Wing Of Change
Chapter 94

Frank continued to pull relentlessly at his restraint over and over again while trying to break free and reach for Aria who had passed out cold on the bed at this point.

She hasn’t lifted a finger since Henry had abruptly left her on the bed and hurried out the door without a word.

Frank knew something has gone wrong and was dying to get to her and began dragging the chair he has been tied to across the floor in a bit to get to her. Even though he kept calling at her, he wasn’t sure if she could even hear him which only fueled his need to break free.

He was half way across to her when Henry returned and rushed over to her side on the bed and scooped her into his arms for a moment before placing her back gently against the bed.

“What’s happening to her” Frank had hissed angrily at him but Henry gave no reply as his only focus was on Aria and getting her to respond somehow.

He cursed under his breath a few times after he felt for her pulse and realized her condition was spinning out of control real fast.

He quickly reached over and picked up the bag he has dropped on the floor before dispatching the items in it. It was a pack of syringes and some medications and a list of other items he would be needing.

After picking up the syringe and filling it up with medication, he felt around her arms for injectable vein before piercing her on her left arm with kneaded brows and deep in concentration.

He only jerk slightly at Frank’s words as he turned his head at his direction only for a second before returning his focus on Aria who was still unresponsive even after getting the medication she needed.

“What did you give her_you bastard” Frank had yelled_feeling more restless and agitated than before.

Henry who seemed to know what he was doing had continued to watch over her while glancing at his watch at every interval with a deep sigh. A slight frown was grazing his forehead at this point._An obvious sign that he was worried about her progress as he continued to bend over her on the bed.

Aria stirred after some minutes with a g***n and Henry quickly pushed away from her before pushing off from the bed completely to discharge the used items still lying around at the foot of the bed.

“Look at me Aria” he urge her as he forced a smile across his lips in a wry way. Probably satisfied at the response he was finally getting as her eyes were now focused on him.

Her skin was covered in beads of shimmering sweat._causing her to burn feverishly with high fever. Henry only realized it when he reached for her and cursed under his breath when he felt her skin burn under his palm.

Adjusting her against the pillow so her back could be resting on it, he rushed over to the bathroom and returned with a bucket of water before soaking a towel in it and placing across her forehead.

That should reduce her fever a bit.

“You will be alright” he murmured more to himself than anyone else because she could barely lie still against the bed without trying to roll off the edge unconsciously.

Her contractions were getting stronger and more frequent than before. She was starting to feel the urge to push at every interval and it won’t be long before her child is born.

Henry continued to rub circle at her back soothingly as another round of contraction rip through her hard, causing Aria’s grip to tighten against the soft fabric of the bed sheet in utter pain.

Frank felt adrenaline pumped through his veins at his wife’s distress and continued to pull tirelessly at his restraint.

He felt the rope lessen a bit and felt hopeful. Just a little bit more and he would be free.

Frank could feel his jaw clenching in anger as he watch Henry prepare Aria for labour while she kept grinding her teeth in pain each time the cramp hit her in waves.

Aria was too weak to fight him off. Instead she grabbed onto his shirt hard when he pulled her forward so she could lean against him for support while she bite at her lower lips in muffled screams and tears.

This was harder than anything she has ever endured before. Her muscle felt tense and at the same time on fire. Her bones were as weak as that of a newly born yet the urge to scream on top of her lungs every time she felt that familiar pain rip through her was burning like wild fire.

Aria was practically drenched in her own sweat and the water from the towel at this point. She wasn’t sure if she has any more strength left as every bit of it was zapping out of her quicker than the air she was breathing.

Aria continued to push each time she felt the urge to do so without been told any longer. Her fist was clenched tightly with her teeth biting down against her lower lips as she gave it her all.

She heard a familiar voice swearing by the corner and turned towards the direction almost immediately.

Aria had almost forgotten that her husband was still kept as hostage in the same room as her until she heard his voice again.

If only she could hold his hands even for a second then she would have gotten the strength she needed to carry on. She needed Frank now more than ever. He was so close yet so far away and for that reason alone, she couldn’t help but cry quietly in frustration.

Aria felt like her bones were being snapped into two at some point until she heard the door cracked open all of a sudden with two men she doesn’t recognized busting through with guns pointed at none other than Henry who stood beside her on the bed with wide eyes.

“What took you so damn long” she heard Frank voice yelling at someone who gave a short reply and rushed to aid him out of his restraint.

“I had to call for back up man” she heard Kelvin gave a quick reply

Henry was arrested and dragged away from her side almost Immediately but not after getting punched in the face by Frank.

“That’s for kidnapping my wife and threatening to take my child when it’s born! You sick f**k!”

“That’s enough now Mr Okoji. We will take it from here” Inspector Sule had cautioned Frank before giving the order for Henry to be taken out the door.

Aria felt a sense of relief wash over her as she let herself be pulled into two strong arms, wrapping around her protectively and she knew she was safe now and she could finally sleep.

“Stay with me darling” She heard Frank’s voice calling at her before she was whisked away and carried out the door.
