Chapter Nine

Jayden's pov

"Why isn't he picking up?!" I muttered angrily, tossing my phone onto the seat next to me without a second thought as I sped toward one of the top hospitals in the city.

Zayn had called earlier, telling me that my sister, Ariana, had been in a car accident and was now in the hospital. That was why I had left the club in such a hurry.

When I arrived, I rushed inside and spotted Zayn sitting in the waiting room.

"Where is she? And why haven't you been answering my calls?" I snapped, my voice filled with urgency.

He explained that in the rush to get to the hospital, he had left his phone in his car.

But I didn’t really care about that anymore—what mattered was that I was here now.

"Where is she?" I asked him again.

After Zayn told me which ward she was in, I rushed off, with him trailing behind.

"Oh my God!" My heart shattered at the sight in front of me as I stepped inside.

Ariana lay completely still on the bed. Her once healthy, glowing skin had turned pale and bruised.
