CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 65 Married life

DARBY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.

Leo felt clueless at the state Darby was in as he kept tapping at her cheek to wake her up. Isabella had rushed out at the noise from the cup and Leo’s noise. He had called 911 but they said they would get there in twenty minutes. Anything can go wrong in twenty minutes.

“Oh, my goodness. What happened to her?” Isabella asked in a shaky voice as she knelt next to her.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hold her still please. My family hospital is two blocks away. I just need to call a doctor real quick. Waiting on 911 will risk her health. She looks pale at each passing second.” He rambled to non listening Isabella.

Dialing the contact of Doctor Anthony hurriedly, he rolled out the address off his tongue as he narrated the condition of the patient to the doctor. He offered to come around instead as the other hands at the hospital was quite full. From the doctor’s explanation a fatal accident had occurred on the road and it would take another ambulance a lot of time to get to them. It dawned on him why 911 had asked for such long time.

The day was beginning to seem like it was jinxed considering the different situations popping up out of nowhere. Doctor Anthony was at the door step in few minutes. Without any further delay he got down to do a thorough check up on Darby.

“Will she need to be admitted?” Leo asked impatiently. “What’s wrong with her?”

The doctor didn’t respond until he was done checking her vitals. “Can you open up the doors please I need fresh air.” He said, as he laid Darby down, knelt by her and raised her legs, with that he waited for the air to get to her and awaken her.

“She is awake.” Isabella bellowed when Darby eyes fluttered.

“Get me a bottle of water right now.” The doctor ordered.

Leo got the water and handed it to Darby, she drank the content hungrily while breathing slowly. Isabella sat next to her rubbing her back.

“What’s wrong with her?” Leo inquired for the umpteenth time.

Doctor Anthony shrugged. “She is dehydrated. Very at that, which is why she passed out.”

He glanced back at her. “She works too hard. What do we need to do now?”

“She would need to check back at the hospital. For now it would be best if she stays away from caffeine drinks and indulge in drinking more water and Gatorade. She need foods and fruits with high water content too. That should help and I would advise she tons down the level of work she might be doing. Most people get so engrossed with work that they forget to hydrate and keep their body in check.” He explained.

“When should she check in at the hospital?”

“Probably tomorrow or the next. She can come in anytime, but it would be best if she gets properly tested and further told what to do. I will take my leave now, Mr Robin.”

“Thank you so much, Dr Anthony for showing up. I really appreciate the help.”

The older man bowed lightly before taking his leave. He has been a friend to the Robin’s for a long while and has been retained as their family doctor for ages. Leo saw him off to the door before returning to Darby and Isabella.

“What happened?” Darby asked as she tried to sit up.

“Just keep still. You need proper rest and to eat well.” Leo checked his wristwatch. ” Isabella I would order some groceries on my way out it’s getting late already. Ensure to give her as much fruit as you can tonight and water. I will check back tomorrow.”

“There is no need to. I’m fine now.” Darby argued.

Shaking his head, Leo paid her no mind and returned his attention to Isabella. “Please, just ensure she is fine. I’m so sorry you have to handle them both on your own. But it would be inappropriate for me to stay here for too long. I promise to make it up to you.”

Isabella smiled. “You don’t have to worry, sir. Sinclair is fine as it is and I am sure Darby here only needs the required rest. I would do just as the doctor instructed. I heard him when he was talking.”

“You are an amazing person. Thank you. I will have the fruits loaded up in no time. I will just kiss Sinclair goodbye real quick and leave.” Leo said.

Tilting her head to the side weakly, Darby managed to mumbled a goodbye to Leo after he left Sinclair’s room. On his way down the elevator, Leo searched for the closest grocery store and ordered for the high water fruits he had googled and a pack of Gatorade to be sent up to Darby’s Penthouse. After ensuring that part has been taken care of, he rubbed at his tired neck. It has been a long day and it’s about to get longer the moment he steps into the house.

Knowing Chloe well she wouldn’t let him pass up so easily when she obviously feels offended. Inhaling sharply, he drove towards home. Chloe wasn’t in the living room when he arrived. It made his mind feel a bit at rest. Heading upstairs, Leo carefully opened the door to avoid waking her up but he didn’t need to do too much because the light came on shining at his face brightly. He groaned inwardly as he shielded his eyes from the extremeness of the light.

“Hi.” He muttered after a long minute of them remaining quiet.

Chloe’s eyes practically shot Leo lasers, if she wasn’t so in love with him she would not think twice about dumping his ass.

“Why did you hang up on me?” She questioned.

Leo exhaled tiredly making his way to the closet. “I have had quite a long day, Chloe. Please don’t make this harder than it already is. I’m exhausted.”

She sprung up from the bed like someone who was pricked by a sharp object. “How can you not have an explanation after you left your wife stood up?”

The consistent mention of wife was beginning to freak Leo out, he didn’t sign up for a consistent reminder memo telling him just how married he is. He waved a dismissive hand and yawned.

“Please, Chloe. I just want to sleep. Please.”

“You won’t be doing that unless you explain to me why it took you so long to return home!” She raised her voice flipping her hair.

Moving closer to her, he kissed her on the lips. “Please, baby. Let’s talk about this tomorrow.”

“Never!” She insisted stomping her foot like a child. “If you won’t feel sorry for what you did and also give me a full explanation of all that play out today, you won’t be sleeping here.” Chloe insisted.

“Why can’t I sleep here?”

“Until you assure me that we are traveling tomorrow. Have Kingston book a space for us.”

“I can’t do that, tomorrow is Sunday and this coming week is really important at work so I can’t be absent. Moreover Da-” He shook his head at the close slip of tongue. “You know what, we can always go some other time. There is always time for these things.”

“How can you be so insensitive to my feelings?”

“You know you are the one being inconsiderate right now. I have been away because of my sick son and you wouldn’t even let me rest.”

“Leo.” Chloe whined with tears lacing her eyes.

Letting out an exasperated breath, Leo threw his hands out. “Dragging this discussion further will only cause more misunderstanding. So, I will excuse myself.” He said heading out.

“Where are you going to?”

“The guest room!” He yelled slamming the door shut. This married life is definitely taking a huge toll on him.
