Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 82 - Accident

"Are you alright? You look a little lost." Daniel held Rachel in his arms and stared at her.

"Yes, yes. I am fine. I was thinking about Ivy and her sister." Rachel said, as she hugged Daniel. I know those girls have had it bad since Uncle went missing. It had become difficult for them, they overcame it eventually with time.

Rachel was silent. She was thinking about what the future held for them. She was worried about her brother in particular. He had taken a liking towards Aria and if she found out that he was the one who had kidnapped her father, then things might not go well for him.

"Are you alright?" Daniel asked again. He felt that she was behaving weird.

"I am a little tired, that's it. I'll go home and have some sleep, I'll be fine. I'll see you later." Rachel picked up her bag.

"Do you want me to drop you?" Daniel looked at her worried.

"No, I am fine. By the way, I have got the plan for your firm approved. You just have to go to the office to do some follow-ups."

"Sure."

Rachel sat in her car and made a call to Noah.

"Yes."

"Noah, I have something important to tell you."

"Hmm."

"It's about Aria."

"What about her?"

"She is Oliver's daughter."

"How did you know about that?"

"You already knew about it."

"Yes."

"I met her twin today. You know Daniel Adler right?"

"Your current boyfriend? Yes."

"How? How did you know that?" Rachel was shocked. She never knew her brother was keeping tabs on her.

"I know everything. Come to the point."

"I met Aria's twin, Ivy, at his office today. She is taking his help to find her father."

"Wait a minute." Daniel's name struck a chord in his mind. 'Was Daniel and Danny one and the same? I need to find out about it.'

"Is it?"

"And brother, guess what?"

"What?"

"They also know that a few weeks back, Oliver was admitted to the Royal Health Care Hospital. This is the reason why they have increased their attempts to search for him."

"This is bad."

"I know. But, I feel it's better if you tell them about their father as early as possible. How serious are you about Aria?"

"Very."

"And, what about her?"

"She likes me too."

"Then brother, tell her before it becomes too late."

"Rachel, I am stuck in the middle. I want to tell them desperately. I want to tell her everything, this secret is killing me. Every time I see her face, I feel guilty. But, I can't help it. Her life will be in danger if she finds out about her father and moreover she will not be able to tolerate hearing about him."

"What do you mean? Is his condition still critical?"

"Yes, in fact. His organs are failing one by one. I cannot take her to him now, she will be devastated."

Rachel sighed. She knew her brother was right. Everything right now was messed up. No one knew what to do.

"What about Ian? Did he find out any cure for Oliver?"

"No luck yet. He is trying. Every time the drug he administers acts only for a few hours, then again he slips into a coma."

"I pity them you know. They only have each other." Rachel sympathized.

"Now they have me."

"Yes. Take care of them okay."

"Yes."

Rachel ended the call and looked straight ahead. She was lost in thoughts, she did not know what to do. She was utterly confused.

After a long time, she started the car and drove towards her house. On the way, she was so lost her thoughts that she lost control of her car. Also she did not see the car coming in her direction. She rammed into it and the car in front of her made a double flip and rolled a few meters back.

Rachel's head banged with the windshield and blood started to trickle from her forehead. Her body was aching and she could see black spots in front of her. She shook her head and due to this action blood drops fell off her forehead.

She picked her phone and called the ambulance. She could only manage to tell her location when she fainted. She couldn't even make out the loud noises outside her.

Seeing the loud band, people started to crowd around them. They ran towards the car that had flipped over while some people tried to open the other car.

With great difficulty, the flipped car's door was opened. It was a woman who was at the driver's seat. She was covered in blood. Someone released her seat belt and she plopped onto the ground due to gravity. They pulled her body out of the car and laid her on the ground.

Meanwhile, Rachel was also out of the car. She was less wounded compared to the other woman. In less than a few minutes, the ambulance arrived and it laid both the woman on the stretcher. It immediately took off.

The attending doctor first attended the severely wounded woman. Her face was covered with blood, it was even difficult to recognize her. The doctor cleaned the blood off her face and checked her vitals. She was breathing, however, her pulse was very low. Her situation was critical.

The ambulance zoomed past the traffic and arrived at the Regal Medical Hospital in less than twenty minutes. By then the doctor had given them the necessary first aid.

Rachel and the unknown woman were wheeled inside the hospital. Ian was waiting for them, he had been informed of the accident. But he did not know that it was Rachel who had been in the accident. As soon as he saw her, he was shocked. But her condition looked a lot more stable than the other woman who looked very serious.

He gave his orders for the junior doctor to handle Rachel. Just by looking at her, he could make out that she was fine. Her life was not in danger. Meanwhile the other woman was already in the OT.

Ian went to her and checked her condition. Her mouth was covered with an oxygen mask and her heartbeat was very low.

He checked up on her and found her to be bleeding from the backside of her head. He made her lie on her stomach and saw that she was severely injured. His hands were immediately covered with blood.

"Shit." He cursed.

"Get a neurosurgeon right now. Make it fast, otherwise, she might slip into a coma." He barked at the nurse beside him.

"Yes doctor." The nurse scurried away.

Ian saw a card sticking out of her pant pocket. He pulled it out, it was an ID card.

It belonged to Valarie Evans and she worked for the Intelligence.
