Page 69 of My Tempting Woman

All the way Stephen held Eva close to her, whereas Rose was in tears looking at the naive girl. She was trying to understand how this happened just moments before she left Eva all fine on the lawn.

As Stephen observed Eva's face, he noticed her pale complexion and the tear stains that still adorned her cheeks. He is unaware of the events that occurred at Thompson's residence, however; he was unwilling to consider it a mere accident. A person has articulated their desire for harm towards their female companion.

Within some time they reached the hospital, Stephen was the first to get to the hospital with an unconscious Eva in his armsThe team of doctors started attending to her, and soon William and Steve also arrived at the hospital. William found his wife weeping silently. He rushed to her first. Rose hugged William the moment she spotted him

“I am so sorry, William. I couldn’t take care of her. Trust me, I was leaving the party the moment I saw her worried face, but before we could…”

“Calm down, Rose; it’s not your fault, and don’t worry, she will be fine soon."

Steve handed a glass of water to his mother while Stephen was in the emergency room. The nurse requested that she leave the room, but he ignored her. Eventually, the doctor requests Stephen to leave the room.

“Ok, I will leave this room, but I want her fine; no matter what you need to do, if you want any specialists, then arrange for it.Don’t care about money, but I want her fine. Just make a note in your mind; nothing I repeat, nothing should happen to her."

The moment Stephen exited the room, he reached to his mother, who was still weeping to hold William near to her

“How is she? What the doctor is...

“They are still examining her. “

Silence prevailed in the lobby. Robert also reach the hospital listening to the incident

Richard narrated the incident to his father, too., only that he witnessed as it shocked him to see Eva in that state

After half an hour, the doctor got acquainted with the smith family

William was the first one to ask, ‘How is she? What happened to her?”

"She is fine, Mr. Smith. Maybe she suffered from an anxiety attack. We gave her some essential medication. For now, she needs to rest.”

“And what about the injury?”

“First it looked like a slight cut, but then we noticed it was deep too. We have already treated it, but it will take some days to heal completely.”

“Can we meet her?”

“Yes, she is going to shift in the room, but she will gain consciousness after some time.”

William thanked the doctor, and all of them waited to meet Eva. Soon after, they shifted Eva to the VIP room. Stephen already gave instructions to the hospital authority that he wants the best services for Eva.

Rose looked at the pale girl, who was lying on the bed with closed eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes looking at her condition. She went near her in slow steps and stroked her head in slow motion.

“Dad, “ Eva murmured in sleep

Listening to which Rose couldn’t hold her sob, she left the room. Steve followed his mom. Whereas William got settled on the nearby couch

Rose was crying badly outside the room and Steve was trying to console her. “Mom, please, she is doing fine now

“What will I say to Michael? How will I face him now? You know, he already told me about Eva’s fear of dogs. And I instructed Mrs. Thompson too. She ordered the staff to fasten the dogs. Then how the hell did this happen? Poor girl; she was already not well despite that. She didn’t refuse my wish.”

Stephen, who was also listening to his mother, got something suspicious, so he went near her mom and inquired about her

“Mom, can you please tell me what happened there.?”

Rose gave a nod at him and narrated all the incidents series-wise to Stephen.

Stephen didn’t waste time and called the head of his security team. He ordered him to bring the guard of Thompsons to him, as he now has to answer many questions.

It was already night, so Rose stayed in the hospital with Eva, so William and Steve left for their home, whereas Stephen left for some important work, but before leaving, he made sure of the security arrangements in the hospital.
