Day Six..

"Just drive! They are catching up," a woman's voice echoed from the other line. "Turn to the right! Speed up!"

Nathan heard the woman instructing Aiden what he should do. He facepalmed, wondering how Aiden got involved in this. But then, Aiden's words popped up in his mind– "A Beautiful Woman!"

Nathan facepalmed. He didn't know whether he would laugh or scold Aiden. He got in trouble again because of a woman. It's not a surprise since Aiden always attracts trouble when it comes to women.

'Why is she being followed by those men?' Nathan pondered.

"Where are you?" Nathan asked Aiden. He was thinking of sending his men to help Aiden. Who knows those men chasing after them are dangerous people?

"Macbride Street going to Towerville City Bridge!" Aiden replied before the call got disconnected.

*Toot!* *Toot!* *Toot!*

"What happened? What did he say?" Stephen asked Nathan curiously.

Nathan just passed the phone to Stephen. He picked up his own mobile phone inside his pocket and dialed his subordinate's number. He would dispatch a team to protect Aiden and the woman with him.

"Spider, Bring your team to Towerville City Bridge and escort a red sports car. Plate no. RZX 0194."

Stephen's eyes widened when he heard that. It looked like their other friend was in trouble again. And here comes Nathan– to the rescue!n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

'What Aiden had done this time?' Stephen thought, shaking his head helplessly.

[ Flashback: Two hours ago.. ]

Aiden went to the Casino to kill some time. They were supposed to meet at around 7:00 pm. He had a good time with his date. Since he was lucky today, he won Three Million Dollars in the Casino.

He was as happy as clam. He told Stephen and Nathan that he would treat them tonight. He would pay all the bills and it's on him!

But who would have thought that his luck would not just end with that as he encountered something unexpected when he left the casino.

Aiden was about to leave the parking lot when a woman suddenly stopped in front of his car. He almost bumped into her. Fortunately, Aiden was able to react quickly, stepping on the brake.

He cursed and was about to yell, scolding the person but he stopped midway as soon as he saw the woman's face. She had two beautiful brown eyes. She was as white as the snow. She has long golden brown hair, cascading down her shoulders.

Aiden blinked in admiration, his eyes surveying her small yet charming face. She looked like a lost puppy.

'What's wrong with her?' Aiden thought to himself as he noticed the beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her chest was heaving up and down as if she was gasping for air.

'Did she run or something? She looks very exhausted.' Aiden added to his thoughts.

He stepped out of the car to ask her personally. "Miss, are you okay? Do you need something? Are you lost?"

Aiden's eyes scanned her from top to bottom. The woman was wearing sleeveless tops and blue jeans with matching white rubber shoes. She didn't look like a customer of the Casino.

Just when Aiden reached the woman's spot, she suddenly lost her footing and collapsed before his eyes. Aiden's eyes widened but he subconsciously extended his hands to catch her. Aiden was able to hold her body.

"Miss! Miss! Are you okay?" He tried to tap her face while his right hand was supporting her back, making her lean on his chest.

But the woman fainted. She was no longer responding. Aiden panicked as he didn't know what to do. He darted his gaze from left to right, searching for someone whom he could ask for help.

Aiden was not used to situations like this. Nathan and Stephen could handle this kind of emergency in a calm manner as compared to him.

"Fuck! What should I do?" Aiden felt like crying as he shifted his gaze back to the unconscious woman.

It did not take long before he carried her, putting her in the front passenger seat. He fixed her position, fastening her seatbelt. He even adjusted the seat so that she could lie comfortably on the passenger seat.

When he finally arranged her position, he quickly walked around, going to the driver's seat. He entered the car and drove the car. He had one destination in mind– the nearest hospital!

Aiden sped up, rushing to the hospital. He was feeling anxious. He kept looking at her as he drove the car, shifting his gaze from the road to her and vice versa.

"What happened to her? Is she sick or something? What is she doing here in the Casino?" Aiden kept asking himself as he continued driving. Because his mind was preoccupied with a beautiful lady who was ill, Aiden forgot to inform Nathan and Stephen about his situation.

Twenty minutes later, Aiden arrived at Maxim Medical Center. He dashed out of his car and carried the woman to the emergency room. The hint of concerns and worries could be seen in his eyes. He didn't know why she suddenly collapsed.

Upon reaching the emergency room, nurses and doctors approached them. He put down the woman on the stretcher and the nurse started asking him questions about the patient. The two exchanged conversations.

Nurse: "Sir what happened to her?"

Aiden: "I don't know. She just suddenly collapsed."

Nurse: "What is the patient's name sir? What is your relationship with her?"

Aiden: "I don't know. We just met today."

Nurse: "Anything unusual you observed?"

Aiden fell silent as he tried to remember what he saw a while ago. And all he could think of was her charming wet look as she was covered by sweat while panting so hard. She looked so exhausted.

Aiden shared this information with the nurse. The nurse just told him to wait outside as the doctor examined the patient. Aiden waited outside. He paced back and forth, still feeling worried. He even bit his nail as he glanced at the emergency room from time to time.

"What if she was just hungry? I think I should buy food for her." Aiden mumbled.

He immediately went out to buy food for the patient. This was one of Aiden's good qualities. He was thoughtful and caring, especially if the person involved was a beautiful woman like her.

Forgetting about his friends, Nathan and Stephen, who were waiting for him, Aiden continued to buy things for the woman whom he had just met tonight. As a man, he couldn't leave her alone especially if she needed his help.

Fifteen minutes later, Aiden came back to the hospital, holding one paper bag containing food and a basket filled with assorted fruits.

Upon seeing his arrival, the nurse who talked to him a while ago, approached him, giving him some items which belonged to the patient he brought there.

"Sir, these items are her things. We already transferred the patient to the ward. You can talk to Dr. Kim about his diagnosis to the patient." The nurse handed two items over to Aiden. The first one was a wallet and the second item was a cellphone.

Aiden checked her wallet first but he didn't see any identification card. Her phone was locked but when he pressed it, he saw her wallpaper.

Aiden frowned when he saw the black rose as her wallpaper. 'Eh? Why black rose? Not pink, white, or red?'

Aiden was puzzled by this. Black Rose signified death and mystery.

"Hmm, this woman intrigued me. She is like a mystery to me.."

Then Abigail flashed through his mind. "Why do I feel some similarity between the two of them?" Aiden mumbled, scratching the back of his head.

"Sir, the patient is now awake. You can talk to her now." The nurse informed him.

'Great! Now, I'm going to know her!'
