He's My Ruthless Billionaire

Chap. 8

Stella Parlor

    I felt the clutching of my left hand as I revived but when I opened my eyes, who I saw holding me in a deadly grip had me completely transfixed, "Le-on, wha-what are you doing here?"

    "Oh God Stella!" He raised his head looking at me, he looked restless and out of his mind.

    I looked around for a brief second only to realized that I was surrounded by the walls of a hospital room and then the accident started flooding back in. Oh my God!

    "Wha- where's Mona?" I asked tiredly but anxiously as panic shot into me. Waking up inside a hospital isn't the best feeling.

    "She's fine Stella, you're the one I'm worried about." He said with a depressed posture and I could see the worry on his face.

    "Um, do you know what happened?" I asked him as a throaty cough left me and I clutch my dry throat.

    He looked at me for a good while, "Do you want water? I could get you some." He said hastily but I stopped him.

    "I'm okay enough, so I'll live. D-do you know," I cleared my throat, "-what happened that landed me he-here?" I asked him once more.

    "I'm so sorry Stella. You don't know how much I care for you, if only you knew." He told me as he caressed my face, "I'm just so sorry." It seemed like he was on the verge of tears.

    I'm still wondering where Errin was and why wasn't he here. This was exactly why I couldn't bother involving myself in a relationship because I produce these high expectations. I looked at him and realized that a tear fell from his eyes.

    He ran his hands down my arm, "If only you knew." He kissed my cheeks.

    Whoa! Why was Leon behaving like this? I couldn't believe it. He has never been this affectionate towards me. He'd always act goofy and we would have a great laugh as we enjoyed each other company. He would tell me about his life and his current girlfriend, all the little basic stuffs.

    Waking up to see Leon beside of me looking so devastated was definitely something. I doubt if shock was to describe, how did he even know I was in the hospital?

    And where's Errin?

    I looked at my hands and saw that I had tubes injected all over, I looked up on the heart monitoring machine and felt panic.

    Am I that hurt?

    "Where's Errin?" I asked him as he sat on the stool beside of me staring like he had lost a precious gem. I tried to shift my body but the pain only magnified, I groaned and scrunched up my face in hurt.

    He shook his head and smiled faintly but I knew it was forced, he rubbed down my hair to which I'm sure was frizzed out, "Even when you're on a hospital bed, it's always about him." He muttered and swore before walking away to the door and when he looked back around sadness was evident in his eyes, "But to answer you're question, he's on his way caveman style." He said and walked out.

    I smiled at what he said about Errin but couldn't help the feeling of hopelessness that Leon coated the room with. He dealt with me so fragile and caring, he was so sweet. I've never seen him that way before he was always a carefree man no matter what.

    I saw the door burst open as Leon ran up to me and kissed my forehead, "Get well soon, my love." He let his lips lingered before sluggishly walking out once more.
