15- Looking For Him (Book 2)

As soon as the car came to a halt, I jumped out without waiting for Justin or any of my friends.

“The club casualties…” I began to say, but the receptionist interrupted me, gesturing towards a counter on the right. “Ma’am, you can get all the information you need from there. The patients have been moved to that ward,” she said in a professional tone.

I made my way to the small waiting area of the hospital, where a young doctor was calling out injured people’s names along with the ward numbers while panicked people were gathering around him.

“Sir!” I tried to scream over the chaos, but my voice was drowned out. Unable to stand still, I rushed down the hallway to the said wards.

Adonis! Please don’t you dare die on me! Don’t you fu*cing die, Adonis. If you do, I’ll kill you myself! I swear I will kill you!

I sobbed without realizing it, tears streaming down my face.

I kept looking for him on every bed, in every ward but he was nowhere.

I wanted Justin to take me to the club, but no one was allowed to step foot within. twenty-five feet of the accident place. Even my salon was supposed to be closed for the next few days.

Looking around helplessly, I covered my mouth to stifle my sob and walked back to bump into someone.

“I am sorry,” I said carelessly only to find Justin standing behind me, “Justin?” I held his arms and looked into his eyes.

He shook his head at my silent question. He couldn’t find him either. Ashley and Aniya didn’t know how to console me.

“Mr. Justin Deluca?” A doctor who seemed to be of the same age as Justin, approached us, “Have you checked the wards? Did you go through the lists?”

“I just checked the wards,” I spoke, Couldn’t check the lists because it was too crowded.” He nodded at me and asked a genitor to bring us the lists.

“Here they are,” he handed the file to Justin. I, at once, grabbed it from him and started looking at the names.

The first few pages didn’t have his name. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

However, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach when on the next page there was clearly written heading, ‘Declared Dead!”

Handing over the file to Justin, I moved away holding my forehead. I wanted to puke.

“Eve!” Ashley came after me, “Are you feeling sick? Should I take you to the bathroom? Please don’t give up. We will find him.”

“Talk to us, love.” I heard Aniya’s voice.

I opened my mouth to speak but couldn’t utter a word. Instead, I started crying.

“He asked me for a chance,” I hugged Ashley, “he wanted a chance for us, Ash.”

She was holding me tightly and I could feel Aniya hugging me from behind. I raised my head and wiped my cheeks stubbornly, “I was panicked. Maybe I missed him among those patients,” Before my friends could say anything, I turned on my heels and sprinted to the wards again.

I needed to look for him carefully. He must be there among those patients. The word ‘ Declared Dead’ kept popping into my mind.

Disturbing images of the past were playing before my eyes.

When I lost Elijah, I could not cry. I could not complain to anyone except Aniya.

Because we needed to hide the news from Ashley.

I could not get the chance to see Elijah’s or Sam’s face. A small part of their body was buried under the soil.

I resumed, frantically, searching for Adonis in each ward, checking every bed again, and looking for any sign of him. But he was nowhere to be found.

There were other people too, looking for their loved ones.

My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest, and tears continued to stream. down my face. I was desperate for any sign of him, any clue that he was okay. But my hope was dwindling with each passing moment.

Please, God. Show me a sign. Just like you did to Ash when she asked you. Dear God! I also want a sign.

Justin came up beside me and I clung to him, trying to draw some strength from his presence. The poor man was in contact with different doctors in the hospital. He had sent someone to look for other hospitals too. According to his knowledge, all the victims were brought here.

My heart sank even lower, and I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair.

I stumbled backwards but Ashley standing behind me, reached out to steady me, concern etched across her face. “Eve, do you want to sit?” she asked.

This time, I couldn’t even find the words to respond, so I simply shook my head. Aniya came up and wrapped her arms around me, and I clung to her as well. It felt like the only thing holding me together at that moment was their friendship.

“Aniya. Remember how they detected. Elijah’s body by his engagement ring? Sam’s body was detected by DNA.” I tried to remind Aniya who seemed to be breaking apart. No matter how careless she acted around me, I knew there was a kind and caring heart hidden behind that exterior.

“Where to find him?” I sobbed, my words. barely audible through my tears. “I can’t start looking up for him in the dead list. I did it two years back.”

The thought of never seeing Adonis again, never getting that chance with him, was too much to bear. I felt like I was falling apart, and the world around me was spinning out of control.

All I wanted was to find him, to know that he was okay. Just to look at his face. But the only thing my eyes could manage was to keep searching, hoping against hope that I would find him alive and well.

Justin was still holding the file. What if I re- check the list too? I asked Justin for the file and took a nearby chair. My heart dropped with every passing name.

Oh, please, Adonis. Be there.

But there was no sign of Adonis. I flipped through the pages more frantically now, my fingers trembling with fear.

I looked up to face my friends, tears making my face wet, “What if he’s not even in this hospital?”

“I have asked my friends to put a tab. We’ll keep looking, Eve,” Justin said, his voice firm but his eyes betraying his own fear.

Suddenly I stood up when the same doctor rushed in, a clipboard in his hand, “We checked all the hospitals, all the morgues.

But there’s no sign of him.”

Morgues? Did he say morgues? I could never visit Elijah’s morgue.

“There are still people whose body needs to be detected by using their DNA.” The doctor informed us, “This list is still incomplete.”

The poor man was still trying to give us hope.”

My knees buckled and I felt Ashley’s arms. around me, holding me up. “No, no, no,” I repeated like a mantra, “This can’t be happening.”

Deep down I knew that it was unlikely we would find anything. The weight of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. He was missing, and we had no idea where he was or what had happened to him. All I could do was pray and hope that he was okay, wherever he was.

After a few minutes that seemed like a lifetime, I called Justin, “Justin! Can you please look for him on the dead one’s list?”

I felt their silence and looked at my friends.

“It’s ok,” I tried to smile but failed miserably, “It’s better if we do it as soon as possible. Let’s get done with it.”

Justin nodded and took the older file from Aniya’s hand. It seemed he didn’t even bother to glance at the forbidden list before.

He was going through each and every page and Aniya and Ashley were leaning on the file too. Maybe to double-check.

Just then his phone started ringing. He took out the phone from his pocket and walked away, his face grim. I could feel my heart racing as I waited for his return. The silence was deafening, broken only by the sound of my own labored breathing and the muffled sobs of people around me.

As Justin walked back towards us, I could see the disappointment etched on his face. He shook his head again, and I knew what that meant. Adonis wasn’t among the dead. either. There was no record of him in any other hospital. My heart sank like a stone. The reality of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks.

I felt like a helpless bystander, waiting for someone to swoop in and save me from the pain. But there was no one. I had to face the harsh truth that Adonis was missing, and no one knew where he was. The thought of him lying injured somewhere, or worse, sent shivers down my spine.

Thinking realistically, his dead body might be lying somewhere under that…

I hugged myself tightly, trying to ward off the chill that was creeping up my spine. The waiting room had become my personal hell, and I wanted nothing more than to escape from it. But I couldn’t leave, not without knowing if Adonis was okay.

The waiting seemed endless. I felt like we had been waiting for hours, but in reality, it had only been one hour. It felt like the world.

had stopped, and we were frozen in time.

I looked at my friends, and then my eyes shifted to the people around me. All I could see was the same fear and despair in their eyes that I felt.

As we sat there, lost in our own thoughts, the reality of the situation slowly sank in. Adonis was missing, and we didn’t know where to look for him. We had to face the fact that he might not be found alive, and the thought was too much to bear.

Just then another chaos rose in the corridor. A group of doctors were running with a stretcher.

Was it Adonis?

I stood up.

“She is some girl who was discovered under the rubble.” I heard a doctor telling someone. So, it was not Adonis.

The injured person was not Adonis. Then where was he? I looked at my friends to ask them if we need to go to some other hospital because this hospital’s capacity seemed to reach its maximum.

My friends were looking at me open- mouthed. I frowned and was about to ask why they were looking at me oddly when I realized that they were looking right behind My heart skipped a beat.

Gradually I turned around and found myself staring into those familiar blue eyes. His face was red, covered in blood, his white shirt was also soaking in blood.

“Adonis?” I whispered.

“Looking for someone, long legs?”

The moment I heard his voice I lunged at him and clutched him tightly.
