Chapter 124: THE PANICKED GIANA

"You look terrible," Lexus said with a worried expression. If Hailee continued like this, maybe she will accompany Ramon as a patient in this hospital and have a bed placed next to his brother.

Even if it sounded romantic, who would want to spend time in the hospital when their wedding is only four days away?

This is really messy. What happened with this couple?

"I want to stay here," Hailee muttered while hugging her knees, her eyes still fixed on Ramon, who was sleeping and looking pale.

Hailee couldn't wrap her head around the reality that in just one night, so much had happened.

Wasn't it just a few hours ago that the two of them teased and made out, but in the next few hours Ramon's condition worsened and the thing that worried Hailee the most was the result of Ramon's examination later.

Hailee didn't want to imagine the worst, but those thoughts kept haunting her.

She didn't want anything bad to happen to Ramon.

"Don't be like that, if you too got sick, I will be scolded by Ramon," Lexus said in a tired voice, he then stretched out his hand, but since Hailee did not reach for it, so like it or not, he was the one who had to pull this girl up and made her follow him out of the ward.

A little fresh air would be of great help to both of them, especially in this situation, and morning air is the best for it.

Hailee sighed and gave up when Lexus pulled her to her feet, she then took the jacket that was draped beside the sofa and put it on, but before she got out with Lexus, Hailee took the time to walk up to Ramon and kiss his forehead.

"I will be going out for a bit," Hailee whispered into Ramon's ear.

On the other hand, Lexus, who witnessed Hailee's little action, felt grateful that his brother met a girl like Hailee and not a girl from their circle who only know how to follow etiquette rules even when eating, preening and hanging out with other socialites.

Ramon does have good eyes when it comes to a person's personality and a girl like Hailee really deserves to be kept.

So, it's no wonder that Ramon insisted on hiding their relationship for two years because Liz was constantly pressuring Ramon to marry the woman of Lis' choice.

Lexus couldn't imagine what kind of girl that would be Lis' choice since whoever she was now, he was pretty sure that she wouldn't treat Ramon the way Hailee treated his brother or otherwise.

Luckily Ramon had a stubborn nature and wouldn't just give up, until finally their love story could continue in marriage too.

However, seeing Ramon's current condition, Lexus did not want to think about the worst that would happen if their wedding day went awry because of Ramon's declining health condition.

There was no problem with the losses that they would experience for arranging the wedding, but if the news about Ramon's declining health was out, this would certainly have a bad effect on the company as well.

"Come on." Hailee walked past Lexus after speaking softly to the sleeping Ramon. She wanted to leave immediately so that she could return early and accompany Ramon again. She was very worried about him.

Lexus then followed Hailee and closed the bedroom door behind him. "What do you want to eat? There's a cafeteria nearby."

"Anything," Hailee muttered. Of course Hailee knew what the menu is in the cafeteria, because it's not the first time she has been here, but there's not a single meal that could rouse her appetite now.

Seeing Hailee looking all gloomy, Lexus then lined up their steps and patted the girl on the shoulder to encourage her. "Ramon will definitely be fine. He's just exhausted and needs rest. He really is pushing himself too hard, considering his four years of memory loss and seeing him catching up in a matter of days, that's incredible," he said in matter of fact.

Lexus praised his brother, but instead he got a stern look from Hailee.

"Don't leave all the work to him alone. You have to help him too," Hailee said fiercely.

"Hey! Ramon always gives me too much work," Lexus defended himself from Hailee's accusation. "I do all my work well, you know ..."

"Don't get him into trouble," Hailee ignored Lexus' whining.

"He's the one who would always land me in troubles," Lexus said in a defensive tone. "You are being biased Hailee ..." the man beside Hailee frowned, because he kept getting blamed.

"He's sick,"Hailee replied.

"I'm also sick ... hurt by your unfair accusations ..." Lexus said dramatically.

However, Hailee didn't heed Lexus' words anymore and didn't reply either. She just kept walking toward the cafeteria with long strides.

Her mind was currently filled with Ramon.

============== 

The first thing Giana heard in the morning when she woke up to find that Aidan was in the bathroom was; about Ramon being sick.

Dillon informed her that Ramon was hospitalized yesterday afternoon and to this day he had not been allowed to go home.

Apparently, Ramon was waiting for the results of the thorough examination he underwent. 

However, Dillon had absolutely no information regarding how Ramon's current condition is developing. Getting the news about Ramon was already a difficult feat for him, so there was no way he could find out more about how this man was at this moment when the security at the hospital was so tight and there was nothing he could do but wait.

When reading the report, Giana's sleepiness immediately disappeared. She rubbed her face roughly and immediately rushed out of bed and headed for the bathroom, where Aidan was under the shower.

They had been living this tiring domestic life for three years, so seeing each other's bodies either wearing no clothes or being in one bathroom at the same time like this, wasn't awkward for both of them.

But, that didn't mean they passed their time like this intimately. No! Giana and Aidan just don't care for each other, so they are both at the point of indifference to whatever their partner does.

Like now, Aidan only glanced at Giana who took off her clothes and started turning on the shower next to him, while the woman who had been his wife for years didn't even glance at the man next to her.

After Aidan finished, he immediately dried his hair and wrapped a towel around his waist before he went out and prepared to go to work.

However, before he walked into his walk-in closet, something caught Aidan's attention, namely; Giana's cellphone which kept ringing on the table, beside their bed.

There seemed to be an incoming call, but since Giana was busy taking a shower, it was certain that she wouldn't pick up the call.

Usually, Aidan didn't care about Giana's affairs at all, it's just that, at that time, he had this sudden urge to see who the person was calling his wife in the morning like this.

There was no way a business matter so urgent that the caller had to call Giana this early. It's still too early for business matters.

Aidan's curiosity got stronger when the caller called Giana's cellphone again after the first call was not answered.

With slow steps and droplets of water still trickling down Aidan's face from his wet hair, the man trudged toward the bedside table and then saw the caller's id, which was written as Dillon.

Aidan knew this man as Giana's best friend during high school and as his wife's current personal assistant.

But, what did Dillon want so early in the morning?

Aidan didn't know what he was thinking when he reached out and picked up the phone instead.

Apparently, Aidan's curiosity was greater than his indifference to Giana in the bathroom earlier.

He pressed the flat phone to his ear and listened to what his wife's personal assistant needed.

From the other end of the phone, could be heard the voice of Dillon calling Giana by name alone, without a polite address he should have used like an assistant to his boss.

"Giana, I have received news about Hailee Tatum and this news will be released soon this afternoon," Dillon reported.

Hailee Tatum?

Of course Aidan was no stranger to the name Tatum, especially when Hailee and Ramon's relationship was exposed to the media.

But, long before that, Aidan knew one of the Tatum family members much more intimately.

However, that was not the most important thing right now, because there was an even more crucial piece of information that Aidan got from listening to this phone call, followed by dozens of questions that began to bother him.

What is the relationship between Giana and Hailee, and why does his wife care about Zia's sister? Did Giana know about his affair with a member of the Tatum family?

But, that possibility is unlikely. So far, Giana had always been completely indifferent toward whomever Aidan spent his days outside the house with.

Giana doesn't care who Aidan is having an affair with, because Giana is doing the same thing.

Of course Aidan knew it, but just like his wife, he didn't want to know anything about the affair she was going through.

This is what their domestic life looks like, which they have lived for three years, and it was unclear until when this will continue or who will give up first and end all this madness, once and for all.

"Hello? Giana?" Dillon called his boss name. "Are you still there?"
