Chapter 3: A massive problem
1077 Words
Third person's POV
Aiden's driver, Jaden raised an eyebrow, surprised by the sudden change in plans, but didn't hesitate to follow the bodyguard's car to the hospital.
Aiden's heart was racing, trying to make sense of the strange sensations he was feeling, he couldn't explain it, but he felt an inexplicable connection to the pregnant woman.
He made a mental note to call Eric, Eric was a renowned doctor and the best in the whole of New York.
"hey man, what's brewing" Came Eric's voice from the other end.
"Eric, hospital," He said.
"What... ..."
"NOW !!!! "He cut him off and hung up without waiting for his response.
As they arrived at the hospital, his car was parked in the underground park; Aiden instructed his driver to wait while he went inside to check on Hazel's condition. His bodyguards trailed behind him as he walked gracefully to the private elevator, ignoring the pain in his chest, he couldn't afford to look weak in front of his subordinates. Two bodyguards, each by his side joined him in the private elevator while the remaining three took the public elevator.
He walked towards the VIP ward as soon as the elevator stopped; he knew that would be where she'd be admitted
He walked towards the ward with a stern face; the staff were shuddering; seeing him, they knew it was not a simple matter. He owns the hospital, So anyone with a lick of sense could tell that something was wrong with him; judging from his stern face, the staff were used to seeing him like this, but today, his coldness has multiplied a million times.
He spotted his bodyguard, the bodyguard named Mark, approaching him and greeting him.
"Where is she?" He demanded.
"She's being prepped for emergency surgery, sir," Mark responded.
Aiden's heart skipped a beat as he felt another pang of concern; this time, it was more intense.
Aiden ignored the pain and instructed Mark to call his assistant. Earlier, he instructed his Assistant, Lewis, to secure a contract because he couldn't focus; that was the first time he ever skipped something important; seeing that, his assistant became worried, thinking that his boss's grandparents were sick or dead.
Don't blame Lewis, Aiden is so devoted to his work that he went to work after having an accident once upon a time, his subordinates were worried, thinking something might happen to him because he refused to visit the hospital for only god knows why, he never cared because he knows his own body very well.
Well, here he is still alive and kicking, but one thing bothers him now: he hates hospitals. Everyone around him knows that very well, but here he is, in a hospital, because of a woman whom he barely knows.
'It's been long since I last felt something like this' Aiden thought.
"Sir? how are you feeling? Is it heartache? Are you feeling lonely? What happened to you, sir?
" Ah, I knew something was wrong; you looked unwell earlier; I confirmed my suspension when you asked me to secure the deal. "
"Has it come to this? is it that severe? you willingly came to the hospital !!!! "
Aiden snapped out of his thoughts the moment he noticed Lewis; Lewis kept blabbing nonsense and bombarded him with questions which are nothing but trash to Aiden's ears.
His frown deepened, but he didn't speak a word to Lewis. Meanwhile, Lewis kept blabbing, unaware of the tension in the air until Mark signaled him. Lewis raised
his head slowly, meeting his boss's gaze, he instantly froze.
Lewis knew what those eyes were conveying; he, of all people, knew how much his boss loathes noise.
' But then, come to think of it, if his boss was sick, he wouldn't be standing here, right Wait, at the front of a theater room. Heh, no way, it must be the old man, the old woman, or both. Hmm, but even if it's the old couple, they will be treated at home since the boss's best friend, Eric, is the family doctor.............. '. Lewis rummaged through his brain trying to figure out what the reason behind his boss's visit to the hospital was.
Lewis couldn't figure out what exactly the reason behind 'THE ALMIGHTY HOSPITAL HATER's visit to the hospital was after what took him like a century of cracking his brain.
He moved closer to Mark, who was beside him.
"Hey," he nudged Mark, smiling sheepishly.
Mark knows exactly Where Lewis is going, but he isn't the type to entertain anyone's nonsense because he is a bodyguard, not a pawn. Lewis was trying to extract information from him. He knew better than to entertain Lewis because, apart from the boss's best friends, Eric and Justin, Lewis is the most annoying living being on earth.
Instead of responding to Lewis's so-called greetings, he glared at him.
"Whoa, bulky, I was just saying hi. Besides, don't you get bored? I mean, you robot all day in the name of bodyguard, no smiling, no chatting, no sitting, always standing like a loyal tree that has been planted for centuries. C'mon, chill, hmm? "
"Straight to the point Mr. Stupid. "Mark glared at him again.
" Hey, you dare call me stupid? who do you think you are? hmph, nothing but an emotionless crap.... ." Lewis was getting worked up; Mark smirked. This is the exact result he wanted.
"Why get riled by the words of an emotionless crap, huh? " Amused Mark responded.
On the other hand, Aiden was getting impatient because it's almost two hours but there's still no news about the pregnant woman.
The only person that could make him go insane was the girl he accidentally slept with, or the girl with the angelic voice.
He suspected that the girl he had a one night stand with was underage, he was drunk and lonely at that time, so he couldn't see her clearly. It was the day after , when he woke up, his lonely ness actually multiplied.
So he was curious about this woman.
An hour later
The theater room bust open, revealing Eric, he was panting like someone who 's life was almost taken.He was sweating profusely.
Aiden approached him immediately.
"Aiden , we've got a massive problem." Those where the only words Eric could come up with as his brain has completely shut down due to the gravity of what's going on.
