Izzy's eyes dilated in shock as she noticed he fell unconscious. She held his face, worried.
"So-Sorry, l- Just now, l- l didn't mean to "Izzy whined, shaking the hand she used in slapping him.
The doctor walked up to them. "Excuse me, let me check him "he said and Izzy moved aside.
"Send him inside "he said to the nurse and she nodded.
"Okay "
"We have arrived at the scene of the accident. Here you can see that we have medical workers here. The police and firemen are still searching. Up till now, no one injured has been found. For further news, please stay tuned "The announcer, announced and Jane looked on, worried.
Liam and Noah knocked on the door, hastily and a maid opened up. They pushed her aside and rushed in.
"Dad! Dad!! Mom! "They yelled and arrived at the dinning room where their father and mother sat having dinner.
"What happened? Why are you hurrying down here like something bad happened? "His Dad asked.
"Well, something bad did happen "Liam responded and Mateo nodded.
"What happened? "His Mom asked.
"It's Zach. He-His car fell into the sea. The police are searching for him now "Liam stuttered, frightened.
His Dad and Mom rose up as his eyes dilated in shock. "How is he now? Tell me! "he yelled.
"Well, Dad, he might have fallen into the sea "Mateo replied this time around.
"Impossible! How could it be! "Mrs. Hidalgo mumbled, scared.
Mr. Hidalgo held onto his chest, groaning in pain. He slumped on the chair and Mateo ran off to get an ambulance.
The Smiths, sitting at the spacious living room, their attention. The Smiths were great competitors of the Hidalgos families but to the Hidalgos, the Smiths were nothing more than business partners.
The journalist announced, "Around 1pm this afternoon, Zach Hidalgo, the CEO of H group and ZG Enterprises and his car with a plate number of 6TRJ244 fell into a sea. The car was salvaged by the police but Zach Grayson was not in. The police and search team are widening their search for him. We'll follow it up and keep up update "
Mrs. Smith darted her eyes to her daughter, Mia, as she was so sad at hearing what happened to Zach.
She exhaled deeply, "No news about him yet. l'm afraid it's bad news "
Mr Smith scoffed, "it's better that he doesn't come back. Noah Hidalgo is old and getting useless. His eldest son manages the estate and his third son spends all his time in the entertainment circle. The most important is e-commerce and his second son has been in charge of it. Now he's gone missing. Here's our chance. Mia, inform the marketing department to expand our business as soon as possible. While ZG Enterprises is left without a leader, it is time for us to take back the top spot of e-commerce "
Zach has been attended to and all his injuries bandaged and a cast placed on his broken leg. Izzy stared at him as his eyes fluttered open.
He looked around and as his eyes landed on Izzy, he moved back in shock. He stared at her, weirdly as she smiled at him.
"Stop smiling. It feels so uncomfortable "he grouched and Izzy's smile disappeared. "who are you? "he added.
"l- "
"Lend me your phone "he interrupted her and she removed her phone from her pocket and handed it to him.
"My phone? For what? "she asked.
"To call the police "he responded and Izzy gasped, grabbing the phone from his grasp.
Izzy looked around, sneaky, "What? "
"Did you hit me? "He asked, menacingly and Izzy sighed.
"No, no- I can explain it. That is not the case "she responded.
"Then call the police "he insisted and Izzy clasped her hands.
"Please. If there's something wrong, we can talk it over. Can we not call the police? Please "she pleaded, rubbing her palms together.
Zack stared at her, "Well, who am l? "he asked and Izzy blinked her eyes. Zach stared at her, demanding an response.
"You- You don't know who you are? "she asked.
"All l remember is that you hit me "he answered and that's when, the Doctor walked in and Izzy signalled him to stay mute.
"How are you feeling? "The doctor asked, as he stood before them.
"A little dizzy "Zach answered.
"Doctor, didn't he hurt his leg? But why does it seems like something's wrong with his brain too? "Izzy whispered and the Doctor looked through his files.
"The test results looks all right. But being hit by external forces can cause a mild concussion, resulting in a temporary memory gap "The Doctor replied.
"External forces? "she asked. She recalled when they kissed and she slapped him making him fall unconscious.
She stared at her hand and at Zach and he returned the deadly stare. She feigned a smile and faced the doctor.
"Well, for how long will he remain like this? "She queried.
"It's hard to tell. A couple of days or several months, it's all possible. Pay for it first and then get the prescription "he responded, handing a paper over to Izzy.
"Have a good rest "He said to Zach before walking away. She smiled at Zach and pointed at the paper
"Pay "she said and walked away with a purse. She received the bill and looked at the amount. She sighed.
"Excuse me "she said to the receptionist. "I wonder if you can give me a discount "
"No, we can't "she responded with a smile.
"Well, why is it so expensive? Was it the dean who did the surgery? "
"The surgery is certainly not expensive, but there are fees for hospitalization "
"So, if we don't stay in the hospital, will it lessen? I mean how much will it be? "she asked.
"8000 dollars "
"Well then, we'll not be hospitalized "she concluded and proffered her credit card to the nurse. The nurse held onto it but lzzy was not willing to let it go as they held onto it, pulling it to both sides.
A nurse examined Zach's face, "It would be a shame to have a scar on such a handsome face. You should get an insurance for your face "
"My face isn't hurt, is it? "Zack asked.
"A little wound is still a wound. Let me see, pay attention to minor injuries "She said and did finishing touches to his plastered bruises and smiled.
"I'll be off now "she said and rolled the trolley away.
Izzy came by and said, "The Doctor said there's no need to stay in the hospital, just come back regularly for checkups. I'm going to get the paper for discharging now so you can pack your things and we'll be ready to go "
Zach took a piece of paper and pen on the table and began scribbling on it. Izzy looked at him.
"Is that okay? "she asked but Zach ignored.
"Here "he said, handing her the paper.
"What is this? "Izzy asked.
"The compensation you have to pay "
