Chapter 24

The doctor shook his head; his face had shades of sadness in them.
'She has been responding to treatment very well. We have also treated her wound." The doctor looked at Dylan who seemed to smile at the good news.

'Then why did you look so sad?" Anna asked. At first, she was scared because the doctor walked out with sadness written all over his face.
Mr and Mrs Young nodded as well. They also wondered why the doctor had frowned as though something had happened to Alexia when in fact, she was responding to treatment.

The doctor sighed sadly again.
'Alexia visit this hospital with her mother when she was younger and anytime she visits, she visits with help. She helps some of the kids get surgery and some other monetary help they needed. I never thought I would treat Alexia like this. She doesn't deserve the treatment she got from that animal with human skin."

Everyone sighed as well.
Dylan looked at the doctor, he walked closer to him and held his hand.
'I want to see her." He uttered.
The doctor nodded his head.
'Come with me, Dylan," the doctor uttered and walked back into the emergency room; his parents and Anna followed.

Alexia was laid on the bed with different tubes connected to her body, machines beeped beside her. She was dressed in the hospital cloth and her eyes were closed shut, her pink lips had turned become pale. She breathe with oxygen; some tubes were fixed to her nostrills.
Dylan rushed to her, he held her hand and sat beside her. Tears gathered in his eyes as he started at her decolorize face.
'Alexia, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for leaving you." He said almost like a whisper.

His parents and Anna stared at him. They looked pained and scared as well. However, they were more of shocked seeing Dylan cry because of a woman. They knew their son as a playboy, they knew he didn't care about any woman and vowed never to love a woman. They didn't know the reason their son turned out that way but there was nothing they could do about it. Seeing him being so affectionate with Alexia, they were glad; although the situation was not something to be glad about, a part of them felt that way.


Two Days Passed:

Alexia hadn't opened her eyes but the doctor assured them she was responding to treatment but would need something to gather the strength to wake up.
Dylan checked on her everyday. He was always there when the nurse bathed her. He was always there when the nurses inject her food into the drips she received. He was with her all the time, sometimes, he would cry.
As a man, Dylan hated to cry but whenever he looked at Alexia, tears leaves his eyes. He still blamed himself for what happened to her.

Just then, someone walked in.
It was Anna. She brought some food for her brother and some clothes for him to change into.
She looked at Alexia as she walked closer to her brother. Once she reached the front of her brother, he dropped the clothes and food then walked closer to Alexia's bed.
Her mouth was partly opened as a tube was inserted in it. Her face looked so different and whitened.
'Alexia, you have to wake up because I have a lot to tell you. Even after what my brother did to you, you have been nothing but nice to me. Remember Cole, he asked me earlier this morning but I turned him down because you. I want you to be part of my happiest moment. You advised me about Cole more than anyone ever did and it turned out all good. You told me to focus on myself first and he will come around after he sees what he is losing. Now he has, wake up so that we can spank him together before I accepted his proposal. Alexia..." She cried out.

Dylan stood, he had watched his sister talk about Alexia but when she began to cry, he had to comfort her. He walked closer to her, pulled her closer by wrapping his hand over her shoulder.
'Its okay." He placed his head on her head and gently caressed her back, closing his eyes as he did.
Anna nodded her head, wiped her tears and disengaged from her brother.
'Brother, it's been two days but her father and husband isn't here yet. The nurses even called you her husband while I am her sister. Do they have to be this mean to her even when she's incapacitated?" Anna raised her brows and sat, she was amused at their behavior.

'Don't talk about them." His eyes didn't leave Alexia the whole time.
'Alexia needs only people that genuinely cares and loves her around her right now." He added.
Anna nodded her head.
'Brother, come and eat. You hardly ate anything in two days."

Kylie sat in her room, she had some food on her lap while she watched a movie on the screen tv plastered on the wall right ahead of her.
Her blonde hair was packed in a messy bun, she was still in her night gown. She looked like she just woke up.

Just then, Mr James walked out of the bathroom. Worry flashed through his face as he walked closer to Kylie who sat on the bed like a liability that she was.
'Do you think we should check on Alexia?" he asked looking at her. It was the same time she threw some chips into her mouth, she chewed it gently still watching the tv.
'Kylie, I am talking to you." His voice was low not aggressive at all.
Kylie snapped her head towards him.
'James, are you okay?! If you want to visit your daughter, go ahead and visit her. As for me, I am going nowhere!" she snapped at him.

Almost as if she used charm, Mr James shook his head; a smile replaced his worried face.
'I'm just joking. She can go to hell!!" he muttered and scurried closer to her.
'Kylie, since we got married, you haven't allowed me to lay with you. You know how much I love sex." He uttered looking at her seductively.
Kylie snapped at him, her eyes morphed into an angry one.
'So I should die because you love sex very much? James, leave me be, I'm enjoying this show!" She grumpled, shifted from him and took the pillow as a barrier between them.
James had no option but stay on his own.

Clarissa packed her bags, she was leaving the house to be in Mexico to see her dear friend
Henry stood beside her wearing only boxers.
'This isn't part of the plan." He frowned his face and pull his hands at akimbo.

Clarissa smiled sadly as well.
'I don't want to leave you either but I cannot be a bad friend, you know? And we still need Alexia. I have to go there and pretend I really care about her. However, you have to come too but I will only call you after she has woken up." She placed her hand on his shoulder then gave him a peck on his face.
He snaked his hand around her waist, dragged her closer; their faces were inches away from each other.
'Fine! I don't want to see her. It is you I want to see, you know." He smirked and gave her a peck on the lips.

She smiled and wrapped her hands around his shoulder, she moved closer and kisses him intensely. It took them few seconds to let each other go.


Two Weeks Later:
Clarissa sat in the available chair in the room while Dylan stood walking to and fro. The doctor said Alexia would be waking up anytime soon so everyone has been panicking, wanting to see her wake up especially Dylan.
Henry and Clarissa held each other hands as thought they were now couples.
Dylan hated the sight of them but sending them away would only cause commotion and in reality, the duo had more right to be there than him. After all, he was nothing more than an ex-boyfriend who broke her heart.

However, all he wanted was Alexia's safety.
He had been with her for three days straight now but she hadn't opened her eyes.
Clarissa who was pissed suddenly stood.
'Henry, I have to go. I don't think the doctors in this hospital are competent at all. Alexia should have woken up, it's been so long and she hasn't woken up." She feigned tears and threw her brunette hair to her back.

Henry stood. He was dressed in white shirt and black trousers. He had brown hair that fitted his handsome face very well. He held Clarissa and pulled her into a hug which only pissed Dylan and Anna off. Although Anna didn't know about Henry's and Clarrisa's plan, she knows fake when she sees one.
Dylan couldn't contain his anger and disgust, he hissed and looked away from them.
Clarissa heard it, she looked at him.
'Who do you think you are?!" she yelled at him with defiant eyes.

Dylan scoffed and turned to her. He met Clarissa's eyes, she looked so rude and unruly.
'Yes, who the hell do you think you are?! You're nothing but an ex boyfriend that broke her fvcking heart. Tell me, are you here to make jest of her?!" She walked closer and closer pissing Dylan off.
Dylan clenched his fist. She should be grateful God made her a female, if not, he would have slammed her head against the wall and roll her tongue backward for talking to her like that.

'And you, did you tell her I fvcked you before?!" He sprout.
Henry widened his eyes. Clarissa's eyes changed to a dark shade of anger. She wanted to punch him on his chest but Henry held her.
'That was even before you met or started dating her!" clarissa yelled.

Anna shook her head, she wanted out of all the drama. She took her eyes to Alexia while she planned to walk out but what she saw shocked her to death.
'Guys!"
She yelled.
