"Mmh..." Jack cleared his throat looking at Alex. 'This is awkward' he murmured. "Young master please come with me"
It was clear that Alex was in pain but he held back his tears. He didn't want to cry maybe not infront of so much people.
This day wasn't supposed to end this way. But why did his sister has fall unconscious all of the sudden. Did something happen to her. He walk towards the car, ever step he took was heavy. He got into the car without saying anything.
Jack was stunned for a 14 years old boy to understand such situation clearly. He had seen Alex's IQ records and it was unbelievable for a small boy like him or maybe it's possible for Walker's generation.
"U... Uncle what happened to my sister?" He stuttered with his eyes looking down on his hands.
"I'm really sorry young master, the young miss was fine and all of the sudden she tucked my sleeve tightly and collapsed soon after" he paused and gaze at him through the mirror.
"Young master if I may asked, is the young miss suffering from heights?" Luke asked carefully. He suspects that Akira might be suffering from some kind of phobia but she didn't know but he couldn't tell that to his boss.
"What?" Both Alex and Jack asked simultaneously looking at him.
"Mmh..." Luke cleared his throat. "I mean she was alright all along then all of the sudden she collapse"
"I don't know... We have never fainted before or maybe that I know of" he said and look outside the window watching the buildings that they were passing. He thought about what happened earlier... What could be the course of Akira's collapsing.
While the three of them were immersed in their thoughts they arrived at hospital and rush to the reception.
"Hello... In which ward is miss Akira Smith? I'm Luke and he's Jack and the young master here" He said trying to be patient.
The receptionist gave them the ward number. They rush in the elevator leading them to 30th floor.
....
In 30th floor of the hospital, Amelia sat on the floor sobbing hard with both legs bent and arms hugging them so tight. She ignored everyone including her boss who stood near her with his one leg bent and hands on his pockets.
He stood there like a perfect photograph but inside he was like a volcano that could erupt anytime soon. He was in deep thoughts when he hear a soft voice from afar.
"Mommy"
He glance at Alex who came running to his sobbing mom. "Mommy how is Kiara? What is wrong with her? How did she suddenly faint?.... Mommy.." Alex asked endless questions, evidently that was worried about his sister.
"We are still waiting for the doctor" William answered.
Amelia hugged Alex so tight still sobbing and said "Honey this is the signed. I'm running out of time"
"Mom what are you talking about?" He asked curiously. What was his mom talking about and why does she cry so much. "Mom Kiara will be fine soon" he comforted.
"I have to find that man honey. I have to " she stood up and pat Alex head before talking step to the elevator.
As she was waiting for the elevator to open then doctor came out of Akira's ward. "Miss Akira's parents?" And she heard to doctor ask and she turned quickly and approach them.
"Im her mom doc" she declared.
The doctor nod and turn to William and he gesture him to speak and he nod again checking the file once more. "Ma'am, miss Smith is suffuring from acrophobia: fear of heights. It's a good thing you brought her in time, she would have slipped into coma"
While listening to the doctor Amelia felt bad for failing to notice her child when she's sick. 'I'm a bad parent how can I not know that my baby girl is acrophobia? How can I neglect such matters as a mother' she kept blaming her for Akira's condition.
"... I will keep her for a weekend to run some test. You can see her" the doctor said and left them.
Amelia open the down slow and walk close to her. She was so pale and small. She sat on the edge of the bed and took Akira's hand into hers and start sobbing again. On the other hand William and Alex took slow step forward seem reluctant to come closer.
"Baby this day was supposed to be our family's best day ever. Has mommy ever made a promise and fail to keep it? Didn't mommy promise to find your... dad?"
Tears kept coming out of her eyes. William pat her shoulders lightly comforting her. He wondered why was she looking for someone who left her. 'She is beautiful and has a stable job, why look for a man? Was her children lacking fatherly love? Money? I doubt its money' he asked himself.
Akira open her eyes slowly in confusion where she was. Wasn't she supposed to be riding a rollercoaster? She thought and realisation hit her. Yes she fainted at while riding but where is uncle Luke. Her eyes scanned the room and met with her mother, brother and a man she had never met.
"Mommy, mommy where is uncle Luke?" First words that came from her was her uncle she was with him. When she didn't see him, her eyes widen in horror. 'Did something happen to him too?' she thought.
"Yes, Luke... Luke" Amelia realised that she haven't seen him since Alex came.
She turned to Alex and was about to ask him when William answered the unspoken words
"He is at the lobby" he answered with a straight face.
Why would his supposed to be family asking about other men in his presence? The mere thought angered him 'but why am I getting railed up for? its not like they know me'
'But Luke was too relaxed with his 'supposed to be family' for his own good. He needs to be taught a lesson to take his job serious'
"Can I see him mommy?"
Akira's words bought him back from his thoughts only to anger him more.
