It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 201: WHERE IS DILLON?

Zia panicked when Hailee suddenly fainted and fell unconscious for a while, luckily she was quick enough to catch her cousin's body so there was nothing significant to worry about.

Maybe previously, Hailee would have felt a little disturbed by the presence of the four bodyguards who were constantly following her. Even though they were trying to blend in with the others, Hailee still knew that they were around her.

But, now things were different. Under these circumstances, they proved to be very useful. Because, when Zia was still flabbergasted and confused to digest that Hailee have actually lost consciousness, the four bodyguards immediately took action.

One of them immediately approached Hailee and lifted her carefully while coordinating with each other.

Their calm and professional demeanor allowed Zia to breathe a little easier. At least, she wasn't alone in this situation, because then she would definitely panic and be confused about what to do.

In a very short period of time, they were already in the car, where Zia hugged Hailee tightly, rubbing her cheek to make her beloved cousin open her eyes, while they drove to the nearest hospital.

Ramon was in the middle of a meeting when his cell phone vibrated, and only some important and closest people knew this number.

Therefore, Ramon picked up the call in the middle of a presentation from one of his marketing staff about the new market they were going to enter, especially when Ramon saw that the number calling him was the number of Pyro, the head of the bodyguards guarding Hailee.

So it was certain that something had happened to his wife, because there was no way Pyro would call him for an unimportant reason.

And sure enough, three seconds after Ramon heard the reason why Pyro called him. His facial expression changed to a deep frown between his eyebrows and when the call was disconnected, the staff present there could feel Ramon's mood changing so drastically.

"Meeting adjourned," Ramon said curtly as he rose from his chair and walked away, leaving the people there, still shocked by the change.

Since Ramon wasn't around and just left the room in the middle of the meeting, without the slightest explanation, their attention automatically turned to Lexus.

"What is wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Has Mr. Tordoff heard any bad news?"

"Did something bad happen?"

Meanwhile, Lexus, who was in the same confused state like them could only stared at them with blank face: Hey! I am just as confused as you guys, okay!?

Lexus didn't understand why Ramon suddenly looked panicked and just left. There were only a few things that could make the man leave the meeting voluntarily and whatever the reason, Lexus had to find out.

Giana was awakened by the constant mechanical beeping sounds, like the sound of her heartbeat, but this soft sound irritated her and she furrowed her brows in displeasure.

She didn't want to wake up and face reality. She wanted to go back to sleep and not have to think about the things that had been bothering her for so long. The darkness seemed more calming and peaceful, knowing what she had to face the moment her eyes opened.

However, of course Giana could not do that. She could not return to hide in the darkness that gave her a moment of calm.

Especially when she recalled everything, the seconds she felt like she had gone mad, lost her mind, when she was blindly trying to hurt Aidan and injured herself in the process.

Giana tried to raise her hand and touch her face, but her hand felt numb and she stopped the attempt after several tries.

"How do you feel?" A voice that Giana knew all too well startled her.

The voice came from her left. Maybe because Giana hadn't fully realized yet, that's why she didn't notice Aidan's presence there.

"How are you feeling now?" This time Aidan got up from the sofa he was sitting on in the corner of the room and walked over to Giana. He stood by her bed and stared at the haggard and pale face of the woman who, a few hours ago, had tried to kill him. The woman who was still his wife. The woman who was now the most sought after by the news hunters in this country.

Giana stared at Aidan for a moment, before closing her eyes again, as if to tell this man to stay away from her and not bother her now.

Giana's feelings now were hard to put into words and there was nothing she wanted to say to Aidan. Even to answer a simple question, she didn't have any desire.

Seeing Giana's reaction, Aidan couldn't do anything to force her to speak. Therefore, the only thing he could do was explaining the current state and situation.

Because Giana should know how bad things were out there right now. How bad of a plight Giana had thrown herself into through her reckless actions and long thoughts.

And also because the bad situation had not yet end. No, it wasn't even the culmination of the problems that Giana would face later. Because Aidan could tell that the situation would be much worse than this.

And Giana must prepare herself for that, since he wouldn't be able to do it for her.

At least, this was the last thing he could do for her…

But before that, Aidan had to make sure Giana had recovered a bit and could digest his words well, so he pressed the emergency button beside Giana's bed and called the doctor to run a check up on her.

It didn't take long for a doctor and two nurses to come to Giana's room, and during the wait, no words were spoken between the two of them.

Giana and Aidan were like two strangers who have to be confined in the same room, at the same time. Their relationship seemed to be much worse than anyone could imagine.

"…Mrs. Smith needs some bed rest, the wound on her hand needs extra attention so it doesn't leave a scar," the Doctor said at the end of his examination.

However, Giana who heard the explanation couldn't help but laugh wryly in her heart. She wasn't sure she would care about the scars on her hands when her reputation and good name were crumbling out there.

Then the doctor said some things that Giana didn't pay attention to. Because, her mind was only focused on the red sky from behind the large glass windows opposite her bed. Looking beautiful and relaxing...

She didn't want to think about anything else.

"Yes, I'll take care of everything," Aidan said dazedly, responding to the doctor's words and after a long explanation the medics finally left, leaving them alone again.

After making sure no one was there, Aidan pulled a chair to the side of Giana's bed and sat there, blocking the view of the evening sky that she was enjoying and making her frown as the sight before her was replaced with a figure she didn't want to see.

Thus, Giana turned in the opposite direction and looked at the sofa Aidan had been sitting on and the entire luxurious room in the hospital, but it felt cold and painful, without any warmth there.

"Listen, we have to talk about this matter," Aidan began. Under these conditions, even though Giana didn't want to pay attention to what Aidan had to say, she couldn't go anywhere either. Thus, she couldn't help but be forced to listen to him. "I understand you just woke up and are not in good shape for the news I'm about to tell you, but it's for your own good."

"Water," Giana said hoarsely, as if she hadn't been getting any liquid for years.

Hearing this, Aidan automatically stood up from his seat and went to the nearest table, poured a glass of mineral water and pressed the button on Giana's bed, to lift the top of the bed, making it easier for the woman to drink, so as not to choke.

Aidan also helped Giana by bringing the glass to her pale, chapped lips. A sight that reminded Aidan that the condition was largely his responsibility as well.

After finishing half of the mineral water in the glass, Giana looked much better. "I didn't think you were the only one in this room, waiting for me," Giana said.

"Both of your parents are taking care of something important," Aidan explained curtly.

"You mean taking care of the mess I made?" Giana corrected the man's words with a scornful tone of voice.

What else would her father do if it wasn't to save the family's good name. He probably wouldn't even care about Giana's current state.

As long as his daughter was still breathing and didn't cause a more serious mess, then Mr. Dawson would deal with her later.

Very typical of her father, and Giana was very familiar with his nature. Very easy to read.

"You could say that," Aidan confirmed in a low voice, placing the glass back on the nearest table. "So, there's only me looking after you here."

This time Giana let out a low, mocking laugh. "I don't even mind being left alone in this room. I didn't even expect your presence."

The condescending tone that Giana used to criticize himself really tested Aidan's meager patience, but in this situation, the man looked tired of their bickering that always started this way.

"Where's Dillon? You don't have to accompany me, let him do it." Giana turned her gaze away from Aidan again.
