It happened over whiskey

Chapter 24

Ryan’s POV:

I carried her to the bedroom while Kyle called the family doctor. As soon as I rested her on the bed and took a breath, Celine came running inside the room and asked me, her voice dripping with panic, “What the hell happened to her?”

I glared at her while resting my hands on my waist and said angrily, “Isn’t that your fucking job to know about her whereabouts? She was at the bar drinking her ass off and you have absolutely no idea about it.” She looked at me with horror and zipped her mouth shut before leaving the room.

“Fuck it, man”, I said while throwing the vase lying on the table on to the floor. Samwell came running inside the room and caught my arm while saying, “Now is not the time for this, Ryan. Handle yourself. The doctor will be here any minute and you need to calm down.”

I rubbed my face with both my hands before calling for one of my servants and ordering him to clean the mess that I had caused. Just at the right moment, our family doctor Mr. Brown entered the room with a smile on his face.

“Hello, Mr. Parker! What caused you to call me at this time of the hour?”, he said while extending his hand. I shook his hand before replying, “Khloe was found unconscious at the bar after consuming a lot of alcohol. I just want you to check if she is fine and nothing is that serious.”

He took a seat next to the bed on a table and started inspecting Khloe before ordering the others to leave the room. He checked her pulse and turned towards me before saying, “I am giving her an injection that will make sure that even if she is infected by alcohol poisoning, it doesn’t cause much trouble. I am also going to need her blood sample for inspecting the level of alcohol in her blood and then accordingly I can give her the required treatment.”

I just nodded at him and replied, before pushing my hands in my pockets, “Do whatever you need to do. Just make sure that she is fine.” After another ten minutes, the doctor stood up from his seat and said to me, “I will ask my assistant to get the results in an hour and I will call you to let you know what are the results. Till that time, make sure to keep her hydrated. Get some water inside.”

I shook his hand again and with that he left. I sat down on the edge of the bed and rested my hands on my elbows before looking at Khloe.

I had so many questions for her. Why was she at the bar in the very first place?

I was actually shocked to see her this intoxicated because honestly, I have never in my life see Khloe crossing a digestible amount when it comes to alcohol. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a woman shouting.

“Ryan! What the fuck have you done to my daughter”, the woman screamed from outside. I immediately recognized her voice as Khloe’s mother.

I looked at Khloe one more time before taking a deep breath and making my way out. Samwell was talking to her calmly but she was still screaming as if she had a secret motive to wake the entire city.

“What is it, Rose?”, I asked her while walking towards her, my hands in my pockets. She was wearing a white shirt tucked in her red skirt, the extraordinary Rose, just like her daughter.

Her heels matched the colour of her skirt and she held a white clutch in her hand. Her hairs were put up in a bun while red lips decorated her face, making her look like the mother of a model.

“Where is Khloe?”, she asked me while gritting her teeth. “In the bedroom. She is unconscious”, I said while looking in the direction of my bedroom.

She huffed before asking again, her voice rising by a decibel, “What did you do to her this time, Ryan? She never gets this drunk and no matter how ignorant you are about her, I am sure you know this.” I looked at Samwell once and he nodded in my direction.
