The emergency alarm screamed through the hospital.
Red lights flashed in the dark hallway.
Ryan's voice echoed through the radio.
"Zayn! One minute left!"
Zayn tightened his arms around Ayesha.
Her face was pale.
"What's happening?" she asked weakly.
"There's a bomb," he said quickly.
"But I'll get you out."
Her eyes widened in fear.
The Race
Zayn ran through the hallway.
Doctors and nurses rushed past him.
Patients were being evacuated.
Chaos everywhere.
Ryan's voice came again.
"Forty seconds!"
Zayn reached the stairwell.
But the elevator doors suddenly closed.
Power failure.
"Damn it," he muttered.
He started running down the stairs.
Holding Ayesha carefully.
The Explosion
Ryan stood in the parking level.
The bomb was inside the black bag.
Timer flashing.
00:00:15
He looked around.
Security guards had cleared the area.
But there wasn't enough time to defuse it.
Ryan took a deep breath.
"I have to move it."
He grabbed the bag.
And ran toward the far exit.
Outside the Hospital
Zayn burst through the emergency door.
Fresh air hit his face.
He placed Ayesha safely on a bench.
Just then—
A massive explosion shook the ground.
BOOM!
Flames shot from the parking level.
Windows shattered.
People screamed.
Ayesha grabbed Zayn's arm.
"Ryan…" she whispered.
Zayn's heart dropped.
Ryan was still inside.
Silence
Smoke filled the air.
Sirens approached.
Firefighters rushed in.
Minutes later—
A figure walked out of the smoke.
Coughing.
Covered in dust.
Ryan.
Alive.
Zayn ran to him.
"You idiot," Zayn said.
Ryan laughed weakly.
"Someone had to save your future family."
Across the city—
Adrian watched the news on TV.
The hospital explosion.
He frowned.
"They survived?"
Lina smirked beside him.
"Don't worry."
She held up a photo.
Ayesha's medical report.
And whispered—
"The real surprise… is coming soon."
