My husband is awake.

Christabel's POVWatching Katherine and Melody fret in front of me while trying to attend to my needs was both touching and hilarious. I had woken up a few hours ago, and by now it was close to dinner time, and I was starving.Passing out earlier was embarrassing, and as much as I didn't want to talk about it, I was thankful no one was speaking about it. "What would you like to eat Belle?" Katherine asked, picking up the landline beside the couch.Like I said earlier, this private hospital was like a hotel, so it came with the perks of the patients or their families being able to order anything they wanted.And their food was to die for! It was like they hired one of the best chefs in the country to come work as a nutritionist here."Anything," I replied from where I sat.Katherine answered, "Okay," before saying whatever she wanted to the phone. Melody was trying to distract me with the tab she was holding. She was showing me a funny skit on the net, so I could take my mind off

I wonder who.

Christabel's POVStanding in front of my husband's ward, I was dressed in a new cloth. Adam and Katherine had proposed I saw Andre without him knowing I was admitted.I agreed, because I don't want Andre worrying about it too."Are you ready?" Melody urged with a smirk beside me. "Why are you hesitating? You wanted to see your husband, didn't you?"An urge came up, and I felt like wiping that nasty smirk off her face. Seeing Andre had been my wish since I heard of what happened,but I was getting cold feet.What if it's worse than they let on? And Andre was deeply injured?Adam and Katherine were behind me, waiting patiently while I panicked. I still felt guilty for what I said to Katherine earlier in the ward about her not understanding.But still, I felt I was right. She wouldn't understand me because it wasn't her husband who hurt and denied access to seeing him.Clenching the door knob, I bit my lips in anticipation as the door slowly creaked as I pushed it, my heart racing."Her

Reassurances.

Andre's POVMy eyes were heavy, and everything was groggy.These were the first thoughts that came into my very blank head at the moment.*Beep…'Ugh, where am I?'An obnoxious sound continuously rang in my ears, bringing my heart racing.'What happened?'Trying to move my eyes felt like heavy work, and my head was drowsy.*Beep…The noise came, attacking my aching head. Snippets of memories evaded my mind, and it had me groaning.'Was I dead?'I couldn't be dead! No!Not when Christabel was still here. How could I leave her, breaking my promise?Struggling, a faint but very bright light penetrated the little gap between my eyes.I squinted, trying to avoid these blindingly strong lights.Slowly my head turned to the side, shaking my hands in the process. I jerked, sending the infusion needle into my vein deeper, and I let out a grimace in pain.*Beep… beep…The heart monitor machine whined as it followed the rhythm of my heart, warning me as I continued to move.Finally, I got a gl

You can't be serious.

Christabel's POVSitting in the ward, while trying to slice the apple in my hand, the sounds of Adam and Andre's discussion wafted through my ears.After we had spent some time together, I figured it was time to let them in. Katherine and Melody sat quietly, listening to the two brothers talking. I cut into their conversation, "How is Mark by the way?" The apple slices were ready, and I shoved it to Andre, sitting beside him.Adam replied, stretching his hand to snatch a slice of apple from Andre's bowl. "He's doing okay." A scowl formed the way to Andre's lips, "Get yours." He said, dragging the bowl to his chest. Andre stuck out his tongue, "Christabel didn't say it was yours either."Andre jabbed, looking at his brother in disgust. "She didn't need to say it." From the corner of my eyes, I saw Katherine and Melody giggling at their antics.Sometimes, I feel like these two were a pair of cat and dog. They often bullied each other, like children, disregarding their ages.Their e

A Traitor

Christabel's POV"Do I look like I am joking to any of you?" Andre's chill voice was carried through the silent ward, as we waited for his response.But this response was not what we wanted. I could tell from the looks on Adam's and Katherine's faces that they had the same look as mine."Andre, don't you see what's being said on the television? How can you say you plan to do nothing?" I pulled Andre's gown, shaking him a little.I tried my best not to pull hard, due to his stab wound. It was late at night, and we were yet to sleep like in the hospital.In between our talk, the occasional screams of a patient or doctor shouting for a file or tool, along with the stretcher being rolled to the theater could be heard.This was why I hated the hospital. You would think it was a place to get well, but you would be surprised at the number of deaths being recorded here daily.Andre pulled my small palms off his gown gently, his straight face to his brother, "None of you have dealt with Bobby

Is he really guilty?

Christabel's POV "I don't want to, but I have reasons to suspect Jimmy." Andre's deep voice sent a chill through me. Eyes wide in shock, I sat quickly on the bed. "Jimmy?" Andre confirmed, adjusting himself. "Yes," My head was buzzing. "Why would you suspect Jimmy? He's been loyal and you have known him for years." Still reeling in shock, I peered into his eyes searching for an answer. It doesn't make sense. Jimmy hates Bobby. I have seen it through his actions and words. Andre shook his head, releasing a heavy chuckle. "He might be loyal, babe, and I might have known him for all my life, but I have no idea what his thoughts are." His deep chest, vibrating as he laughed, caused me to feel his sadness. Even with how hard he tried to play it off, I could still see the flicker of pain in his eyes. "But, still." I hesitated, biting my thin lips. "Do you have evidence to prove this? What made you suspect him?" He sighed, the beeping sound of the heart machine bringing the l

Red flags that were ignored.

Christabel's POV"Tell me, what did Jimmy do?" I sniffled, making myself comfy on the bed. Letting out a sigh, he pulled me into his arms. I knew this was hard for him, but as his wife, it was only proper I got the truth from him."Before Bobby appeared in the picture, Jimmy had been behaving weirdly." He began, his large palm stroking my back. The ward was quiet, only the beeping sound and snores that left Melody's parted lips, were the only noise disturbing the night. Even the ever busy hospital seemed to have seen the importance of this moment. "How weird?" I asked, my eyes falling on his pale face.Andre's face was as white as a sheet, ever since he had been admitted, but finally, I could notice a faint layer of blush which clouded his cheeks.What helped him so far was the antiseptics, and I was not sure why they hadn't worn off by now, but by the way Andre was pursing his lips, I figured it was starting to wear off."I wouldn't classify Jimmy's actions as weird, but it is the

Another case of ill health.

Christabel's POV"Christabel," A voice called, while I was deep into my sleep. "Christabel?" A gentle touch followed on my skin, making me groan."Who is it? Leave me alone please." I mumbled under my breath, still with my eyes closed and burying my head into the blankets."Wake up Christabel, it's two in the afternoon." The person repeated, this time, the tone turning firm like a mother hen. Even in my sleep, I could hear the sternness in the person's voice."Give me five minutes okay?" I pleaded, holding out four fingers to whoever was disturbing my sleep.Going to bed so late after the hectic days we have been through was the height of it for my body. I needed rest, and if I didn't get it, I was going to get cranky for the whole day.The blanket was yanked off, giving me no time to scream. "Come on Christabel, don't be lazy. At least put something in your stomach." "Go away." I groaned, covering my head with the soft pillows.My head was foggy, and even my eyes were clouded with

Arguments.

Christabel's POV"Christabel," he started with a sigh, his face still as bloodless as ever. "It's not how you think.""Not how I think?" I shouted in response, clenching my fists tightly. "What is wrong with you Andre, first you say something, then the next second you do the opposite of it. Just a few hours ago we promised we would tell each other everything about us and that includes if you are hurting!" My chest rose furiously, and my cheeks burned while I stared at him with fire in my eyes.Katherine and Adam went silently to the corner, opting to give us some time to ourselves as couples.He touched his brows, closing his eyes to cover his frustration. "Christabel, please don't do this here, not now, and not in front of them.""Andre, I am doing this in front of them and I don't care! What is wrong with you?" I rose fully on my feet, my brows furrowed.How can Andre act like this was nothing?I woke up not finding my husband beside me, and he expected me not to be worried. Then w

Justice Averted.

Christabel's POVFor days, neither Andre nor I were speaking. Sure, I asked about his well-being, but I didn't show that I cared.Presently, I was in Joan's ward. Due to my being preoccupied with Andre, I had forgotten about his situation but thankfully, I wasn't too far behind. Melody and Tina had filled me in.Doctor Felicia had visited Joan, and taken a look at him. There was still good news. Joan could be cured. The news was like a light to our tunnels. Katherine and Adam's especially.Katherine had shed tears at the news, and even Adam's usual stoic expression fell when a sigh of relief left his mouth.Sitting on the couch in Joan's ward, I watched as Andre was pushed in by John from the side of my eyes.Today he had tried talking to me, but I didn't want to cave in.Let him bask in the silent treatment a little bit so he can see how I felt. He had been let too easily, that is why he had the nerve to treat me this way."Doctor Felicia, how is he," Katherine probed anxiously, fo
