With her blurry vision, Arabella watched the plane start to lift in the air.
She could feel the trembling of her nerves inside. Her face was cold but heavy.
When she forced her weak body to stand, it stumbled backed on the ground.
With tears continued filling her eyes, her vision blacked out in an instant.
“Adam! Adam! Adam!” Arabella woke up in the hospital screaming her son’s name.
Eric was startled and held her shoulder and hand.
It had been two days since she was brought there and Eric never left her side.
Last night, Arabella seemed to catch a nightmare as she was sobbing in her sleep.
The doctor said she was in a good condition only Arabella wanted to remember everything that her mind was traveling to where Adam was taken.
Eric could not just stand and watch Arabella’s tears fall like rain in her slumber.
Her chest was heavily heaving up and down while her eyes were closed.
Eric tried to call Bill Sky personally.
He had his personal number as their companies made several business transactions before when they didn’t have Arabella.
They were not friends but they were not enemies.
They were casual as their companies were business partners sometimes in a project.
Bill Sky's number was out of reach.
So, Eric called his secretary to gather the information he wanted to know.
“Sir, as far my investigation goes, Mr. Bill Sky hasn’t seen in the company for two days now as well as Adam. He didn’t go to school for two days now.”
“Hmmm…” Eric just muttered trying to analyze everything.
He had a bad feeling about it but he wanted confirmation.
With his money and power, Bill Sky could do anything.
If Bill had signed the divorce contract that could only mean he was determined to wipe out Arabella in Adam and his life.
He had nothing to do with her anymore.
That could only lead to his thought that Bill brought Adam abroad to be away from her.
“Sh*T!” Eric could not hold himself.
He was in a big dilemma on how he could tell Arabella about it.
His money and connections could not help her right now.
Though Eric still had his eyes in other countries activated, no one could still find Bill Sky.
If only he was just looking for an ordinary man, it would not cause him any problem.
It would just be a matter of approximately 10 minutes to find an ordinary guy with his connections in different countries.
But Bill Sky is Bill Sky.
He was like finding a needle that was dropped in the ocean.
'What if she collapsed again?'
Arabella became fragile when it comes to her son, Adam.
“Keep on monitoring Bill Sky and Adam’s whereabouts,” Eric ordered and dropped the call.
He was praying that somehow, Bill Sky would just in a business trip tagging his son along with him.
Then Eric heaved a heavy sigh releasing his frustrations on the situation.
Three days had passed when Arabella was completely discharged from the hospital.
Inside the car, he could see Arabella was excited.
She seemed to be back in her normal vigor and was full of life again.
Seeing this Eric could not feel his happiness instead he felt something bad about it.
He was completely bothered by her happy aura.
“Brother…” Arabella called Eric’s name along with a sweet smile.
Eric instantly felt goosebumps.
After all the nights of sobbing in her sleep, she smiled as nothing had happened.
“Hmmm…” Eric answered her. He wanted to know what she was thinking and why she was smiling.
He admitted that he didn’t know her that well but his analysis about a person who had gone through dark days could not smile just like that unless her problem had been solved. But for Arabella, solving her problem was a pie in the sky.
“We have to hurry. I am excited to hug my son.” Arabella excitedly uttered. There were sparks in her eyes while she slightly giggled in excitement.
Hearing Arabella, Eric froze.
For a moment he ran out for words to say.
He could not react immediately.
The problem he thought earlier was nothing compared to the new one.
Not a single thought crossed his mind that Arabella would forget everything that happened, the reason why she was admitted to the hospital.
He looked at Arabella with full of pity.
“Brother, are you okay?” Arabella immediately asked seeing his worried expression.
Eric regained his senses hearing Arabella’s question.
He tried hard not to give her a hint about the painful scene of her but he could not hide how he pitied her.
“Hmmm… Just a quick second. Stay here. Okay? I forgot something inside.” Eric answered Arabella with an alibi.
Arabella just smiled along with a nod.
Eric quickly went out of the car and hid in a corner.
He got his phone and called Arabella’s personal doctor.
He got her one of the best doctors in Capital Z as he could not rely on just some doctors in the hospital.
“Dr. Wood, Arabella could not remember what she went through. How could this be possible?” Eric had no time to greet the doctor properly. He was just sneaking so he had not enough time to talk longer than one minute.
“I’m very sorry about that Mr. Grant.” The doctor immediately apologized as he could not afford to lose a very important client. “Please don’t worry about her. I had not detected any complications in her brain. Her situation now is more psychological. Arabella doesn’t want to accept the real situation that she tends to believe on what she wanted to see and feel.” The doctor politely explained.
“What medicine we can give her?” Eric’s voice was full of worries.
“I’m sorry Mr. Grant but the only medicine is herself. She had to accept the real situation she is in no matter what. One thing we can give her is medicine to calm her down after her break down.” The doctor continued. “But…” Mr. Wood stopped.
Eric got nervous when Dr. Wood stopped.
He could feel another bad thing would happen to her.
“What is it?” He hurriedly asked to kill the palpitation in his heart.
“If she would have a breakdown, we could not predict or assure what would happen next. The survival of the patient is depending on her mind and body to reciprocate and process the medication. Not everyone would survive and others went completely insane.” The doctor continued in a low tone. It was obvious that he didn’t want to scare his VIP client but he was doing his best to implement his task as a doctor.
Hearing Dr. Wood, Eric froze on his spot.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He was not prepared for the information about Arabella’s situation.
No!
