Lucas felt his heart race in panic for a moment before he forced himself to snap out of it. He knelt down next to her and found that her breathing was normal and he even went the extra step to check for any injuries which she didn’t have. With a sigh of relief, he got up and rushed to the bedroom to pick up a blanket.

He wrapped her in the blanket and carried her out. He kept on calling her name softly even as he was in the elevator and once they arrived on the ground floor, he almost sprinted out of the hotel. His driver spotted him and rushed to get out of the car and opened the door for him. Lucas got in the car and tried to make Jen as comfortable as possible.

“Go to the hospital,” Lucas ordered the moment the driver got back in the car. The car started and they were off. This time, Lucas didn’t even need to urge the driver to drive faster as he could read the mood. It was no wonder his boss had been in such a weird mood all day, the madam was sick.

“Jen, sweetheart, wake up,” Lucas said as he patted her cheek. He was panicked and scared, so much so his hands were even shaking.

“Jen wake up,” Lucas continued to call her while shaking her. His driver felt his back break into a cold sweat. He really hoped nothing serious happened.

As Lucas continued to try to coax her awake, Jen’s eyes finally blinked open. Lucas felt so relieved tears stung his eyes. Jen who was not even properly awake felt him bury his face in her neck as he tightly hugged her into his body. She could feel him shaking and she could imagine how terrified he had been.

She still didn’t have much strength but she still did her best to hug him back and comfort him. Lucas felt her try to hug him back and his heart ached. Jen was aware she had blacked out, although she was not sure how long she had been unconscious for.

“Next time I’ll take you to the hospital by force,” Lucas said, trying to sound stern but his shaky breathing gave away his fear.

“You can do what you want next time,” Jen agreed. She had really been reckless with herself this time, she should have gone since she arrived since her body had been off for quite a while.

“You can’t say no,” Lucas said and Jen agreed with him. With how horrible she felt earlier, she had also felt afraid. Even now she was still a bit dizzy but it wasn’t as bad as it was earlier.

“I won’t,” Jen agreed. She had no intentions of experiencing something like this again.

“Lucas, I’m still a bit dizzy,” Jen said and the hands that were hugging him loosened. Lucas finally stopped hugging her and looked at her worriedly.

“Rest a bit longer, we’ll be at the hospital soon,” he said as he held her closer to himself. Jen nodded and closed her eyes once more. She couldn’t fall asleep, but her staying still made her feel better.

Lucas felt a bit better after she woke up, and the panicked expression on his face had eased up a lot. Even the driver was not as tense as he had been at the beginning of the trip.

Lucas called Ethan and asked him to make arrangements for them since the hospital they were going to was a subsidiary of their hospital. So the moment Lucas dashed into the ER while holding Jen, the two were received by the staff and led to the VIP ward.

“What happened?” he hospital director asked as he rushed into the room. God knows how he had panicked when the higher-ups called him in the middle of the night to tend to an emergency patient.

“I’m not too sure, she complained of a headache this morning before I left for work and I found her passed out on the floor when a went back home earlier. She woke for a bit and complained that she was dizzy.

Lucas who was still wearing his home slippers and while thoroughly disheveled looked very pitiful in the doctors’ eyes. He stood next to the hospital bed while holding Jen’s hand as he stared at her with anxiety written all over his face.

After the doctors checked on her condition, they decided on what tests they were going to conduct and Jen was wheeled out of the ward. Lucas faithfully followed them around, he was everywhere except for the places that he was not allowed to go.

They did CT scans and x-rays to make sure she didn’t hurt her head and took some blood for bloodwork, before wheeling her back to her ward. Lucas followed behind the doctors and after the doctors asked him a few more questions about any changes in her diet or appetite, they finally left the two alone.

Lucas was exhausted but he couldn’t rest easy until he knew what was wrong with her. So he sat down next to her and held her hand while looking at her sleeping self. After another twenty minutes or so, Jen opened her eyes and saw Lucas sitting next to her while holding her hands.

She could see that he looked tired from his bloodshot eyes and she knew that he probably hasn’t had anything to eat. She had passed out while cooking dinner and here he was starving! How tragic was that?

“You should rest for a bit,” Jen said as she reached out to touch his cheek. He looked like he lost ten kg in a few hours.

“We need to know what is going on first, I won’t be able to sleep otherwise,” Lucas said as he kissed the palm of her hand. They were giving her fluids so he was careful not to tamper with her hands too much.

“You look tired, I had even made you dinner,” Jen complained as she looked at her tired boyfriend while feeling aggrieved.

“You shouldn’t have made dinner if you weren’t feeling well, you should have called so I could take you to the hospital,” Lucas said in a low voice.

“I’m sorry, for making you worry,” Jen said and felt her guilt increase the more she looked at him. She didn’t think the situation would have escalated to reach this point.

“It’s alright, just tell me when you are uncomfortable next time, don’t hold it in, you know I’m here for you right?” Lucas said as he moved a few stray hairs away from her face.

“Mmmh,” Jen answered while lost in thought. She felt bad for making him go through something like this because of her. She couldn’t help but beat herself up for being so irresponsible.

“Don’t think about it too much, aren’t we here already?” Lucas said when he noticed her silence. He knew she was blaming herself, it was so obvious because her facial expression was saying that she was feeling guilty. Jen pursed her lips together as she looked at him before nodding her head in agreement.
