Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever
Chapter 329 - Ronnie's Request (Unedited)"Dr. Davis, Dr. Aria had fainted." The nurse said after calming herself down and that was all it took for both the men to go into shock. Dread took over their body and fear engulfed their souls, especially Noah's. His heart was not filled with trepidation and he could not stop himself from trembling. It was the worst news he had ever heard in his life and his mind was not in peace. He wanted to see her now and make sure she was safe, even if it took him his life to save her.
"Where is she?" Ian asked the nurse, seeing Noah's unusually pale face. The man who had been calm in all situations seemed to be losing it and Ian had to make sure Aria was fine before his friend completely lost it. "Lead us the way."
The nurse nodded and led them towards the ward where Aria was shifted to. A doctor was tending to her as she tried to stop her from convulsing. On seeing that Ian was here, she handed over the case to him and decided to assist him instead.
Aria was his friend and it was given that his hands would shake seeing her in the state. But he to save her at costs. Noah had trusted her to him for now and he could not allow anything to happen to her.
Meanwhile, the man in question was shattered to see his beloved in this state. Aria was drooling as her body twitched every few seconds. he had never seen her this way, sick and pale. His heart was crying seeing her in this state and he rushed to hold her hands trying to stop her from moving. "Aria," he cried as he tried to calm her down. But the girl had long succumbed to the poison and she could not hear anybody or anything, let alone Noah's desperate cry.
"Ian, please save her. Please." Noah begged and just as he let out the words, foam started to form in her mouth. "Ian, please." Noah could not control himself anymore and he shouted, begging his friend to save the woman he loved dearly. Ian did not waste any more time. he had already arranged for the antidote and he immediately induced it in her body. It took a few seconds for the sedative to work, but started to calm down eventually. She stopped twitching and she drifted off to a blissful sleep.
Ian wiped the foam and the drool from her face before he checked her pulse. Although it was weak, there were no problems. She was out of danger at least for now. Only when he confirmed that everything was normal and she was fine, did he sigh in relief. "Noah, she is fine for now. Don't worry. Let me give you the pill in case you have been infected with the poison too. And make sure to wear the mask after taking the pill. We do not want you too to fall sick and in that case, who will take care of Aria." Ian tried to ease the man's tension and visibly, the man relaxed a little.
It was true that he had to be safe in case he had to protect his woman and take care of her. So, he did not deny Ian's suggestion snd took the pill without kicking up a fuss. he also covered his mouth and nose with a mask before he went to sit beside Aria, whose face had lost all its color. Ian smiled at the beautiful couple and hoped that nothing serious would happen to her later. They were yet to find out if there were any other effects of the poison even after taking the antidote. "I'll leave you two alone. Take care."
Meanwhile, the media channel did not delay in relaying the message they had got from Ian and this led to a widespread commotion in the city. Even the people who had not attended the event or were present anywhere around the area were panicking and were rushing towards the nearby hospitals to get themselves checked. The unbelievable crowd brought a bigger headache to hospitals and their staff. Some rational citizens took to the social networking sites to calm the people and explain what exactly was happening, asking the people not to get anxious. However, this still did not stop the people from worrying.
Every hospital was facing the same issue as they were bombarded by people and nobody knew how to control the situation. As time flew, the crowd only grew and they started to demand the medical staff to administer the antidote to them first, not caring about the people who had actually been affected by the poison. Seeing their stupidity, Ronnie could only curse under his breath. he did not know what to do and neither his Boss nor Dr. Davis was nearby to ask them for suggestions. He wanted to go in search of them before he took any action, but he also could not leave the issue unattended.
Ronnie was in a huge dilemma now and he had to do something. He could not waste any more time and closed his eyes trying to come up with a solution. At that moment, he remembered the words he had learned when he had first started his training in the Underworld base. 'If what you are doing is not wrong and not against your conscience and if it has to be done in the situation you are in, don't hesitate to follow what your mind says.'
Ronnie made up his mind and stepped forward and approached one of the reporters who was busy relaying the condition as she faced the camera. "Excuse me, Miss." He called out to her startling the poor woman completely. She turned to face him, her face filled with confusion. At first, she was not sure what the man wanted. But when she realized that he was the same man who the monitoring the crowd outside the hospital, she decided the enquire about the actual situation.
"Yes, can you tell us what exactly has happened and how the hospital is trying to face the issue?" She pointed the mike towards him waiting for an answer.
However, Ronnie did not give her an answer immediately. Instead, he wandered his eyes around the area first before he started to speak. "The doctors and the nurses are trying their best to save the patients and if I am not wrong, they already have the medicine with them that could stop the immediate effects of the poison. But we still have no idea what its long term effects are and that will require more time to find out. Right now, our main motive is to prevent people from dying."
"Also," Ronnie faced the camera directly this time and his eyes turned cold all of a sudden, revealing the anger that was hidden in him. Even the reporter and the cameraman were petrified seeing his change of expression. "I request the people to stop panicking and rushing to the hospital. Is the crowd here not enough that everybody is rushing here and demanding antidotes? Why is everyone making it difficult for the doctors and the nurses? They already have a lot of people to treat right now. Please don't try to make them even more stressed. We understand that you are worried about yourselves and we not denying you the treatment in case you are affected."
Ronnie stopped suddenly to take a breather before he started to speak again. "We request you to visit the hospital only if you have the symptoms of the gas affecting you. Please try to be humane and understand the woos of the people who have been actually affected by poison." That was all the man said and his eyes and expression returned to normal. "I am sorry if I have come out as rude to anybody. But please try to understand our predicament and think rationally. Thank you Miss for helping e convey my message."
With that, Ronnie walked away from the female reporter before she could even ask him anything. The lady could only stare at him star-struck, impressed by the way he had handled the situation, Although his words were rough and unpolished, it did have the ability to strike one's nerve and make them listen to him.
Just like her, even the people who had heard him speak were convinced by his words. Although the crowd did not reduce, it did not increase either. So, the situation did not go worse at least. Not only Regal Medical Hospital, every other hospitals would be thanking him later for what he had done.
Ronnie now went in search of his Boss or Dr. Davis as he had not seen them even after a long time. he still had to ask them if there was anything else for him to do. But he found neither of the two men and surprisingly, even Aria was not found anywhere. He was just about to return to the reception when he overheard someone speaking. "Poor Dr. Aria. She too got affected by the poison."
"What are you saying?" The other nurse gasped while the two women continued to hurry towards one of the wards.
"Yes, she is in the emergency ward right now and I think Dr. Ian is treating her." The first woman continued, not noticing Ronnie's horror-struck face. He now realized why he had found none of the three people. After enquiring, he went to the ward where was admitted to and the scene he saw made him halt in his place. He saw a pale-face and unconscious Aria lying on the bed with Noah's holding her hand as a lone tear escaped from his eyes.
