Max picked up the call. "You missed me, Princess." He asked her very lovingly. There was a pleasant expression on his face. But in the next moment, his pleasant expression changed.

"What happened to Emily?" He said as he got up from his chair. Before he could hear anything from Raina, Noah snatched the mobile from him and held it close to his ear. "Emily has been in the bathroom for a long time but still hasn't come out." Upon hearing this, Noah threw mobile on Max and he flew away. He was also followed by Max and Alex.

....

Meanwhile

Raina was saying "hello hello" on mobile. But she got no response. She didn't even know if Max had heard what she had told about Emily.

She went to Avery. There was a fear in their eyes that something would happen to Emily.

"What did he say?" Avery asked in a low voice. She was already sad about what happened between Alex and her and now all this. Before Raina could answer her question, a person appeared in the room. Their eyes widened at the sight of that person.

He was the same person who had come to their college as the chief guest. He was the same person that Emily was calling him Noah and he was telling his name as Nichols. Before they could say anything, he approached towards bathroom. Seeing him coming, they both moved away from the bathroom door.

He broke down the door in one move and went inside the bathroom. Raina and Avery also follow him.

"Ahhh....." Seeing Emily's lifeless body in the bathtub, they both screamed. Emily had both her wrists cut and blood was constantly flowing from them. She had one hand in the bathtub which made all the water in that bathtub bloody red. And her other hand was hanging out of the tub. Blood was constantly flowing from that hand and spreading on the floor. Her eyes were closed just like she was sleeping but her face was completely pale.

That blood smell hit Avery's nose and she started feeling uneasy.

By the time Raina and Avery were both screaming, Alex and Max were already in the room, but they thought it didn't appropriate to go inside the bathroom. Noah immediately scooped Emily out of the bathtub and took her into the room. Her clothes were wet. Raina immediately followed them but Avery was still in the bathroom.

Noah said to Alex as he laid Emily on the bed. "Go inside. Your wife is still in the bathroom." As soon as Alex heard Noah, he went to the bathroom. Avery was stood like a statue on her spot. Her gaze was still glued on that bloody bathtub. She started having trouble breathing. Her chest began to move up and down. Her body was already trembling.

Her asthma was triggered. And before she fell on the floor, two strong hands grabbed her on the place and put the inhaler in her mouth. Alex quickly pulled her out of the bathroom and sat her on the bed. Noah had already wrapped Emily's body in a blanket until then and had roughly bandages her both wrists. Raina had helped him in all that work.

Max had already called the hospital and made every arrangement for Emily's treatment. Noah picked her up in his arms and walked towards the door. Before leaving the room, he looked at Alex who was standing next to Avery and his hand was on her shoulder. "I think you should take Avery home." Alex nodded as yes.

Noah followed Max with Emily in his arms. Raina also followed them. Emily had suffered a lot of blood loss, so delaying her treatment would have been fatal for her.

Now only Avery and Alex were both in the room. Avery was back to her normal state. But still, she was looking at the floor. Alex's words were running through her head. She didn't want to look at him and Alex didn't understand what to say to her. This time he was very much guilty about his behaviour. He didn't know how to react but he knew that she needed him the most.

He bent down on his knees and put his hand on her hands. "We have to go home, Ave." He looked at her but she stole her gaze and looked somewhere else.

"I... I....wa..want.. to go t...to the ho....hospital." Her words cracked.

" But you ..."

"Ple...Please." She cut Alex sentence before he could finish.

He closed his eyes and sighed. "Ok." He said and stood up.

....

Outside the operation ward.

Everyone was waiting for Emily's operation to end. But the only question on everyone's mind was why she did it. What was it that caused her to decide to commit suicide? Noah didn't even think that Emily had planned such a big surprise for him. He was blaming himself somewhere for what she did today. He was just walking that corridor and waiting for her operation to end.

Emily's operation was running but she had lost a lot of blood. The department of the hospital where her operation was performing had deficient of her blood type. And that's why Max went to the other department of the hospital.

Alex's hand was in his trouser pocket and he was leaning against the wall. His eyes were on his wife who was standing in the corner. And she was trying very hard to control her emotions. She knew that Alex was looking at her that's why she was controlling her tears very hard. She didn't have the courage to get out of that corner. Because she was afraid that if she got out of that corner, her asthma would be triggered again.

Raina was sitting on the bench and thinking about Emily's changed behaviour after she came back from the tournament.

There was another thought in her head about how Max and Alex both knew Noah. What is the relationship between them? Noah approached her and sat on his knees in front of her.

"Miss Raina." He took her name very respectfully. "Can you please tell me what was it that made Emily take this step?" Raina rolled her tearful eyes and looked at him. "I don't know why but by the time she came back from the tournament her behaviour had changed completely."

"What do you mean?" Noah narrowed his eyes.

Raina started telling him. "When she returned, she didn't talk to me. Firstly I thought she was not talking to me because she's sick or tired. But she did not talk to me the next day. And that's how she stopped talking to me. She hadn't even been to college since she came back. Her eyes were swollen when she woke up every day. I tried to ask her several times but she told me nothing. I told her yesterday that I would tell Max about her behaviour She stopped me when.

And she told me that her team did not win the tournament so she is in tension. She assured me that she would start college and her practice just like before. But today she..." And with that, Raina started crying. "It's my fault. If I had told Max about this in time, it wouldn't have happened." She sobbed very hard. See in her like that Noah felt bad and he put his hand on her head.

"It's Okay. Please don't cry. There is not your fault." Something has definitely happened with Emily. The thought came to Noah's head and he turned his attention to Alex. "You promised me that you would protect her behind me. She can't take such a step unless anything happened. There is something bad has happened with her during the tournament."

Noah angrily grabbed Alex's collar. "Alex you break your promise." Alex held both of Noah's hands and try to break Noah's hold.

"Noah, are you crazy? I had sent people of my trusted man with her. Not only that, but I also sent a female bodyguard with her as a student. She befriended Emily after going there and she stayed with Emily for almost twenty-four hours. She was giving me updates on everything. Nothing bad that happened to her there." Alex was trying to convince Noah. But Noah was not in the mood to listen to him.

"You are her class teacher. She has not attended any lectures since her return. Didn't you know about that?"

"No! I didn't know about that."

"WHY?" Noah yelled.

"Because the day all the players came back, I had already left for India." Noah was even angrier on Alex now.

"Don't try to fool me, Alex." And with that Noah raised his hand, he was about to punch Alex on the face Avery shouted. "STOP"

They both looked at her. "Please stop. Don't forget that you two are in the hospital." She picked up her bag and ran from there. She couldn't bear it any more.
