Fixed Married to the Arrogant CEO

Chapter 8

Amethyst's POV

My phone rang and I took it out from my purse.

I saw that it was Celine so I answered it immediately.

"Hey, what's---" I was about to say but got cut off.

"Amy, we're on our way to the hospital right now. Ara she...she just suddenly fainted in the bathroom. I don't know what happened"

It was as if my whole world came into a halt.

Amara...

"Amy, I'm so sorry. I really don't know what happened"

I snapped back into reality.

"Send me the name and location of the hospital you're going to. I'll be on the way" I said as I made my way through the people in the room.

"Okay"

I hang up and Celine sent me the name and location of the hospital.

I got out from the crowd of people and made my way to the exit.

But then someone suddenly came in my way.

"There you are" the man said.

It was the same man who caught me earlier.

"Where are you running off to?" he said as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Move" I said sternly.

The man tilted his head to the side as he looked at me curiously.

"You've ran away from me twice already. I'm not letting you do it again" he said and with a smirk.

I saw red.

I made my way to him as I pushed him to a wall.

"I said get the fck out of my way" I said pissed.

Then, I walked out of the doors and made my way outside.

I removed my mask and it fell to the ground as it slipped from my trembling hands.

I didn't bother to pick it up.

I almost ran as I called for a cab and got in.

I told the driver the hospital name and told him to drive faster.

I clenched on my gown as I anxiously looked out of the window.

Amara, please.

After a few minutes, we reached that hospital and I quickly paid the cab driver.

I didn't bother get my change and just got out and sprinted inside the hospital building while still wearing my gown and heels.

Everyone looked at me as I passed by them but I didn't care.

I went straight to the front desk.

The lady there looked at me in surprise.

"A woman named Amara Beatriz Wright was brought here earlier. I need to know where she is. Please" I said desperately.

The lady immediately looked at her records.

"Oh yes. She's inside there being treated" the lady said and pointed somewhere.

"Okay, thank you" I said and rushed to the direction she pointed at.

I searched frantically for Ara and then, I saw Celine.

She turned her head and saw me.

I made my way to her.

Then, I saw Ara in the hospital bed while a doctor checked on her.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked worried.

"We just finished taking some tests, miss. What's your relationship with the patient?" tge doctor asked.

"I'm her older sister" I said.

"Is there anything we need to know to figure out what might be wrong with your sister?" the doctor asked carefully.

I gulped as I clenched my fists.

"She...she's pregnant" I said.

I saw the shocked expression on Celine's face from my peripheral vision.

"Okay. Do you know how far along she is?" the doctor asked as she took down notes.

I shook my head.

"No. She hasn't told me yet" I said and the doctor nodded.

"She's stable for now although she's unconscious. I'll get back to you when we get her test results back" the doctor said and I nodded.

The doctor left and I sat beside Ara as I held her hand.

I sighed.

Oh, Amara.

I turned to look at Celine as she stared at my sister's unconscious form.

"Ara's pregnant?" she asked in a low voice anf looked at me.

I nodded as I looked at Ara.

"But how?" she said in shock.

"I don't know. She hasn't told me any specifics. I only found out that she's pregnant because I saw her pregnancy tests" I said.

"Since when did you know?" Celine asked further.

"When we got home from the airport. I was fixing her luggage. Then, I accidentally found the tests" I told her.

Celine still looked in shock.

"Who do you think is the father?" Celine blurted out.

I shrugged.

"I really don't know. She hasn't told me anything yet about how she got pregnant" I said.

Celine sighed as she sat on the chair beside the bed.

Then, she looked at me up and down.

"Cinderella looks good in green, I think" she kid.

I rolled my eyes at her and we both chuckled.

"I'll get you some clothes to change into" she said and stood up.

"Thank you" I said with a small smile.

Celine gave me a nod and left.

I got my phone and sent a text to miss Katrina to let her know that I already left because of an emergency.

I wouldn't want her to look for me all over the place.

I sighed as I looked at Ara.

I'll need to call Ady for this one.

That's just what I did.

I dialed Adrian's number and he picked up almost immediately.

"Hey"

I gulped.

"Hey" I greeted nervously.

"Is everything okay? You don't sound very good"

I bit my lower lip.

"We're in the hospital. Ara and I" I said with a sigh.

"What? Why? What happened? Are you guys okay?"

I glanced at Ara.

"I am and Ara is stable based on the doctor. She's unconscious right now and we're waiting for her tests to come out" I told.

"What happened?"

"I was in a sponsors' party when my bestfriend Celine called me. She said that Ara suddenly fainted in the bathroom so she rushed her to the hospital" I said.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said she'll get back to us when the tests are out" I told him.

I heard Ady sigh from the other line.

"I'll book a flight to go there by tomorrow"

I sighed.

"Okay" I agreed.

"Update me from time to time"

"I will. I'll see you when you get here" I said.

"Take care. I'll see you soon"

We ended the call.

I looked at Ara.

"I'm sorry, Ara. I think you'll have to tell us everything even when you're not ready yet" I said as I caressed her hand.

Then, the doctor came and I stood up.

"Miss, we have your sister's test results now. According to the tests, she's in her 8th week. Fortunately, the baby is safe. Your sister must have been very stressed lately. High levels of stress that continue for a long time may cause health problems, like high blood pressure and heart disease. During pregnancy, stress can increase the chances of having a premature baby. I highly recommend to keep your sister away from a stressful environment" the doctor said.

I looked at Ara and then nodded at the doctor.

"I'll keep that in mind, doctor. Thank you" I said.

"I'll also have our gynecologist to prescribe some medication for your sister to keep her and the baby healthy" the doctor said and I gave her a thankful smile.

The doctor left and I slump down on Ara's hospital bed.

Amara seemed fine at home but I guess she was just keeping a front.

I'm sure she suffered even more amount stress when she was at my parents.

"Amy?"

I lifted my head up and saw Ara awake.

"Hey" I said softly as I held her hand.

"What happened? Where am I?" she asked.

"You suddenly fainted in the bathroom. You're in the hospital, Ara" I told her.

Amara's eyes widened as she reached for her stomach.

"My baby. Is my baby okay?" she asked in panic.

I nodded as I cupped her face.

"The baby is fine, Ara. Your baby is fine. Calm down" I said as I tried to calm her down.

Ara sighed in relief as teared up.

I hugged her and she started crying on my shoulders.

"Shhhh. It's fine. It's okay. I'm here. You're okay. The baby is okay" I assured her.

Ara's hold on me tightened.

After a while of crying, she ended up falling asleep.

Celine came back with some clothes and I immediately changed into them.

The doctor prescribed some medicine for Ara and I signed some papers for her to be released since the doctor said that she's safe to go home and it'd be better for her to be at a more comfortable place.

We got into Celine's car and made our way back to my apartment.

Ara stared at the car window the whole time.

She was in her own little bubble and I didn't dare bother her.

"Thanks, Celine" I said and gave my bestfriend a hug.

"Anytime" she said and smiled at me.

Celine gave Amara a kiss then left.

We went inside my apartment complex and silently went to my unit.

"Ara" I called my sister softly.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Can we talk?" I asked her carefully.

Amara nodded.

We went in the living room and sat on the couch together.

I reached for her hand and held it in mine.

"Do you trust me?" I asked her as I looked into her eyes.

She nodded.

"Of course" she said.

I smiled.

"I...I called Ady since he needed to know that we were in the hospital and I only told him how you fainted but nothing else" I started.

Ara looked at me as she listened.

"Amara, Adrian is coming here tomorrow. He'll demand for answers. I understand that you're not ready to tell me yet but if Ady finds out, he won't stop until you tell him everything" I said as I caressed her hand soothingly.

Amara gulped.

"If you want me to help you, you need to tell me, okay?" I said and she nodded as she bit her lower lip.

"Okay. I'll tell you" she said.

I gave her an encouraging smile as I slightly squeezed her hand.

"It was the day of our high school reunion. I attended the after party with my friends. I...I got drunk" she started as she teared up.

"I...met the guy that I liked in the party. We started to hit it off. The next thing I know, we we're already in a room together and we...did it" she said as she looked away.

"I wasn't in full control of myself but I can't say that I didn't want it to happen either. I regret it but I can't really change anything now" she said as a tear fell from her eyes.

"When I woke up in the morning, he was already gone. I brushed it all off and just tried to forget about it" she continued.

"But then a few weeks later, I started getting morning sickness and weird cravings and everything that a pregnant woman can experience" she said.

"So I took a pregnancy test and it turned out positive" she said as she looked at me.

"I was afraid that mom and da would find out so I immediately packed my bags and booked a flight to you" she told me.

"I'm sorry" she said as she cried.

I pulled her for a hug as I caressed her hair.

So this is Amara's story.
