Hospitalized

At his house, Kenneth Griffin didn't prepare dinner as he knows that Tanya would eat from where she went to.

He walked into his study and started reading files while waiting for her return.

He anticipated her return for 3 hours but when there's no sign of her, he called her phone and it was left unanswered.

Kenneth was worried as she took his muffler and rushed to his parking lot to go look for her.

Without saying, he could tell that she was in some kind of danger. He was about to unlock his car when Ryan's call came.

He ignored it and ignited the car. His call came again, but Kenneth ignored his calls as he was only concerned about Tanya at that moment.

As Kenneth stopped at the red traffic light, Ryan's text message popped into his phone and he picked it to read,

"PICK MY CALL OR NOT, YOUR WIFE IS WITH ME, COME TO CITY HOSPITAL NOW!"

Kenneth was dazed. He turned the car around and left for City hospital without much ado. He could f*e his hearth thumping dangerously as he drives crazily through the traffic.

As he drove, he could imagine a thousand things that could happen to Tanya if he was late.

He keeps mumbling to himself, 'Stay strong Tanya, I'll be there soon.'

He got to City hospital and vamoosed to the reception in frenzy, there he saw his brother talking to the doctor. When he was done, Kenneth rushed to him and punched him in the face angrily.

Ryan held his cheek as blood dripped from the corner of his lip and smirked, "Long time no see your fight little brother. You really care about her, what nice guy you are"

Kenneth's face became more colder as he heard this mean words from his brother, he grabbed his collar tightly and asked in an urgent tone "What did you do to her you jerk?"

Ryan wringle free from his brother's grip and replied nonchalantly, "Hey, I'm only helping you, don't take it too personal, must you always fight with me?"

Kenneth was infuriated at this sentence again and punched his face again, "If anything happen to Tanya, then I promise that I'll kill you and feed your body to the beasts"

"I will love to see you try but unfortunately, nothing happened to her and even if anything happens, it's not my fault, so watch your tongue" Ryan said.

A nurse walked up to them and asked, "Who is Miss Tanya's guardian?"

Kenneth rushed forward, "Yes nurse you can't talk to me, she's my wife"

The nurse nodded and was about to continue when Ryan dragged his brother back, "Hey, is this how your hospital works? He just popped here all of a sudden and you believed him?" He quipped at the nurse.

The innocent nurse now looked confused, "Who is her guardian then?"

Ryan beat his chest with pride, "I brought her here so you can talk to me"

The nurse shrugged, "Well, she just fell asleep and we have diagnosed her. She was allergic to seafoods and was also drunk at the same time, she....."

"Wait, how did she come about seafood allergy?" Kenneth was surprised. As far as he could remember, the Tanya Lewiston he had always known has never displayed any allergic reaction.

"You just said she's your wife yet you don't know about he allergy?" The nurse asked.

Kenneth didn't reply he wondered how come he didn't know about it.

The nurse handed out a paper which Ryan snapped from her, "Get those drugs at the pharmacy upstairs and prepare hangover soup upon her awakening"

The two brothers jeered at each other be left in different directions.

After some hours, Ryan and Kenneth came back almost thesame time and by this time, she was awake but still had rashes all over her body.

Kenneth was very concerned as he rushed to her bedside immediately, "Are you fine?"

Tanya smiled feverishly, "Yes, I'm fine, I'm sorry Ken, I shouldn't have disobeyed you"

Kenneth patted her hair gently, "No Tanya, I should have followed you there. I'm sorry"

"When we got to the hotpot restaurant, I know there were seafoods there but I don't plan on eating it. I don't know how I mistakenly eat when I'm drunk. You're right Ken, I shouldn't have go"

Kenneth patted her lovingly, "Don't remember such things for now, focus on your recovery and return to work"

Ryan came in with the drugs later and said to Kenneth, "Shouldn't you thank me for bringing her to the hospital?"

"As if, if you didn't bring her she'll die? Quit your fake affection brother it doesn't look good on you"

Ryan was about to reply when Tanya coughed. They rushed to the bedside immediately with concerned expression on their faces.

Before the break of the dawn, Kenneth had already called Catherine and her husband who rushed over in frenzy.

Catherine Lewiston broke into sobs as she saw her daughter lying on the bed with rashes over her body.

Kenneth bowed his head in shame while Ryan sat in a corner observing the situation.

"My daughter took after her father who was also allergic to seafoods and would get sick anytime he eats it" Catherine said.

"I'm sorry Aunt, I should have been more careful" Kenneth said remorsefully.

Catherine patted his back with a smile, "No son, I should tell you sorry because I am too happy that my daughter got married so much that I don't remember to tell you her weakness"

There was a long moment of silence in the hospital room for a long time before Tanya woke up.

Her mother was very emotional and teary the moment she saw her daughter in that sorry state. She patted her head gently,

"I'm sorry baby, I should have told your husband that you have an allergy"

Tanya hugged her mother back as she sobbed in her arms. Ryan later left the ward with a smirk.
