Chapter. 4

{Everett's pov}

she stumbled back as her mother confessed the bitter reality of her life, I held her firmly supporting her to stand. and then I felt her body weight on my arms, I looked at her and her eyes were closed.

my one hand held her whilst by the other hand of mine I patted her cheeks - she is unconscious. Immediately I picked her up and placed her on the bed. water, where's the kitchen. I opened a door and it was the bathroom. And then another one, found it.

taking a glass from the shelf I filled water in it and walked back towards her. sprinkling water on her face, I worriedly rubbed her hands, she was still unconscious.

"it will be good if she never wakes up," Her parents, no fake parents are just a piece of trash, I looked back at them. and actually my glare worked this time.

"We are leaving, marry her, throw her, do whatever you want to do." and with that they walked out, why should I stop those unworthy people.

I immediately picked her up and walked towards my car. placing her on the back seat, i rushed towards the driving seat and started the engine.

as I was driving I kept on glancing at her who was still unconscious. why isn't she waking up? is it because of the shock she got after hearing that she is not their child or is it because her father kicked in her stomach?

I stopped the car in front of the hospital and after picking her up, I immediately rushed Inside.

once I admitted her, I took out my phone and informed my secretary to take care of the office as I won't be available today, and then I called my cousin who works in the same office informing him the same.

once I informed them, I called Emily. as she picked up the call I informed her that Arizona is in the hospital and she should come here.

I was sitting next to her while she was still unconscious, the doctor came gaining my attention. "Mr. Williams, I got the reports." I nodded assuring him to speak further.

"did something happen to her?" I looked at him confused, "I mean sir, she has internal bleeding in her pancreas." The doctor spoke making me look at her worriedly, "someone kicked her in the stomach." confessing that I looked at the doctor who nodded. "that can be the cause," I sighed at his response and looked at her who was still unconscious.

"how can it be cured?" the doctor looked at me before speaking, "through the process of embolization," How can a human being do this to another human being.

"and what are the causes that can happen after that?" I want full knowledge about it, "it can cause swelling, pain and infertility in a few women," he spoke. but she has to go through this in order to get treated.

"when will she regain consciousness?" I looked at her, "she will wake up soon." the doctor left and I sat on the stool next to the bed.

she slowly opened her eyes and I immediately stood up from the stool looking at her, she roamed her eyes, like she was trying to understand the situation.

"what am I doing here," her voice was weak, almost inaudible. "you fainted," She looked at me and tried to sit. I helped her, tears brimmed her eyes. "is it paining?" Concern took over me and she shook her head as in no.

"Why is life this cruel?" her question made me lost on words. what am I supposed to answer, "because it's life, Arizona." I patted her head and she weakly smiled.

"Thank you for bringing me here, I am fine now, I will take care of myself." she was about to get up when I held her shoulders stopping her from getting up.

"you haven't healed, but right now you should rest," I made her lay again and she looked at me confused.

"what's wrong with me?" should I tell her, I mean she just went through A shock I can't give her another shock.

"you need rest, just sleep." she was still frowning, what do I do. and just then Emily came in with mom and her mom.

"Ari, what happened baby?" she immediately Hugged her. and my mom came towards me. "what happened to her Everett?" I looked at Arizona who was talking to Emily so I dragged my mother out of the room and sat with her on the chairs placed in the hallways.

"mom I went to drop her, and there were her parents who thought I was her boyfriend, and then her father slapped and kicked her in the stomach and that has caused internal bleeding in her pancreas. and her parents told her that she wasn't their child, she was their older brother' s child, so they used her to get her parent's property and after getting that they abandoned her today." My mother gasped listening to all this and tears filled her eyes, my mom is way too sensitive. I am not complaining.

"so what now, what's the treatment for that" I sighed at her question. "embolization, and there are possibilities that it will cause swelling, pain and it can also cause infertility." I spoke and my mother looked at the room with pity. "poor child, she is going through a lot at a young age." I nodded on her words.

"mom, can you ask her if she is ready for this treatment. I mean make her understand that it's necessary." My mother nodded and patted my back.

"my son may act emotionless but he feels a lot for everyone" a sigh escapes my mouth as I looked at my mother who entered the room where Arizona was.

I hope she agrees to it, she will have to agree to it. it's needed. 'marry her, throw her or do whatever you want with her,' her father's words ringed in my mind. how can someone be so cruel to someone they have witnessed from childhood. the world is too cruel for innocent souls like Arizona.
