Mending The Heart - You're Mine

Chapter 11

Ryan's POV

" Don't worry, Aunt! Nothing will happen to Ava. Doctor is examining her. Please calm down yourself. " I consoled Aunt Aubrey as she was continuously shedding her tears.

" It's all my fault, Ryan. I should have not talked to her like that inspite of knowing about the consequences. " She whispered while sobbing.

" Maybe because we are making her think that we don't need her due to which she again got that attack. She took my words in a wrong way but I didn't mean that. " replied Mr. Jones who was sitting on the nearby bench covering his face with his palms while his head hung low.

" Uncle, aunt right now we should focus on Ava instead of blaming ourselves. It's not your fault, you people were just trying to protect her. But you know your daughter very well. She always take things in a wrong way.

And now lying here, unconscious, on the hospital bed. It's all fault of her devil brain. Why can't she just think straight?

She had never behaved this way in before nor got any panic attack then why now. I.. " I stopped as I saw doctor coming outside after checking her.

As he came out of the room, I immediately rushed towards him to know about my Ava's health.

" Doc, how's she? What has happened to her? Is she alright?" I bombarded him with my questions while he stood there with a frown on his face.

" I think she is not taking her medicines since a few days and is under a lots of stress due to which she has got that panic attack. I have also gone through her medical history which shows that she has not got any in last one and a half year.

I suggest you to please take a good care of her and don't miss her medicines otherwise it could be very dangerous for her. " Doctor told us while checking her reports.

" Are you a new one here? " Mr. Jones asked him coming towards us.

" Yes... I had joined six months ago as an assistant of Dr. Siddharth Desai. " He said looking confused listening to his question.

" Can we meet her now? " I asked him to avoid any further interrogation.

" Not now, as we are still doing few tests of her. It will probably take two three hours. After that you can meet her. " He explained as he shook his  head and went towards the nurse instructing her something.

" I think she won't get discharged before tomorrow so it would be better if you guys go home and take rest.

Uncle, aunt is crying since morning. It's not good for her health and you too are exhausted, so you both go home and take some sleep. I assure you that I will take care of her and won't let her happen anything. " I placed his hands between my hands while he was watching me with teary eyes.

" I don't want you to disturb with all this but Jayden has gone to Miami and due to some network issues over there we are not able to connect him. Otherwise I would have never called you amidst your interview. " I heard him say as he hugged me tightly.

" There is nothing to disturb, uncle. Even I am your son too. Don't I? You can call me and ask for my help any time without any hesitation. And when the matter is related to Ava then the problem has to face me before touching her. I will always protect her even if I have to go against her. " I replied reciprocating his hug.

" Now if you trust me then please take Aubrey Aunt with you and go home." He nodded.

" But I can't leave my daughter. She is still unconscious. How can I leave her in this state? " Mrs. Jones marched towards us shaking her head in no.

" If she will see you in this state then she will feel that she has made her mom cry which will affect her health. Do you really want your Chiku's health to deteriorate more?" She shook her head.

" Your Chiku is a fighter. Nothing will happen to her. Even God can't tolerate her continuous blabberings. So please don't worry, go home, eat something and take some rest. You can come here tomorrow morning before her discharge." She nodded as I wiped her tears.

After Few Hours

I was sitting beside Avery on the hospital bed. She is still unconscious due to heavy dosage of sedatives. Doctor informed us that she will be discharged tomorrow morning.

My Ava who has always remained as a chirpy bird is lying here all silent looking completely pale. I have never seen her this much quiet in all these years and now when she is not talking to me I am not able to tolerate this. I just want to hug her tightly.

I took her right hand in my palms and started caressing her soft skin.

Her eyes flickered while my body stiffened realising she is opening her eyes.

She opened her eyes slowly as she frowned seeing her surroundings while I was just staring at her beautiful face.

" Sh.. You are in hospital since morning. " I replied her immediately seeing her confused face while she gasped.

" But how? I mean.. I.. " She whispered in her weak voice as she was about to get up.

" Sh... Don't think about it to too much. We'll talk about it later. " I stopped her in middle and again made her lay on the bed.

" Where are mom and dad? " She asked in a worried tone.

" I sent them home to take some rest. They will come here by morning. " She nodded and silence crept all over the place as none of us talk for few minutes.

Both of us were just staring at each other.

" Are you not mad at me? " She asked me suddenly.

" Does it matter to you? " I shrugged as I didn't want to lash on her at that time.

Her eyes turned glassy and she held my palm tightly digging her nails into my skin unknowingly.

I know she did that unintentionally but it pains. I am a human too but I didn't let it show on my face. 

" Leave it. We'll talk about it later. " I told her as I wiped her tears which are now falling like Nigara Falls.

" Sorry " She whispered as she sobbed.

I just leaned towards her and kissed her forehead before giving her a bear hug. She smiled as she reciprocated it. 

" Come on! Now sleep. " She nodded and placed her head on my lap.

Soon she dozed off while I was busy stroking her hair.

" Ding "

While I was caressing the hair of my sleeping beauty I heard some sound from outside but when I tried to move Avery held my waist tightly and snuggled more into me. So, I just shrugged it and soon too dozed off beside her sitting in half laying position unaware of the storm coming in our lives.
