The Affair Revenge

Chapter 24

Dom

It’s been hours now and the sun had peak from the night. My mind had been flood with guilt all night. I just can’t help but feel like this may be my fault. I should of just try try harder and she won’t be here.

I wanted to keep her safe so bad. And i fail. The one person i care for so deeply, and i let them get hurt.

The doctors and nurses have been coming in and out checking on Eve’s vital and no changes.

*door creek open*

Dr. Marconi and Nurse Libby walk in again for a morning routine. They softly spoke to each other. I watch as they check the machines, the iv bag, use a small flashlight as the doctor checks Eve’s eyes. Dr. Marconi walk over to the computer and type a few stuff as he finish his exam.

“Doctor is she doing okay, will she wake up soon” i look up at him with my tired eyes. They were red from holding back my tears

“She stable for now, it just a waiting game” breathing slowing as he watch what he says to me.

I know doctor have this way of talk to patients love ones. Knowing that the patients may not do well but try to speak clam and gentle so they don’t let us think rash. They like to wait until its very noticeable that the patient is going down hill.

“I know you said its a waiting game doc but what happens if she never wakes up?” I swallow a lump in mu throat

Dr. Marconi clear his throat and i adjusted my self in my chair. A bit of fear sworn in my stomach. A buzzing sound run through my ears as i prepare myself to hear the worst outcome from the doctor.

“Well if she doesn’t wake up, and the test stats no changes. Then she may be in two states. 1) she may be in a coma and there is no tell when she will awake. 2) one thing may change on her stats and my final exam will show no brain active.” Walking towards me but holding a few feet away

“Ohh umm..” i rub my face hard trying to not picture this from happening

“At that rate the spouse will have to make a very important decision on what to do” nodding at me

“What kind of decision’s?” Looking up at the doctor with a firm look at him

“I will have to speak to the spouse for that” Dr. Marconi gave me look that said it all

It was the face we all fear from our doctors. Just gut punch me now. I can’t bare to never hear her voice again. Dr. Marconi had the dreadful look on his face. Telling him that, if she doesn’t wake up then her life will be in her husbands hand. And i have a feeling, that he will give up on Eve as fast as a blink of an eye. Thats what his facial expression tells me. The bad news.

“Doctor is it bad?” Asking one last question as he try to step away. As my whole world split into two. Sinking into a crave of lava.

“We hope for the best result.” Then he walk out the room

“F*** Eve, baby, you need to wake up soon, not later but soon. Don’t let that a**hole in charge of your health.” Pulling on to my scalp as my red eye start to water up.

I scot my chair closer to Eve’s bed. Brushing her soft hair as she sleep so peacefully. She looks a little flush but i can still see that pink blush on her caramel skin. I watch her breathing as i see her stomach rise up and down. Scared it my slow down and stop.

“Eve, please you need to fight this. Just come back to me.” I grab Eve’s hand as i allow our fingers to interlock and have my thumb rub her flesh

As time goes by i feel anxious as i watch the clock go by. I don’t know what to do. If only there was something i can do. Something to help her.

“Eve, you need to open up your beautiful brown eyes. Theres so much out here that awaits.” Breathing irregular, as i hold her hand in mine

“I know you are in there somewhere. I hope you are not feeling any kind of pain. Not like that pain i am feeling right now. Watching over you, as lay in this bed hook up to machine. And with so much urge inside of my i i feel so confuse and angry. I hate not being able to do anything. And i know the doctors are doing what they can and they say it’s all up to you now.” A crackle in my voice as speck to Eve’s body

“Can you hear my baby? It’s up to you to come back. You need to come back. You may feel safe in there back you can’t stay forever. Just please, please fight whatever it is that keeping you trap. And just come back please. There is so much thing out there i want to show you. I want you to know how it truly feels to be love and care for, the right way.” Clear my throat as i glance at the machines for a brief moment

“Please come back, don’t let this be the end. I promise you that when you move on from that b******. I will take you far away from him, from here. We can see the world if you want. Start a while new life anywhere. Just …Eve open your eyes.” I place my head on to the bed and just waited waited to hope for a sign

As i lay there for a little against Eve warm body. Her hand squeezed my as a respond to my squeeze. I jump at the movement.

This hope of joy and electric nerves run through my body as i stare at her hand and i see her squeeze me hand again. I go up as my hand was still interlock with hers. I place a hand in her cheek.

“Eve, Eve are you awake. Open your eyes?” Lend into her and i spoke softly. Trying not to scare her with my voice.

Who know if she even wants to see me. What if she wanted it to be her husband. The first person she opens her eyes too, what if she doesn’t want it to be me.

With just groans and mumbles coming out, Eve was finally opening her eyes. Pure joy sprang inside as she blinks hardly to open. I couldn’t help my self as i give Eve a hug.

“Ohh Eve, thank god you are awake. I was afraid for a second.” Holding her tightly as i am afraid she run and leave from me.

Thank god the worst of all if this is gone. We can move forward now.

“Dom..” horsey voice loud out as she try to speak

“Yes, its me. I’m here.”letting go of my tight embrace to look Eve in the eyes.

“Don’t be scared Eve, everything going to be okay”

I went ahead and press the button next to Eves bed. That way the doctor and nurse can check her out. And give Eve a clear yo leave soon.

“Where where am i?” Eve ask as she try to scramble around the room with her eyes

“You are at the hospital Eve, you were in a car accident” i grab her hand to comfort her.

*knock knock*

As Eve and eye look at the door to see both Dr. Marconi and Nurse Liby walk in with smiles on their faces. They were happy to see Eve awake as were i.

“Well hello there Eve, glad to see you awake, i’m Dr. Marconi and I been taken care of you.” Walk towards Eve bedside.

“Hello Dr.Marconi.” Eve still had a tired horsey voice as she talk

“How do you feel Eve?” Giving a vert friendly tone at her

“I I feel sore all over. And my head hurts pretty bad.” Touching her head at where it hurts

“Well that normal after the accident. Do you mind if i give you a quick exam?” Eve nods her head for yes responds

“Nurse will you help sit up the patient please?” Speaking toward Nurse Liby who was on the other side if Eve bed. Checking al all the machines and everything connected to her.

I had my back against the wall in front of Eve’s bed. Giving her space from the crowded environment right now.

I couldn’t stop smiling at her. Just watching as life coming back into her eyes. I left a huge relief when she woken up.

“Ugh thank god she okay” whispering to my self

Dr.Marconi went on to give Eve a full exam and ask the nurse to take some test to confirm everything okay. The doctor ask Eve a few questions. Just to make sure Eve was okay. With her not waking up sooner. The doctor was afraid she may had hurt her brain. Hoping she didn’t need surgery.

“Well you seem okay Eve, i do wanna keep you here for a bit longer. Just to make sure nothing changes. Then after all that and the labs are clear. You can go home. Sound good.” Nodding and smiling at the both of us

“Okay doctor, thank you”Eve smile back at the doctor as she try to adjust her self in the bed

“Yes doctor, thank you so much. We are very grateful for you. And nurse Liby thank you both” thank both of them for their service.

With them or this hospital who know what would happen. If anything, Eve would of been on the side of the road all alone, cold and wet. She would of probably died out there.

I shake my head mentally. I don’t even wanna think about how worst this situation could of happen. Just be glad she okay and you got the call here. I am just glad i have this moment with her right now.

“I will be back later with your lab works” Dr. Marconi nod and walk out the room

I walk back over to Eve’s side to hold her hand. I was glad she didn’t flinch at my touch. She just laid her head back at smile at me with happiness.

Ugh too see those big brown eyes staring back at me. That was worth siting here for hours frighten and afraid that i may never have moment with this beautiful women.

Nurse Liby finish type up on the computer as she smile at the both of us. We didn’t say anything at here as it felt like just the two of us in the room.

I know the nurse and doctor know i am not Eve’s spouse. Nurse Liby had already figure it out that i am more of just a friend. I guess in their line of work they kind of seen it all.

You wouldn’t think working at a hospital there be any drama but nah. Nurse Liby told me how working here is like being back in high school. There always something going on. Either the workers or the patients. It’s a thriller to work here. You are always on your toes. The drama is insane, she told me how i can be like a live drama show sometime. I would never thought working at the hospital would be like at.

“Ohh Eve, i’m glad you are okay.” Not taking my eyes off her

“Dom how did you get here? How how did i get here?” A confuse look wash over her face

“Well you got in an accident on your way home. They couldn’t find anything on you beside my card in your pocket. A on site coo call me. They didn’t know if you were in an case i was working on or a dear friend. And i didn’t think at the moment that it would be you.” My smile disappear as i explain to Eve

“Well not until i got here at least. Everything change once i saw it was you in the bed. I blame myself your accident, i’m sorry Eve”

“Dom, its not your fault. You’re not the one who crash the car. It me, i remember what happen before everything went black.” Eve try to sit up and turn to me but pash in pain

“It was just too dark and it was raining hard. I probably slid off the road. It was my fault not yours okay. Don’t blame your self” Eve had this innocent look on her face

“Well i spoke to the cop on call and he said a drunk guy hit you” i saw how Eve’s eyes wide up

“Ohh okay, is he okay” her sweet voice melt me as she cares for others. Even when a stranger broke the law and d*** near kill her. She puts others before herself

“Yes, he okay kind of. He got arrested”

After that we started talking about anything to get out mind off of the fact that Eve in the hospital. I was glad to see her spark coming back little by little.

She was smiling and laughing the while time. I felt bad making her laugh, every time she try to laugh i see her holding her stomach tight with pain.

After while i try to get Eve to lay back and rest. After everything she been through. But she fight me the while time. Telling me that she had already rest enough.

Eve convince to stop fight her and let her be. Only if i get her something to eat, something non hospital food.

“Haha i see why you don’t want to sleep, someone woke up hungry” chuckling at her

“I been asleep for god who know how long. And plus i missed breakfast, a girl is hungry. Can’t you hear my tummy” rubbing her belly at me

“Okay okay little one, i will go out and you get something” laughing at her

“Just don’t take long”

“Will you arrest me if i do” winking at her

“Maybe one day Dom” chuckling back at me and we both laugh

30 minutes later

I come back to the room to see Eve struggle to get on the bed. So i rush to the chair to put down the food and help her

“Eve you shouldn’t be walking around yet” picking her up and laying her down gentle on the bed

“I just had to pee, that all” her voice was sounding a bit tired again

I walk back to the chair to grab the food and as i walk pass the bathroom a smell hit my nose

“Woah, pee, d*** girl more like you s*** the bed” waving my hand over my nose and little a small giggle out

“Ohh shut the f*** up, it doesn’t smell that bad. Just close the door please.” Crossing her arms as she pouts

“Haha okay, here your food you gremlin” getting the side table out and placing it over Eve’s bed. I lay the food eat for her to eat. And she smile and jump like a little kid just got a toy in his happy meal

“Yay thank you Dom, you are the best” eye close with the biggest smile on her face

“Anything for you Eve” i lend in and kiss her in the forehead

As we finish eating Eve ask me to hold her hand

“I am really glad you are here” puppy eye look at me

“I’m glad too Eve,” holding her tight i got up and sat next to her on the bed

“You are warm Dom, i was so cold until i heard your voice” softly talking as she nuzzle her head on my chest

I look down at Eve and she look up at me at the same time.

“I told you i will always be here for you, no matter what. Even for just a warm hug” i lend my forward wanting to kiss her so bad

But i can’t. I don’t want to kiss her like this.so i cup her cheek and stare into her eye.

“Dom..i want to kiss you but” i stop her as i lend in and kiss her forehead instead. With my hand on the back of her head

My heart jumps in joy, knowing that she wanted me to kiss her. But i know better to kiss her at a time of weakness. One day i will kiss her. And she will be all mine, just mine.

“Thats good too” and she snuggle into my embrace as she fall asleep
