CHAPTER 11

Harrison was in the middle of the meeting when his phone began to buzz. He was about to swipe it off when he noticed it was Elijah's boss calling.

Without hesitation, he answered the call and excused himself for a moment.

"Harrison, Elijah is in the hospital right now. Nabalitaan kong dinala siya kanina dahil sa bigla nitong pagkahilo," sabi ng nasa kabilang linya.

Harrison's eyes widened in shock, and without a moment's hesitation, he bolted back to the conference room.

"Everyone, cancel the meeting. Something urgent has come up," he declared, his tone commanding, before swiftly exiting the room.

As he slid into his car, a surge of panic gripped him. He realized he had forgotten to ask Brimon which hospital Elijah was in. Just as he reached for his phone to call, a text message flashed across the screen, providing him with the crucial information.

With his heart pounding in his chest, Harrison drove as fast as he could, his mind racing with worry. Each passing second felt like an eternity as he raced towards the hospital, his determination fueling him like a scene from an action movie.

Fuck the law!

Harrison couldn't shake the feeling that Elijah had seemed unusually weak in the past few days, but he had brushed it off, attributing it to exhaustion from work.

Now, faced with the reality of Elijah being in the hospital, he cursed himself for his negligence. He should have checked up on him, asked about his health condition, instead of dismissing his concerns. The weight of his mistake hung heavy on his shoulders as he raced to Elijah's side, filled with regret and worry.

"Elijah Santos?" tanong niya sa nurse. Nihindi niya man lang nagawang batiin ito.

Nang mag-angat ng tingin ang nurse ay tila natulala ito. Fuck! Wala akong oras para dito!

"Cut the crap, miss. I need to know where Mr. Elijah Santos's room is," Harrison growled, his voice cutting through the air, drawing the attention of everyone in the vicinity.

He didn't care about the stares or the whispers. All that mattered was finding Elijah.

"Sorry, sir," sagot nito at mabilis na nag-type sa computer. "Nasa room 14, sir."

Mabilis na umalis si Harrison at hinanap ang room na sinabi ng nurse. Nang makita niya ito ay mabilis siyang pumasok. There was a doctor checking on Elijah as he slept peacefully.

"Are you his boyfriend?" the doctor asked directly, catching Harrison off guard.

"How did you know?" Harrison replied, panting slightly from his rush to Elijah's side and his concern for his health.

"Just a hunch," the doctor said with a small smile. "Take a seat first, you look like you just ran a marathon."

Following the doctor's suggestion, Harrison sank into the nearest chair, accepting a glass of water to quench his parched throat.

The doctor, a middle-aged man, perhaps in his forties or early fifties, continued the conversation. "Are you aware of your boyfriend's condition?" he asked calmly, taking a seat opposite Harrison.

"I'm ashamed to admit it, but no, doc," Harrison confessed, feeling utterly useless. How could he have missed something so important?

"You're not a terrible boyfriend," the doctor reassured him with a gentle smile. "This is very unexpected, even for me. I'm just as shocked by what I've discovered."

Kinakabahan siya sa sinabi ng doctor? As Harrison's mind raced with worry and overthinking, the doctor cut through the tension with a serious tone.

"I'm going to get straight to the point, Mister," the doctor said, handing Harrison an envelope.
