You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 16

“Mom, calm down. What about dad? Tell me!” Arabella had sudden goosebumps. Intense nervousness caught her senses.

“Arabella your dad was shot. He was now in the emergency room fighting for his life. I’m on my way there now.” Her mom was crying heavily on the other line.

She suddenly froze. She felt like a bucket of ice was being poured for her.

“What’s the name of the hospital mom? I will go there now.” Her tears suddenly rolled down uncontrollably.

“Sky Medical Care Hospital.” Her mom wept on the other line.

“I’m on my way now.” Her silent cried became tumultuous.

Farrah panicked when she heard Arabella’s loud weeping.

“What happened?” Farrah asked.

“My dad. He was in the hospital. He is in a critical condition.” She quickly told Farrah while sobbing.

“What?” Farrah quickly jumped out from the bed, got her coat, car key and chase Arabella that already exited in the room.

In a flash, they arrived at the hospital.

They quickly went to the emergency room.

Her mom was there already, waiting outside crying silently.

“Mom.” She hugged her mom while gently rubbing her back to ease her.

“Arabella, your dad was waiting for you last night. He didn’t want to eat dinner until you come. He looked for you everywhere. He went to Farrah’s house, hoping you live there and walk away when no one was there. I don’t know where he went after. The next call I received is from a stranger informing me that your dad was shot and was here in a critical state.” Her mom explained while still sobbing.

Immense guilt quickly punched her down. If only she forgot her grudges towards him, he would have been okay.

If she only gave in to her father’s request, he would still be breathing fine now.

At this moment, she disheartened herself. She hated herself so much.

She’s blaming herself for being so ungrateful daughter.

Farrah kept on rubbing her shoulder as she couldn’t stop sobbing in the corner.

“He was still critical, he lost lots of blood. He is in a coma now and we need to supervise him 24/7 because he can die anytime.” The doctor said with an exhausted look.

Arabella hugged her mom while they were crying heavily.

Arabella’s dad was then transferred to a private room.

Even if her dad was sleeping, Arabella saw the trace of how much he suffered in his face. She felt so much hatred for herself.

Arabella had to turn back home to accompany her mother and help managing their own company.

Seconds turned into minutes and days into weeks. The police couldn’t find any evidence of the incident. It seemed that, the person behind the intentional killing of his father was a big shot that he could clean the scene that easy.

Arabella didn’t hear anything from Bill anymore. It seemed that Bill already had forgotten her and settled his family matter. Maybe he was already married with another girl. She wouldn’t know.

With her family’s situation now, Arabella was pre-occupied by giving justice to her father with the help of her best friend, Farrah.

“What about if we asked Bill Sky for help? Farrah suggested while trying to hack the CCTV around the place of the crime.

“No.” she quickly exclaimed.

“But we had been doing this for months now and yet we still can’t find any clues. There must be big money involved here that’s why even the police can’t give us a good report.” Farrah had a point.

How come police didn’t find any evidence that led to the suspect. Their investigation was left hanging since there is no supporting evidence.

“Come on. Arabella, you know as powerful as Bill Sky this matter is just nothing. Every person in capital Z knows him. No one will dare to reject his orders.” Farrah said, trying to convince her.

“Still no.” Arabella had strongly disagreed.

How could she do that? Bill made clear that he didn’t want to see her anymore. They are nothing but strangers now.

“But look, think of your father. He is still in a coma right now. We did everything but there’s nothing we can find. If you really want justice to your father, you must ask Bill Sky. He’s our best option right now.” Farrah was not planning to give up on convincing her.

Farrah was absolutely right. As powerful as he is, there is nothing he can’t do. She needed to swallow her pride in order to catch the real culprit.

She believed that she was the reason why his father was shot and badly lying on the bed, so she will do whatever it takes to give him justice.

“Okay. I’ll do it.” Her guilt kept on bugging her. She needs to do it for her father’s sake.

The next morning Arabella entered Sky Corporation once again.

She was feeling nervous and for some reason she felt excited.

Maybe because she can see Bill Sky again, but also worried because he clearly said that they don’t have anything with each other. She didn’t know what will Bill reaction if he would see her face again.
