Chapter 220 - Accident...

He made her sit on the bed and kneeled on the floor. 

" I am sorry. I was irritated with Rachel's call and kept your mobile in silent mode. I don't know about the consequences of my mistake. Please forgive me…." She cried, holding his hands.

" I already arranged bodyguards a long time back without their knowledge. But we should be more careful from now on. By this time, the bodyguards I arranged were on their work so we did not need to get worried…" he replied.

" Grayson is so cruel. He will do anything to get Kathie back ...." She said in a quivering voice. He hugged her to his chest and said, " Trust me. This time I am there to help Katherine which my father failed a few years back " 

" Grayson is too dangerous," she said in fear. He caressed her back and said " Don't panic at this time. Be strong and keep faith in me. Everything will be alright…."

At Adrian's office

After ending the call of Steven, Katherine sat silently holding her head. She started thinking of his words. But she was clueless why Steven was worried, why he wanted her and Adrian to come back to the home, and why he arranged the bodyguards to escort them. 

" What happened, love? Again Steven and Ruby fought with each other? " Adrian asked, looking at the expression on her face. She looked at him and replied, " No…"

" Steven wants us to come back home immediately. He told us not to come out without the bodyguards he sent for us…." She replied.

Adrian laughed at her words and asked, " Is he from the Mafia??" She glared at his playful words and shouted, " Be serious sometimes…."

Just in time, ten members of bodyguards entered the cabin in black uniforms carrying guns in their hands. The Head of the group said, " Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Brown told us to escort you to your home. Please cooperate with us " in a serious tone.

" May I know why he sent you all, so suddenly?" Katherine asked him.

" We are just following Mr. Brown's instructions. Until today's morning, he instructed us to guard you both without your knowledge. Just a few minutes back we got a message for him to bring you both safely to your home…." That man replied.

" From when you were guarding us…." Adrian inquired.

" After both get married, he assigned us the job to guard you staying far away so that you both never get doubted" the man replied.

Adrian was angry to know that all these days Steven assigned the people to stalk them. He was so annoyed with his deed. He fisted his hands in anger. On the contrary, Katherine felt bad to behave rudely with Steven without knowing his true intentions. She understood he is also good just like his brother, Martin.

When both of them were in their thoughts, the head of the guards asked them to come along with them. For that Adrian looked at them seriously and said, " we can take care of ourselves. Just leave…"

" Wait…." Katherine stopped him and said, " we are coming with you…" 

"Ad…. I think it's better to go to our place and talk with Steven. I think something was wrong. He was so worried about us. Just listen to me for once " Katherine said.

" Okay. " he agreed finally with her request and started with them. All the way, he looked very serious and did not even talk with Katherine. Once they reached the house, Adrian went inside Ruby's room without knocking on the door and Katherine ran after him. All the maids in the house were watching them in astonishment.

Adrian saw Ruby sleeping on Steven's lap. He controlled his anger and asked him, " What do you think of yourself? Huh? From the beginning, I am noticing you, you were trying to control our lives " 

Instantly, Ruby opened her eyes and stood up from the bed. She noticed Kathie along with Adrian and felt relieved. She walked towards them and hugged her. Then she started crying, holding Kathie, and asked, " Are you both fine? " 

" Yes, we are fine " Kathie replied and was confused with Ruby's behavior.

" Can you tell me why people kept stalking us? Don't you have any other work? What do you think of yourself? " Adrian shouted at Steven. 

" Steven...tell me why you asked us to come immediately? " Katherine asked.

" Kathie….first sit down. We will talk calmly…" Ruby said and made her sit on a chair.

" You both stopped working today and also disturbed our work at our company. We were busy with some work but Steven made a call as if someone was dying…" Adrian said.

" Adrian….please don't like that. He wants you to be safe. So he made a call…" Ruby said with tears.

" Okay. Tell me, what happened? " Katherine asked Steven.

" It's... about … Grayson…." Steven said, looking at Katherine. As soon as she heard GRAYSON's name, she dropped the mobile from her hand and stood up from the bed. Her face became pale as a ghost. 

" Grayson!!! " She exclaimed.

" How is he now? " Adrian asked with annoyance.

" Grayson came to know about you. He assigned people to kill Adrian. So I made a call to you and asked you to come here. We will be very careful…" Steven said.

" Why does he want to kill me? I don't even know that person . ." Adrian said.

Just in time, Adrian's mobile rang. He saw the unknown number and immediately attended the call. 

" Is it Mr. Wilson? " He heard the voice.

" Yes. May I know who it is?" Adrian asked.

" I am Mr. Orlean, the patrol team. We are sorry to say that one of your cars met with an accident. Your driver was dead on the spot and your son was admitted to the nearest hospital. The condition is very critical. Please come to St. Peterson hospital" he informed and ended the call.

For a second, his heart stopped beating with the terrible news. A tear escaped from his eyes without his knowledge. Katherine was scared to see Adrian's state and held his arm tightly.

" Ad….what happened? Who is the call? " Katherine asked, shaking his arms. Adrian looked at her face as he had no guts to tell the news. 

" Ad….speak out something. You are scaring me…" she shouted.

" Adrian ...who is the call? Is everything alright? " Steven inquired, looking at his condition.

After a few minutes, he gathered some courage to convey the news to Kathie. " We need to visit St. Peterson hospital…"

" Hospital!! " She was shocked.

" Let's go…" he held her hand and dragged her out of the room. Steven and Ruby followed them anxiously and asked, " What is the need to visit the hospital in a hurry?"

Kathie took off her hand from his grip and shouted, " For god's sake, tell me...why are you taking me to the hospital? " 

" We have no time, once we reach the hospital, you will come to know" he replied in a low voice. Maria who heard the conversation asked, " The patients who are in critical condition will be admitted to St. Peterson's hospital. Who is the patient?"

" Mom ….please stay at home, we will be back soon," he said and walked out taking Katherine with him whereas Katherine's heart was beating with fear. 

" I and Ruby will also come with you both. And the bodyguards will escort us .." Steven stated.

Adrian nodded his head absentmindedly. He was dying to see his son and on the other hand, he doesn't understand how to tell his wife about his son's condition. Steven ignited the engine of the car and Ruby sat in the front seat whereas Adrian and Katherine sat in the passenger seat.

" Please .. drive as fast as possible. We need to get to be there in a short time .." Adrian said to Steven.

When Steven was riding the car, Katherine pestered her husband to tell who was admitted to the hospital but he remained silent as looking outside. Steven and Ruby were observing both of them but didn't speak a word. They were also worried looking at Adrian.

Steven stopped the car when they reached the hospital. Adrian stepped out of the car and asked Katherine to come fast with him.

" Ad….at least tell me now, why are we here! " She cried with anxiety.

" Our car met with an accident while returning to our home…" At last, Adrian opened his mouth.

" What? " She shouted. Even Steven and Ruby were shocked to know about the news.

" The driver was dead and our Sam was admitted to the hospital. I got a call from the patrol police, " Adrian said.

" Is our Sam fine? " she said, fisting his suit. He lowered his head and held his wife by his arms. 

" Please take me to see my child. I want to see him" she started crying on his chest.

" Adrian, I will inquire about Sam's condition.. Please take care of Kathie " Steven said and also instructed Ruby to stay with her.
