Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Marlin's cell phone suddenly rang, he immediately took his cell phone from his trouser pocket, Mr. Edrick's name was visible on the screen of his cellphone. His hands were still shaking, not from the coldness of the rain, but a sudden big event.

All of this was beyond his expectations.

"Sir, you'd better come with us to the hospital. Your head is bleeding too," a voice from next to him.

Marlin reflex turned to the source of the sound and found a firefighter.

"You are hurt, sir. You'd better come with us," the man repeated.

Marlin nodded weakly, then followed the man to the ambulance.

Several of his men approached and asked about his condition, Marlin then ordered them to secure Edward's car and his car. He also asked some of them to report to Mr. Edrick about the accident.

During the trip to the hospital, Edward had seizures before he breathed his last. Yes, the man died before reaching the hospital. It was caused by heavy bleeding in his head.

Meanwhile, Byanca, the woman's condition is very critical.

Elsewhere.

Edrick is restless. Since earlier, Marlin has not answered his phone, and neither has Brian.

"What's this? Where are they all? Why aren't they answering my calls?" Edrick grumbled while holding his phone tightly. Not without reason, he felt annoyed because he had contacted Marlin and Brian many times but they never answered the phone.

He wanted to know what happened. How could Dave be in the hospital at this time? Where's Brian? What did the man do? Then Edward? What had he done to the boy?

Various questions appeared in Edrick's mind, making the man almost crazy with curiosity.

A deep breath could be heard repeatedly escaping his lips, without his realizing he had been walking back and forth inside his father's gurney for a few minutes.

"Edrick..."

A voice that sounded very weak caught the man's attention.

"Daddy, are you awake? That's good if you're okay," said Edrick immediately approaching the middle-aged man.

"Don't move too much, Dad. Wait for me, I'll call the doctor to check your condition again," he added and stepped out of the room.

Only a few minutes later and the doctor and a nurse came and checked Mr. Javier's condition. After that, he gave a liquid injection to the middle-aged man's infuse bottle.

"His condition is starting to improve, but he still needs a lot of rest. Don't let him do anything heavy. I'll come back later to check on his condition, sir," said the doctor to Edrick.

"Ah yes, I almost forgot. You have to keep your father's feelings stable, sir. All for the sake of the healing process" added the doctor again.

"Okay, Doc. Don't worry," replied Edrick.

"Okay, then I'll excuse myself, sir," the doctor said goodbye and walked away leaving Edrick.

After that, Edrick went back into the room and approached his father.

"Daddy, how are you feeling now?" asked Edrick, then landed himself on the chair beside the gurney.

"How is Dave? Did you manage to bring him back to his family without Edward knowing?" asked Mr. Javier first.

Hearing his father's question, Edrick took a deep breath. How could his father worry about other people without caring about his condition?

"Dad, you just woke up. You need to get some rest, stop thinking about Dave or whoever that is. Let it be my business, the most important thing now is your condition," said Edrick.

"I can't calm down, Edrick. I..."

"Dave's fine, Dad. He's back in his family," Edrick said interrupting his father's words.

"Really? Then where is Edward? Does not he ever comes to visit me here?" Javier asked again, his voice hoarse and weak.

"That's right, Dad. I didn't lie to you. So you don't have to worry anymore. About Edward, he told me he'd be visiting today, Dad..maybe he'll come soon," said Edrick casually.

Mr. Javier nodded weakly, "Then what makes you look so uneasy? When I opened my eyes, I saw you walking back and forth there. You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"No Daddy. I'm not lying to you," replied Edrick that very second.

"I'm nervous because there's a little problem at the office. But don't worry, I've asked Brian to take care of everything," he added, he had to lie for the sake of his father's health.

Hearing that, Mr. Javier nodded. He was relieved to know everything.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

A knock on the door was heard, causing Edrick and Mr. Javier to turn towards the source of the sound.

At the same time, someone appeared from behind the door, someone who looked foreign to the two of them.

Edrick immediately stood up, "Who are you? Why enter someone else's room without permission?"

"Forgive my impudence, sir. I'm here because of Mr. Marlin..."

"Marlin?" Edrick interrupted the man's words.

"That's right, sir."

"Alright, then wait for me outside. My father needs rest, I don't want our conversation to disturb him," said Edrick to the man. He didn't want to disturb his father, but the big reason he asked him to wait outside was that he didn't want his father to hear anything about the plans he had made with Marlin.

"Daddy, I'm going out first. Are you okay if I leave you here alone? Don't worry, I'm just a moment," he said again as he turned to his father.

"All right, go. I'm fine," Mr. Javier replied weakly.

Elsewhere.

Devan and Claire have arrived at the hospital. Leo and Naila were also with them.

During the trip, Claire never stopped crying. The woman was terrified when she heard that her son was in a coma.

"Mom, Dad...." Claire called when she saw the two figures in front of the ICU.

Immediately Seira welcomed her daughter-in-law and hugged her.

"Be patience, dear," said Seira while stroking the woman's head.

"Mom, how are his condition now? Has there been any progress?" asked Devan, he looked at his father and mother alternately.

Mr. Atmadja shook his head.

"Dave is in a coma and he is extremely dehydrated. The doctor has given him treatment. Next, the doctor will do a blood test to find out why he is in such a condition to take further action, Devan," said Mr. Javier explaining the current condition of his grandson.

Claire sobbed, "Where is my son, Daddy? I want to see him," she stammered.
