When he drove into the hospital, the nurses came with a stretcher. Richard had placed Arianna in a recovery position in his car the entire way to the hospital and Genesis couldn't stop herself from sobbing. Arianna was placed on the stretcher. It seemed like she was lifeless. There are no signs of breath in her. Her lips and fingers have a bluish tinge and her skin was cold. She was breathing, at least that is what Genesis could conclude. "She's in a coma already. She doesn't have much time left, take her to the intensive care unit.."Richard was dishing out instructions and the nurses immediately went into action. Richard removed his suit and shoved it into Genesis arms. He went after the stretcher Arianna was on and was saying "Set the dialysis machine and get a respirator handy…" Richard was saying when Arianna was wheeled into the Intensive care unit and the door shut. Genesis stayed out and started sobbing. "Oh Aria, what have you done to yourself?" She was sobb
Richard exchanged glances with Genesis and the latter shook her head in disapproval. Arianna has no family who is interested in being by her side in times like this. "I just told you she's more of a family to me. Do you still have to ask after some other relative?" Richard asked and the nurse apologised. When the nurse stepped out, Richard asked "You know her family, right?" Glancing at Genesis. He really doesn't know much about Arianna except that he was attracted to her and seemed as if her well being is his responsibility. He doesn't know why, but from the moment he sets his eyes on her in X-City, he has this pull towards her that he cannot explain. There's something about her that he's yet to find out. "Yes, I do. But she'd not be in close contact with them for years. Her mom is dead and her father is glued to his wife and daughter that Arianna appears like an intruder to them" Genesis explained. "Invariably, she doesn't have anyone besides herself and her
At that moment, Jace Hudson was stepping his feet into the vast compound of the Hudson's family house. He had told his parents that he was coming over for dinner. He had told his parents over the phone that he was not ready for any arranged marriage or blind date they were trying to shove down his throat. But to make everything clear, he would come over for dinner and express his disapproval of it. They shouldn't give the poor lady and her family a false hope. He was dressed in a plain shirt and pants exactly as his son, Eli. The boy is a spitting image of his father. Jace ensures whatever he orders henceforth, must come in his and Eli's sizes. Eli's hair cut was same as his father. As they stepped out of the car, he lifted him off the floor into his arms. Hecsaw the look of puzzle on the boy's face. "Dad, is this a palace?" Eli asked. Such a big house with plenty of men and women in uniform. There were lights everywhere and the place was glittering like a palace
She froze. She glanced at Jace with surprise on her face. Jace is the father of her grandson? How come, was he right about what he said before the Dantes the other day? Jace nodded, ignoring the questioning and surprised glances, coming from his parents. He beckoned to the servant and said "Take him to the restroom" Eli went with the servant. As soon as they were out of sight Jace said "He's my son, not Chase's" He declared. "I wish I am,I would be the happiest man on Earth" Chase declared. Thirty minutes later, the family of four were seated in the sitting room. Eli went with the servants at Amelia's order and Henry asked "Jace, how come, how did you father this son?" Henry Hudson immediately regretted why he asked the question. How else does a man father a son? What he should have asked was when did he become a father? Jace is the reserved, decent one. He least expected him to be a father while being unmarried. Chase is the promiscuous one and he had thought
It took a while before Chase returned. He looked dejected and sad when he got back to the sitting room. Jace was waiting for him to return and hear what Richard's reasons for calling him were. But didn't expect that his brother would look so down and unhappy. He glanced at him and the latter stood, gazing at him with a hostile gaze. He understood that he would be unhappy when he heard that he got a restraining order against Arianna. But he could talk to him rather than looking so sad and dejected. "Is anything the matter, Chase?" Henry asked. He saw the two brothers gazing at each other. The elder with an expressionless, poker face and the younger with a hostile one. "She's in a coma. She attempted suicide. Thanks to you for the restraining order" Chase declared and glanced at his parents, "A friend is dying, I need to see her" he said and turned around to step out. "I hope you will be able to explain this to Eli one day, if anything happens to his mother" he
Chase Hudson stood before Richard and said "I'm sorry about what Jace did. He didn't mean to put Arianna through this phase of her life…"Chase pleaded. "Why restraining her from being with her son or coming anywhere close to him? If he is Eli's father,is he also his mother? Why would he take Ariana's right away from her, because he's wealthy?" Richard snapped at him. "Please don't talk like that, Richard. I will make it right, Richard, I will make it good. I promise you" Chase Hudson pleaded. When Richard returned, he examined Arianna and said she was recovering fast. She might be awake before dawn. Genesis was glad with the news of it and she thanked Richard for his help. "Come to my lounge for a few hours and then you will come back to check on her" Richard insisted and Genesis wanted to refuse again when Richard said "You'll come along, don't say no" Jace arrived home with his son. Eli was unusually quiet. The boy placed his head on his father's torso and
In Richard's lounge, he got a dress for Genesis and told her to take a shower. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she didn't see Richard in the room. She was glad he was out as she cleaned her body and changed into another dress. She didn't come for relaxation but to keep a watch over her friend, hence she didn't put on a night dress. She made her hair into a ponytail and waited for Richard to come back. An hour passed before he eventually returned to check on her. He saw that Genesis was still awake. He chuckled and asked "aren't you asleep already? Well, I came to check on you" he said. "What about you? You should rest" Genesis gestured for him to come over but Richard said no. "I'm fine. I will have tomorrow off. I will rest however I want at home" he answered. "Fine. Wake me up after two hours" Genesis requested. Two hours later she would go and check on Arianna and then come back and lie down. "Okay. Do you need anything else?" Richard asked and Genesis
Jace Hudson read through it and placed the phone down. He stood by the window and looked outside the window. Somehow, staring out of the window seemed to instil calmness within him. Everything seemed to be tangled up like a spider web. On one hand is Arianna and the guilt that roared in his conscience like troubled water. And now, some anonymous scoundrel was threatening him. This is the second text he received that morning. One was sent to his mail and this was the second one. Whoever that scoundrel is, he or she shouldn't send him threats through his email or text message. He could come before him and do it, man to man or maybe woman to man. But now, the fellow knows that he has a son. Eli's life is in danger. He needed to call his bodyguards to keep a close eye on him. But his door opened and Chase walked in. The latter saw his brother staring out of his windows and his hands in his pants pocket. He sighed softly. He knew Jace was suffering internal
