Chapter 49 :
\-ZOEY ASHFORD-

I tried to move on the way Mariah advised.. I got back to writing more chapters and uploading more books.

It's been a week since everything happened and I did my best to forget everything that happened.

But, it's hard to forget.. the pain is still there lingering in my heart.

For the last few days, I have been feeling under the weather. Feverish, nauseous and exhausted.

I don't know why but maybe it's due to the fact that I haven't had enough rest for so long.

I dragged my lazy feet out of my room, soaked up in a warm teddy sweater.

Mariah was at the dining and I joined her, sitting right opposite her.

"You look worse, Zoey. Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital and get a proper check up done?"

I shook my head negatively.

"I'll be fine. I have my medications, I'm sure I'd get some relief soon"

"I still think you should come with me to the hospital and get a proper test done"

I refused, got up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

As I drank, all I felt was a bland taste bud. The water felt bitter in my throat and It's irritating.

"Get some rest, Zoey and call me when things get worse. I'll be leaving for the hospital, in few minutes"

I gave her a curt nod and walked back into my room, getting on my bed and pulling the duvet over me.

It's not snowing, neither is it windy outside but I'm shivering. I wonder what is wrong with me

Hours later, I feel like I'm getting worse... I feel hot and cold at the same time and I feel like throwing up.

A lot of changes that I feel in myself. I feel my boobs have become slightly fuller.. just a little bit and I feel sleepy in the mornings as well.

I'm usually full of energy but as it stands right now.. I don't have the slightest energy.

How long will I endure the ache I feel in my head?

Mariah is right. I should have listened to her and just go with her.. now I'm stuck here alone.

I coughed slightly, turning and reaching out to my phone..My body trembled as I grabbed the phone.. I could barely keep my eyes open as everything kept spinning round and round.

I began to search for Mariah's contact number but it.seemed endless and it feels like I keep scrolling in circles.

Then I found it... so I thought..I dialed and she picked up almost immediately.

"Please.. help me.. I can't.. it's getting worse.."

I said.. my voice was barely audible but I hope she can hear me.

I couldn't complete my statement when my phone slipped from my hands and I couldn't hold back myself.

My head became heavier and then before I knew it, everything went black and all my senses went blank.

\-CHASE BLUE-

"What do you say, Mr Anderson?...You can see that my company has always provided the best and nothing but the best. you.can trust us and be rest assured that your we will render our services without failure"

I said to the client.

"Very well then.. If your company can give us the best with a sure guarantee, then I promise you, we'll have more deals to close "

"I look forward to that.. You can trust us wholeheartedly.."

"In that case, let's have the contract signed and mice down to business.."

"Sure Mr Anderson"

I signed the contract with Mr. Anderson.. my client. We shook hands and I saw him off.

When it's just Lucas and I, he nudged at me slightly.

"Now, that's the Chase Blue I know"

"What do you mean? Did I ever change?"

"Of course, you did. A week ago, you were a shadow of yourself"

I scoffed.. "Let's not talk about it, Lucas.."

"Right!"

At that moment, my phone buzzed loudly and when I checked the screen, it was Zoey calling. I hesitated unsure if I should answer it or just watch it ring to a stop.

I'm being cautious. She says I shouldn't show my face . or maybe this is just some mistake.

However, Lucas nudged at me, urging me to pick up.

"Answer it Man. Who knows she might be ready to listen to everything you have to say.. Don't miss this chance..."

I answered before it rang to a stop but before I could speak, I heard her low voice.. trembling from the other end of the call.

Perhaps, she thought she called Mariah...But she kept asking to get helped.

My heart skipped hearing the phone crash and the line drop dead.

"Zoey.. Zoey!!" I called out but got no response.

"What is it?" Lucas asked.

"There's something wrong with her, Lucas... I need to go over and see for myself"

"Should I come with?" He asked

"No.. stay back"

I rushed out of the company, ignoring the looks from my employees.

As soon as I got into my car, I zoomed off.. driving at full speed and honking at every car to get the duck out of my way.

I wonder what could be wrong... I was worried that something bad might have happened to her.

I drove faster, stepping on the acceleration.

I hit traffic on my way and my impatience grew.... I kept tapping my steering wheel with my index finger, patiently waiting for it to finish counting.

As soon as it did, I zoomed past the cars at the front.

I got to her apartment and jumped off the car quickly. Getting to her door, I banged on it loudly.

"Zoey?.. Zoey.. Are you in there? Open up"

There was no response and there's no way I can get in without the password to the door.

I looked around, wondering what I could do. To make matters worse, I have no contact with her best friend, Mariah.

"Get out of my way..."

Wes suddenly showed up, pushing me aside. He punched in some code and I still didn't get what the code was.

He pushed the door open but won't let me get in.

"Get off, Wes.."

"Not until you tell me what you're doing here"

"Zoey called me, okay?... Now get off, I need to see her"

"Never!!"

He rushed in towards her room.. I stood by the door and waited for him.

Whatever it is, I just have to let him do it and not cause a fight.

I know he won't let me touch her while he's here.

Now is not the time to fight... And, as for why and how he's here at this same moment, I'll get to find out later.

He rushed out of her room, carrying her in his arms.. She was unconscious.

"We need to take her to the hospital, Wes.. hurry!"

"I know that. Don't fucking tell me what to do" He snapped, brushing past me.

I followed, getting into my car and driving behind him.

Whether he likes it or not, I'll make sure he does the right thing with Zoey.. I'll drive behind him, go with him to the hospital and make sure everything is ready.

I won't just let him handle things without my watch.
