Miss Independent (BWWM - Book # 1 / Complete)

Chapter 43 - Who Did This?!

Grayson's POV

"Layla, I know what happened. Bliss told me on our first date that she was highly allergic to seafood and could die. Someone in this arena put seafood in what Bliss ate before the show!"

"Bliss, baby, wake up!"

"SOMEONE CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE NOW!!"

"Who would do that to Bliss?!"

"I promise you we will find out."

Bliss's friends ran onto the stage. Bliss suddenly started shaking violently. I looked at her face and hands; they had swollen since she fainted.

The on-site doctor ran on the runway. "She is going into shock! Where is that ambulance?! We need to get her to a hospital fast!! Does anyone have an EpiPen or something?!!"

"Bliss is highly allergic to seafood!"

"That explains why she is violently shaking and the swelling in her face and hands."

Someone ran over with an EpiPen. "I have one!" The person handed it to the doctor, and he stuck Bliss with the pen.

Livid and hurt are the best words to describe my emotions. I finally have the woman of my dreams, and this is what happens?! Whoever did this to Bliss will pay!

Bliss' shaking came down some, but she still is shaking. "Please, don't die!!!!"

Several paramedics came up on the runway, gently picked Bliss up, and placed her on the stretcher. "I'm riding with her."

"I'll go too, Grayson!" Andrea and I followed the paramedics out to the ambulance. "We are taking her to Bayhealth General Hospital! Let's go!" Bliss was then rushed out of the arena.

Shane's POV

In horror, I watched Bliss fall to the ground like all of her energy was sucked out of her in an instant. And I couldn't do anything about it. Who in this building knew about her seafood allergy to do this?!

I need to find out who is blackmailing me and who did this soon. I know Bliss is dating Grayson, but I want her back in my life, like now, whether we are associates or even friends. A part of me still doesn't trust Grayson. But at least he's shown how much he cares for Bliss.

Nobody knew I was here. But I had to come to see Bliss in her first fashion show. I looked over to where the family was sitting, and they were heartbroken and in tears. Layla, Kam, Jessica, Braelyn, and Carly were hysterical. Devin saw that Kam was in tears, so he was sad too. My mum and even my father were in tears. How could anyone in this building not be in tears? It was even broadcast on The Fashion Channel.

Please, I hope they can save Bliss. She can't die. She doesn't deserve this.

***********

Grayson's POV

Andrea and I both had tears as Bliss was rushed into the emergency room. Now, here comes the hard part, waiting to hear if she will be okay.

I hope she doesn't die. We can't lose her! Bliss means the world to me, and I was glad she asked me to date her.

Bliss has never done anything to anyone. She always looks for opportunities to help others.

"Why would somebody do this to her, Grayson? I'm sick of people hurting my sister."

"I believe with all my heart that Alexander did this to Bliss. He must have disguised himself and mixed seafood into Bliss's dinner."

Layla, her daughter, and her husband rushed into the waiting room.
