Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Rachel was terrified now. She was unsure now what to do. Jared had threatened her in broad daylight with her boyfriend's life. She decided to inform Noah of Jared's threat. But she had not carried her phone with her when she had gone out. So, she first went to her ward to get her phone.

Immediately after she reached her ward, she called Noah. However, he did not pick it up. She tried again to get the same result. She thought for a few seconds and gave Joshua a call. He too did not pick up her phone.

"Where is everyone? Why is nobody picking my call?" She yelled.

After trying both their phones for some time, she remembered Ian was in the hospital. She could tell him about Jared. She came out of her ward. However, she did not know in which ward Ian was resting.

She looked around and saw a ward boy heading in her direction.

"Excuse me." She stopped.

"How can I help you Miss?" He asked her.

"Do you know in which ward Dr. Davis is resting?"

"Sure Miss. He is in Ward No. 2E. It's on the second floor."

"Thank you."

Without another word, she rushed to the said ward. Fortunately for her, Ian was awake. She stood outside the ward panting and gasping for breath. She bent her head and took deep breaths.

Ian saw a frantic Rachel and tried to get up. But he couldn't, his body was still weak and it hurt whenever he moved.

"Rachel, what happened to you? Why are you in a disheveled state?"

Rachel went in. She was still sweating and gasping lightly.

"Have some water?" Ian pointed at the jug of water.

Rachel poured herself a cup of water and gulped it in one go.

"Calm down. Sit down." Ian told her gently.

It took her a few minutes to calm herself. Ian did not speak to her the entire time until she had relaxed a bit.

"Now tell me what happened."

"Do you remember Jared?"

"Yes, he had come to visit you once right?"

"Yes." Rachel looked at him and did not know how to tell him.

"Tell me what happened." Ian held her hand and pressed it gently.

"He came to meet me again."

"What?" Ian's eyes widened. He was slowly getting furious.

"Yes."

"What did he tell you?"

"He wants me."

"What?" Ian shouted. The door to the ward was closed, so he did not have to worry about anybody listening to their talk.

"He wants me and also knows about my relationship with Daniel."

"Did he threaten you with Daniel's life?"

Rachel nodded.

"Bastard." Ian seethed.

Rachel looked at him astounded. It was very rare for him to curse. As a matter of fact, she had never heard him curse before.

"This issue is very serious. We need to inform Noah and Joshua."

"I tried calling them, but nobody picked up."

"Maybe they are busy."

"Maybe."

"I'll leave them a message, so they will know once they see it."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Ian immediately sent the other two a message: Call me once you see the message. It's urgent.

"I have sent the message. Don't worry we will take care of it."

Rachel smiled at him faintly. Though he had assured her, she could not stop worrying about Daniel.

"Have you spoken to Daniel?" Ian asked after some time.

"No. He has a court hearing today. So, he will not pick up the call."

"Hmm. At least he is safe for now. Nobody can hurt him in the court premises as there will be a lot of policemen."

Hearing Ian's words, Rachel heaved a sigh of relief. However, to be on a safer side, she sent him a message to be safe and to call her once his case ended.

"May I stay here for some time?" Rachel asked.

"Sure. Are you hungry?" Ian complied without hesitation.

"A little."

"Me too. I'll ask the nurse to get us something."

Ian pressed the button on his right. After a few minutes, a nurse entered the ward.

"Yes, Dr. Davis."

"Can you get us two bento boxes?"

"Sure."

The nurse left them alone to get them food.

"What have you thought about your family? Are you going to tell them about yourself?" Rachel queried once she was completely calm.

"I am not sure yet. Mr. Litner is still unconscious, though I can tell about me to his assistant.."

"Hmm."

"I am still unable to believe that I found my family after so long. It feels very weird."

Rachel rubbed her palm on his arms.

"We are here for you."

"Thanks. I want to tell them, but I am not sure how."

"You can wait until Mr. Litner gains consciousness. You have time till then."

"Not exactly. I don't know when he will wake up and in six days, I'll be going to the war zone to provide medical assistance to the injured."

"What?" Now it was her time to get stupefied.

"Yes. Even Aria is coming with me."

"What?" She asked again, raising her eyebrows. She knew about the ongoing war between her country and the neighboring country. But, she did not know that Ian and Aria would be going to the borders in a few days. Nobody had told her about it.

"Yes." Ian stared at her weirdly seeing her dumbstruck expression.

"Did my brother give her permission?"

"My answer would be yes and even if he doesn't allow, Aria will definitely go. I know her, nobody can stop her from doing what she wants."

"Oh."

"Moreover, Noah has no right to control her life, even if he is her boyfriend."

"Well said." Rachel agreed. It was true that Noah had no right to control anybody's life and he was not that controlling either. Sometimes he would be a little overprotective. But that was his nature and it was justified. She too hated people who tried to control her.

"How can you go in this state?" Rachel asked when she realized that Ian was still weak.

"Rachel, I am fine. I still have six days to recuperate."

"Will you get well before then?"

"Definitely. Look at me how fit I am." Ian held his biceps for her to see.

Rachel laughed. At that moment, the nurse returned with two bento boxes.

"Thank you. You can go." Ian said to the nurse and she obliged.

Ian handed a box to Rachel. "Now have some food. Everything will be fine. Trust me."

"Thanks." Rachel opened the box and started eating. She had calmed herself completely.

Meanwhile Ian was lost in thoughts. Though he had assured her Daniel's well being, he couldn't stop worrying himself. He was having an ominous feeling.

Rachel sensed that Ian had not touched his food yet. She found him deep in thoughts.

"Ian."

"Ian."

"Yeah."

"What happened? Where were you lost?"

"Nothing nothing. Let's eat."

Ian started to eat without telling her anything. He did not want her to start panicking again.
