The Billionaire's Runaway Bride

Chapter 7

   "Honey here, it's time for you to shower and go to bed," I called to Daniel.  "Mommy, let me finish this level, I'll be with you soon."

  "No honey, mommy is going to work tomorrow, I have to get up on time, come on, I'll carry you to the bathroom."  After putting Daniel to bed, I quickly took a shower and headed straight to my room. I was about to sleep when I heard my phone ring, I thought who it was at that hour.  I went straight to where the sound was coming from, picked up the phone from the table, it was an unknown number, I connected the call.

  "Hi, this is Asher, may I know who I'm talking to?"

  "Hey Asher, this is Ethan I" ... "You bastard! Why are you calling me right now, are you not fed up with ruining my life, what do you want from me?"

  "Asher take it easy"

  ''Don't tell me to calm down, I'm ending this call now, and don't bother calling me,'' I yelled on the phone, was about to drop the call when I heard what Ethan let out.  "It's Danniella, Asher"

  "What did you say!? What happened to my daughter?"

  "She has a high fever, she's calling out for you, she needs you, Asher."  I didn't wait for him to finish, I hung up and ran to Daniel's room.  I picked Danny and drove to Ethan's house in my brand new G-wagon.

  Arriving at Ethan's apartment, I ran to where he was sitting.  "Take me to my daughter!"

  "The doctor is with her now, it will be a while before you see her, calm down Asher."

  "Don't even mention it, one more day hasn't passed and she got sick, are you planning on looking after my baby this way?"

  "Richard take Daniel upstairs!"

  '' Yes sir, young master please come with me''

  '' What's wrong with you Asher, why are you blaming me?  The doctor didn't say what's wrong with Danniella, and you're blaming me".

  "Mr. Woods, the young lady suffered from food poisoning, is she allergic to anything?"  The doctor interrogated, "Yes, she is allergic to soy sauce and seafood." I replied, "Has she eaten any of this lately?" The doctor inquired

  "Uhm ... doctor, I think I added some soy sauce to the dish I gave her," Ethan mumbled, looking at me.  I was already burning with rage.  ''Avoid such mistakes, it can lead to dehydration.  This is the medicine she will need,” the doctor explained.

  "How's the fever?  Is she okay now?'' I implored, "yes, she's okay, you can see her now, but be careful not to wake her up.  I will go now''.  He announced.  "Let me walk you back," Ethan asserted walking to the doctor.

  I climbed upstairs looking for a room my daughter will probably be in but can't find it, the house is so big. Are you looking for Miss Danniella?'' The PA queried me.  "Yes, take me to her room," I demanded.

  We walked down a long corridor to a large wooden door.  He pushed the door open, I walked in looking at my daughter's pale face, I couldn't help but cry.  "Honey, look at what your father caused, it has not been another day and you are sick.  It's also my fault I shouldn't have left you here with your father, but don't worry, I'm here, now I'll take care of you. "  I whispered to my sleeping daughter before I wiped my tears away.

  I felt a presence in the room, I turned and saw it was Ethan.  I jumped out of bed, walked over to him, and slapped him.  ''What are you doing here?  Is it not enough for you that my daughter is sick?  Get out of here now! "

  "What's the matter with you, Asher? Why do you blame me for your infidelity?  You left me your child, knowing that I knew nothing about children, I was just trying to know my daughter.  You are not qualified to be a mother.  It's all your fault.'' He let out before leaving the room.  Yes, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have left you here with your father, I whispered crying.  I cried until I fell asleep on the sofa.

               ** ETHAN'S P.O.V.   **

  I was drinking water downstairs when I heard a sound coming from my daughter's room, I dropped my glass of water and went upstairs to see Daniella filled with heat and calling for her mother.  I ran over to her and felt her forehead, "it's a fever," I mumbled.  I invited the doctor to my house and decided to call Asher, don't ask me where I got her number from as my PA is good at getting things done at that.

  I called Asher's phone, it rang without picking.  I was already impatient when I heard her melodious voice.  "Hi, this is Asher, who am I talking to?"  she inquired.  I started introducing myself, didn't even talk much when she started to throw tantrums like a child, this lady is a drama queen, I told myself, taking the phone out of my ear before I lose my hearing to her screams.  "It's Danniella," I said when I heard her threatening to disconnect the call.  She's sick and she needs you. I told her before I heard the beep sound, I sighed.

  I was sitting in the living room when I saw Asher striding up to me with her son in her arms, her eyes full of red shots, she must have been crying, I thought.  She asked me to take her to Ella, but I told her the doctors were still with her, she could not see her now.  She started to get angry, blaming me for our daughters' troubles, I tried to reason with her, but we ended up screaming at each other.

  The doctor told us that Ella was suffering from food poisoning, maybe she ate something she is allergic to.  I walk the doctor back after receiving medicine and Ella's health instructions.

  I went to Ella's room to see how she was doing but met Asher slapping me and blaming me.  I grabbed her and pushed her against the wall and covered the space between us, told her what I want, and pushed her hand away before leaving.
