Chapter 77 Jaxon was in the middle of an important business meeting when a mind link zapped through his head. It was so sharp, it gave him a headache. Maybe it was because he had not received a mind link for days, that this one had a toll on him. Jax, I don’t feel good” Hearing Rowena’s voice, he panicked and was surprised that Rowena was not feeling well as a result of using her powers when it was that time of the month but Rowena was not the kind of woman who sort for unnecessary attention. She was always mature and serious minded, which made Jaxon nervous on the negotiation table. This business meeting was very important and he knew that if he did not finish it today, he would no longer be able to since the president was travelling for a week. However, his attention was already gone and so was his interest for the fact that Rowena had mind link to inform him that she was not well. “Gentlemen, if you can excuse me, I have to attend to an emergency,” Jaxon was already packing the documents in front of him back into the file he kept them in whiles he spoke. The four high profile people at the table were confused. This deal was worth millions and Jaxon was leaving in the middle of it, which meant he would lose money as a result of penalty payments. The president chairing the meeting thought to remind him in case he has forgotten. “Mr. Clinton, I’m leaving in the next two hours and will return next week. You already said you were leaving in three days.” Jaxon had already made up his mind. Rowena was more important to him than the money he was going to lose and he could always make more. “Then I guess we can’t have this deal.” Jaxon was already on his feet whiles he spoke. He was trying to mind link Rowena to find out about the severity of the problem, thinking that she needed sensual empowerment but it was not connectingNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
anymore. Jaxon reached the door and had already begun to remove his suit when the president chairing the meeting asked him again, “Mr. Clinton, are you sure that whatever you are going to attend to is worth losing this meeting for?” Jaxon did not know how anyone would explain and wanted to ignore him but for posterity’s sake, he said. “What I am going to do, is worth my life.” Jaxon already rushed out of the room before the elderly man spoke another word. Entering the hired car, he drove to the hospital and whiles on the way, he tried to mind link her over and over again but it wouldn’t connect. Then he tried her phone but no one was answering it.
Jaxon reached the hospital and rushed to the ward where he left Rowena earlier and kept asking the nurses and doctors. “Doctor Row, where is she?” The doctors and nurses who heard him merely exchanged glances. No one could know exactly where another person was, unless the person was specifically assigned to an emergency or was handling a surgery. So far, the emergency cases had reduced so Rowena could not anywhere. “I don’t know, she should be in one of the wards,” one of the doctors said helplessly. Jaxon did not know where to start from. It was not in his nature to lie but he did, just so they could understand how urgent it was. He knew what they were thinking slie was in one of the wards when possibly, she could have been kidnaped or something. which was Jaxon’s greatest fear since Canada was very vast and he would not know where to begin his search. He also felt that the police might not be of great help since there was no proof as to what had happened to Rowena. They would only tell him to report back after 48 hours, which Jaxon would not allow. “I’ve searched everywhere without a sign of her. Can you make an anouncement?” He asked pleadingly, as if he had lost his heart. Roweng Could be in danger and the more he thought about it,
the greater his fears. “Announcements are for emergencies?” The doctor asked seriously. To him, Rowena might just be with one of the patience like always Rowena loved to help for as long as she was around, even if she was not on duty so it was not big deal. However, with the seriousness attached to Jaxon’s words, he did not dare to refuse. “Well trust me, you will not have her for any of your patients if this announcement is not made.” “Okay. Go to the emergency ward. I will make the announcement as if it was a patient in need the doctor said and Jaxon nodded his had. “Thank you,” he said and rushed to the emergency ward when the announcement was heard over the hospital public address system. “Doctor Row, you are needed at the emergency ward. Doctor Row, you are needed at the emergency ward” Jaxon stood at the entrance of the emergency ward and for the fourth time the announcement was made, there was no sign of Rowena so he began to ask around like crazy. 16:05 Chapter 77 “Anyone seen Doctor Row?” Jaxon was asking any Tont, D ick, or Harry, not caring whether the person was a patient, doctor, nurse or even someone visiting a patient. All he wanted was a hint of where Rowena had gone to “No. She has a patient to attend to and the patient has been waiting for an hour now,” a nurse walked by and said. Jaxon felt like his world was crashing on him. Rowena would never live a patient unattended, but rather die beside the patient. Now she was most certain that something had happened to her. The hospital stall who notice her absence had also already. began searching for her but to no avail. “An hour?” Jaxon felt his throat dry, whiles he tried to think about the consequence involved in not seeing Rowena. “Yes” the nurse nervously agreed since she was supposed to assist Rowena and was eager to work
with the legendary woman for the first time in her life, except that she did not appear. Jaxon stood in the middle of the hospital and yelled, “Rowena!” There was no sign of her but he was becoming a nuisance in his way of searching for his wife, which attached the security team, as they began to approached him. “Sir, you are disturbing recovering patients and we are going to have to ask you to leave,” one of the security men said politely whiles Jaxon responded anxiously. “Please help me search for Doctor Row.” “Doctor Row? One of the securities asked since she was one of the most popular doctors “Yes, Doctor Row. She is not answering her phone and her son need her, Jaxon added to add to, the urgency of the matter. “Doctor Row has a son?” “Yes, and I’m her husband. I dropped her here and was supposed to come and take her out for lunch but I can’t find her anywhere.” mut it that Tay Jaxon could not talk to them about mind link and had to put “We shall see what we can do,” the security man said and began walking to their office. Jaxon followed them and they began to check the surveillance but since no one knew her exact location, it was just taking too much time without yielding any fruit “This is my number. Call me when you find anything” he said to the security men before going back to search the wards. Jaxon saw another doctor and said, “Tin looking for Doctor Row, have you seen her?” the was confused but went into a thoughtful mode. “The last time I saw her, she was talking to a woman at the corridor and they walked out together. I heard the woman thanking her and said that she brought her coffee but I didn’t hear anymore after they left.” Jaxon instantly felt uncomfortable at the mention of coffee. Rowena loved coffee but they forgot they
take some along so could she have taken the coffee from the said woman? “Can you describe the woman?” Jaxon asked seriously. “Yes. She had curly black hair, hazel eyes.. the doctor did not finish when the doctor completed the description for him, “Short?” He asked and the doctor nodded his head affirmatively, “Yes, you know her?” He agreed and asked. Jaxon was not sure and said, “Maybe. Thank you.” As the doctor walked away. Jaxon had a feeling that Rowena was not in the hospital building. The description match that of Beverly, for which reason he felt scared. Jaxon was full of regrets when he began running to the car park, sensing that it was not what he thought. He should have told Rowena when he met Beverly again but did not see it necessary. He did not even know Beverly’s house and since mind link was not going through, it only meant that Rowena was unconscious. Jaxon raked his mind, as he tried to recall Beverly’s mobile number. As he recalled and dialed it on his phone, a phone close by at the car park from the next three to four cars began to ring and Beverly came out. She had a beautiful smile on her face while she said, “I’ve been waiting for you and I did not know where to find you.” Jaxon was so raged, he demanded coldly, anger lacing his tone, “Where is my wife?”
