My Ruthless Innocent Billionaire

PLEASE BABY STAY WITH MOM

Cynthia’s P.O.V.

My heartache badly when I saw her lying all shattered and almost lifeless. I cried so hard that I fainted for some time. I woke up again and saw Ryan’s wife beside me with a worried face.

“Are you okay Mrs. Williams?”, she asked me with a worried tone and offered me a glass of water.

I took the glass from her and gulped down the whole water at once. My throat was aching due to heavy crying. I nodded my head and thanked her.

“Please call me Cynthia and thank you for your help”, I thanked her in my choked voice.

“Please Mrs. Williams.. don’t say this. Mr. Carter always treats us like a family and it’s our turn to show our gratitude towards him”, she said and smiled at me.

I smiled back. She was really a caring lady. Her name was Nancy. She was in her late thirties. She was a nurse by occupation. And she really knew about her work

We both went back to Anaira. I assessed her whole body for injuries and staggered back a few steps. Her whole body had bruises, cut marks, some old injuries marks, and some new ones. I put my both hands on my mouth to block my voice and tears started flowing down again.

I felt a squeeze on my shoulder and looked back.

“She needs intensive care Ma’am. Her vitals are not good. Her blood pressure is shooting up and dropping down subsequently. It seems that she has gone through grave traumatically conditions. We need to shift her immediately to ICU. Please see if you can do this without getting in the notice of anyone.”, she explained Anaira’s condition and pleaded.

My mind was numb. Whoever was behind her k********g and her suffering must know everything about us. That was the only logical reason I could see that he or she succeeded in keeping her hide from the whole world. I tried to recall all my resources that could help me this time and suddenly a name popped up in my mind. Yeah.. he will help me.

I immediately picked up my phone and searched through my contact list. My eyes lit up in hope when I saw his name still on my contact list.

I immediately dialed his number. He was the best friend of my husband. He and my husband was THE childhood friend. They were together on that day also. He managed to survive that accident but failed to save my husband. I blamed him for his death and severe all tie-ups with him.

“Halo… Cynthia???? Is that you?”, I heard his voice and tears started following down again. He still had my number.

“Austin… I… I need help… please… please… help … me”, I said between my sobs.

“Cynthia…. What happened… tell me… where are you… I am coming over there…”, he said in a panicked voice.

“Anaira…. She… she… needs … immediate ICU hospitalization… but someone is trying to kill her… so..”, I was not able to say anything more and started crying loudly.

“What????????”, he yelled in shock.

“Yeah… Austin… her condition is not stable… i… i… we need to hide her hospitalization.. please … please … help me”, I pleaded while my sobbing. We were closed before. He was like a brother to me and he was the Godfather of Anaira. In anger that he saved himself, I broke all the ties but still, I missed him.

“Text me the address where you are right now, I am coming over there with ambulance”, he said and we hung up.

Suddenly, Anaira’s body started shuddering hard. We both ran towards her and held her body stiffly. She was having fits.

“Anaira… baby… hold on yourself please”, I tried to talk with her. I was a qualified doctor but right now I was just acting like a worried mother. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Nancy ran towards the door.

“I brought what you asked but why did you need these medicines… hey… tell me Nancy.. what happened”, I heard someone asking Nancy some questions.

She coming back running with a bag that had meds and injections. A man came behind her and her eyes widened to see Anaira who was still shuddering hard and I was holding her hard.

“Derek help us. She is family. We need to inject her otherwise she will collapse”, Nancy requested that man Derek and he instantly came out from his shock and almost ran towards me.

“Ma’am… I am going to sedate her. I think it’s better to keep her calm this time”, Nancy said to me and I nodded in agreement.

I and Derek were holding Anaira while Nancy prepared injections and inject her in her arms immediately. She didn’t ask me as she knew that I would not be able to do this.

But, before the injection starts working, Anaira’s breathing became shallower. I immediately checked her pulse. It was dipping.

“We are losing her”, I said and immediately started giving CPR to her.  

I started pumping her heart. “Come on baby… stay with me”, I said to her while counting.

I again checked her pulse and breathing rate. Then I started the procedure again.

“Nancy… put multivitamin in IV immediately”, I instructed Nancy and she immediately started working.

I again checked her pulse, it was still not stable. My heart was beating so hard that I could my heart-pumping sound.

I started pumping her chest again. “Austin… hurry up”, I whispered. I was praying for his early arrival. I didn’t know where he lived in the city.

“Nancy.. call Alex… we need to tell him that we are shifting her in the hospital”, I said to Nancy and she dialed his number.

He answered the call and I told him.

Alex we need to shift her immediately. She is sinking.”, I said hurriedly. I tried to mask my fear but failed bitterly.

He said nothing and it made me worry more. Derek was now infusing her with IV drip and tilted her head a little bit upward to give a clear path to her windpipe.

 “Alex.. are you listening to me…”, I almost shout. His silence was now killing me. I didn’t have any idea about my granddaughter.

“Yeah… I am here”, he said in a faint voice. I understood his conditions. He just found both and was now on the brick of losing them.

“I have talked to one of my old colleague. I am shifting her to hospital in his supervision.”, I told him. I couldn’t tell him about Austin right now as Anaira hate him so much.

“Mom.. just be careful. Don’t go with her. Send Ryan’s wife instead. I don’t know who is behind her k********g. So need to be careful”, he requested me and I nodded in agreement. Her kidnappers would have known about their escape by now and might be possible that they had started searching for them.

“Where are you now”, I asked him.

“I am also in the hospital with my daughter. She was having a problem while breathing. So we admitted her to the hospital”, he told me everything from her rescue till hospitalization and I started crying again. My heart was aching bitterly due to all those suffering they both bear till now.

 “What is happening Alex? Why did they suffer so much?”, I asked him in a choked voice. I was not able to keep my emotions down.

“I know nothing Mom. I just know one thing that I need to protect them now at any cost”, he said with determination.

I was about to say something when he cut me off.  “I gotta go Mom. Inform me when you reached at the hospital. We both need to take care of our daughters”, he said and cut the call.

I stared at my phone for a few seconds when Nancy shook me from my shoulders.

“Ma’am, this is the time to act wisely. You are a successful doctor that your daughter needs now. So, think like a doctor not like a mother right now”, she tried to comfort me.

Suddenly the doorbell rang again and I almost ran towards the door. It must be Austin.
