chest. Simo held onto his aching chest, assessing if his bones are OK, and he was happy that Lazo regained his footing and was facing against Aiden again. Lazo and Simo took turns in keeping Aiden occupied while the other one caught his breath, and it took several minutes of constant barrage of hits before Aiden managed to get a clean kick on Simo which broke his leg.

With only Mari in front of her, Sarah didn't have any problems defeating her. Sarah is faster and more skilled than Mari. As Stella said, one-on-one against any of them, Sarah has no problems. Having Aiden by her side made her feel at ease, and part of her enjoyed this sudden exercise. It's not every day that she bumps into an opponent who can stand up against her (almost). Sarah even took the liberty of trying out few moves which she made up herself and was happy that they landed successfully. Evil grin appeared on Sarah's face when she saw how desperate Mari was becoming with every passing moment.

Mari glared at Sarah while panic consumed her. She definitely noticed that since Aiden joined, Sarah's movements are faster, much faster, and her attacks are more precise. How is this possible?

After a short exchange of blows, one kick in the chest, two in the thighs… one clean kick in the head from Sarah finished Mari off, and she ended up on the ground, unconscious.

Sarah sighed in relief when she saw that Simo is down. As much as she enjoys this, she is getting tired and needs to rest.

After realizing that his companions are unable to fight anymore, Lazo stared at Sarah and Aiden while trying to find a way to get out of his predicament. "One on one, alright?", he tried to negotiate.

Aiden frowned while thinking how this man is shameless, it was three of them attacking Sarah, and now that he is at a disadvantage, he wants to negotiate?

"That is not what I saw when I arrived here. It was three of you against a helpless girl."

Sarah looked at Aiden and wanted to ask: 'What helpless girl? I was doing just fine!'

Everyone else who heard Aiden wanted to ask the same what Sarah was thinking, especially Lazo.

Aiden smirked seeing that Lazo is confused.

"How about this? Two of us will hold hands." Aiden took Sarah's hand in his, and their fingers interlinked.

Sarah is not sure what got into Aiden, but after all the fighting, feeling his hand holding onto hers was very soothing.

Lazo thought how these two youngsters must be crazy. Why would they put themselves at such a disadvantage? If they hold hands, they will need to coordinate their movements perfectly, otherwise one will drag the other down even if both of them are experts.

Lazo already saw that Milena's daughter is a formidable opponent. Three of them were able to keep her busy only because they didn't allow her to connect multiple hits on one person, so they were taking turns attacking and resting, while Sarah defended like crazy and even attacked few times successfully. And Lazo would be foolish to deny that Aiden surprised him. Lazo didn't know that Aiden has skills, and he was amazed with what he saw. Only if they are not against each other, he would be able to admire him openly.

However, no matter what skills they have, if they are not well coordinated, it will be useless.

Sarah and Aiden glanced at each other and smiled. They are happy that they are together. Aiden put his thumb over Sarah's indicating that he will take the lead. Sarah gave him a small nod, she will follow.

Seeing that Aiden and Sarah are looking at each other and smiling, Lazo was not sure what to think. Should he use this opportunity and flee? Or attack while they are distracted? Why does it look like that no matter what he does, if he moves, he will interrupt an intimate moment between lovers?
