Chapter 386: Hospitalized

Ashley and Tristan were busy having their breakfast when suddenly the main door flung open and Gwen dashed through it as she ran upstairs ignoring everyone around, wiping off her tears.

Both Tristan and Ashley were shocked by her behavior and quickly shared a glance once again turning back their eyes upstairs as the door of her room slammed shut.

THUD!

The loud bang was enough for the two to realize something wasn’t right and without wasting a second they both rushed to talk with Gwen.

Inside the room, Gwen slumped down on the floor, as she cried her heart out. She could handle whatever she had seen and now everything seems to come to an end for her.

Knock! Knock!

Standing outside her room Ashley finally knocked the door. Her crying sound was making them restless and all they wanted to know was what happened.

Last night she agreed on sorting out all her differences with Karl and in the morning when she went to check her in her room she wasn’t there.

Ashley assumed she went to meet Karl as wanted to do so from last night. But now when she was back all distraught, crying inside her room everything seems so confusing for them.

Tristan was getting restless as she didn’t answer them back nor did she open the door for her.

"Why isn’t she opening the door," he asked as panic erupted in his heart finding her cry’s unbearable.

He had been trying to connect with Karl since last night and that man wasn’t even responding to him nor did he call back him either. But now after whatever he witnessed he just couldn’t stop himself from meeting up.

"I will be back" Turning around Tristan walked away from there leaving Ashley clueless about where he was going.

’’Huh.." All she did was watch him hurry downstairs and then walk out of the house.

Ashley was feeling uneasy with the change of events. Here Gwen wasn’t ready to open the door and Tristan just left her alone to deal with this situation all by herself.

*****

Tristan drove to Karl’s house with much fury. He wanted to know what happened between them and why was his sister crying.

He had always supported them no matter what but today when he saw how Gwen was trying to shove everyone away by isolating herself inside her room, he couldn’t handle it.

He accepted she was too stupid to conclude things without understanding them but that doesn’t mean he would always keep blaming her.

Unlocking the door, Tristan sprinted inside the house as his eyes looked around, and when he didn’t find Karl anywhere his eyes then turned towards the bedroom and fortunately he found it a little open.

Marching towards the bedroom, Tristan stopped when an unpleasant smell hit his nostril, but he immediately ignored that very smell and flung open the door, but the scene he witnessed broke his heart.

"Karl..." he screamed and dashed toward his friend who had passed out on the floor after consuming too much alcohol.

"Damn what have you done to yourself" Tristan’s mind was in chaos as he quickly carried Karl on his back and dashed out of his house heading straight to the hospital.

Thirty minutes passed and yet Gwen didn’t open the door. Ashley could still hear her cry and decided to wait outside unless she stopped crying.

Pacing in the corridor, Ashley was patiently waiting for Gwen when suddenly her phone rang and her footsteps halted the very next second.

Looking at Tristan’s name on the mobile screen she immediately answered the call.

"Where did you go, Tristan? Gwen hasn’t opened the door yet" Ashley almost yelped but the words she heard him say back froze her on her spot.

"Ash, Karl is hospitalized"

Blinking her eyes a few times, Ashley tried to suck in the words when he again spoke, "He isn’t in a good condition either"

Ashley finally normalized her clouded thoughts and bobbed her head as she understood the hidden meaning behind his words and hung up the call before she walked towards Gwen’s room door and once again knocked on it.

It was as if the girl finally showed some mercy to her, Gwen opened the door which lead Ashley to gasp at her appearance.

Her heart broke watching how shattered Gwen looked but she shoved off her pain and spoke, "Karl... he is hospitalized"

Those words themselves made Gwen look up at Ashley with shock while her eyes once again began to cry silently.

*****

Meanwhile, Noah rushed to the hospital when he got a call from Tristan. He was utterly shocked by what he heard once he reached there.

"Damn.. this guy, is he trying to kill himself" Noah snarled as he couldn’t believe Karl who didn’t like drinking ended up consuming too many bottles of alcohol at once.

Tristan didn’t answer him back as his mind was entirely occupied thinking what had gone wrong between the couple that everything end up so messy.

Closing his eyes Tristan heaved out a sigh as he brushed his temple when the door of the emergency ward opened and the doctor stepped out.

"How is he," both Noah and Tristan asked in unison. No matter what happened Karl was still his friend and finding him this vulnerable broke his heart.

"Glad that you brought him on the right time or we would’ve lost him" the doctor’s words shocked the two as they shared a concern-filled glance.

"We were able to drain the alcohol out from his stomach and now he is out of risk"

Sighing in relief, the doctor then walked away when after some time Ashley finally arrived.

"How is he.." she asked looking at the two simultaneously.

Tristan was surprised as he couldn’t see Gwen anywhere with Ashley but he quickly ignored the fact and answered. "He is fine, now"

Ashley heaved out a deep breath at his response before she gave him a meaningful stare.

Ashley waited for Gwen to say something, but when she told her she won’t come, it left her speechless. She saw the determination in her eyes as if she was fighting with her emotions and in the end, she stepped back and closed the door.

[ Dungeon base]

The doctor whom Max and Tori abducted from his workplace had finally regained consciousness.

He couldn’t understand where he was but then the memories of Tori hitting him rushed through his mind and he wriggled on his seat, only to find himself being tied.

"Help..." he screamed his lungs out as he tried his best to free himself but no matter what he did, the rope around his wrist only hurt him.
