When Emily arrived at the hospital, she saw Vicky waiting outside in the lobby.“We need the family of Mr. MacClare,” said the head nurse.Vicky stood up and said, “Here. I’m here.”“Please this way, we need you to sign some paperwork.”“Okay.”They walked away to a corner.Emily also wanted to say that she was family but since their last departure she felt a bit uneasy. She did leave her with harsh remarks. How she regretted that she didn’t depart in a much nicer tone. Vicky was just trying to be nice since she was mistaken about Joshua and her.Both the young nurse and Vicky were talking loud enough for Emily to hear.“These are some standard procedures that we must obligate,” said the charge nurse. “Some of those are also what was stated in his will.”“Will?” thought Emily. “He went to get a will done. When? Why? What’s his reasoning? Was it before or after he found out about her pregnancy? Did he make a decision that wasn’t right? Did he do it to get back at her? To make her live
After Joshua recovered from the surgery Emily sighed in relief. “Oh baby, daddy made it. Daddy’s alive. When I meet daddy, I am going to kiss him like no tomorrow,” she thought. She even smiled to herself as she was happy at the thought of hugging and embracing him.“He’s out of surgery. We also stopped the brain bleed. He will be put on blood thinner to help his blood from not clotting as well,” said the attending doctor.John came out and said, “He’s out of danger for now. But we still have to wait for him to wake up.”“The charge nurse earlier said something about him being brain dead, John,” said Emily.John tensed up immediately.Vicky was holding onto Butler Shawn’s hands.Emily looked at John hoping for a good answer. Hoping to tell her that it wasn’t true, John remained quiet for a few minutes. She felt her heart near stopping as John wasn’t looking for her in the eyes.“John, tell me, is he okay?”John looked at Emily and said, “Emily, it’s best to wait. We have to conduct ev
Jordan was pacing around after he got done talking to the police man. He was glad that Gary’s attempt to try to hang himself in his cell failed. He was happy that Gary didn’t die, and he was saved on time. He was happy that he will get a chance to torture this twisted man to his heart’s content.Jason on the other hand was finishing up his talk with the prison guard. He walked back over to Jordan with his hands in his pocket as if he was happy that the deal was done.Jordan said to Jason, “Is it done?” Jason answered, “Yes. It’s done brother.”Jason’s right eyebrows raised suspiciously at Jordan as to why he was so worked up about Gary. After Jordan was done talking to the police man Jason stopped Jordan and said, “What’s going on with you bro?”“Nothing.”Jason stood in front of Jordan and said, “There ain’t nothing when you act like this. I haven’t seen you like this before. At least not for a long time. Your temper and rage is getting out of control. So, tell me, what’s going on?
ONE WEEK WENT BYJoshua was starting to stir. He was no longer being intubated. He was breathing on his own. His vitals and symptoms have much improved. “I’m happy to say that he survived such a severe case of misfortune,” said the attending doctor.“Thank you. Then you so much for helping him,” said Vicky.“You’re welcome.” The attending doctor was smiling at Vicky. “Once he’s awake we will run his cognitive and see if he have any memory is or have any memory lost.”Vicky nodded her head at the attendant, and he left. Emily sat in the opposite direction of Joshua, and she was rubbing her fingertips on his arms. “Joshua, please wake up soon,” she whispers.Vicky thought, “Maybe it’s about time I nudge a bit.” She cleared her throat and grabbed Joshua’s arm from Emily.Emily frowned as to why did she do that all of a sudden. She was still trying to stay close to Joshua.“You should go now. Your fiancé is probably waiting for you,” said Vicky, without looking at Emily.Emily sulked at
“How did you know I’m awake?” asked Joshua, looking at his mother.“I’m your mother. This little trick of yours, I should at least know,” said Vicky, with tears in her eyes. When Joshua was young that’s what he would do to pretend that he was sleeping so his mother would leave him alone in his room. It was a coy that he often used so he could stay up to read his books or play games.Vicky smiled and grabbed a hold of Joshua’s hands and said, “Oh, son, I’m going to be a grandmother and you’re going to be a father.”Joshua smiled. “I’m not too confident.”“What?” asked Vicky, looking nearly pale.“I don’t think that the child is really mine. She’s probably just saying it to get me to recover faster. Or that she feels pity for me that’s all. Maybe even guilt.”Vicky pouted at his words. She have worked so hard on her plan, and she even thought it through before acting it out. She was a bit upset that all of her hard work is for nothing as he is refusing to believe in Emily’s confession.
Joshua nearly smirked with annoyance at himself. Here she is pretending to care. After all she have done to him and put him through, she really is trying too hard to make him fall for her all over again. The same innocent look that he would die for over and over again. If it’s just guilt trip, then she didn’t have to go this far for he have forgiven her already. He was going to let her go. While he watches her happiness from the sideline, he will be dying on the inside. But he won’t let her know that. He will pretend to gladly cheer her on as if he didn't care at all. And by doing all that, he will now step back and let her know there is nothing to worry about him. Everything is in the past now.Emily thought it was strange how Joshua was acting so distances from her. It was as if he was pulling arm’s length with her again. This back and forth game they kept playing with each other was becoming exhausting. How she wishes he would stop. How she wishes they would just talk peacefully t
NEXT DAY“What? What do you mean?” asked Emily, as she was trying to figure out what happened to her husband that early Friday morning. When she enter the hospital ward, she happens to find that the man sitting in the room was not Joshua. It was an elderly man who was confused combative. “Listen ma’am, for the fifth time,” said the charge nurse, who was getting quite annoyed at Emily’s same question. “Yes. Yes, I’m listening now,” said Emily, folding her hands together and trying to look calm at the charge nurse. “He’s not here anymore,” said the charge nurse.“Then where is he?” asked Emily.“He’s been discharged.”“When” she asked.“He left early this morning.”“What?” she asked again, as if she didn’t understand what she was saying. The charge nurse nearly rolled her eyes at Emily and said, “I told you what I see, he got in the car and left the hospital wing early this morning.” Emily frowned as to why he didn’t say anything to her. This whole entire time she was trying to mee
Joshua was in his office when Emily pop opened his door. “Joshua!” exclaimed Emily, she ran over to him.The security guard was running in after her, he grabbed her by the arm. “Ma’am I already told you that you cannot come in here.”Emily, refusing to leave said, “We need to talk,” looking desperately at Joshua. Joshua looked at Emily with a nonchalant expression. “Please, just give me ten minutes,” said Emily. Joshua sighed as he knew she wouldn’t leave. She was probably going to make a scene if he didn’t listen to her. He waved the security guard away.The security guard nodded his head and left the room, closing the door behind him. He was waiting on this day since he got discharged. She was constantly following him, but like before he was avoiding her. He have his own reasoning. And his personal feelings is to make sure he doesn’t get close to her. Afraid that if he saw her, he would chain her up and lock her away from Jack. Keeping her prisoner in his own world. Hiding her
