One Night With The Billionaire

When he drove into the hospital, the nurses came with a stretcher. Richard had placed Arianna in a recovery position in his car the entire way to the hospital and Genesis couldn’t stop herself from sobbing.

Arianna was placed on the stretcher. It seemed like she was lifeless. There are no signs of breath in her. Her lips and fingers have a bluish tinge and her skin was cold. She was breathing, at least that is what Genesis could conclude.

“She’s in a coma already. She doesn’t have much time left, take her to the intensive care unit..”Richard was dishing out instructions and the nurses immediately went into action.

Richard removed his suit and shoved it into Genesis arms. He went after the stretcher Arianna was on and was saying “Set the dialysis machine and get a respirator handy…” Richard was saying when Arianna was wheeled into the Intensive care unit and the door shut.

Genesis stayed out and started sobbing. “Oh Aria, what have you done to yourself?” She was sobbing profusely. She placed her hands on her mouth, afraid that she would sob out loud.

Arianna’s life was hanging by a thread. Will she survive, will she make it out of the ICU alive? Oh her life, Arianna is dying…

A Hemodialysis machine was set up and Arianna’s blood was undergoing cleaning. The respirator was fixed on her, enhancing her breath. Arianna remained in the ICU for the next few hours.

Genesis had sobbed and dry patches of tears were on her face. Her eyes were puffy and red and she didn’t move away from the door of the ICU.

She was waiting for Richard. Other doctors have gone in to join him and a few nurses but none of them had stepped out. She was worried, was Arianna able to fight against death and won?

After three hours, Richard stepped out. He beckoned to Genesis to come along with him. He was exhausted. His life seemed to be choking out of him and didn’t have the strength to say a word to Genesis.

She didn’t attack him with the many questions bothering her. She saw his tiredness and went after him. She walked closer and circled her hand around his waist, a subconscious act.

He looked exhausted, she can tell and Richard didn’t bother about her hand on his waist. He opened the door to his office and let Genesis in.

He shut the door and sank into his chair. He sighed audibly and his eyes were as reddened as Genesis’ eyes. The latter looked around and saw a coffee making machine at an extreme end and a refrigerator next to it.

She went to the fridge and got them two bottles of water. Richard saw her bringing the bottle water and stretched his hand. He didn’t wait another minute when he unsealed it and took the bottle water to his mouth.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Talk to me, Richard” Genesis inquired. She’s now restless. She and Richard had satisfied their thirst and now, she wants to hear how Arianna was doing.

“Okay, she’s being stabilised, but it took a lot of effort to save her life. If she had spent another thirty minutes before arriving at the hospital, Arianna would have died.

Her blood was already poisoned by the excessive sedative she took and her nervous system was at the verge of complete breakdown. It took time for the blood to be cleansed.

But she’s gone into a coma. She’ll come around and then she would take a while to regain her senses again. But overall, she’s stable now…” Richard explained.

Genesis was impressed. She saw how professional Richard had handled Arianna’s case. He saved her life. Richard saved her friend’s life. That moment, she cannot express how much she admired and appreciated Richard.

She knew he was having a crush on her before and had thought he was going to express his feelings for her that night before Eli was abducted by Jace Hudson’s men.

She couldn’t hold back her emotions, she walked over to Richard and crushed her lips on his. She kissed him but he didn’t kiss her back and pulled off.

“I learnt to believe that the man should take the first initiative,” Richard declared. Staring into her eyes. They were so close to each other that they could feel each other’s breath.

“What are you waiting for then?” Genesis asked, staring at him with a determined gaze.

Richard chuckled and pulled her to sit on his thighs as he brushed his lips on hers. He pulled her close to himself and kissed her sweetly.

The kissing was long and sweet until they were interrupted by a knock. They paused and Richard gestured to Genesis to sit on the sofa. Her lips were slightly swollen and she blushed.

She took her seat before Richard answered whoever was at the door “Yes” . The door opened and a nurse walked in. “Doctor, the patient seemed to be developing a rigour” she informed.

“What’s her blood pressure?” Richard asked, and seemed to be nervous already. “It’s normal,” the nurse informed.

“She has a fever?” Richard asked and the nurse said yes. “The fever is very high” she informed and Richard stood up, beckoning to Genesis to come along.

At the Dante family, Festus and Selina were having a discussion when Tayo Dante walked in. She looked unhappy and sat next to her mom.

“You look unhappy, is anything the matter, Tayo?” Selina asked and Tayo sighed. “Everything is the matter mom. I told you that I cannot be the second best to any man. But this man, Jace Hudson, isn’t interested in talking to me, ” she complained.

“Patient my daughter. It’s a gradual thing. You don’t expect him to clamour around you the first time you meet. You have to make him fall in love with you..”Selina advised.

“But how, mom, when he wouldn’t even answer my phone. He’s looked too distant for me” Tayo complained. Her parents have told her that she could always be in contact with Jace, but the fellow is making himself a scarce commodity.

“We will arrange a blind date between you both. My good friend Henry Hudson has assured me that his son would be my son in law and we are definitely going to share grandchildren” Festus Dante confidently declared.

Tayo blushed and smiled. This settles it. It’s amazing how much she dreams of being the only woman in Jace Hudson’s life. Such a cute handsome dude.

Selina Dante smiled at her daughter and pulled her into a side hug. Her daughter is the only woman worthy of Jace Hudson.

Richard stood up and went into the ICU and asked Genesis to come along with him. Genesis stood by the sidelines and watched as Richard examined the unconscious Arianna and prescribed some medication.

Soon the nurse injected some ampules of fluid into the intravenous fluid Arianna was being given. Richard seemed to examine other things that Genesis doesn’t know what it was and nodded.

Richard was pleased. The reaction Arianna was having was mild. Thank goodness, she’s a strong woman and was lucky to be saved.

“This woman here is my friend, she’s more like a family to me. You should report any observation to me. Even if it’s midnight, let me know anything you observe…” Richard instructed the nurse.

“Okay doctor,” The nurse replied and next added. “But Sir, how can we contact the patient’s relative?” She asked
