Chapter 411: Slip in coma

Gwen stood still as she watched him pick up those empty bottles in his hands. The moment he stood up and was about to walk past her, she quickly grabbed his arm stopping him from taking a step ahead.

"Was it because of me you decided to drink?" she asked feeling the heaviness in her chest.

Gwen knew she had done a mistake by doubting him and it will always make her feel guilty, but she didn’t want him to take the extreme step of ruining his health.

Karl noticed the unshed tears forming in her eyes and before they could stream down, he let go of his hand and hugged her.

"Don’t blame yourself. It was my decision..." Karl explained.

Gwen buried her face into his neck and sniffed. She knew Karl never blame her for anything happening to him but deep down she knew it was her who pushed him to harm himself.

Staying in his arms for some time, Gwen then pulled back and said," Promise me you won’t touch them again" There was a gleam of seriousness in her tone but her eyes showed concern within.

Karl couldn’t help but smile at her fake warning. Tapping the tip of her red nose, Karl agreed with her. "I won’t... I promise, but there.. also one thing I want you to promise me"

"What.." she asked sniffing her flowing nose.

"You will never leave me... never again" Karl expressed his deeper fear as he stared at her seriously.

Gwen could sense the fear of losing her lingering within his orbs and she promised them to appear for the last time.

"I won’t... leave you ever again Karl... that’s my promise to you," Gwen said with an affirmation, her eyes boring deeply into his.

As time passed both found themselves drowning in each other’s eyes and before they could know they were already kissing.

Clutching the empty bottles in his hand, Karl deepened the kiss, savoring her mouth like there is no tomorrow.

Gwen too relaxed and reciprocated back, deepening the kiss passionately. Her hands rested on his back firmly.

"Umm..." The sound of moans and groans echoed inside the living hall as the couple didn’t stop.. until they ran out of oxygen.

"Ha..." Gwen gasped as she panted and looked up to see Karl’s flushed face.

It amused her to see him turning pink, but she loved the effect she had on him.

Resting their forehead together Karl gave her a small peck before he entirely pulled back and walked towards the trash bin.

"Just give me ten minutes I’ll clean the entire mess" Karl voiced from the kitchen but it was too late as Gwen had already started the work.

While Gwen was busy picking up other bottles, she heard her phone ring.

Walking towards the table next to the couch she looked at the flashing screen that showed her mother’s name on it.

A smile crept on her face as she bloomed with happiness and quickly answered the call.

"Mom.. you were right.." Gwen was about to tell Grace that she had finally sorted her difference with Karl but stopped when she heard her cry from the other end she frowned.

"Mom..." She asked in confusion and the moment Grace spoke her entire world came to a standstill.

Gwen stumbled on her feet about to lose her balance when Karl grabbed her from behind.

"Careful..." he warned with his eyes anxiously looking at her.

Dropping the phone from her hand, she then turned to look at Karl. Her lips trembled as she began to speak," Brother... he... met with an accident..."

Those broken words from her were enough to alarm Karl and without wasting any time longer they rushed to the hospital where Tristan was been taken.

[ Health Care]

"How is he..." Karl asked Noah who stood outside the emergency ward along with Trevor and Grace.

Alice had been trying to console Grace who didn’t stop crying even for once.

"Mom..." Gwen rushed to her mother’s side as she too broke down into tears.

"He is serious... " Noah said with much hesitation as his eyes moved to look at Grace. His heart ripped watching her so helpless.

"And what about Ash... where you able to find her?" he further interrogated.

On his way to the hospital, Karl called Noah who told him everything about the accident and how Ashley was too with Tristan at that time but when their team reached the spot, they couldn’t find Ashley anywhere.

"No... we are still searching her"

Karl ran his hand over his hair feeling helpless with the situation they landed in.

"God... I just hope we find her" Tears well in Karl’s eyes worrying for both Ashley’s and Tristan’s safety.

Doctor Wayne had been the one treating Tristan. The moment he was found by their men, he lost a lot of blood almost turning cold.

He had some fractured bone and received a huge blow on the left side of his head, bleeding excessively. It was kind of hard to judge from the situation he was brought here.

The red light went on for more than four hours when it turned off and the door of the ward finally opened.

Taylor walked out with extreme fatigue taking over his face.

"How is he?" Trevor who had been silent all the time approached his friend. His eyes hopefully begged at him.

Noah and Karl too dashed toward Taylor waiting for his response, with their heart beating rapidly inside their chest.

"He is out of danger but... I don’t know when he will wake up" Taylor responded with a depressing tone.

Taylor had managed to stop the bleeding, but due to the excessive blood flow, Tristan’s body slipped into a coma. And he didn’t know how long will it take for him to wake up.

Grace who was looking at Taylor with the same expectant gaze broke down again.

Everyone was shattered by the news Taylor broke, but it was the reality they must face. Now they only have to pray for letting Tristan pulled out from the slumber he had slipped into.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the corner of Country X, Ashley’s unconscious body was brought to a secluded place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, somewhere no one tried to avert their eyes.

As she lay unconsciously on the sick bed inside the treatment room, the doctor examined her current state.

After a brief examination, the doctor finally opened his mouth.

"The baby and the mother both are doing fine" the doctor concluded checking her vitals and turning to face the woman whose eyes darkened on his statement.

"Baby.." Sandra who stood there gave the doctor a confused look.

"Yes.. she is two months old" the doctor confirmed and left from there with only Sandra inside the room.

Darkness surrounded her eyes as she watched Ashley lay on the bed. The fury she had been holding within intensified as her vein popped out on her forehead.

"You snatched my Tristan away from me... now I will snatch your baby from you. But there’s still some time for it darling. The pain will be slow and steady" Sandra muttered with a shivering tone as a manic smile crept her lips making her look crazy as she stared at Ashley from a distance.

*****

Gabriel who received the news, mobilized his men to find Ashley. He used every source possible that would help them track Ashley’s whereabout, but so far till now, he didn’t receive any positive feedback.

"Damnit..." slamming his hand on the hard surface of the table Gabriel watched the CCTV footage where Tristan car was hit by a random truck.

The collision was so impactful that the car flew way rolling towards the tree hitting it roughly.

No doubt the driver died on spot and Tristan received serious injuries.

Dropping his head, Gabriel cursed for the failure they recieved for delaying Sandra’s matter for too long when..

"Boss... over there"

Gabriel his head in Tori’s direction who too was present with him along with Max followed her gaze and turned his eyes back on the screen.

A chilling gleam passed through Gabriel’s eyes and he instructed with an extremely cold tone. "Fetch Patrick here"

Both Tori and Max gulped at the sigh of Gabriel’s terrifying aura. Bobbing their head both left the base, following his orders.

Gabriel watched Lucas and a few men carry Ashley unconscious body along with them leaving Tristan stranded inside the car dying...

[Hospital]

Grace peeked from the squared shape window and watched Tristan laying on the side bed with so many wires wrapped around.

His head was coverage with bandage while his right hand wrapped with a plaster. His always smiling face had now turned pale with lots of scratching over it.

"Wake up Tristan... Ashley needs you..." she cried silently touched the glass as if she was touching Tristan through it.

Ashley’s whereabouts where still unknown, but deep inside Grace had a nagging feeling that something wrong was going to happen and to stop it Tristan had to wake up and find his wife as soon as possible.
