After the yuletide season, there came the new year which was celebrated by more. Everyone gathered in their terraces, fixed their eyes on the televisions, watched through their windows, and waited at their entrance gates.
As they counted from ten to one and the man in white gown beat the big drum, the fireworks in the sky flourished with their amazing sparkles."Happy New Year!" what people screamed in every corner.The long tables were full with sumptuous meals. The ten grand chairs were occupied by their friends, fellow businessmen, and girlfriends."Cheers! For this coming year. Success for everyone fellas!" Christopher raised his glass of wine as he stood up.His company was having a year-end party at a 7-star hotel in Carter Tower, one of Edward's hotels. The party was consisted of his board of directors, managers, supervisors, and some reward-working employees.He didn't include all of Michaels International Group employees for they already had th"How's our son? Doctor tell us!" Christopher and Lauren rushed to the entrance of the emergency room and asked the doctor in-charge of Albert's situation."Chairman Michaels, he's already out of danger!" the doctor uttered after eight hours of surgery.He suffered some burns on his arms and some bruise on his chest.Both of Albert's parents heaved a sighed of relief hearing that he's already safe but was also shocked with the doctor's next statement."But I am sorry to tell you that he must be on wheelchair for a long period of time. His legs were stuck and he barely got out of the car"Lauren's legs wobbled while Christopher supported her shoulders. They both gasped as their chests tightened. That was the time when Chester and Edward went out of the emergency room with Albert still unconscious while lying on the bed.The doctors and the nurses forbade them to get in but they were death worried of their bestfriend's condition that they had no choice but
"Is it true? Tristan's dad had an accident?" Isabella asked while sitting on the bench in the lakepark with Jaden.They were still in Ireland and Jaden heard the news from Laila and from his mom in the mansion. He clasped his girlfriend's hand caressing them together while replying to her question."Yup! What's worse? He can't walk for a while!" Jaden sighed.He was looking at the wide icy horizon pondering on everything that happened in his life with Isabella. Isabella, on the other hand, nestled her head on his broad chest while they were both sitting sluggishly."Poor Albert. Even worse if he can't walk again!" Isabella whispered."Hmm!" Jaden simply reacted while kissing her hair."Bella, let's get married!" when suddenly he moved facing her and sternly stared at her.He popped out a proposal Isabella wasn't expecting to hear that day."What? Are you serious? Are you proposing now?" Isabella lifted her head as she met his gaze."I am.
"Do you have any plans after our schedule?" Sean, one of the interns in St. Marys Hospital asked Samantha while they walked in big strides in the corridor.He was older than her for three years and he was in his last year of his studies.She was having her internship as part of her training in taking Doctor of Medicine, a preparation to be a cardiologist."I always have. Bonding with my son!" Samantha simply replied while she glanced at him.Sean nodded for a while then also stared at her."Sometimes I wonder who that b*stard who just abandoned a little angel!" Sean reacted while squinting his eyes.He also nodded at some nurses who were smiling at him as they walked by. In that hospital, Sean was named as the 'Heartthrob Doctor' and Samantha was 'The Lucky Woman' for he almost bewitched the whole nursing station with his signature smile especially if he would show his single dimple on his left cheek."Thanks but it's me who left. Look! They're thr
"News flash bros! The blue-eyed guy was shot in the airport in Ireland!" Chester announced when they came to visit Albert in the mansion.They were in the recreational room in the mansion just a glass wall distance to the infinity pool. He was holding a glass of cranberry juice with his right hand while his left was holding a cue.Edward on the other hand, moved his arm smoothly back, then forward in a pendulum motion. The rest of his body remained still as he stroked through the cue ball, letting the cue come to rest naturally."Whops! Bulls eye!" he raised his fist gesturing a victory while playing billiards."You mean somebody planned to kill him?" he then asked glancing at Chester.Albert was just watching his friends while listening to their talks. He pushed his wheelchair and moved to the wine rack.It was just five in the afternoon and never really had a nice lunch but he wanted to drown himself with wine again. He opened a bottle and poured a gl
"Young Master Michaels, please you need to listen to us. You have to stop drinking and try to exercise your legs. Move them little by little!" his new doctor beseeched him but instead of listening, he gulped another glass of wine in his hand while staring blankly on his legs.He had grown stash and little beard and no plan of shaving them.His private nurse once tried to clean his face but Albert just brushed her hand off and the shaver and cream fell loudly on the tiled floor.The nurse also received a hurtful scolding. Since then no one had ever touched him again."Young Master!" the doctor still tried to speak gently while staring at the man who was just by the window watching whatever it was outside in his own dim room.He didn't want to turn on the lights. He didn't want to open the glass window. His bed was a mess and him most of all...was a total disaster!Nobody had the courage to ask when was his last bath but everyone could guess, probab
He fell down the floor and a loud thud echoed in his room. He irked in pain and tried to get up but his legs couldn't even feel anything."Ahhh!" he screamed frustrated."Albert!""Young Master!"Both Christopher and Andy exclaimed, worried look were all over their faces as they came rushing in. Jaden were also present and he went in first.He held Albert in bridal style as the latter irked in pain. He gently placed him on his adjustable bed and reclined the head tilt.He glanced at Albert as he moved a distance and saw his desperate look. He felt pity on his Young Master who was once full of life and arrogance but now he looked like a living dead."Be strong, Young Master. Someday, you will meet her again!" Jaden smiled as he gently tapped Albert's shoulder.The latter just squinted his eyes on him then looked away."Albert, do you need anything?" Christopher asked anxiously."No, dad! I just fell while sleeping!" he softly replied.
That afternoon at exact five, Samantha and Dr. Turman talked to each other about their super special patient's condition. Dr. Turman was just five years older than Samantha and he was a General Surgeon. He was not the so-called hot doctor like Sean but he was also good looking.He explained to her everything including his gastritis. That's why that evening, Samantha checked all of his food diet from the tiniest part to its fullest.Although, Doctor Turman's dietary plan was excellent, she still made sure that Albert had them on time.Aside from that, she stashed all of the hard drinks including soft acidic drinks in the fridge and in the wine rack. She changed them to milk and green tea with raw honey."Thanks Doctor Turman!" Samantha told Doctor Turman after an hour of serious talks in Christopher's study room.Christopher and Lauren were also present and they had a high hope that Samantha could make Albert walk or better to say, revive his lost life.
She fed him with gentleness and care not minding the curious looks of the people in the dining table.Dr. Turman's mouth which was full of food was slightly open. Christian was also glancing at them from time to time. Christopher and Lauren were smiling as they stared at each other."I think I am full!" Albert whispered when he saw that Samantha was still spooning some soup."Are you? But you have to finish this so you won't get hungry later!" she uttered as she put the spoon closer to his mouth."Do I have to? This soup doesn't taste anything!" Albert complained."For a while, you have to eat something tasteless. Your gastritis is almost severe. Here, just three more spoons!" Samantha explained while stirring the soup on his bowl.Albert had no choice but to follow. When he was finished with his meal, he glanced at her plate."You didn't eat yet!" he frowned."Ow! I'll eat now that you're finished!""Next time don't feed me anymore. I ca
