As Ewan hurried to the hospital’s address, which Alfonso had texted him earlier, he hoped for their sake they weren’t playing around, just like before, because he was not in the mood for their antics.
However, when he walked into the ward, and saw Fiona in a miserable state, with an oxygen mask over her nose, and her slit wrist in Alfonso’s hands, he stopped short, as his heart began another troubling beat.
He placed his hand on his chest to calm it down. What was with these women trying to give him a heart attack? Did he wrong a woman-god in his past life?
"How is she doing?" He finally asked as he stepped into the ward fully, and stood by Fiona’s bedside.
"According to the doctor, she will survive this. But that’s not my problem, Ewan. My problem is knowing what had caused this in the first place? What would cause a young vibrant girl to commit suicide?"
Alfonso shook his head tiredly, wondering why he was hit with bad news at every turn.
But Ewan didn’t bother answering the question. He only took a seat on a nearby empty chair, and stared at Fiona in deep thought.
What had she been thinking of before committing the act?
Did she think about her parents? About her sick mother who favored her so much when the woman had been healthy?
Did she think of him?
"Do you think canceling the engagement was too harsh?" Alfonso asked, breaking into Ewan’s thoughts.
(....)
Ewan hoped not, because with the number of unanswered questions hanging over him now, he didn’t think he would be reviving the engagement anytime soon.
If the DNA results came out positive, he would be a father to two children. He didn’t think Fiona would want to raise another woman’s children, especially if that woman was Athena.
"Ewan, you are not saying anything. What are you thinking about?" Alfonso folded his arms across his chest; pain etched in his facial features.
When he had received the call from the doctor at first, he had thought it a prank call, until the doctor had given him Fiona’s details and the address of the hospital.
And when he had seen her, he had forgotten all her misdeeds, and had regretted being mean to her last night.
Had she committed suicide because he had abadoned her too? Or was it because of Ewan?
He frowned at Ewan.
Why did he block her cards? Was that punishment too? Wasn’t cancelling the engagement enough punishment?
"Ewan..." He called tiredly, when Ewan remained mute. "Say something."
"I don’t know what to say, Alfonso. I’m as speechless as you are."
"Do you think you can revive the engagement, and unblock her cards to speed her recovery? You have to."
Ewan furrowed his eyebrows, annoyance flashing in his eyes. He hated being ordered around.
"If cancelling an engagement and blocking her cards had been a trigger for this, then I suggest you take her to a psychiatric hospital for some checkup. She can’t be..."
"Ewan Giacometti! How dare you?! You must feel so high and lofty after she risked her life and saved you from the deep waters! If she hadn’t, would you be here talking about a psychiatrist?" Alfonso shouted, getting to his feet.
