Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

Bad news.

(ASHLEY'S POV)

I shifted uncomfortably on the couch, my eyes fixed on the wall clock. Four hours had passed since Arielle was rushed into the emergency room, and yet, I had heard nothing. No updates, no news, just an eerie silence that was driving me nuts.

I had tried calling Jared multiple times, but his phone was busy, and when I called few minutes ago, it was switched off. Shouldn't he be worried and had called me by now since it's late in the evening already, and Arielle was not home yet?

He used to call me whenever Arielle was not home and with him, but today was different, and I didn't feel good about it. I was tempted to go find him, to ensure he knew his wife was lying in the hospital, fighting for her life, but I couldn't bring myself to leave Arielle. Not yet.

I wanted to see my best friend, to hold her hand, to know she was going to be okay. But then, there was this nagging feeling in my gut that Jared was somehow involved in what happened to Arielle.

I don't mean to sound paranoid, but by the lights above I hope he isn't. Because if he was, I was going to kill him.

I stood up and began to pace, and just then, a nurse walked into the room. My heart lunged in anticipation as I rushed towards her, hoping for news, any news, about Arielle.

The nurse looked my way with a smile. "Oh, there you are. I was looking for you."

"Is there news?"

The nurse nodded. "Yes. She's out of harm's way and has been transferred to a private ward."

I let out a breather, feeling like a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. "Can I see her now?"

The nurse nodded again, "Yes, but you have to see the doctor first."

"Alright, lead me to him.

I followed the nurse, and she stopped in front of a door and knocked gently. A voice from inside called out, "Come in." The nurse opened the door and gestured for me to enter. I took a deep breath and stepped inside. The doctor, young and good-looking, smiled and gestured for me to take a seat. "Please, have a seat, ma'am."
