The accident

Chapter sixty-nine
Jayde
I open my eyes slowly, my memory blur.
I turn on the bed. I look around and realize I'm alone on the bed.
I feel like shit already. My body is sending a hurt signal from the middle of my legs.
I look at my body, at the blanket on my body.
Then memories of last night fash back. I remember vividly what I had asked for. Even when Henry stopped, I forced him to continue.
I know what I was signing for. This will actually be the last time I will ever be with him. So, I'm not going to regret it at all.
It's what I have always wanted. It doesn't matter if we will be separated today. I feel good doing it with Henry.
I manage to sit. Where the heck has Henry gone to. He was still supposed to be with me.
Well, I have to plan for the divorce. The papers should arrive today. I just need to go through with the court proceeding.
Gosh, I don't feel like getting a divorce. But there's nothing I can do about it.
I manage to walk out of bed.
Soaking myself in a warm bath is what I need at this moment.
I stay in the bath for a long time, mesmerizing on my first and the last night with Henry.
When I walk out of the bathroom, it was already a few minutes after nine.
I send a text message to Henry before I proceed to dress up. I wear a black dress with a stiletto.
I take my bag and walk downstairs. My stomach rumbles in the process.
I see one of the maids dishing out the food but Henry is nowhere to be.
I walk to her, "Hi, good morning. Where's Henry?"
"Good morning," she replies, " Well, he left so earlier this morning."
I nod briefly and sit to eat.
The TV was on and a news program was ongoing.
I look down at the breakfast of macaroni and cheese. I feel so sick this morning. I don't think I can even have macaroni.
I don't take this kind of food whenever I feel so weak.
"One of the Ayles' billionaire was involved in a serious accident."
My sense cleared, my heart made a sudden thud.
I run into the living room and stare hard at the image on TV.
"Henry got involved in a car accident. He has been rushed to the hospital but the eyes witness said it was so serious."
I stare wide at the image of Henry's car ruined already.
"OMG!" I scream before I could stop myself.
The maid from the earlier rushes in, " Is something wrong?"
She looks ahead and gasps, "Oh my God, how did this happen."
I check for the hospital he was taken to. I rush back to the dining area, take my bag and rush out of the house again.
I can't believe this happened to Henry. How could it have happened?
My heart continues to beat very madly in my chest. I pray silently that nothing happens to him. Gosh, nothing must happen to him.
I give the driver his money and rush out of the car again.
My body aches but that's far from what I'm currently bothered about. Nothing bad must happen to Henry.
Gosh, it mustn't.
When I walk to the receptionist, I was taken in.
The first person I see is Weston, then Henry's father.
I walk closer, "What happened to Henry? Is he going to be alright?" I ask but even my heavy heartbeat didn't allow me to be able to think through.
I'm just talking as if the words were being placed in my mouth.
"He's in the unconscious state. He's not responding right now!" Weston says.
Henry's father gives him a serious glare, " You don't talk like that," he told him but it was too late.
It was like someone was drawing me into unconsciousness.
Someone grabs me suddenly. I can hear several screams and my name was being mentioned.
How did this happen? Why is Henry not responding to treatment? Why is he in an unconscious state?
Is he going to die?
A serious headache set in. I shudder uncontrollably as I close my eyes, falling into total darkness.
