65 Suicide As Ewan hurried to the hospitals address , which Alfonso had texted him earlier , he hoped for their sake they werent 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 Alfonsos 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 Fionas bedside .
According to the doctor , she will survive this .
But thats 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 didnt 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 Ewans thoughts .
( … ) Ewan hoped not , because with the number of unanswered questions hanging over him now , he didnt 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 didnt think Fiona would want to raise another womans 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 Fionas 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 .
< 65 Suicide Why did he block her cards ? Was that punishment too ? Wasnt cancelling the engagement enough punishment ? Ewan … He called tiredly , when Ewan remained mute .
Say something .
I dont know what to say , Alfonso .
Im 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 cant 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 hadnt , would you be here talking about a psychiatrist ? Alfonso shouted , getting to his feet .
1 Ewan sighed , and rested his back on the wall ; both men unaware of Fionas other hand which was clenched tightly in anger .
Im sorry Alfonso , but you should try to see it from my side .
If all you mentioned is the reason for her attempted suicide , then her mental state isnt in a good place .
If she needs money so much , she should work for it .
If she needs the engagement revived , she should prove that shes had a repentant heart .
Why suicide? It just doesnt make sense ….
Alfonso gritted his teeth , while glaring at an Ewan who refused to be moved .
I dont blame you , Ewan .
Its because youre alive , thats why youre making such baseless statements … Ewan exhaled gently , tuned the man off , before returning his gaze to Fiona .
In this state , she looked almost innocent , pitiful even .
As he heard the monitor regular beating , he wondered if he had pushed her far with the punishment .
Had she been embarrassed yesterday, because of the card blockage ? Ewan sighed weakly .
He had pampered Fiona too much , and now he was wondering if it had been the best of ideas .
But what else was there to do for a woman who had saved his life ? He thought , not minding Athenas speculations there wasnt proof of any other woman .
The reports Sandro had submitted to him too , didnt mention the presence of any other girl in his life , apart from Fiona .
Maybe she had been lucky , getting away without any brain damage .

Some people were fortunate that way .
He sighed again , and took her hand in his .
She might be a troublemaker , but she had been his saviour at one time ; and for that reason , he would give her the benefit of the doubt .
Im sorry , Fiona .
Just be fine and get up .
65 Suicide Alfonso sighed in relief at the sight .
Perhaps his son in law was getting back to his moment there , he thought the latter had lost it .
s senses .
For a They both didnt take notice of Fionas hand unclenching and splaying on the bed , or the smile that stretched her lips thinly .
Thats about right .
Speaking of help and remembrance , what are you going to do about my company ? Are you really going to watch it crumble like Zacks ? I heard he is in debt too … Ewan ignored the matter at first .
But Alfonso wasnt one to be ignored .
If you are going to save Fiona completely , you should save her inheritance too … Ewan shook his head , absolutely tired .
Drop it , Alfonso .
I wont be helping your company because that wont be a wise decision on my part .
Havent you seen the news ? The rate of 1 stocks today ? Ewan scoffed when Alfonso looked away.
Im … my Dont bother Alfonso , I know youre selfish , but this is a new low .
For your company , the only way out is for you to sell .
Considering the state of my company , I wont be in a position to buy it , unless you are okay with a couple of millions .
How much is that ? Alfonso asked , hoping the amount would be better than Athenas offer at least .
Forty million dollars .
Alfonso paled , stood up from the chair , and walked out of the ward without a word .
He will sell his business to Athena ?
