Chapter 125
Antonio arrived in the city he was told about in three hours. After Tina's call, he had to take his fastest jet and arrive as quickly as possible. He couldn't understand why she was suddenly admitted to a hospital. This trip is meant to be her resting trip, she was meant to have fun.
Stepping into the hospital with eager steps almost running, "I'm here for Mrs. Bella Willan." That's her name now since they were going to get married anytime soon. He had startled the receptionist and a few nurses around even bringing his guards to bully them a bit just in case they delay him.
"S... She's this way, sir." A nurse at the reception hurriedly took him to her ward. Antonio was only calm when he saw her sleeping peacefully, her skin had turned paler than usual. She looked like a living corpse after just a few days of staying far from his reach. His gaze turned to the girl at a corner, she's the one he always saw with his wife to be with, she must be the one that must have called him. "You called me didn't you, what happened to her?" He asked reaching for the woman on the bed.
He held her hands in his kissing them multiple times, "I think that conversation is between the both of you, I don't have a say in that." Tina responded keeping a distance from the couple. From the way he held her tenderly, she could already see how much he loved her, her friend was indeed lucky. Who knew THEE ANTONIO WILLAN, had this soft side?
The man is only known as a tough businessman in their city. A man who commanded power. Earlier, their city's ferocious tiger looked like a lost wet puppy searching for its owner. Bella really has tamed him down, but how did she do it?
When his kisses reached her face, Tina knew it was her cue to leave. Bella's lashes trembled and her body shook from his touch. She blinked many times to get adjusted to the light in the room before fully opening it. "A... Antonio." She stuttered as her body vibrated more in his arms, "It's me." He said removing a few strands of hair from her face, still planting his kisses all over her face as he extended it to her neck.
How she's longed for this feeling, his touch, she missed it more than ever. "What are you doing here?" Her words came as almost a whisper and her hands searched for his face.
"Sleep some more I'll wait till your strength is back, then we'll talk as much as you want." He said kissing her palm on his face as he placed it by her side. He wondered what must have happened to her, he wondered why his wife looked so thin from before in just a short time. There were just so many questions running through his head and he wanted answers. He hates being in the dark especially when it comes to the woman he loves.
The woman he's in love with. He stepped out of her ward after successfully putting her to sleep in search of her friend who was just here a few minutes ago. He knew she had the answers he needed, he knew she was hiding something. Yes, she wanted her friend to be the one to speak but Bella was in no condition to talk about it. He wouldn't even let her say a thing.
Just a few steps away from her ward, in the hallway he found the person he was looking for, "I need to talk to you." His voice was loud and clear for everyone around that place to hear. "I'm sorry Mr. Willan, I'm not in any position to tell you about anything." She said again not daring to look at his Intimidating face. "You'd say what I want to know, I don't give a fu** if you're in the right position to say anything or not." He demanded. "Now why the hell is my wife in such condition?" He raised his voice a bit trying to tame down his beast daring to come out.
"Shefoundoutherparent'sweren'therrealparent'sand lostit." Tina rushed her words out of fear and no one seemed to understand what she had just said. "What did you say?" He asked again. This time she decided to calm her nerves taking in deep silent breaths, she would give her friend a big thumbs up for dealing with this man. She had no idea how Bella got used to living with him.
Love they say Indeed can make you do crazy things. "She found out her parents weren't her real parents and lost it. It was found that she was abducted and didn't want you to know." "Why?" He asked confused. "You've done everything for her and this time she decided to handle things on her own," Tina said to him.
Antonio walked away without another word to her. Right now he couldn't define his feelings, was he hurt? But how can his woman think of hiding this from him? What happened to the 'we are one stuff? What happened to the 'you shouldn't hide or keep things to yourself, she always told him? He thought they've gone beyond hiding things from each other? For crying out loud he already know their relationship was like that of the princess and the pauper only that this time it's the prince and... His wife cannot be a pauper.
He stepped back into the room to see her still sleeping on the bed. So this is the city this beautiful woman grew up in, he smiled. Well if she didn't want to seem like she was extorting him she would have said so. He could pay her for taking good care of his children or just being by his side. That way, she wouldn't be a liability anymore. He sat next to her staring quietly at her.
Sometimes he wonders what goes through her head and mind, how can his woman willingly suffer cause she doesn't want his help. Who else will help her if he doesn't? He brought out his phone and dialed a number, "Get my daughters into a jet and bring them over." He instructed.
.
"What do you mean she's heavily guarded?" Vivian spoke furiously pacing around her room and only sat down when her husband stepped in. He said he wouldn't help her, then she would do anything as a good mother too to help her daughter.
She felt like strangling these men on a call with her. "We're so sorry ma'am, but it seems Mr. Willan got there before us, it seems like he got the information about her before we did." He said.
Vivian didn't know what else to do, time was something they didn't have so they have to take action before it was too late. She thought of something else quickly before settling down a bit and then she ended the call. It was time she carries matters into her hands.
Vivian picked up her phone again and dialed the chief of police's number. "Hello, officer I want to report a case of stolen identity and defamation of character." She said through gritted teeth. "I hope you're not planning on arresting Antonio Willan's wife, don't create more troubles for us." She rolled her eyes at his words.
What does he know other than going to work in the morning and returning at night? "Roseline's daughter just gave birth, her baby's welcoming party is in a month, she sent a card over. Create time for that cause we won't be missing that party." She said before laying on the bed.
She had better things to do the next day, talking to the chief of police and making plans for that stupid girl's arrest. She knew Antonio is only attracted to her cause she looks like Lilo and she was pregnant. As long as his mother is with her, that Bella girl is really over.
.
.
A few hours has passed since when Bella started sleeping, from her breathing he could already tell she was relaxed and already feeling better now. He made sure the girls sat quietly waiting patiently with gifts in their hands for their new G*dsent mummy to wake up. Jojo was in a little pink dress and Jasmine was in a blue dress.
Their round eyes blinked starting at their savior on the bed. The doctors stepped in after a few minutes of their former visit to come to check on their very important patient according to Antonio. He instructed them to come to check her after every thirty minutes of their last checkup routine. They've never met a man this disturbing In their life, they weren't the ones who made her sick yet he has chosen to torment their stay in the hospital.
"She's fine sir and ready to leave. We should discharge her once she wakes up." The doctor said the listing count of how many times he has said this word. Infact after today, he will never say such words ever again.
