Nathan spoke again after checking Roxy's pulse rate, "Ms. Stephen is weak. We need to go to the hospital."
Levi took the job, "I will handle here."
Then three rushed out and saw the cops who were shocked to see Roxy unconscious. Nathan didn't wait for them to talk and rushed to the car followed by two.
"President Cooper, President Morgan." The two guards who were with the cops for the investigation greeted them.
After a nod at the guards, Aria opened the passenger seat door for Nathan to lay Roxy inside. Alan took the shotgun once Aria sat next to Roxy. Nathan drove the car out without bothering about the bewildered cops.
Levi went to the cops, "Hello, I am Levi, assistant of President Cooper. Roxy Stephen is her sister. I will assist with the investigation as Ms.Stephen needs treatment."
Already the men behind them confirmed the identity of two presidents hence the cops didn't object, "Alright, let's get into work. First of all, how did you guys reach here?" They had taken the whole evening till the dawn to get hold of the location.
Levi didn't reveal the application Aria used, instead he mentioned it as GPS and explained everything that happened by the time they landed in country X. After taking Jasper and his people under control, they returned to the city.

Regal Hospital
Roxy was quickly moved to the hospital and kept under IV administrator. Then the doctors told them that she hadn't eaten properly from 24 hours minimum and lived on the water. Hence she fainted due to tiredness and stress. Aria breathed a sigh of relief after knowing she was fine but she kept pacing in front of the ICU where Rian wasn't awake yet.
Alan was tense too but he didn't show it out. If Rian's parietal lobes of the brain were affected, he could never differentiate between colors and control his body which would tremendously affect his career as an artist. Alan wanted to be a strong and powerful businessman since he was a child hence it was his goal. He didn't want Rian to be forced into another career due to the unforeseen accident.
After knowing there is no solution to treat for such damage to the brain, he really wished to slaughter Jasper Madison against the law. Probably Aria, Roxy, and Alan wouldn't care about the laws and rules if Rian couldn't continue his passion.
---
It was morning in Country X. Soon the patients and related people started moving around in the hospital. Skyline guards had completely blocked the half of the floor where Rian was present hence it was completely silent as a grave.

Aria who hadn't slept in the night wasn't getting sleep either thinking about every possibility while Alan tried to hold her in his embrace to coax her sleep but four were wide awake with a pin drop silence.
It was nine in the morning, Rian wasn't awake for fifteen hours. All were getting anxious when the nurse who was inside pushed open the door of the ICU. Aria immediately shot on her toes, "How is Rian? Did he wake up?..."
"Miss, please move aside, let doctors check on him first." The nurse requested as she pointed aside. Aria wanted to ask again, Alan pulled her to him to let the doctor enter the ICU.
"What happened to Rian? What's wrong?" Aria couldn't help from raising her voice to get the answer but the obtained response was the sound of the ICU door closing shut.
Alan's calm voice sounded but he wasn't sure he was assuring her or himself, "Honey, Rian will be alright. Nothing will happen to him."
Aria tried to peek in but the curtains were closed around Rian's bed hence she could only hum to Alan and wrap her arms around him. Her grim voice sounded resolute, "If Rian faces any problem, I will abduct Jasper Madison and feed him to the sharks without leaving any clues."
Alan was sure his wife was capable of doing what she said but that wasn't the point. Being Rian unaffected was important, how they will handle Jasper doesn't matter to the health of Rian.
Alan tried to divert her mind completely to what she said, "After chopping him?" Aria shook her head, "I don't like blood, we just toss him to the ocean. Clean and tidy."
Alan wanted to know if she was trying to make him laugh or she was really thinking out of the box, "Do I have to laugh for that? Or join in and plan it further?"
Aria saw his serious face and sighed. No, she was trying to convince herself nothing is going to happen to Rian. 'Ahhh...' she just screamed in her mind and shook her head. "Go and wake up Beauty. I want to whack him for being so careless and hiding things from us."
Before Alan's response, doctors came out and spoke with relaxed nerves, "President Morgan, Mr.Morgan is awake. We will take him for the scanning in a few minutes so meet him soon but please don't put pressure on him."
'Whoosh.' Aria didn't care to spare words and rushed inside. She even slightly pushed the nurse aside who was blocking the door.
The whole night Rian was sleeping on his stomach when she had seen through the peep-hole. Now he was sleeping on his back and turned to see her hurriedly entering inside.

His voice was groggy instead of tired or raspy, "Little Devil." He wasn't surprised as he had told Roxy to inform Alan.
He was expecting her to run over him and hug but Aria held his right hand and played his fingers, wrist, elbow. Then shifted to the left hand ignoring him laughing and repeated the same. Next, she went to face him and asked, "What is your hair color?"
Rian's lips twitched. 'What kind of question is that?' He lied, "Grey."
Aria sighed loudly and announced, "You are perfect."
Alan: "..." Alan had acknowledged the doctors and entered inside after asking about the Rian's conditions. He heard her ask the question and he gave an incorrect answer yet she was relaxed with that. The little Devil and Beauty's antics are far above his reach.
"I was so frightened." She pinched his arm and continued, "How dare you hide things from us?"
'Ouch' Rian rubbed his arm slapping her hand, "Doctor said I am fine so you better don't start crying. Call my wife."
Aria pointed her hand at him in disbelief. "You-" She tried to get back for it but didn't know what to say, "You-... I am never going to save your ass again. Hmph." She stomped her heels out grimly caring her fake anger while Levi and Nathan entered inside.
Alan walked to the bedside silently. Poured water to the glass ignoring Rian apologizing for frightening them. Alan held a glass of water in front of Rian, "Drink."
Rian wasn't sure what Alan was doing whereas Nathan and Levi guessed why Alan was asking him to drink water. "Bro, I already drank water. I don't..."
Alan's unemotional voice cut in sounding more like an order, "I said drink."
Rian grabbed the glass, took a sip, and left the glass on the side table rolling his eyes. He didn't notice the men silently sighing to themself realizing Rian's sensory inputs were working well. He precisely held the glass and there wasn't a misbalance of his hand holding the water glass. Even placing the glass down it was accurate unlike facing any struggle for it.
There was still another big challenge. That was to differentiate between the colors and their shades. For an artist like him, it wasn't only the standard colors but he should be aware of their hues.
Aria who woke up Roxy, brought her to meet Rian. Roxy rushed to Rian's side, "Rian..." She slid her hand behind his head seeing no gauge around his head, "Are you in pain? How are you feeling? Do you feel anything odd?..."
Her questions poured in continuously without listening to Rian who repeatedly asked her to calm down. Nathan and Levi voluntarily exited the room to bring something for their presidents to eat. They hadn't eaten anything from the time they got to know about Rian.
Yawning, Aria embraced Alan who was silently standing. He caressed her head as he asked, ignoring the other couple, "Shall we check into the hotel and rest for some time?"
Aria shook her head, "I want to check Rian's visual test." she closed her eyes and yawned again to wait for the couple.
Rian finally stopped weeping Roxy and hugged her, "Okay Okay, I will never save you again. You better keep me safe."
Roxy hummed promptly. She was ready to become a housewife if she had to drop her career but she wanted Rian to do whatever he likes. Rian stopped himself from knocking on her head.
He always thought men should protect women until he saw Aria and Eva. Having the same kind of fiancee, he chuckled thinking how different breed women they have around.
Roxy sniffled and saw him chuckling, "What's wrong?"
Rian shook his head and pointed at another couple for her. He yelled at them for not giving him the attention, "Here I am on the hospital bed, how dare you two romance in front of me? Brazen couple."
His loud voice woke up Aria who had actually dozed leaning on Alan in less than five minutes. Her groggy voice sounded, "You are the one who shooed me away for your wife."
Rian started his overacting creating distance between him and Roxy, "Ahh! Little devil, my head- My head is hurting."
Roxy and Alan: "..." They wanted to smack his head and leave the room.
Aria compiled his unsaid request and gave him a shoulder hug. She whispered gravely, "Beauty, I will make sure you two cry for worrying us. You just wait"
Rian chuckled hearing it. Of course, he knew she was kidding. He patted her back, "Only you have the right to make me cry. Remember."
Aria left him flexing her fingers and stated loud enough for others to hear, "Of course, that's my birthright."
Roxy wanted to ask what it was but the nurse returned to take him for a scan. All followed him and waited patiently.
A doctor exited the treatment room and reported in seriousness and worry, "Mr.Morgan is saying all the colors as black or white or blue."
