Chapter 412: Found the clue

A few hours passed and yet Tristan didn’t show any sign of movement as he just lay unconscious on the bed. A machine kept monitoring his vitals making sure everything was fine.

Blood was infused into his body, yet the man didn’t wake up.

As if he was too tired to even stir and wanted to keep sleeping without bothering anyone.

As the man remained unconscious, the door of his room click opened and a woman walked him.

Her steps were steady as she made her way toward Tristan.

Her calm eyes looked at him but soon she furrowed and reached her hand to touch his face.

"Tristan... hubby... how long do you want to sleep" she complained cupping his cheeks, slowly stroking it with her thumb.

Tristan who had been in deep slumber flinched at the voice. His eyes were still closed but the warmth of that familiar hand running over his face gave him a sense of peace.

’Ashley’ he muttered the only name engraved in his heart and slowly opened his eyes leaning closer towards the touch of her soft palm.

The light inside the room bothered his view but soon it stabilized and he could finally see her standing next to him.

A smile crept on his face, as his heart began to beat rapidly finally finding her closer to him.

"Nothing happened to you" he whispered in his hoarse voice.

The memory of her lying unconscious in his arm remained imprinted in his mind.

Thinking something happened to her stopped him from waking up but now that she was standing in front of his safe and sound, he couldn’t help but want to touch her.

Suddenly she stopped stroking him and straightened up. "It’s time for you to get out the bed. I and our little bean are waiting for you" she said as the smile on her face slowly faded replacing it with pain.

Tristan couldn’t understand her words, frowned as he watched her take a step back from him.

"A-Ash.. where are you going" Panic surged into his heart as he reached out his hand to hold her but to his surprise she kept taking a step back.

"You have to wake up Tristan... we both are waiting for you.." her teary eyes stared at him from her distance.

"D-don’t go... please... Ash.." Tristan tried to get up but felt restricted as he couldn’t even move his body.

"We are waiting for you hubby... me and our little bean... we both need you" Just like her frame even her voice slowly began to fade and soon she was gone.

"Ashley... stop...don’t go...please" As Tristan screamed his lungs out the machine monitoring his body suddenly began to beep.

Tristan’s entire body was trembling on the bed as his chest heaved up and down due to difficulty in breathing...

"What’s wrong with him..." The nurse who was examining him had so some process in his situation but all of sudden what happened to him?

"Oh god... what should I do.." the nurse panicked at Tristan’s current behavior, quickly informed the doctor about the emergency.

Tristan’s family who were still outside the ward panicked when they saw Taylor and a few other staff rushed towards them.

"What happened?" Noah was the first one who tried to ask his father but due to the emergency, he walk past him leaving everyone worried outside.

Grace’s heart was beating rapidly as she watched the close door. Her mouth didn’t stop mumbling the chants, praying to god for her son’s safety.

"Trevor.. what’s wrong.." she asked her husband who had been by her side the entire time as she looked at Tristan’s ward.

"Everything is fine... don’t worry" was the only words he kept telling for god knows how many times.

Everyone outside turned serious as their eyes never parted from the door and soon after twenty minutes the door flung open and Taylor walked out.

The fatigue on his face was now replaced with amusement as he approached them and declared," Tristan... he is awake and out of danger"

A wave of happiness cross everyone’s eyes as they cried with joy embracing each other.

"Thank you so much" Grace couldn’t help but thank the almighty for listening to her prayers. Now she only had one request and that was to find Ashley.

"Everything seems fine and there is nothing to worry but..." Taylor stopped catching everyone’s attention towards him.

"But remember he still has a wounded head which requires healing. Informing about Ashley’s abduction will stress him" he warned the family members as it was the very first question he asked the moment he opened his eyes.

’Ashley... how is she?’

"Because I doubt he is going to ask about her well-being" he concluded heaving out a deep breath.

Tristan was like a son to Taylor. Though they shared a relation of rivals in the business field, he still cared for him. For now, he brushed off the question but he doubted whether he was going to stop there.

Everyone fell silent at the mention of Ashley’s name. Hours passed, since Ashley’s abduction, yet they weren’t able to find her.

Karl who drove to the base on Gabriel’s call was yet to break any positive news regarding the matter.

Everyone was anxiously hoping to find Ashley before Tristan woke up from the temporary coma, but now they wondered what they would tell him if he asked about his wife to them.

As everyone was trying to come up with a better reason for delaying this matter, Gwen’s phone rang and she excused herself.

"Hello, Karl.. brother woke up" This was the first thing she said the moment she answered the call.

" That’s great news..." Karl said as he heaved out a sigh of relief. But soon that easiness vanished the moment he recalled what Gabriel told him after his arrival.

"Gwen.. we found the clue" he announced.

"What.." Gwen almost yelped inside the corridor catching everyone’s eyes.

"How... where is she? Have you sent our men to bring her? Or is Gabriel bringing her" She started to bombard him with questions.

Everyone could finally relax knowing that they finally found Ashley and she couldn’t wait for them to bring her back to her brother’s side.

Karl could sense the excitement in her voice but he had to break her happiness as the news he was going to reveal would leave them shocked.

"No Gwen, we haven’t found Ashley yet. We just found the person who abducted her" he said with a depressed tone crumbling all her hopes.

The shine in her eyes dimmed and a lump formed in her throat. "W-who is it?" she asked with much difficulty.

"Sandra..."
