The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 100

Sophie’s pov

“Oh my baby bug,” I rushed over to Ashton who was playing with building blocks on the mat.

As Mrs. Georgia had mentioned, Miss. Greene was right beside Ashton, helping him build what I

suppose was a castle….

When he heard my voice his beautiful blue eyes shot up and he beamed. His eyes were glossy and his

nose was red. His cheeks were also flushed.

My heart throbbed. He was sick.

“Moma,” He said and struggled to get to his feet.

“Mommy is here baby,” I whispered as I scooted down and picked him up in my arms.

I hug his smaller body to mine, kissing his cheek and whispering soothing words to reassure him that

he was going to be fine.

I noted how his body temperature was a bit off.

Aiden comes to stand beside us and rubs Ashton’s back while looking down at him in clear concern.

“Do you know what could have made him sick?” He asked one of the women

whose eyes were on the three of us.

They shook their heads while one answered. “He seemed okay earlier but suddenly started sneezing

and his nose got runny.

Might be a small bug or a cold.”

Ashton’s head dropped on my shoulder and I lift the back of my hand to his forehead. He’s burning up.

“He has a fever Aiden,” I said rapidly, scared that this was serious.

Aiden’s eyes watch his son with deep worry and said. “We’ll take him to the doctor baby, don’t worry

okay?” He said, lifting his eyes to mine in reassurance.

I nodded, my brain too fumbled to realize what he called me at the moment.

Miss. Greene brought over Aiden’s little bag and Aiden and I walked out of the building with Ashton in

my arms in a few.

When we got inside the Suv, I had Ashton tucked in my arms, holding him close as I run my fingers

through his hair gently.

My eyes misted. “I don’t understand how this could’ve happened,” I said shakily, my voice filled with

emotion.

I hated when Ashton got sick. Which was rarely.

“He seemed fine this morning,” My voice cracked.

I’m startled slightly when Aiden’s hand lands on mine that was wrapped around Ashton’s middle. He

squeezes my hand.

“He’ll be okay Sophie. It’s nothing to fret about.” He said calmly though when I looked over at him he

was just as worried as me. Perhaps even more.

I nod and kissed the top of Ashton’s head. He was burning up

even more now.

“He’s burning up,” I whispered with a pitch of fear in my tone.

Aiden’s hand left mine to rest on his son’s head and his face

twisted with more concern.

“Mitch can you step on the gas?” He said to Mitch urgently.

When we got to the hospital, Aiden insisted that he’d hold Ashton since his legs were longer than mine

and would get inside the building before I could.

But I was certain he only wanted to hold his son in his arms to help ease his worries.

We both rushed to the ER. Aiden being the Ceo that he was used his superiority and demanded that

they check Ash right

away.

The woman behind the front desk looked faint when she took note of Aiden’s unflickering impatient

voice.

“Aiden..” I whispered not sure if being rude and demanding would make them give Ashton the best

care.

was still rude to cut through them.

“Sir please have a seat and I’ll see if the doctor has clocked in

yet-

“What the fuck are you talking about? Get me a fucking

doctor for my son.” He hissed, holding Ashton’s much smaller body than his to him protectively.

I wince at his curse words but don’t scold him.

The woman gulps, looking like she was at any moment about to faint by how the blood drained from

her face.

I reached out and grabbed Aiden’s arm. “Aiden it’s fine we can wait for a few,” I said and nodded at the

woman who

looked relieved that I intervened.

Aiden did not look pleased with my words but after a few nods and grits out. “Fine.”

We both walked to the waiting area and Aiden takes a seat while making sure that Ashton was curled

comfortably in his

arm.

I sat beside him and reach over to brush the back of my hand on Ashton’s forehead.

“He’s less hot than he was a few minutes ago. The fever must be calming down.” I whispered with a bit

of relief.

“You should’ve let me get the doctor to check up on him as soon as possible,” Aiden grumbles while

hugging Ash to him.

I sighed heavily knowing he was upset that I intervened. “Aiden. You can’t go around demanding that

the woman get the doctor right away. Especially if that said doctor has yet to clock in. And don’t forget

that there are still others waiting on the doctor. It wouldn’t be right-

“I don’t care. My son is my number one priority and seeing him get better soon was all I could think

about. I don’t care

about anyone else.” He grumbles, kissing Ashton’s head.

I smiled faintly knowing what he meant. He wanted to see his son get better as soon as possible and

one couldn’t get mad at him for that. Looking down at Ash I noticed that his eyes were slowly closing.

He must be tired.

Suddenly hush voices grew and I had nearly forgotten that we were in the waiting room and that there

were others beside

I looked around, noticing how all eyes were on us.

One bold and brave woman who seemed to be a few years younger than me, fishes for Aiden’s

attention. “Are you Aiden Xavier? The CEO of Harrington.co?”

Aiden looked over at her a bit irritated but nodded

nonetheless.

The girl picks up her phone off her lap and looked between us when she put her phone on. She clicks

on something and suddenly the words Aiden recited earlier to me at the jewelry store blasted through

her phone.

“I knew you two looked familiar! That was such a beautiful proposal,” She smiled and turned the phone

screen to face us. And sure enough, it was a video of Aiden and me in the store. Aiden’s on his knees,

holding out the ring to me.

From the angle the video is taken, it was definitely from one of the workers working there.

“Can I take a picture with you two? You two are going viral on

social media.” She chirped.

“Don’t be ridiculous Queeny, can’t you see this is a bad time?!” An older woman beside her scold her.

“But-

She started only to get cut off by a sweet feminine voice calling out Ashton’s name.

The doctor.

Aiden and I stood up. Aiden turns around with Ash in his arms and was about to walk but suddenly he

froze.

I looked at the doctor whose heels clacked on the tiles, her head down as she jots something down.

When her head lifted, her eyes widen slightly in surprise. “Aiden Xavier?” She asked, her red lips

splitting into a bright smile.
