Chapter Forty Two

Many hours left. Sun was up, then set down. She didn't stir which was wrecking him. He didn't budge from her side. He was still holding her hand. More hours passed. Eyes boarded in her. Everything before arriving at this room specially her medicines, staffs were carefully checked and inspected. He was brushing his thumb on the back of her hand. He felt her fingers' movement in his hand. He impatiently waited for her to hold his hand again. He was taking care of preparation and administration of food and medicine for day and night. He didn't want to give his enemies another opportunity to hurt her.
His face was gloomy. He was feeling incomplete without her. He wasn't taking any calls, his phone was dead in his pocket. He wanted to take care of her, wanted her to talk to him.
He felt her fingers fastened around his fingers, " Rose?" He said her name sweetly. Her eyes were fluttering, " Doctor " He called out. When he saw the doctor coming, " She held my hand. Check her. " He commanded.
Minutes seemed like hours. He was getting impatient to know.
" Your wife is fine, sir. She's safe now. But we can't say when will she wake up? " Doctor said.
He glared at him, " Rose, get up. " He commanded.
Her lips slightly moved. " Get Up Rose. " He said her again and put his hand on her shoulder.
" Liam, I also want white roses. " She muttered.
" Get up, Rose. " He waited, " I'll buy you the whole parterre, babe. Just open your eyes. " He said smilingly in trust.

She was running gleefully. Liam was running after her to catch her. Surrounding was covered with all kinds of roses.
" Rose, " Liam caught her by arm, " For you. " He was broadly smiling, He brought red roses for her.
" Rose, get up. " She heard his bossy voice. She was constrained by the red roses in her hands.
" Liam, I also want white roses. " She pouted.
But his lips didn't move in reply. There was still a smile and love in his eyes for her.
" Get Up Rose. " His commanding voice poured in her ears again.
Colors around her were fading, turning into pure white, rays of lights.
" I'll buy you the whole parterre, babe. Just open your eyes. " His sweet voice came again.
It got all white. She braced her hands to stop the light. It was blinding her eyes. She shut her eyes tightly, " He said open your eyes. " She repeated in her subconscious mind.
She was forcing her eyes to open. She cracked open her eyes. She blinked her eyes many times. She fully opened them. She saw his worried face. He was looking sad and doleful.
" Liam, " She whispered.
" Dear God! You wake up. " She felt his lips on her and his hands on her cheeks.
She closed her eyes again and lost in fantasy.
" Open your eyes. Don't close them. " He said.
" Where are my white roses? " She said with close eyes. She thought herself in her dream to be reality.
" Please open your eyes babe. " She felt a twinge of pain in his voice.
She snapped open her eyes. Moving her eyes to his face on the ceiling. She perplexed, " Where are we? We were around flowers. " She whispered confusedly. She essayed to get up.
He quickly slipped his arm around her waist to help her to sit.
" Why am I feeling weak? Where are we? " She asked again.
" Are you feeling pain anywhere? Mrs. Rodriguez. " Doctor asked her.
She glanced at her, " Doctor?! I'm fine. Am I in the hospital? " she panicked.
" Relax. You are in hospital. " Liam politely said.
She occupied in her thinking and tried to think. His voice pulled her again. She remembered blood on her hands. Danil and Travis. " Oh my God! Angelina, Mel? Liam!! " She widened her eyes.
" Shh, she's fine. " He said, placing his fingers on her lips. She could hear the beep of the machine.
" We've to inject you ma'am. Please, calm down. " Doctor said.
" No, I'm fine. Liam." She shook her head.
" Just Relax. Don't stress. " He pulled her in a hug.
" My arm is hurting. I don't want any injection. " She mumbled.
" No one will inject you. " He said.
She felt her throat dry, " I want water. " She asked.
He alluded at Paul who was protecting the door. Paul worked immediately.
Liam gave her a water bottle. She gulped the water from a small bottle.
" You should rest." He said, caressing her cheek
" I wanna sit. " She said.
He put pillows behind her back to make her sit comfortably. Instead, She rested her head on his shoulder.

He was running his fingers in her hair and massaging her scalp. When she slept on her shoulder. He laid her back on the bed. He sent the doctor in to check her. Quickly taking shower, he came back in.
" Is everything alright? " He asked, still holding a towel in his hands. Water was dripping from his wet hair.
" Yes, sir. " Doctor said with great relief.
He sat down again on the chair next to her. He took her hand in his hands and placed a kiss on it's back. He wanted her to wake up again. For this, she needed to heal completely. He was feeling calm after hearing her. He called Danil to purchase white roses.
Danil came in with white roses, " Dad and mom wanna see Rose. " Danil said.
" She's not fine yet. I'm not allowing until she properly heals. " He said.
" Can I…" Danil hesitated.
" Sure, Danil. " He smiled, after many days.
" I should thank Rose for bringing your smile back." Danil said and hugged him strongly. He patted his back and hugged him back.
" Did we get any processing in investigating? "He asked Danil.
" Not yet brother. We could not catch the maid. We got her dead body in the lawn. She gulped the same poison I guess. When she got the news. " Danil replied.
" I can't keep her in the home until I catch the real attacker. " He raked his hair.
" Do you want me to arrange anything? " Danil asked.
Gazing at him, he nodded in yes.
She woke up after six hours. He didn't leave her side, " Hey! " He smiled.
" Hey! " She stared around with groping eyes.
" Do you want anything?" He asked, holding her hand.
" Yes, my stomach is empty." She whispered.
He fished out his phone and ordered them. Paul came with a food tray.
He took it from his hand. Before leaving, Paul bowed at him. He made her sit leisurely. He made her eat the soup himself, " Why am I here? I've asked the doctor. No one is saying a word to me. You tell them to do so. " She asked him, staring at him for an answer.
" I'll explain everything to you. First get better." He said.
He could feel her irritation. He did not want her to stress about anything. He spent the next two days taking care of her. He did not allow anyone to come near her. He was himself taking care of everything.
