Tempted by the Hot Stranger

CH | 56

"Mayra," Esha called while concern was visible on her face and Mayra squinted her eyes while she stared at Esha puzzled.

Eyeing Mayra's red and swollen face, Esha was alarmed and queried, "Are you alright?"

Mayra gulped hard and managed to nod with a little difficulty but Esha wasn't convinced and she mumbled, "You don't look well to me, Mayra. You better go home and take a rest for the day. We can continue the investigation some other time. Anyhow, I found that unknown female, and I think I can handle it."

Hearing her words, Mayra muttered softly, but her voice was so hoarse that made Esha worried, "Thank you and sorry for the trouble, Miss Rathore."

Esha waved her hands in dismissal, "Don't say that. You shouldn't thank me for this. At least not when I'm responsible for the mess you're in."

Mayra parted her lips to say something but ended up coughing and choking on her saliva when Esha's eyes widened. She patted Mayra's back while she couldn't help but yell at Mayra, "What's wrong with you? Let me call Ishaan."

"No need." Mayra said, but it was too late as the call went by, and Esha stated hurriedly, "Ishaan, I think Mayra isn't well."

But apart from that, Mayra didn't hear a thing as the buzzing sound in her ears didn't let her do so until the call ended.

Esha turned to Mayra and mumbled, "he said he will be here in ten minutes. Why don't you sit and relax?"

Mayra sighed and nodded as she certainly didn't have the energy to argue, not when she was feeling itchy all over her body, and the dizziness was keeping her occupied, while the urge to puke wasn't going away either.

Seeing how Mayra's face was becoming redder and swollen with each passing second, Esha was frightened and placed her hand on Mayra's forehead and yelled instantly, "You're burning up, Mayra. Why didn't you say that earlier?"

But Mayra was barely conscious and didn't bother to reply when Esha sent a text message to Ishaan, "She has a high fever it seems. I'm taking her to First People's Hospital."

With that done, Esha put her mobile in her handbag and held Mayra's shoulders while she carefully walked out and made Mayra sit in the car.

Esha put on Mayra's seatbelt and started the car hastily as she was scared that something was wrong with Mayra all of a sudden.

By the time she was at the hospital, Mayra unlocked the car door and puked her guts out when Ishaan almost ran to her and grabbed her hair to prevent it from falling on her face while she was throwing up and patted her back soothingly.

He couldn't help but ask in worry, "What happened, Kitten?"

"I...I'm alright." Mayra muttered and Ishaan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In the next second, Mayra collapsed in his embrace and his jaw dropped in shock. He quickly patted her cheeks but Mayra didn't give any response and he yelled, "Doctor."

But when no one came to assist her immediately, his face turned so cold and he lifted her in his arms, and took her in while Esha followed, "will she be alright?"

"She will and she has to," Ishaan growled making Esha startled, but she curled her lips upwards and nodded.

In the midway, the doctor and nurses came by and placed Mayra on the stretcher and took her to the Emergency ward when Ishaan asked, "What's wrong with her, doctor?"

Eyeing Mayra, the doctor pursed his lips and mumbled, "Let me run a few tests on her. Then I can give you an answer."

Having no choice, Ishaan clenched his hands into fists and stood outside when the doctor closed the curtains in the ER and shut the door, making Ishaan and Esha even more tense.
