“Owen” Glory called.
“Yes” he responded, turning around.
“Do you have Aurora’s personal details, I forgot to get her contact info from Collins” Glory said calmly.
“Yeah, sure. But I don’t have her call contact. I will check it on the Company Staff File” Owen said.
“Do you have it with you at home” Glory asked.
“Yes, I have it. I will send it to you when I see hers. — Not hers though but her family’s contact line” Glory cut him as she further more in details. “I want them to know her whereabout”

“I’m just worried, he should be awake already” She mumbled not taking off her eyes her unconscious brother.
“I will go and check on Piper in case she’s awake.” Owen suggested and she nodded.
She moved back her gaze back at Collins…
On the other hand Piper was awake already not without having a long and strong headache. She gasped loudly after remembering how the whole building got burnt.
“Collins” She shuttered, looking around the room, trying to get a glimpse of his shadow in case he might be in the same room with her.
“I need to get Collins”she mumbled to herself as she made the attempt of getting down from the bed… A loud thud could be heard vividly and Owen ran inside because he was about to come in but his phone rang out of his pocket, he was about to pick up his phone unfortunately the loud thud from the room made in ran inside.
“Piper” Owen screamed, running to rush her up on her feet.
“Collins” were the only word she kept murmuring.
“He’s fine” Owen replied, sitting her on the bed.
“Can I see him ?” She asked almost close to tears.
“Yes, you can.” he replied with a soft smile.
With a soft groan, she tried to stand up on her feet but fell wobbly back to the bed.
“I will get a wheelchair, do that I can wheel you down to his private ward.” He replied and left shortly.
The door open shortly and Glory stood up on her feet immediately she saw Piper on the wheelchair.
“What happened to your feet?” She asked with concern.
“She’s fine, just need to rest her body that’s why” Owen replied.
