Chapter 333 - I AM SORRY
Chapter 333 – I AM SORRY
Ian was sitting beside Hailee's bed, to guard her, while the gun that Ramon had given him was tucked away in his trouser pocket and about five bodyguards were outside this room.
But, that's not all, actually the entire hospital building was filled with Ramon's people.
Maybe this was an exaggeration, but considering who Ramon Tordoff was and what had just happened to his wife, of course Ramon wouldn't take this for granted and do all the crazy things he could do.
Meanwhile, Hailee was still unconscious.
The bruises on her face were still clearly visible, making Ian every time he saw her want to go after Axcel and give the jerk a private lesson. How could he possibly hurt Hailee like this? Has he gone mad?
But, come to think of it, nothing sane had happened for the time being. Everything has been really crazy in the last twenty-four hours.
Ian yawned and turned off his cell phone's screen after reading the news about the Tordoff Family being involved in Leon Dawson's captivity.
The news was huge, because after all the Dawsons had been in the spotlight lately.
Although Leon was no longer a member of the Dawson family, his last name still attracted a lot of attention.
Ian didn't know how Ramon would handle this, but he knew that the man would be able to handle any problems that arose.
And now, Ian's focus was solely on Hailee. The woman was still asleep and there was no sign that she would wake up anytime soon.
Ian then glanced at the CCTV installed in the corner of the room and sighed. He didn't know what Ramon was doing right now, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to find trouble with the man when he was in such a dark mood.
Therefore, Ian refrained from getting too close to Hailee and making the Tordoff heir go even more out of control.
Ian yawned again. He then walked to the sofa and prepared to close his eyes for a moment because he could no longer stand the sleepiness and tried to sleep for a while.
But then Ian saw Hailee move from the corner of his eye before he heard her whimpering softly.
Immediately, Ian's drowsiness disappeared and he jumped off the sofa, quickly rushing to Hailee's side to make sure that the girl had really regained consciousness.
And indeed that was what happened. Ian saw her slowly opening her eyes.
"Hailee?" Ian felt his smile hurt his face and he immediately pressed the emergency button beside Hailee's bed to call the doctor.
Hailee then moved her lips, she seemed to be about to say something, therefore, Ian leaned his body so that his ear was closer to Hailee to hear what this girl had to say.
"My baby…" Hailee said very quietly, like a whisper. "How… my baby…"
Hearing this question, Ian was suddenly at a loss for words and was unable to find the right way to disclose that she had lost her baby to Hailee.
How could Ian tell this kind of news to his best friend?
================
Ramon immediately got out of the car before the car actually stopped and rushed to Hailee's room, avoiding several reporters who had arrived and were being restrained by Ramon's bodyguards.
It was unclear where they got the information about Ramon's whereabouts, but he certainly didn't want to focus on that right now because there were other things that were far more important than all of that.
Ramon ran down the corridor while the several bodyguards scattered around the hospital nodded at him, as a short greeting.
And Ramon only slowed down when he arrived at Hailee's door.
Ramon slowly reached out his hand to open the door, while feeling his heart beating fast. It wasn't that he had run along the corridor, but that something else was making him unable to breathe and feel suffocated, because Ramon knew what awaited him.
With one gentle thump, Ramon opened the door and walked inside.
On the other side of the room, there was a large glass window that showed the beauty of the sunset and it is a very eye-catching and romantic sight.
However, Ramon didn't feel all of these things, especially when his eyes fell on Hailee's face.
Hailee's body looked so small and fragile in the big hospital bed. Her eyes were bruised and there were several small cuts on her face while her right hand was bandaged with an IV drip attached to her wrist.
Hailee's long black hair spread behind her back and looked a little messy.
Hailee was talking to Ian when she noticed Ramon's presence and the stared at each other for a while before Hailee reached out her hand, asking Ramon to come closer.
The atmosphere in the room felt very stifling, there was an unspeakable sadness that was palpable, even to Ian.
It was as if the air had become heavy and oppressive, and Ian knew it was time for him to leave.
Wordlessly and quietly, Ian rose from his seat and walked out of the room, leaving the couple alone, as he closed the door behind him.
Ramon walked over to Hailee and held her hand which felt so fragile in his own, he kissed it softly for a really long moment.
"I'm sorry…" Ramon whispered softly into Hailee's hand which he was kissing. "I apologize…"
Ramon then knelt beside Hailee's bed and lowered his head, allowing Hailee to gently stroke his neck and then run her fingers through his hair.
"It's not your fault," Hailee said. Her voice sounded very hoarse and heavy, as if there was an intense sadness she was trying to swallow.
"I'm sorry…" Ramon said again, this time his voice was stronger and trembling.
Hailee could feel her hands getting wet while Ramon's breath roared as his shoulders shook violently.
Hailee then leaned forward and kissed Ramon's head, while she felt her own tears dripping down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry…." Ramon repeated again. He said every word earnestly, but that alone wasn't enough because he had a thousand reasons to apologize to his wife and also their child who would never feel the affection of the two of them…
