Bitter sweet affair

Chapter 74 - Connection

"Call an ambulance" he ordered his driver as he strode out of the car and rushed to where the cab was. He pulled an unconscious Amelia out, she had bruises with sharp glasses pierced into her skin.

He held her in his arms as an ambulance approached them. A stretcher carried Amelia into the first ambulance and then the driver of the cab into another ambulance.

Andre sat in the ambulance with Amelia. He'd told his driver to follow behind. He was scared, he couldn't help but blame himself. If he hadn't hurt her so badly she wouldn't have refused his ride, then she wouldn't be in an ambulance. If anything happens to her, he wouldn't forgive himself.

They arrived at the hospital and Andre pushed the stretcher in and she was taken into an operating theatre.

He panicked outside. He didn't know what to do, he kept pacing back and forth anxiously. The doctor came out and approached him, he was hoping to hear good news but it was too soon, she entered barely minutes ago.

"She needs blood. She's lost a lot of blood and her blood type, unfortunately, we don't have it in the blood bank. If you could call a relative we'll begin the operation"

He ran his hands nervously through his hair, how was he going to contact her relatives?
"Sir," his driver said interrupting his thoughts.
"I found the lady's purse," his driver said and a sigh of relief was drawn on his face but it disappeared. What if her phone was locked? Or lost at the scene? He couldn't help but think.

He took the purse from his driver and found her phone, thankfully it was unlocked.
She had missed calls from my number one sister. There were lots of heart emojis attached to it. It was obvious to him that she was Amelia's sister.

He took a deep breath and called.
It rang twice and then an angry voice came through.
"Where did you dump your phone, Reyna Neil? I know you warned me not to call you that but I'm enraged. How-
"I'm sorry, I'm her boss. Amelia has been in an accident and she's in urgent need of blood. I'll text you the hospital address. Hurry over" he said and disconnected the call.

Reyna Neil and Amelia Jones? What was the connection between them?
The names kept ringing in his head. He informed the doctor that her sister would arrive soon and he left. He knew Amelia wouldn't want to see him and he decided to leave. He had his driver stay at the hospital to update him on Amelia.

On his way home he couldn't stop thinking about the connection between Reyna Neil- his ex-wife and Amelia Jones. He parked his car at the side of the road. He had an eerie feeling and he put a call across to a friend of his in the police department.

"Hey, can I ask you for a favor?" he directly asked.
" "Hey, Dave. How have you been?" I'm fine, Andre" he mocked.
"I'm sorry. Can I ask for a favor?"
"Sure, go ahead" he sighed.
"Could you look into something for me? I promise it's nothing that'll get you in trouble. I just need to know what connects Reyna Neil and Amelia Jones. Could you do that for me?"
"Sure but you owe me one."

"I know, just help me" he pleaded.
"Fine. How are these women connected to you?" he couldn't help but ask.
"I'll let you know when you get me information about their connection. Talk to you then" he said and disconnected the call.
