Chapter 25

Tyler’s POV.

Life left me when Andrea fell to the floor; she was puking blood and my whole shirt was stained. I couldn't think straight; I wasn't ready to lose the one woman I love.

“Ami!! Call the Ambulance!

The show was scattered; everyone was running up and down trying to look for a solution. Ami called an Ambulance but it was taking longer than expected. It was the longest wait of my entire life.

"Andrea, please open your eyes.

She didn't respond to me; her pulse was dropping every second.

The Ambulance finally arrived and they tried to revive her but it was almost impossible. She wasn't responding; they just fixed an oxygen bottle and took her into the Ambulance. They didn't allow me to sit with her inside so I drove behind them. My hands were shaky, and I was almost driving off the road because I was so scared and worried. My mom was calling me but I wasn't in the mood to talk to her. We got to the hospital and they moved Andrea to the emergency ward. They still didn't let me see her; they shut the door behind my face. I was pacing around restlessly; all the nurses rushed in and No one was ready to talk to me. I was losing my mind.

The doctor finally came out and I blocked his way.

"Doctor, what is Happening? What is wrong with her? Is she going to be alright?

“She was poisoned; we need to flush the poison away from her blood stream before it damages her vital organs. Her chance of survival is 50%.

“Poisoned!!! Andrea didn't know anyone there at the launch so who would want to poison her?

The doctor left me and went back inside the emergency room. I couldn't go in; the news destabilized my body system; my phone was ringing but I didn't care to check who was calling; I wasn't stable enough to talk to anybody; the doctors were rushing in and out of Andrea’s room, and it made me panic even more. My heart was racing really fast.

“We need to do a blood transfusion immediately!!

That was the only thing I heard from the ward. I was restless. I sat down but it didn't help so I started pacing around again. I brought out my phone to check who was calling and it was Ami.

“Hello Ami.

“Tyler, I've been calling; how is she now? Please tell me she is awake.

“She is moribund, Ami. They are about to do a blood transfusion now, and the doctor said she was poisoned.

“What!! How can that be possible?

"Please, what did she eat at the event?

“I gave her snacks and the drink I gave you both; that was all; she didn't eat anything else; who would possibly want to hurt her?

“I have no idea, Ami, and the culprit better pray not to be caught, because I will make sure they rot in jail!

“I’ve discharged everyone; please send me the address of the hospital. I will be there as soon as possible.

“You do not have to come here, Ami. Go back home and rest; I will handle it.

“I’m so worried, Tyler, and I'm so scared too; I will be restless if I go back home.

“You can come over in the morning; rest for now.

I was trying to console Ami but I was losing my mind here; I couldn't focus. The doctors have been in there for over an hour trying to revive Amber but she was still unconscious.

The doctor finally came out of the ward and I quickly rushed to him.

“Is she awake now? How is she doing now?

“She is still unconscious; she lost blood. It will take a while for her to wake up; all you have to do now is pray for her. We have tried our best; let’s hope she wakes up.

“Can I see her now?

"Yes, you can.

I rushed into the ward and saw Andrea laying down unconscious with so many pipes fixed to her body and her mouth; her eyes were shut and it looked like she was lifeless.

For the first time in a long time, tears rolled down my face. I was hopeless; I couldn't do anything to save her. Her life now depends on God Almighty, not even money.

I held her hand and tried to talk to her. It was an emotional moment for me. I broke down and I couldn't control the tears that were pouring on my face.

“Baby, you can do this; you are a strong woman; you can fight this. Please do not slip away from my hand; I cannot afford to lose you to the cold hands of death. Please come back to me, baby.

Andrea was laying still; she didn't move; fear gripped me; I have never been this scared my entire life; I kissed her hand and used it to touch my face to calm me down. I honestly cannot explain how I fell in love with Andrea; it was still mysterious to me; I dreaded commitment and relationships, but ever since Andrea came into my life, I felt different; I saw things differently; it was as if she changed my view of things; she brought happiness to my life; the only thing I think about all the time is spending the rest of my life with her.

I touched her hair, and I touched her face, trying to see if she would move a little but she wasn't responding to my touches. The only sound that filled the room was the sound of the machines beeping. The sound filled the room, and I could also hear the sound of my heart beat. It felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest because of the way it was pumping. My phone suddenly beeped, and I reluctantly brought out the phone to check the message. It was a message from my mum. I have been ignoring her calls for a while now.

**“We need to talk, Tyler; it is urgent. I need to see you!**
