Hot Coffee (The Hollens)

Chapter 37 (Sleeping Beauty)

Ethan's POV

My phone rang in my pocket as I sat in the helicopter. Detective Sam had gotten some news. Emma was at a local hospital north of my current location. I instructed my helicopter pilot to change course. I was relieved that she was found and at a hospital. She would get the treatment that she needed there.

We landed on the hospital's roof top and moved towards the entrance. I took the elevator down and arrived at the fourth floor. A receptionist stood behind a desk flipping through papers. She gave me a pleasant smile as I approached.

"Hello, I'm Ethan Hollen. I'm looking for my fiancee, Emma Cole."

She fixed her hair with her fingers and drew out her large chest as she smiled. Maybe she wanted to impress me, but it wasn't working. I was only attracted to one woman.

"Yes, Mr. Hollen. She's in recovery 0-10 on the third floor. It's only one floor down." She batted her eyelashes like a doll.

"Thank you," I said back before looking at her with disgust and turning my back. I headed downstairs. "Ethan Hollen. I'm here to see my fiancee, Emma Cole," I said to three nurses at a table on the entrance of the ward. I didn't care about being discreet anymore. All I wanted was to see my Emma.

"We've been expecting you, sir. Right this way," one of the nurses instructed and she led me to the room.

She opened the door and I walked in slowly, eyes affixed on a motionless Emma lying on a bed with an IV and a SATS monitor above her head. There were bruises and cuts on her face. Her eyes were swollen underneath, showing signs that she had been crying rapidly.

I couldn't stop the tears that flooded my eyes and fell upon my cheeks. I sat down on a chair beside the bed, studying her face for any movements.

"Baby, I'm here. I need you to wake up," I said in a whisper, taking her hand into mine.

"Mr. Hollen, she hasn't woken up since she arrived, and that's not a good sign," a doctor said as she walked in.

"How is she?"

"She has been unconscious for hours without any signs of movement. Her vitals are stable enough to make a recovery soon, hopefully today or tomorrow. She has been given fluids and medication to assist, but we cannot administer any other sort of medication in case it posses risk to the baby.copy right hot novel pub
