Chapter 101 ~ A birth mark

ATHENA

The Loud sound of an ambulance reaches my ears as I step out of the hospital. My shift just ended and I'm beat.

It's only been a few days and I still can't get Alex's gaze out of my mind. The way he looked at Zayan when he kissed my cheek made my heart stop and I hate that even after what he's done to me he's still able to get a rise out of me.

I'm pulling out my phone when the ambulance parks and Alex steps out and my heart drops to my stomach.

Is it....

No.. God no!

I watch in slow motion as the paramedics rush out, the first thought that hits me is Nana and I can barely breathe.

Slowly, I drag my legs forward as I tune every sound out the only thing I can now hear is the blood rushing to my ears.

But I halt when Leah jumps out and then I see the small oxygen mask. The tiny limbs.

The panic painted all over Alex's face.

The doors burst open and Rayen is wheeled inside, his tiny body limp, hooked up to an oxygen tank. His skin is red and angry. His lips are slightly blue.

I feel sick.

"His airway's compromised. We need to intubate," lan barks, but there's a hesitation in his eyes as he glances toward me like he knows how badly this is affecting me.

"Get the three of them out of here!" He barks the orders and before we know what's going on, doors are being shut in our faces although no one dares to touch Alex, his anger is enough to keep one at a distance.
