His Choice Forever novel Chapter 8

"Wh-what do you me-mean Beth's in the hos-hospital?" I said nervously.

"She had a hard time breathing and then fainted." She replied. I knew she sometimes couldn't breathe well but I just thought maybe it was because she was little.

"Ok. Ok. What's the name of the name of the hospital. I'm on my way." I said.

"St. Benedict's hospital." She said.

"Ok. I'm coming." I said and cut the phone. I went to the reception and saw Taylor was still there. I decided to tell her what happened.

"Taylor, I got to go. Beth's in the hospital." I told her. She widened her eyes.

"Oh my God. What happened to her?" She asked.

"She was finding it hard to breathe and fainted. I have to go Taylor. I'll talk to you later. By-"

"And if I may ask, where do you think your going miss Emily?" Scott said. Gosh, I didn't want him to know am leaving the office. I turned around and my eyes met with his.

"Sir, I have to leave. My sister's in the hospital. I have to go sir. Please." I pleaded.

"Its ok. I can take you if you want." He replied and I was surprised at his gesture. I nodded my head.

"Ok. Ok. Let's go." We left to the hospital. I think Scott was talking to me in the car but I didn't hear a word he was saying. I was just focused on Beth. Oh God, I hope she's okay. We reached the hospital and rushed to the reception. They told us the room number and we went there. My heart was beating really hard because we were at the front of the room and I was scared. I twisted the door knob and opened it. I could hear the beeping sound. I entered in slowly and there was my little baby sister lying down on the bed looking pale white. I clamped my mouth with my hands as soon as I saw her to stop me from bursting into tears. I saw Michelle beside her. Her head was on her bed and she was asleep while mike was on the only chair in the room also asleep. I went to Michelle and tapped her. She blinked her eyes and as soon as they landed on me, tears filled her eyes and then she started crying. It took me all in my power not to cry there.

"Hey, hey, common stop crying. It ok. Its ok." I said trying to calm her down and also me.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked.

"She said Beth's..." She stopped in her words. I started getting scared.

"Michelle what did the doctor say?" I asked again.

"she said Beth's..." She stopped again. I've started getting fed up.

"Just answer the ques-"

"asthmatic. She said Beth's asthmatic. Why she fainted was because the airpipe got cut off because she couldn't breathe again so that's why she fainted ." she ended with a sigh.

"She also said that this will happen time to time but it won't that's if you'll be there with her 24/7." she added later on. I was speechless. My Beth's asthmatic. I can't believe this. I started feeling dizzy and was about to hit the ground when a pair if strong arms caught me. Scott arms. I forgot he was here.

"Beth's asthmatic. My Beth's asthmatic." Those were the only words I was repeating till the darkness overtook me.

I woke up to hearing an annoying beeping sound that won't stop. I opened my eyes once and shut it back immediately. Gosh, this sound should stop. I tried opening my eyes once more and then blinked few times t adjust to the light and I succeeded. I saw a figure on a seat sitting down with a blazer covering his head. I remembered Beth and then remembered what Michelle said about Beth and then I became alert. Beth. My wig. Shit. I touched my hair and hallelujah to the heavens, my hair was still brunette. I tried getting up but I couldn't.

"Ugh" I let out a frustrated groan which made me know I craved for water right now and also made the figure to wake up and to my surprise, it was Scott. I don't know what he's doing here. He came over to me.
