The Betrayed Luna They Want

CHAPTER NINE.

ENZO’s POV,

I have just brought the car to a sudden halt in front of the hospital when the lady who is standing away from my car collapses.

I rush out of the car and run towards her but by now she is already unconscious.

Cussing silently, I gather her up in my arms and rush towards the hospital.

I just arrived from the airport and I didn’t get a chance to go to my hotel before rushing to the hospital, apparently the patient waiting for me was getting worse.

As soon as I enter the hospital, a group of doctors rush towards them and they all look surprised seeing me with a lady in my arms, i am also surprised myself but this is not the time for that.

“Doctor Enzo” the hospital director bows lightly as he walks up to me.

“Put her on bed rest and administer some medicine for her, she passed out just now. I will come to see hee after my operation”

“Yes doctor”

With one last look at the lady who is being wheeled away, I hasten towards the elevator. Time is of the essence now and I don’t want to waste it.

I flew in from Los Angeles because a patient of mine suffered a hemorrhage in the brain despite having stage three cancer which we have been managing for a while now. She had come to Beverly Hills for a family function and ended up relapsing and I had to come over here, she couldn’t be transported back to Los Angeles.

“What is the status of the patient?” I ask as we make our way out of the elevator but before he can answer me, someone brushes past me and I can immediately feel it.

I turn to look at him and immediately I don’t like his face and he doesn’t look like he likes mine either.

“Why don’t you watch your way?” He growls while holding onto the hands of the woman he is with. For a moment, it makes me remember the lady from earlier.

“You obviously didn’t look ahead of you before walking

towards me”

“What?”

“Have a nice day”

After talking, I turn around and walk away. I don’t have the time to chit chat with a total stranger whose energy I don’t like.

“Tell me doctor smith, the status of the patient”

“Doctor Enzo, she has been in a coma for over three hours now and we have been stabilizing her condition with a high dose of epinephrine but I am afraid we can not do more. If the surgery goes bad, we might actually lose her”

I heave a sigh, I hated surgeries such as this.

“Let’s make this one quick” I say after a while before we hurry into the theater.

****

It is exactly seven hours after the operation has finally come to an end and I saunter out of the theater. I have never been more exhausted in my life than I am now.

“Doctor” the hospital director walks up to me, “i have prepared the condo at the top, you can take a shower and some rest there. Everything is new so you don’t have to worry”

“Thank you”

This is not the first time in the hospital so I know all about their hospitality and I genuinely need the rest right now.

I make to move but halt on impulse when the thought of a certain someone winds its way into my head.

“And the lady?”

“We placed her on bed rest as you ordered doctor, she is taking a rest now”

“And her family members? Did anyone call to confirm?”

“Not at all, doctor”

Another sigh escapes my lips again as I massage the space between my brows.

“I will take some rest and come to see her later, Make sure to take good care of her”

“Of course sir”

With that, I turn around and walk away feeling all eyes on me which is certainly not the first time, I am already used to everything from the people of this hospital.

****

After taking a shower, I put on a casual pair of joggers and a T-shirt which is totally my style. The director sure knows how to pick my style out.

With one last look at the mirror, I make my way out of the condo into the hospital again. I won’t be at peace until I see that lady. It is safe to say she fainted because of me.

As soon as I venture into her ward, the doctor and nurses all turn to me with a bow.

The lady on the bed looks so fragile and this is when I notice the tear marks on her face, was she crying?

For a moment, I am drawn to her in a way I have not been drawn to anyone before, everything about her intrigued me and I can not take my eyes off of her. It seems like a kind of gravitational pull which I find hard to explain.

Clearing my throat, I turn to the doctor.

“What’s the status?”

“She fainted due to stress, doctor”

“I see” I stare at her for a split second, “anything else peculiar?”

“Not at all, doctor”he immediately answers

My eyes travel down her body and I notice the ring mark on her finger. I don't know why I feel disappointed at this realization, I wasn't expecting her to be married.

“And she is a few days pregnant” he says again and I gulp, I definitely didn’t expect this.

“Has any of her family members called?”

“No doctor” one of the nurses replies, “and her phone got damaged during the fall I guess, we are unable to contact anyone.

“I see, so I guess her doctor must be in this hospital then seeing she fainted in front of it.

“Yes doctor, doctor Mandy is her doctor and we have called him, I am personally aware of that”

“When he gets here, ask if he has any of her family member’s contact information, we should let them know their daughter or wife is here and…

My statement is cut short by the slight groans of someone.

“Stop talking so loudly” the lady on the bed laments and I immediately turn to her, for a moment I am stunned as her eyes flutter open.
