Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 67

Mary pov

I stared at Jaxon as he drove off in his car. I could not believe it! He did not even seem to look like someone who was even a little bit worried; that was just so absurd.

I decided just to stay silent to make things easier. After all, I have not been able to talk to Jaxon or Aria, excepting nothing.

From the looks of it, I don’t think I would always be able to believe Timothy’s words, so I sat silently going through my phone even though there was nothing important I was checking.

I just continue to scroll through it so that the passengers do not see me as a maniac. One thing led to another, and I was soon going through my and Aria’s chart, making me emotional again.

As I went through the chats that were shared between us. I couldn’t help but feel like I missed Aria so much, and truly, I did. I just wanted to see her more than anything now.

The only thing keeping me from seeing the one best person in my life was this stupid traffic, and I couldn’t wait for it to be over yet.

It took two to three hours before we got to the hospital due to how far it was, and the traffic was too hectic due to the weather.

When I got to the hospital, it was already raining badly, but that did not stop me from running so fast into the hospital room. That’s all I needed to do was see Aria when I got to the hospital; I ran straight to the nurse, who was at the deck, going through some files. I knew she was the only one who would tell me what to do.

I immediately told her that I needed to see my friend Aria, who was here due to some medical issues. She went through her documents for some minutes, and afterward, she smiled at me but became sad again.

I became a bit worried as I wondered what the problem could have been and why it did not seem that way. She paced a bit closer to me.

"Are you sure this friend of yours is only here due to little medical problems?" She muttered to me, making me so scared. I could feel my heart shaking in my chest.

"Can you tell me if anything is wrong in any way?" I told the woman, a bit scared;

"you should have been here sooner. She is in the operating room, and I think she will soon be out, so you have to wait for her." The nurse said to me, sadly,

"what do you mean by she is in the operating room? she is perfectly fine and cannot be in the operating room."

The nurse muttered she was in the operating room, and that was because she had such a serious injury.

"You would not even believe it, so you have to wait till it is over, and then you can go and see her, but I don’t think she would be awake anytime soon." The nurse replied to me as she continued what she was doing.

I felt so much pity for Aria. I thought it was just minor injuries like Maya’s, but why am I hearing she is in the emergency room?

I sat quietly beside one lady who seemed to be on the call and saw some other things as she was crying her eyes out. I also felt like crying each time. I recall that Aria was also in a serious emergency problem. I checked the time, and it was now one hour past the time.

Suddenly, as I sat there, I remembered seeing Jaxon’s car. I wasted no time rushing back outside to confirm my fears, only to see it was truly Jaxon’s car there.

I covered my mouth in shock. Does that mean Jaxon was here just as I returned to the hospital room? The nurse who had told me about Aria’s emergency was searching for me. When she saw me, she walked towards me,

"You can go see her now she has been transferred to her ward number room 512", the nurse said as I smiled gratefully at before, but due to how big the hospital was, it was a bit difficult to find room 512, which I eventually found.

I stood in front of the door, shaking with fright; what if she had woken up and would hate me for not coming to check on her?

My hand began to shake as I placed it on the doorknob. I decided not just to walk in but instead knock for privacy, but I got no response until I opened the door to see Jaxon sitting beside Aria and staring at the door, which was staring at me.

"Mary, why are you here," Jaxon said to me. I couldn’t believe that was what he would say to me.

"Do not speak to me!! I can’t believe you hid all this from me, are you forgetting this fact that I am her best friend and I was meant to be aware of all this!! Is this even right and you hid her!!" I yelled at him

"Something this disastrous and horrible happened to her and you didn’t even share it with me. Do you even know how hard it was to get here and now I am seeing her getting her breath of life on a life machine." I said to him

"I am so sorry but I just got too choked up taking care of her and totally forgot about the fact that you weren’t here with her." He lied,

"You and Timothy are just one of the worst friends ever, I just can’t believe you would keep her from me." I continued being very angry with Jaxon as I couldn’t even believe this.

"Something like this was done to her and you couldn’t report maya to the police! I can’t believe you guys are doing something this bad to her." I muttered.

"Don’t say that!! When I got the news and came here I pleaded with Aria to please let me report it but she claimed it would make things really worst fir her in school as all she wanted was to be like a ghost in the school till graduates and after much pleading I accepted and took care of her." He tried to explain to me hoping I would understand but instead all the tears I tried holding in came piring out..

"I thought you two loved her?How else am I meant to believe that if something like this happened to her and you guys couldn’t do anything about it."I said just so he could feel guilty. That was a secret I wasn’t going to keep anymore.
