THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

“Which baby is growing inside of me? What are you talking about, doctor?”, Ellie asked, with a shaky voice, not wanting to believe what the doctor had said, although, it was the reality. Noticing how tensed the situation was and Ellie was about creating a scene,

Kevin intervened.

“Don’t worry, doctor. I will explain everything to her. Ellie, be calm. We will sort this out. I promise”, Kevin said, trying to calm Ellie down and assured her. When the doctor and the nurses finally left, Kevin had sat Ellie down. He explained to her what

the doctor had told him, right in the presence of Carla. Carla, who had no idea of this before, was shocked and felt pity for Ellie. Ellie, upon listening to Kevin attentively and hearing all what he had said, didn’t know how to react at first. She just sat

still, looking into the space, as if she was trying to process what she had heard. When the reality sank in, all she could do was to laugh like a crazy woman.

“You are joking right?”, Ellie asked, laughing like a mad woman.

“Calm down, Ellie. We will get through this together”, Kevin said, when he noticed she wasn’t taking the matter lightly.

“Calm down? Do you know the gravity of what we are talking about right now?”, Ellie yelled at Kevin, getting up from where she was sitting, with a fierce look on her face. Both Kevin and Carla had never seen that other side of her, which got them worried about

what she was up to.

“Ellie, be calm. Let’s resolve this amicably. You will be fine”, Carla said, following her from behind as she walked, trying to calm her down.

“I will be fine? With all these happening to me? No, I don’t think so”, Ellie said, yelling and laughing at the same time. In no time, she began to disorganize the room, throwing away the things she could lay her hands on.

“Ellie, I know it hurts but you need to calm yourself down. We can only find a solution to this issue if you are in a sound state of mind. Let’s solve this problem together, please”, Kevin said in a pleading voice, which could have been mistaken for that of

love and care. It seemed like what he said touched Ellie, as she stopped and became calm. She walked to the corner of the ward where she curled herself up, staring at the wall, as if she was communicating with it. No matter the number of times both Kevin and

Carla spoke to her, she never responded.

“Ellie, are you fine?”, Kevin said, touching her, only for his hand to be yanked off by her.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“I am fine. I just want to be alone”, Ellie said, gesturing for both Carla and Kevin to leave her alone. They both left, leaving her all alone to her thoughts. She cried for hours, not knowing what to do with a child she never planned to have, growing up in

her womb. She wondered why life had been so unfair to her. She had been really unlucky since the death of her mother. She questioned why she was still leaving, when life had been so unbearable for her.

Both Carla and Kevin left Ellie in her ward, but upon getting back there, she was nowhere to be found. They both got worried, wondering where she had gone. They went in search of her, but she seemed to be nowhere around the hospital premises. The nurses were

notified and upon checking the CCTV, she was sighted walking out of the hospital. They went in search of her outside the hospital but couldn’t get a sight of her in time. She was finally seen crossing the road aimlessly, with her not minding the horn coming

from various cars, trying to make her leave the road, so they could pass. She seemed to have been in another world of hers, as she neither budged nor paid attention. A car was approaching at a fast speed, which Kevin seemed to have caught a glimpse of. He

tried calling Ellie’s attention to the approaching car, but she didn’t pay attention. In no time, the car got close to her, hitting her so hard. She laid motionless on the floor with her eyes wide opened. The expression on her face was not that of pain, but

that of satisfaction. She seemed to be happy to have been hit by a car, as she thought she would finally reunite with her mother and find her long lost peace. With a smile on her face, she closed her eyes, losing her consciousness and waiting for the cold

hands of death to take her away.

She was rushed to the hospital and an urgent surgery was carried out on her, as it was required. Both Carla and Kevin waited outside the operating room, waiting for the doctor to come out. Upon seeing the doctor exiting, Kevin rushed to meet him.

“Doctor, how is she now?”, Kevin asked, feeling concerned and anxious now.

“She and her baby are fine now but I am afraid she has fallen into a coma. While in the operating room, we tried our best to save her life, but she seems to have given up on living. But luckily for us, we were able to do so. She seems to have lost her will

to live and the only thing we can do right now, is for us to wait for her to wake up. Hopefully, she will. We will keep a tab on her for now and also keep trying our best to make her wake up”, the doctor announced, making both Kevin and Carla worried, unsure

of Ellie’s future.

Days went and weeks went by, but Ellie still didn’t wake up. The siblings kept on hoping and willing for her to wake up, while praying to God to bring her back to life. It seemed like God heard their prayers as Ellie opened her eyes, 6 weeks, after being in

coma.
