Eric gets out of the car and wait for Craig to do the same. Craig locks the doors and starts walking towards an elevator. The underground parking area is very dark and Eric has to keep a close eye on Craig to see where he is going. Craig walks straight to what looks like a solid wall from what Eric can make out. The closer they get to the wall; Eric can barely make out a steel frame. Craig pushes a button that lights up very dimly.Eric can hear the elevator doors open but he cannot see much. This must be why this parking area goes fairly undetected. It is too dark to really do anything down here. Eric walks into the elevator behind Craig and stands to one side until he can feel the steel railing behind him. The doors close and an overhead light up very dimly.As the elevator ascends, the light in the elevator roof increases its brightness very slowly. Eric appreciates this effort for his eyes to gradually adjust to light again. When the elevator reaches the top floor, the light is li

Eric pulls his buzzing phone out of his pocket. It is a call from the mansion.“Yes?” he answers coldly.“Sir, it is Agatha. Your father has fallen ill. He has been admitted to hospital.” Agatha states in her cold professional manner. Eric knows instinctively that Bennet would now be in the same hospital as where Ally is admitted.“Thank you.” Eric says before ending the call. He is not really interested in why Bennet has fallen ill. He cannot really remember his father ever being admitted to hospital. It is not something that has ever happened before. His father was always too stubborn to go to hospital for whatever the reason may be. He usually had a doctor on call that would attend to him at home.“I have to go check on Ally. Please keep me updated.” Eric says and turns towards the elevator. Craig is next to him in seconds to escort him out of the building.“We tracked Alex number. He is currently on the move. We will let you know as soon as we got hold of him.” Gareth tells Eric a

Ally is taken to a room where there are special monitors to check her vitals as she comes out of her coma. The room could also double as an operating theatre should they have to perform any emergency procedures on her during this time.The doctor checks that all the vitals are stable. He needs to report to Eric. The man will not be able to handle not knowing where his wife is and what is happening to her.The doctor walks into the room where Eric is waiting. He takes a seat next to Eric and waits for Eric to pay attention to him. Eric is sitting in his seat and staring at the TV in front of him, clearly not seeing anything that is showing on the TV. Eric slowly turns his head towards the doctor and waits for him to talk.“Mrs Symons is waking up. We have moved her to the monitor room to see if there are any complications as she wakes up. Thus far everything seems to be just fine. We expect her to be fully awake by the end of the day. You will be able to talk to her as soon as she is f

Eric answers the call as soon as he gets to his phone. Whenever the hospital calls, he gets an anxious feeling in his chest. At first it was only Ally in the hospital, but later the calls could have been about Alex or Bennet that was admitted in the same hospital. Eric knows that Bennet is discharged because he ambushed him in his own office.He is not an emergency contact for Alex, but he did ask to be kept in the loop on his condition. He did not receive any calls regarding Alex yet. Thankfully.The woman on the other side of the call greets Eric in a friendly manner.“Mr Symons. I am only calling to inform you that Mrs Symons has been discharged by her physician and will be ready to go home in a bit. Would you like us to keep her comfortable until morning?”“No, I will come to collect her in a few minutes. Thank you.” Eric ends the call and heads to his bedroom to get dressed. He dresses quickly and leaves for the hospital as soon as he is done.Eric dreads seeing Bennet’s car at t

Eric is slightly worried as he walks away from the manager’s office. Ally will only be able to go home with him if she agrees to do so. As Eric approaches the hospital room door where Ally was when he left, he notices that there is a strange atmosphere in the hospital. The nurses look worried and they are talking in hushed tones.The doctor is standing in Ally’s room’s doorway, looking very worried. Eric approaches the doctor and looks into the room. The room is empty. The wheelchair that Ally was sitting in is still in the room but there is no sign of Ally.“Where is she?” Eric asks the doctor.“I have sent a nurse to check in the scan department.” The doctor replies, trying to sound as if he is in control of the situation. Eric quickly picks up on his nervousness and gathers that this doctor does not know where Ally is.“You sent someone to check? You did not arrange for scans?” Eric asks, his blood starting to boil. He has been very patient in this hospital thus far. He has not yel
