The Billionaire's heart (The Billionaire Love #3 )

Chapter 17

Brother and sister

The only good thing happen was Miss Morgan didn't question me about anything, she just followed the instruction and drove towards the hospital. She parked the car and I didn't even wait for her help. I almost ran towards the elevator door. "Slow down Sam, you are going to hurt yourself." I heard her frantic voice. But did I listen? No because right now the only thing that mattered was my sister. And her whereabouts is something I wanted to find out.

"I had a patient here Olyphant? Pregnant and probably had an accident?" The receptionist looked at me "Yes, brought in just a few minutes earlier she is in surgery, try the second floor and then to the left." "Thank you," It was the all I managed to say before running again. As I reached the second floor, I frantically begin searching for them.

Moments later I saw Ezra pacing. And Lucian was settled in a corner saying nothing. Both of them looked tensed and broken. Ezra looked at me and came towards me. "Sam" He hugged me. Lucian on the other hand stayed put. I think he is one of the persons who likes to keep his troubles to himself.

"I tried to save her; I shouldn't have left her on her own. How can I know she will fall and hurt herself? Only if she didn't tell me to go, only if I had stayed." "But you didn't because no matter what you say Ezra, your business was always the first priority in your life." I heard Lucian say. He was quite till now. But these two brothers have common point of disagreement that is my sister.

They both love her; one is however is her husband and other is just victim of the cruelty of love. I can understand Lucian's pain very well but some people are meant to be. "I didn't mean to hurt her." Lucian stood up and said quietly "You never meant to hurt her but you always do still that girl loves you. Tell me if anything changes, I will be downstairs in cafeteria god knows how much I need that coffee now."

After he left I told Ezra "He didn't look happy" "No, he didn't but then if the girl you love with all your heart was fighting for her life you too will wonder if it was you not someone else maybe this will never happen because you will not have let it happen, because no one can love her more than you." I squeezed his shoulder. Lucian had many people in his life Ezra on the other hand have none, other than my sister. This is something Lucian needs to understand.

"Ezra, we all know how much you love her" He looked at me with teary eye "Do I? sometimes I think Lucian is right and I am not the right one for her. Look what I did now, only of I haven't gone, left her alone. Maybe I should have called someone then it wouldn't have happened. Lucian is right it is all my fault. I was the responsible one. I should have been more careful about how I treat her."

"Ezra it is not that, you are good for her, yes you had your moments, your differences, but the most important thing is you have loved her. And you still do, and that is what you should be focusing on. Have faith she will be alright." I told Ezra. "How is she?" I looked at Miss Morgan who somehow found her way to us. "Still in surgery" I told her. "If you want the insights may be, I can help. I know some doctors here" Do I even want to know which doctors she knew? "Alright, you do that I cam going to go and check on other companion"

I took the elevator down the cafeteria. I entered and saw him sitting alone. "Came to mock me King?" I smiled same old Lucian. "No Night, not today." I sat beside him. "One cup for me too. And keep that on my Tab" Lucian looked at me. "I am partner of this establishment. And that is why I called in the best team of doctors I can in short time don't look surprise I don't name my every establishment after me"

He took another sip. "I never knew you were charity type King, I thought you were guy next door kind of person." He said. "And you are what mysterious type? That is why everyone likes you Night? But let me tell you this one thing there are things about me no one knows. Not even my sister, not even Katie, and she is the closest person to me." He chuckled. "So, you are the mysterious one then? Is that why you got shot at the wedding? "He asked. "No, I actually kind of ran away with his daughter, that was Katie. And he was my father's business associate."

I looked at the swirls of the crème inside the cup "Looks like this sentence is fitting him well that you can judge a man by the company he keeps. My father certainly knows how to chose them." "I think rotten luck runs among us too. How you holding up?" He asked. "Depends on about whom you are asking, my life in general, my love life which is by the way non existent or my sister's condition?" I asked.

"Rosa, how are you holding up?" "Not much better than you, I have gotten her back after so many years, now I don't think I am ready to lose her again. Now or ever, Lucian I love my sister. She is my soulmate and seeing her like this is ripping my soul apart piece by piece and there is nothing that I could do to prevent that." There is nothing in that sentence that was a lie. "But you know that man up there he loves her to Lucian. Maybe she is your love but for him she is his life. And you are wrong to say that he prioritizes his business above her. It is not even his business anymore. It is Rosa's. He gave her his everything, that he can give."

"I didn't know that he did." "because he kept it a secret, something had happened and he feared that someone might just be working against him and he was right Natasha was working against them. And now..." I paused. Maybe Lucian is the only one who can help me with this situation. I am afraid it is because of me my sister had been in this situation. "Now what? What are you hiding King? You look spooked. Tell me what had happened?" he asked me.

"It is just that I am afraid that this is not where it is going to end. I am afraid that this is all just a beginning," "Don't talk in puzzle King, I am not in mood to decipher it." He told me clearly impatient. "After Ezra called, I got a text, contents of which I didn't liked much." I took out my phone and showed him the text. "What he meant by the deal? What you did King? Who is it? Who had harmed Rosa?" "My father"

"What? Are you sure? Didn't he disappear from the face of the earth few years back?" I smiled "Only I know how my father can get. He is getting old but certainly have some tricks up his sleeves." "Well we have to get to know all those tricks before he comes after the child." I shied "The only option that I can see is I accept his terms and let him rule my life once again. But then again Rosa is my sister there is nothing I cannot do for her." He looked at me wide eyed.

"Not an option King, keep it as a last resort. For now, let's just try and trap him into confessing his crimes." I know my father very well he will never ever let himself fail and if he saw Lucian as a threat, he will not hesitate to eliminate him. I have seen him do many awful things, and I do not wish to lose Lucian for that. "don't worry I will find a way; I always do for now let's jus focus on protecting Rosa and her child speaking of which we should return back." He nodded and walked out of the café and I followed behind.

It had been hours since we got here by now other people of our group knows about this, and they were here to support Ezra and Me. Myra hugged me. "She will be alright Sam, I promise." She told me. I hope so too that she be alright. The operation had ended and she was shifted to ICU, Ezra stood there looking inside through the glass. I cannot see him like this broken. It reminds me so much of myself.

The nurse came and gave us another bad news. Yes, Ezra had became a father indeed but as it became clear that it was apparently not the case, we all rushed to the paediatric department and towards the neonatal ICU. She had given birth to a girl child but she wasn't doing good either. I looked at Dr. Iris Morgan who was talking to the team. So here she is.

Her eyes met mine and she looked at the baby. I walked towards her little glass casing. I fell in love, if love at first sight existed, she is the definition of that. Her small pink wrinkly self-wrapped in pink towel was enough to melt my heart. I knew then that I have to do everything in my power to ensure that she is safe even if I have to fight with my father I will.

"How is she?" I asked Iris. "Stable for now. But we have to keep her in observation." I nodded. "you are a paediatrician are you not Miss Morgan?" She nodded. "I as a partner of this hospital chain want to appoint you as personal care taker of my niece." "Then who will take care of you?" she asked. "I can take care of myself Miss Morgan. You do not need to babysit me. Yes, I will call the in-house doctor if I had any discomfort but right now My niece needs you more than me."

"But..." "No Miss Morgan, I have employed you not the other way around, don't try and go the other way Miss Morgan. You will do as I say and you will personally report her daily progress to me did you get that?" She didn't said a word after that.

Iris is important to me, because I love her. But My sister always had been much more important than anyone. And right now they need her more than I can.
