UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 251 – 260
|•ARIEL•|
I move my fingers and slowly part my eyes. The brightness of the room makes me squint as I raise my hand to hold my head. My head hurts terribly. I’m having a terrible headache.
“Oh my God. Ariel.” I hear a familiar voice as I try to open my eyes.
“Go get the doctor.” A male voice says.
I slowly open my eyes, and they land on Sinclair. He’s sitting right next to me. Where am I? What’s this place? I look up at the white ceiling and white walls. A hospital? What happened?
I shut my eyes and try to recall what happened. An accident right on the bridge… and Gray was shot. Gray… where’s Gray?
“Where’s Gray?” I ask Sinclair.
“Calm down, Ariel. Gray’s fine. Nothing happened to him, and it’s your turn to get better too,” he says.
I can’t taste anything. My mouth is dry, and I’m thirsty.
“How long have I been out?”
“Four days.”
I nod and try to sit up. Dad holds me gently and helps me up.
“Water… I need water,” I lament.
Just then, Alexa walks in with a female doctor. She rushes to me and hugs me at once.
“Aww, birdie. Thought I lost you again,” she says.
“Can she get water?” Dad asks the doctor.
She nods and walks out.
“What happened? The car fell off the bridge, Ariel,” Alexa says.
“The Russians,” I manage to say. My voice is croaky, and I badly need water.
“Russians? The Mafia?” Dad asks.
I nod and touch the bandage on my head. “Yes,” I voice out.
“Why?”
“Same old feud with Gray and Vladimir. Gray killed Vladimir, and his brother Moskov isn’t happy. He wants Gray dead.”
“Fuck. Not again,” Dad mutters.
“Was Mom here?”
“The day it happened, yes. She was here with her husband and her daughter. How are you?”
“Not fine at all. My head aches—terribly,” I answer.
The doctor returns with a bottle of water and hands it to me.
“Thank you,” I say, uncapping it and chugging down the water. I feel better. “Thank you.”
“How are you feeling? Any pains at all?” the doctor asks as Alexa takes the bottle from my hand.
“I’m fine. Just a headache.”
“Yeah. You bled a lot. Can I have some alone time with her?” the doctor asks.
Alexa and Dad look at me, then at the doctor.
“Why?”
“I need to carry out a series of tests on her. To make sure she’s better.”
Okay, that’s quite strange.
“Ariel?” Dad asks me.
“Sure. I’ll be fine. I’ll scream if she tries to strangle me,” I say, and they laugh.
Alexa leaves first, and Dad follows. The doctor smiles at me and sits next to me. She touches my neck and sighs.
“Do you feel pain?”
“Just the head. Am I gonna be fine?” I ask her.
“You’ll be fine,” she smiles widely. “You’re a strong woman. It wasn’t really easy at all. You were supposed to miscarry because of this accident.”
What’s she talking about? Miscarry what?
“The baby’s fine too,” she says.
Wait, I don’t get it. What baby? What is she talking about?
“I’m not pregnant,” I defend.
“Yes, you are. You’re three weeks pregnant…”
