Augustus reached the hospital with Eliana and Arnaldo to see their father. The both asked at the reception about their father. “Your father has been taken to the ICU at the 5th floor, in the second ICU room. I am calling the Doctor-in-charge so you can talk with him,” the receptionist replied and dialed the landline number of Doctor Brambilla.
The other receptionist told them to wait in the lobby. Augustus told them to sit there but Eliana did not agree to. She was panicked at the thought that her father was taken to the ICU. Augustus excused himself from there as he thought to talk to Luca regarding the matter. In a few minutes, Stefano Brambilla came there.
“Doctor, what happened to father?” Eliana asked.
“Mr. Russo got a heart attack and it needs a bypass surgery,” Stefano replied. “The operation will not be started until you will give the permission. Please fill the form and submit the amount required for
Eliana and Arnaldo were standing near the bed on which their father was lying unconscious. Arnaldo put his arm around Eliana's shoulder. "Dad is stable now. Thanks to your husband," stated Arnaldo. Eliana hummed and sobbed upon seeing her father. “Sorella, I need to leave. I have to give the project presentation tomorrow morning and for that I need to prepare,” asserted Arnaldo after getting the call from his project mate. “Yes, you shall go. Dad is alright so, you do not need to worry about him., “ Eliana told her brother who gave a nod. Arnaldo looked at Augustus, who was standing a meter away from them. He told Augustus to take care of them as he might not be at home at night. “Why?” Augustus queried. “Because of the project
Augustus drove the car till RK Medica hospital while Eliana was inside the Ambulance with her father. An hour later, they reached the City's main hospital. Augustus parked his car and walked inside the hospital. He found Luca waiting for him in the lobby. "Sir, Mr. Antonio Russo has been taken to the 4th floor, VIP medical room. Mrs. Ferrari has also gone there," Luca informed him. Augustus nodded and the two reached the 4th Floor in the elevator. Luca found his boss which was not unusual for him. "Sir, you smoke again? You promised last time that-" "Luca, let's talk about this later," Augustus asserted as he stepped towards the VIP room allocated to Antonio. As they entered the room, they saw Romeo Morelli, A Medicine Doctor in the RK Medica, friend of Augustus.
"I want to kiss you. Can I?" Eliana widened her eyes upon hearing the request of Augustus."No," she replied and yanked his hand away. She moved away from him. Augustus curled his lips into a smile and slid the washroom's door. He walked in, closing the door behind him. Eliana placed her hand on her chest. It was thumping loudly because of the incident that just happened."Sweetie, the order will come soon so go downstairs," Augustus informed her from inside the washroom. Eliana stepped ahead and went to the living hall. She walked past the bed and heard the sound of Augustus' phone ringing. She turned and picked the phone. There was no name written on it, so she answered the call."Why are you not answering my calls? Have you lost your mind? Don't you respect your father even a bit? What kind of behavio
Eliana was pacing in front of the giant gate, worried about Augustus. She called him many times but he did not answer her single call."Madam, Sir usually comes home late. You shall go in," the security guard told Eliana who refused to go."It's past 1 am. Let me go out. I will check once. Maybe something happened," Eliana was a little panicked. She herself did not know why she was concerned about a stranger whom she didn't even know that well. The security guard refused her request politely. "I am afraid but I cannot open this gate until Sir tells me. It's late night, Madam.""I will just be there and watch from there. And no one will come here late at night as this place is isolated from the city. Let's look for his car. Don't you think it's a bit late? He should have returned by now. The other day som
Augustus' sleep broke as he heard the alarm. He extended his hand out to close it but it did not come in his hand. He picked a pillow and covered his ears with it. The noise died out and he again fell asleep. Suddenly the alarm started ringing again, waking him up. He felt the clock was closer to his ears and it annoyed him. He lifted his hand when his hand was caught and twisted."Ahhhh," he screamed in pain and immediately sat up. The alarm clock was still ringing and now it was placed on the table. He was shocked to see Eliana, who still had his hand and was pressing it hard."What are you doing? Leave me. It's hurting," Augustus complained."It's 8 am in the morning. You woke up late and" she paused while glaring into his eyes before continuing, "You did something wrong last night." She tightly
Eliana was moving the spoon inside the bowl filled with milk and corn flakes, while taking the peeks at Augustus, who was quietly eating his meal. "I need to see my father," Eliana broke the ice. Augustus lifted his eyes from the plate and looked at her. "I will be in the office on time. So, first I will go to check my father," she stated."I am afraid but you cannot do that." He saw Eliana was frowning at him. "Romeo sent me the message and told you to not worry about your father. He is under observation for two days, so let the doctors do their work. If you are desperate to meet then, go in the evening," Augustus pronounced and again looked at his plate."Okay," a reply came from Eliana. "What happened last night? You can share with me if you want to," Eliana asserted. Augustus stopped eating and again peered at her. Eliana was chewing the flakes
"W-What are you doing?" Eliana questioned him while stuttering. "I will knock you down, so just get away from me," Eliana warned Augustus. "Sweetie, we need to act like a lovey-dovey couple. I cannot help it but I have to kiss you as soon as this elevator opens," Augustus whispered, making Eliana frown. His breath fanned her lips. Eliana placed her other hand on his chest to push him. However, Augustus caught her hand and pinned it on the elevator wall. Before she could react, Augustus claimed her lips and at the same time the elevator was opened. Eliana widened her eyes but then closed them, unable to breath. Augustus sucked and nibbled on her lips. He drew back, sweeping the hair strand which had come to her face behind her earlobe. Eliana was furious at his acts and was going to slap him when she h
Luca after explaining everything to Eliana left the office. Eliana checked the e-mails first and saw thousands of them. "What's this?" She murmured. She turned to look at Augustus who was immersed in his own work. She twitched her lips, and focussed back on her work.She sorted the important emails first and accordingly replied to them as was told by Luca. As she never worked on a computer, it was a bit difficult for her. She did not realize the time until her brother called her. The loud sound of the ringing of the phone echoed in the entire office cabinet, thus grabbing the attention of Augustus as well."S-sorry," Eliana answered the call and said, "I will call you later." She hung up the call and put it on silent.Augustus intently gazed at her before averting his gaze away. He looked at the cl
