The Billionaire Alpha's Secret Baby novel Chapter 8

I didn't even get a proper look at his face. I and Nkechi were busy trying to save him, doing all the things trained emergency personnel should be doing, that we had completely forgotten to check for his name or identity or anything at all from him.

We were so panicky about the state he was in that we had totally ignore all the formalities we were supposed to adhere, hoping to get all the information from him when he finally woke up.

I carelessly dropped the cup of water I was bringing to the ungrateful stranger on my bed stand table and stalked out of my room furiously to meet an equally bamboozled Nkechi standing in the middle of the sitting room, bewilderment plastered all over her face.

I wasn't taken aback anymore, I was simply furious and enraged at the whole shenanigans.

"What just happened now, Gracie she asked, trying to swallow her surprise but failing miserable. "Did you do anything to frighten him? What did you say to him?" she shot me a suspicious glare, stomping to where I stood.

"Nothing bad, Nk, trust me." I replied my best friend, exhaling in frustration before letting my petit weight drop on the couch beside me. "I'm pretty much sure 'how are you feeling now' would not be enough to frighten someone to the point of running out in the manner at which he did like there was fire on his heels."

Nk slumped down as well, still looking confused with the whole situation.

I felt bad for her more than myself. For making her drive all the way from Essex to my place at that time of the night and at such a short notice. The initial plan was that she was coming to get Laurie by morning for their camp outing while I get the chance to work on my chapter for the day before going to the company I worked per time for.

She was a mum for chrissakes, and I had to make her leave her kids and mine with her nanny till the next day, turning ourselves into good Samaritans.

I, sorry, we took so much risk for that ungrateful man, going through the hassle of calling for the ambulance to come get his driver, while we dragged his heavy weighted and unconscious form to my house.

We went through such life-threatening situation while having it at the back of our minds that if anything had gone wrong, we were in going to be in serious trouble.

Nkechi who was to my relief a registered nurse took the risk simply because she trusted my judgment, if not she would never do such for anyone. But she would never leave me on my own in that situation. That was my best friend for you.

It was either they went to the hospital, or they were left by themselves, but I just couldn't turn away from someone in that situation who was in dire need of a help I could offer.

See where that help landed me.

"Tea or coffee?" she asked dragging me out from my train of thoughts, hurling herself from the chair and ambling towards the kitchen.

"I think wine would be best in this situation, NK, seriously." I said trying to force out the last dose of humor in my head.

"I know but I have to get back to the kids and continue our day as planned, and so will you, Gracie. The patient that would have stopped all that from happening had left in a hurry, so we move." she admonished with a scowl.
