THE BILLIONAIRE'S CHOICE

CHAPTER 17

Ivy widened her eyes and she ran back to the restaurant. Darien didn't know who Emily was but he knew the person was  special to Ivy. He ran with Ivy and they went to the restaurant.

Ivy saw Emily on the floor and she was lying unconscious, everybody were tapping her but she wasn't waking up. Ivy screamed and ran to Emily. She put Emily on her laps and she joined them in tapping her. Ivy was crying and she kept saying Emily's name but she wasn't responding.

"Somebody call the ambulance." Ivy was crying and she was begging for help.

Darien took his phone and he called the ambulance. After two minutes, the ambulance came and they took Emily in. Ivy entered the ambulance and she stayed inside with Emily and the doctor was there.

Darien entered his car and he followed the ambulance. He didn't know who Emily was but he didn't like seeing ivy in this situation. He drove as fast as he could to be in the same paste with the ambulance. The ambulance stopped in front of  GGF hospital.

Darien packed his car and he got out. He saw the doctors taking Emily on a stretcher and Ivy followed them. The girl he saw was the girl that followed Ivy to the club the other day.

He ran and met with Ivy. Ivy didn't even notice his presence, she ran inside the hospital and she kept crying. She was following the doctors as they were moving Emily. The doctors took Emily into the room and they didn't allow Ivy to enter.

Darien went to Ivy and he didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry she's gonna be fine." Darien tried his best to convince her but she kept crying.

"I told her not to drink but she never listen to me." Ivy faced Darien and she was speaking parables to him.

He knew she wasn't in a right state of mind and she was just talking. She was still crying and she kept speaking parables.

"Calm down, calm down." Darien held her hands with his and he tried his best to calm her down.

She managed and she was able to calm down. He used his right hand to clean her tears and he hugged her again.

She felt very comfortable and she forgot all her worries. She finally calmed down and she cleaned her face.

They stop hugging and they sat on the waiting chair. They waited for more than an hour until the doctor came out.

"How's she?" Ivy stood and see was very curious.

"She drank too much and it affected her baby. And she hasn't been taking care of herself at all. She's stressing herself too much." The doctor explained.

"Pregnant?" Darien stood from his seat and walked to the doctor, "she's pregnant?"

Ivy turned to him and she nodded.

Darien was very surprised because of the way she was behaving in the party. She was completely wasted and she was also pregnant.

"Doctor is she going to be fine?" Ivy faced the doctor.

"Yes she is, but she is still unconscious." The doctor replied, "and also get her this medications."

The doctor gave her a paper and he walked away. She checked the paper and she strained her eyes to see the doctor's handwriting.

"Will you please follow me?" She asked facing him.

He smiled and nodded. The two of them were walking together side by side and none of them uttered a word.

"I'm sorry and thank you for today." Ivy spoke calmly and she really meant it.

"What do you mean?" Darien asked and he smiled a little.

"Sorry for being a disturbance to you and thank you for being there for me when I was crying." Ivy replied and they kept walking side by side.

"What are you saying?" Darien was trying to convince her that he really did it willing. "Don't worry and forget about it."

She smiled and they kept walking. The hospital pharmacy was not far from the hospital, it was like a five minutes walk. They left the hospital and were walking to the pharmacy.

"Sorry but may I ask why you were crying?" Ivy remembered the incident and she didn't know what to tell him and she couldn't lie to him.

"U_m well I d_on't." Ivy was stammering and was sounding so stupid.

"If you don't want to tell me, you really don't have to do it." Ivy was already feeling bad.

"I was reminded about the past." She sighed and looked him, "some set of people made me realize that I was an orphan."

Darien was so disheartened and he felt so bad for her. He paused and faced her. He dragged her and he hugged her again.

"I want you to know that you are not alone." He hugged her tightly and he was patting her back slowly. She smiled and she wrapped her hands around him.

Ivy had completely forgotten that he was her boss and she forgot all her worries and just hugged like they shared a special relationship.

Lilly and Drake entered the Maccurly mansion again and he saw his father again. Lilly adviced Drake to apologize to his father and beg him to not give Darien the position. Lilly had no other option than this. Drake had disagree, but she managed and persuaded him.

Drake had bandage around his head, the injury had not gone ever since Darien had beating him up. If the security did not drag him that day, he wasn't going to be alive and hopefully, Darien would have been in jail.

Drake sighed and he entered the house. They saw his father sitting on the couch and reading newspaper. They walked to him and they sat opposite him.

"Good morning dad." His voice was shaking and he managed to compose himself.

Williams looked and he wasn't surprised to see his son. Williams sighed and he continued reading his paper.

"Father I have come here to apologize." Drake was trying his best but his father seemed uninterested. "Father I am so sorry and I promise you that such an incident won't occur here again."

"Why are you truly here?" Williams voice deepened and he really wanted his son to leave him.

Williams never got a visit from Darien. Darien never came for a visit, not even once. He only came when it was a matter of business or an emergency family meeting that was related to business. But instead it was his other useless son that came almost everyday.

"Father, please don't give Darien that position." Drake folded his hands and was pleading like a kid, "if you do that, my life is going to be ruined. You know the relationship we have, it is a very toxic one and Darien is not going to give him anything ."

His father sighed and continued with his newspaper again.

"Father!" Drake screamed and stood. "I am talking to you and you are ignoring me, have you gone mad?!"

Williams was so shocked. He dropped his newspaper and stood. He walked to Darien and he replied him with a hot slap that made Drake to fall to the ground.
