One Night With The Billionaire

Everyone stood up quickly and drew closer to Richard. His eyes went red. Genesis’ tears were already running down her cheeks.

“No, doctor, she can’t die. Use the chest compressor, resuscitate her, do anything you can. In fact I’m stepping in” Richard pleaded.

He placed his hands down and glanced at the theatre. “What happened? Is Arianna fine?” Jace demanded. Genesis pulled Richard by his upper arm and was sobbing profusely “Richard save Arianna’s life” she sobbed.

Richard held Genesis and kissed her temple. “Arianna is..” he choked. He couldn’t bring himself to complete it.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Don’t you dare say that last word, Richard” Genesis implored. Richard dragged her to Chase and said “Take care of my girl” and dashed into the theatre.

He was not dressed for theatre work but got in and wore the Available one at the entrance and got in. He took the chest compressor from the head surgeon.

At this time, he had stilled his heart. He wasn’t looking at her from the perspective of a friend but a patient. His emotions bottled up and he placed the chest compressor on Arianna’s chest, once, no response.

Second time, her heart didn’t kick start and Richard was praying silently that God should save his friend. She can’t just die like this. She hadn’t experienced a good life, why should she suffer and die like a chicken.

After the third attempt, if Arianna’s heart didn’t pick up, it’s done forever. She will become the forgotten one. The third time, Richard placed it on her chest, and she jerked up in gasp.

There is a beam of smile on the faces of the other surgeons. Richard is one of the best surgeons and they were unhappy when he said he couldn’t carry out the surgery because the patient is his friend.

They wanted to save her but her heart suddenly stopped beating and they immediately called Richard. Quickly, the oxygen was fixed and he took over the surgery

“.. no Arianna, you can’t just die like that. Think about Eli, just think about your son…” Genesis was sobbing.

Jace turned his back to everyone and placed his temple against the wall. He was sobbing. Why would she die? He would have been the dead one, not her.

He pulled his hair and hit his fist against the wall several times, his knuckles were bleeding and he didn’t even realise it. He heard Genesis’ words, pleading that she shouldn’t die and thinking about Eli.

If Arianna ever comes out of the hospital alive, he would owe his life and the rest of his existence to her. She is the reason why he’s alive and her life is gone.

Chase knew Jace was sobbing. He was feeling sad as well and was consoling Genesis. Suddenly he glanced at the theatre light again and saw it was on. He exclaimed “Arianna has been resuscitated”

Genesis glanced at the theatre light and saw it indeed. She sniffled and cleaned her tears. That means that Richard had done something to bring Arianna back to life.

“CEO Jace, Arianna is alive again” Genesis announced. The latter turned and glanced at the red light blinking. He couldn’t help but find himself smiling.

Amelia and Henry Hudson couldn’t help but be worried about their son. They couldn’t come to the hospital to find him and the woman who saved his life. The woman would be compensated for her kindness.

But the hospital was crowded with journalists. Going there is completely out of it. They kept calling the boys and they didn’t answer. Eventually, Amelia decided to call one of Jace’s trusted bodyguards.

Soon, a bodyguard came to inform Jace that ma’am wants to talk to him. He nodded and fetched his phone. He saw several missed calls and called his mom.

“She’s not out of the theatre yet. She’s Eli’s mother…I’ll talk to you again…”Jace hung up. He glanced at Chase and nodded.

Few hours later, Arianna was wheeled out of the theatre. She was unconscious and taken to a private ward. But Jace refused and asked that she should be brought to the ward specially meant for the Hudson’s family.

“She doesn’t have a right to stay there. And besides, she might frown at it when she wakes up” Genesis protested.

“She’s the mother of my son and that makes her my woman. She would stay in the ward meant for my family” Jace insisted.

“He’s right, Genesis. Arianna had the right to everything that is owned by Jace and the Hudson’s family at large” Chase added.

Genesis shrugged. Richard glared at Jace and his brother, and looked away. That way, the ward was open and Arianna was wheeled in there.

It isn’t a ward, it should be called a private apartment. The patient bed was sophisticated and expensive. Though the bed rails were still there, it was adjustable but exquisite.

Glancing in, you would find a comfortable bedroom. There was an exquisite sofa and the patient cupboard was placed next to the bed.

The equipment was set up and Arianna was princessly attended to. “I’ll stay with her tonight”Jace declared and Richard protested “You can’t , Jace. You have no reason to be here overnight because of Arianna” he announced.

Richard next ushered them all out and said the patient needs some rest. They were free to go. It was evident that Richard was being hostile towards Jace. He doesn’t seem pacified yet, he still wants to express his dislike for him.

Jace stood still, he was not going to leave. He wants to see just how Richard is going to throw him out of the ward. Seeing the atmosphere was getting tense with the vibes of unsettled grudge, Chase intervened.
