"I want to see him." I spoke, looking at Nathan. I know only he can understand what I am feeling right now.
"He is not here. He needed the best medical treatment as soon as possible, and most of the equipment here was busy as your health wasn't in great condition, so we shifted him back to New York," He replied.
"So, when can I see him?" I asked.
As soon as you feel better" He replied.
"I am fine. Let's go." I try to get up, but again, a sharp pain shoots up in my lower abdomen.
"Sarah, what are you doing?" Everyone gasped, and I heard the stern voice of Alvera. She gently pushed me back.
"You just had a C-section, and your stitches are still fresh. You can't jump around as per your liking." She scolded me, and I looked at her surprisingly
She helped me arrange my quilt. And I again looked at Nathan with hopeful eyes, who had a stern expression on his face and nothing else. And now he is not interested in helping me anyway.
Tears pool in my eyes, and I look down helplessly.
"Nora turned the camera to Sean." I look up with teary eyes, hearing Sam's voice.
She gives me her phone with a small smile, and I look down at the screen. I patted my eyes a few times to clear my vision so I could see him.
And then, finally, I saw him.
He was lying on the bed. An oxygen mask was on his face, which was hiding his beautiful face, as I could see.
I noticed how few different types of equipment were attached near his bed, and the beeping sound was the only sound I could hear.
The room's lights were too dim for my liking, and that reminded me that he doesn't like darkness. He likes brightness.
"Nora, please open the curtains." I spoke while looking at him.
Though he is lying there, his charm has not gone down. Not even a bit.
I notice how the room lights up in no time and the sun's rays shine face-to-face.
He looked alluring.
"Don't close the curtains unless it's night time"
He doesn't like it.
Though he never told me this, I have always observed small things about him.
How he enjoys non-spicy food.
He always likes lighter shades in his clothes.
He is a cleanliness freak.
He treats people equally, whether it's just a maid or housekeeper.
He is a great father.
And he has proven he is a fabulous husband.
I could see how his chest was slowly rising and falling ,and that reminded me of how I used to take support when I was not comfortable in my last trimester.
When I could not sleep due to weight.
When I used to feel uneasy, this chest was always there to give me the warmth I needed.
But look at me. My whole life, I have had my destiny. I have been starving for love, but everything I wanted was in front of me, but I never noticed. How idiotic can I be?
Not only mine, but I put so many lives at stake because of my stupidity.
Shame is the only emotion I am feeling right now.
When I have everything, I feel like I don't deserve it.
"We will go the day after if you feel better by then to see him." I come out of my thoughts after hearing Sam's voice.
I nodded to her. I gave her the phone back after a good few minutes. I stared at Sean more.
"I am sorry." I held her phone tightly while she was taking it from my hand.
Her hands stopped when I did not lose my grip on the phone.
"You don't have to." She replies with a small smile, but it does not reach her eyes.
"Why?" I asked a simple question, and I know she has all my answers.
Though I know bits and pieces, I want to know everything.
She started, and when she ended the story, tears were flowing from my eyes like never before.
I know she must be hurt. Until now, I was too selfish. I was just thinking about myself. I never try to see the other side of the coin. Till now, I was under the delusion that she had broken my heart and trust, but it was all the way around. I was the one who broke her trust. I was the one who did not trust my year-old friends and family.
I should've thought She can't do that with me, but I never did, sadly.
Tears rolled down my face while I thought about all she had done for me.
I wanted to sob so hard.
"I am sorry." That's all I could say.
Guilt has completely clouded my thoughts, and I can't even look into anyone's eyes in this room.
"Let's just forget about this and pretend it never happened." I heard Eric's voice.
"By the way, thanks to Mr .Luca, your manager. Because if he had not brought the cops, or, let's say, an army of cops, we wouldn't be alive by now" He spoke, rolling his eyes, and I felt even more guilty.
"By the way, I can see you are someone very important for our government haan?" He smirks, looking at me.
'Well, honestly, it's nothing like it. It's just that he is too generous.' I thought.
'But I am grateful for Mr .Luca. I have been informed that I want to leave here. He had prepared everything for me as well. He was my Plan B.
But the moment I heard my father's voice, I messaged him. My life was in danger; hence, he came to help me, as I had already sent my location previously, so finding me wasn't an issue for him, I guess.
I looked at Eric. His look was, as always, stoic and scary, but somehow today he was trying not to scare anyone. He looked a little better than usual, and he tried to smile, which must be a difficult job for him, as I hardly saw him smiling.
He walked to the table and poured a glass of water for me, but he flinched a little when, by mistake, his one hand touched the other. And that explains how much pain he might be in.
"Didn't the doctor ask you to stay at the hospital for two more days?"Alvera asked while taking the glass from his hand and glaring at him.
I looked at her in surprise, as did everyone else in the room. Her change of personality has shocked me somewhere.
But I can see she was worried about Eric, which she was carefully hiding behind her mocking tone.
"Were you keeping your tabs on me, princess?" Eric flirted with her, and that was even more surprising for me.
So far, I have seen him as a cold and composed person, and this funny and flirty side is all new to me.
I guess it's only for Alvera.
She suddenly looked everywhere, but he and I cleared our throats when he took a few steps toward her.
I mean, I am not in the mood to see any PDA right now.
"Ahmm, can you call the doctor, please?" I asked, looking at them.
"Right away" Alvera ran for her life, and I smiled, looking at her, but did not say anything.
I shall see you all in a bit." Without looking at us, Erick follows her, and Sam scoffs while rolling her eyes.
"How are you feeling, Mrs .Hudson?" The doctor came in some time later and spoke while looking at me.
"I am fine. When can I walk? I want to see my husband." I come to the point instantly.
Mam, in a day or two, you should be able to walk." He replied, and I nodded.
Just by thinking about Sean, my mood again dropped, and worries had taken over my entire thought process.
The doctor and Nathan were talking, but my eyes were stuck on the ceiling.
I wanted to call back to Nora and have a look at him again, but I knew I had just done it and I should not bother Nora like this, so I held myself back for something, but I have made up my mind to call him sometime again.
