Alyona Desteen's POV
It was probably the scariest thing that happened in my whole life. The moment I laid her down on my bed, I called a doctor friend of mine to have her checked, because I wasn't functioning well.
I knew how to aid someone. I always knew what I needed to do when things like this happen. But I... I was so not in myself. I wasn't in myself that moment. I was just looking at her, not knowing what to do. I couldn't move, I couldn't utter a single word.
I don't even know how I managed to call a friend, or how I managed to carry her to bring her inside my pad.
Looking at her makes me feel so bad. I wish I didn't let her go. I wish I knew what was happening around her. I wish I knew this would happen.
There were lots of wish... I would've... I should've... how can I tell someone I like this person when I couldn't even save her in times like this? Was I really a lawyer? Was I really a doctor? Do I really like her?
I feel so useless. How can I let this happen? I was with her! She was with us almost the whole day! How come... how come in a single emergency, she would end up like this?
"She lost consciousness because of vertigo, Alyona. Maybe, she've been experiencing dizziness or so. Meanwhile, her bruises, they looked really fresh... like someone had just beaten her up. Based on my observations... this is not just from a mere hit or bump, I believe this is a hit using a bat or something tougher than that."
"Did she... uhm, what about her head? Did she have an injury or what?" I asked further.
"Thankfully, she didn't hit her head on the ground. Though, there is a possibility for her knee to experience an injury if proven that it is hit by a bat. I suggest to look after her... she might have a hard time walking because of it." with teary eyes, I nodded. "You know what to do, Aly... you should calm down. It'll be better soon. Just wait for her to wake up, and then tell her the do's and don'ts, okay?" I nodded again, for it is the only thing I could manage to do.
When the doctor left, I can't help but to shed a tear. It was not a nice thing to see... especially that it was me to see her earlier. I was so worried, so I asked Ash about her address, and then I felt uneasy, I felt something negative.
And it was this.
I sat beside her, leaving enough space between us. I looked at her forehead, down to her lips, and then her arms that are also covered in bruises and dried blood. I barely touched it, scared that I might wake up the fragile girl.
She was so fragile right now, like a mirror that could break any second. That moment, I was already having a hunch about it, but I didn't want to assume. I wanted to know about what happened to come from her.
"No wonder why I was feeling so nervous..." I said, not minding my voice quivering. "Please, wake up... seeing you like this hurts me."
I was hesitating whether to call Ash to tell her about this, or call my Mom and Dad to tell them that I would be taking a leave both at the University and the firm. I didn't want to leave her here, all I wanted was to take care or her and find out who did this... or what really happened to her.
I honestly don't think that it was not an emergency why she had to go home early. She was just having fun, and then a few hours later, she'd end up like this. If this is her definition of emergency, then... I don't want her experiencing another emergency.
Judging from her family name, there is a possibility that it is because of her father's opponents. Adelstein does ring a bell, and I just hope that this is not because of her father's job. Basing on Adelstein's lifestyle, I bet she didn't want the people to know that she was her dad's daughter. Moreover, it wasn't revealed to the media that Kaleb Adelstein has an heiress, so I think it wasn't because of her father's occupation.
