Unrivalled Espousal

In the midst of a frigid December night, Ace Taylor, a renowned businessman, a celebrated pharmaceutical magnate, and the prominent textile tycoon of the United States, hurriedly entered Breach Candy Hospital with his heart pounding with concern. The intensity of his worry since receiving the devastating news about his wife had his heart nearly bursting from his chest. As he rushed to the reception area, beads of sweat formed on his forehead despite the biting cold. With a mix of urgency and disorientation, he slapped the desk anxiously, struggling to find the right words to catch the attention of the middle-aged woman. She lifted her gaze, startled by the familiar face of a celebrity, seen on screens and glossy magazines, standing before her. "Sir, your wife...her name is Scarlet Taylor," Ace managed to say, his voice barely above a whisper. The receptionist, taken aback, quickly replied, "Ah, yes, Mrs. Taylor. Burns case, room 13, straight ahead on the left. Dr. Shahnaaz Hussain is attending to her. You may go talk to her now." With no time to spare, Ace dashed towards Scarlet's room, leaving the receptionist's words unfinished. As he reached her bedside, his eyes filled with unshed tears, he softly called out her name, "Scarlet?" She slowly opened her eyes, looking at him with a pained expression, her voice barely audible, "Who are you?"
