Homepage/His Encounter With A Widow/
Chapter 50 What Are They Hiding
Reid POV
I pulled up in the hospital garage and stepped out of the car. I walk towards the hospital entrance but to my surprise, I saw William walking out of the hospital with a guy I recognize following behind him.
He also stopped walking immediately he saw me.
What's he doing here? I thought as we both stare at each other.
Some seconds passed,
He looks away from my figure and walk away with the guy following behind him.
What was he doing here?
I watch him until he hopped into his car and drove out of the garage.
I shrugged and finally find my way into the hospital.

I walk into Zayn's ward and my lips curved to a little smile. Flora and her Mum are sitting very close to Zayn's bed.
I must say Flora looks so happy as she stared directly at Zayn's face, I'm glad, though.
I cleared my throat to announce my presence and they both look up with a bright smile on their faces.
“Morning aunt” I greeted politely.
“Morning dear, how was your night?” She replied sweetly.
I just nodded with a smile in response as I walk fully into the ward.
“I'm sure you dreamt about him the whole night?” I joke, sitting on the vacant chair next to Flora.
Her cheeks flush.
“That's a Yes!”
She laughs.
“You're late” she says as she turned to me, her face has been replaced with a small frown.
“You're here right beside him, so I am not really needed here isn't it?” I said nonchalantly.
Flora nudge my arm and I laugh together with her Mum.
“You really can't change, can you?”
I just wink at her cute frown face, and she rolled her eyes.
“My Dad just left here”
“I told you he will be here this morning right?” She reminded. “Oh… That's no problem, I'll meet him some other time” I told her.
“Have you gone to see the doctor?” Flora asked after a short silence.
“Yes… I was actually coming from his office and guess what?” “He said… “Zayn will be conscious soon” Flora completed my words, and we'll laugh.
“I'm really eager to look into his eyes” Flora grins. Her Mum and I just chuckle at her.
Ryder POV
I marched into the living room with rage; that a*shole isn't picking his calls, and I'm getting impatient already.
I mean I already promised Mum that Flora is coming into this house tomorrow.
David is really going to die.
“What's it son?” Mum's voice jolted me out of my thoughts as I was about to make use of the stairs- I didn't even see her sitting there.
“It's nothing Mum” I told her and made to climb the stairs again.
“I told Stella about it already” She said.
I retreated my steps and stand properly on a staircase and I watch her as she files her nails, smiling sheepishly to herself.
“You see Ryder, I'm just so happy you finally found Flora” she glanced at my face.
“And after tomorrow, we're planning the wedding preparations” She said happily.
“I told you not to tell Aunt Stella about it, didn't I?” I asked harshly.
“Yes, but…
“Then why did you let her know about it!” I yelled, hitting my fist on the rail.
She slowly stood up with a hint of shock boldly written on her face.
“I clearly told you this was going to be a surprise, didn't I?” I yelled again.
F**k!
I let out a rueful breath and ascend the stairs, furiously.
I'm starting to regret I came back home already.
Mum will never listen to simple instruction- what if I couldn't get Flora tomorrow?
Damn!
I need to act fast.
I need to do something.
Zayn POV
It's pitch-dark, not even a tiny ray of light.
But I can hear people chatter happily.
Who are they?
And where am I?
I let my mind traveled to the previous incident and everything came replaying in my head.
“Let me out of the car before you drive yourself to death”
“We're dying together Zayn”
“You think this is some sort of joke?”
“Violet!”
Jeez!
I was involved in an accident.
F**k you Violet.
I struggled to open my eyes, but they seem heavy.
Damn!
“Look Reid, he's trying to open his eyes” I heard a feminine voice.
No, it's not just feminine.
It's a voice I recognize.
“Zayn can you hear me?" Her voice came like she's going to cry soon.
It's Flora's voice.
My dear Flora.
I opened my eyes at once but the annoying bright lights shone into my eyes, causing me to shut them back.
Fu*k
I slowly squinted my eyes open but everywhere looks blur.
“Zayn” I heard Flora's voice, but it's three faces that are staring down at me now.
I presume one is Flora and the other is Reid, then who's the third person?
I closed my eyes tightly and reopened them.
Yeah,
It's clear now.
“Can you see me?” She asked frantically as she waves her fingers to my face.
“Zayn, should we get the doctor?” Reid asks.
I just stare at Flora, pretending I'm not hearing them.
“Zayn, can you hear us?” Flora place a hand on my cheek, and I watch as a teardrop from her eye.
“Do you really have to cry?” I shot her a small smile and I watch as her shoulder drops.
“Really?”
“Oh… Man, that was really extreme” Reid rolled his eyes and sit down.
I just chuckle.
“Was just pulling your legs guys” I told them.
Reid smiles and nodded, but Flora isn't even looking at me anymore.
Oh… She has taken that to heart?
“Flora” I cooed as I gently took her hand on the bed.
She turned her head to look at me and tears streamed down her cheeks at once.
Damn!
I tried to sit up.
“You can't sit for now dear, I'll go get the doctor” A woman said as she stands up and walk out.
Huh?
Who's she?
“You want to hurt yourself?” Flora scolds as she held me down by my arm.
“Then stop crying”
I make her seat close to me on the bed.
“I'd thought I lost you” She wipes her tears.
I smile.
“I ain't going nowhere my love” I wink.
I watch as her cheeks turns red, and I smile with so much fulfillment- I'm so glad my words still has an effect on her.
Reid let out a discreet cough and I almost roll my eyes.
A*shole.
“How was the journey buddy?” He asked as he moves his chair closer.
“The bandage on your head makes you look cuter though” I touched my head and there's truly a bandage on it.
Flora laughs and I glare at him.
“Stop glaring, will you?” He warns.
“I couldn't sleep throughout the night, I was worried about you” He says, but I just watch him.
“You really won't say anything?”
I turned to Flora, ignoring him.
“You should really go back to that long sleep” Reid mutters but audible for us to hear.
“You say what?” I asked with a deep voice.
“Nothing” he shrugs.
Fool.
“How've you been dear?” I asked her with a light smile.
“You don't need to talk too much now” She hushed me in a tender tone.
“Kiss me” I ordered.
Huh?
Her eyes dilated.
“If you want me to stop talking, then kiss me” I repeated.
“We're in the hospital Zayn” She says timidly, not looking at my face.
“But it's a private ward, isn't it?” I reminded.
She twisted her lips and slowly leaned down.
The door opens all of a sudden and Flora quickly sit up.
Damn!
Reid laughs and believe me, I feel like shooting him now.
The doctor and the woman walks in- I still wonder who she is, though.
The doctor smiled widely at me.
“I'm glad you're okay Mr. Zayn” the doctor said, after checking my pulse.
I just glare at Reid who's been smiling to himself since.
Seriously?
“And I'm thrilled to tell you that you would be discharge tomorrow”
“No, I'm leaving today”
“Mr. Zayn you can't…
“I feel perfect to go home now… Thanks” I cut him short, and he breathes out before speaking up.
“If you insist then”
“And where's Violet?” I asked but I got no response.
I lifted my head and saw everyone exchanging a look, including the Doc.
“Is anything the problem?” I asked them.
“Can he eats now, Doctor?” Flora asks, but I feel she's trying to cover up the question.
“Sure ma'am, you can feed him well” The Doctor replied.
“Excuse me” The Doctor says and then walk away. I watch as Flora and Reid exchanges glances from time to time, then I concluded they are all hiding something from me.Download Novelah App
