Awake.
FRED’S POV
Angrily driving down from the office at full pace, I wasn’t even concentrating as my mind was still on my father’s words.
How can he threaten to give my cousin Brother the company I’ve been in?
I was driving very fast. I wasn’t driving home but to my hideout which was at the boundary of the city and the road there was usually empty.
But unfortunately, not like I guessed, the road wasn’t that clear. There was a Petite figure trying to cross over to the other side of the road and I was so close to her I held the break hoping I wouldn’t get close to her but unfortunately I hit her and she fell down.
I rushed out to see who it was and how I could help and then the person I least expected.
It was Rayne, how did she get here and why was she on this path.
Without hesitating I picked her up. I wanted to take her to the hospital but still wanted her to be with me so I took her to my hideout. My personal doctor was there so he could treat her.
I drove into the mansion and parked my car. I hurriedly alighted from the car and opened the back door. I carried Rayne in a bridal style.
“Call the doctor.” I said sternly to one of the guard’s standing by.
“Yes sir.” he replied and walked off .
I took her straight to the Medical room.
It was a room I designed in the way of a patient’s ward.
Instead of going to the hospital my Person doctor could do the treatment in the house.
I dropped her gently on the bed.
The doctor walked in and I moved aside for him to commence treatment.
He checked her pulse.
“Her pulse is very weak.” he informed me.
“Do something.” I replied to him.
“Sir you’ll have to excuse me so I can focus more on saving the lady.” He said and I walked out.
I walked up to my room and took my clothes off.
I was panicking. I didn’t know why, Rayne’s clothes were dripping blood. I hope she isn’t badly injured.
I took off my clothes and got into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
After a few minutes I was done bathing and I got dressed in my Pajamas.
I wanted to go back to check on Rayne but I also wanted her to have some rest.
I laid down in the bed finding it difficult to sleep
Was Rayne really making me this nervous?” I thought
My phone beeped and I looked up to see who texted.
It was Sarah’s text.
“We need to talk.” the text read.
I ignored the text but she sent another text almost immediately that I couldn’t ignore.
“I think Rayne is pregnant, and she’s hiding it from everyone including Eric.” The second text readed.
I couldn’t ignore the last text, so I got into a sitting position to reply to her.
“How did you know about this?” I texted her waiting for her reply.
“That’s why we have to meet tomorrow.” she simply replied.
I didn’t text her again, I ignored the text and went back to sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
I got up early, the night wasn’t friendly as I found it hard to sleep.
I got up to do my morning routine exercise.
I picked up my phone to check if any messages cane i and I saw Sarah’s message.
“Meet me at the cafeteria by 1am.” the message read.
I dropped the phone and continued with my morning routine. I kept myself busy for an hour doing my morning exercise.
I was done exercising my body so u proceeded to the bathroom to have a quick bath and get ready for work.
I was done bathing. After a few minutes I came out of the bathroom and got into the closet to get dressed.
I walked out fully dressed. I picked up my phone and briefcase heading towards the medical ward to see Rayne.
“Good morning sir.” The doctor greeted me as I approached.
“How is she doing?” I asked, ignoring his greeting.
“I think she has gone into Coma.” he replied.
My eyes widened at his words and I walked in with him into the ward to see her.
Her clothes were already changed. I hope he wasn’t the one that changed the clothes and just like he was reading my mind he said.
“I asked one of the maids to clean her up, she had a miscarriage due to the force of the car that hit her, and also she has gone into Coma ” he explained.
A miscarriage?, so Sarah was right afterwards.
And did he just say go into Coma?”
I turned to look at him.
“What do you mean she has gone into Coma, are you a duck?” I asked him angrily.
“This is due to shock and the force from the car that had hit her, her mind is very much awake but her body seems dead.” he said.
“We should just hope in God, I believe this isn’t a serious case. She might be awake anytime soon,” he added.
“How long would it take her to be conscious again?” I asked curiously.
“I must say I’m not in the position to say that, you can’t detect how long she would be in Coma, it could be days, weeks, months or years.” he replied to me.
I sighed as I looked at how pale she had become pale in the hospital gown.
She looks thinner and her skin is so pale.
I walked out without another word. I got into my car heading straight for my office, not bothering about Sarah’s words.
One way I was happy she lost the baby, on the other hand I was sad she went into Coma and everything was my fault if only I had driven more carefully.
But I couldn’t stop thinking about how she ended up in that place, what did Eric do to her that made her run out in the rain.
