Author's point of view Raphael got prepared and ready to go to court. He had so many smiles on his face.“Do you really want to go?” The lawyer asked him because he knows how humiliated Raphael will be and knows Raphael doesn't like getting humiliated. “Why won't I be there? You worry about being humiliated, there is nothing that bothers me, so let's go.” Raphael said and smirked as they drove out of his house. Meanwhile, Isabelle and Dominic were preparing to leave for the court as wellIsabelle wasn't feeling too well and she was acting too slow, Dominic noticed. “Are you okay? You look like you don't want to go to court.” Dominic asked her, he knew she had waited for this day to come after finding out about the second result. “I really don't feel okay, I had a dream last night and it troubles me a lot, Dominic I think you should stay back home, I will go myself,” Isabelle said to him and he quickly shook his head. “I won't leave you to go alone, and besides why do you want to
Author's point of view As Raphael heard that Isabelle was in a coma and still alive he was so shocked. “Alright, I-I will be at the hospital soon.” He stuttered, Raphael was confused, seeing from the TV how fatal the accident was, how the car crashed down, he thought they would both die at a spot. He then suddenly remembered Dominic. “What about Mr Dominic?” He asked quickly. “His body wasn't found, so no one knows if he is still alive or dead.” The lady over the phone answered. Raphael released a breath and thought Dominic might be dead by now. “I will be at the hospital shortly,” Raphael answered and hung up. He took the last sip of his whisky and stood up to go change up before leaving for the hospital. The hospital's name was mentioned earlier while he was watching TV so he didn't bother asking. As he got to the hospital he was directed to the doctor's office. They both greeted themselves and Raphael sat opposite to him. He didn't even act like someone he married was be
Author's point of view “Don't tell me my wife is dead.” Raphael sounded worried at least, even if he wanted Isabelle dead he still had a soft spot for her. Should I call that a psychic? Or what?“She isn't dead but the baby is, the baby had to go for her to live due to the injections we gave to her, the injections were too strong for the baby to survive, I am sorry Mr. Raphael, “ the sector said but Raphael saw that as a piece of better news, he didn't even want a seed of Dominic to remain alive. “Doctor that isn't my concern now, all I want is for my wife to be back on her feet, at least regain consciousness again,” Raphael said and the doctor nodded. “That’s our measure of concern as well, we are still trying our best, she is indeed a strong woman, and she will fight her way through.” The doctor replied to him. “Is there any necessary thing I need to know about her health?” Raphael asked the doctor, he wanted to leave already. “There is nothing else, we will always make sure t
