“Hhmmmmkkkkppppl” Lyn vomit upon reaching the sink. She is in the Palace with Felisa when she feels nauseated and ran to the nearest bathroom. They are having tea while watching a Turkish drama when it happened. Lyn feels a warm hand caresses her back when finished vomiting. She washes her face before turning back and hugging Felisa not minding getting her wet.
“I'm tired of this morning sickness Aunt. I hate the taste and feeling.” Lyn complains while tears are flowing in her eyes like a flood, nonstop. Her knees are shaking and can't stop properly. Felisa feels the strength in her body, surely, Lyn is exhausted after vomiting. She experience it before when she is pregnant with Catherine.
Felisa helps Lyn to stand on her own and to walk toward the couch before letting her sit down.
“Can you bring a glass of water here?” Felisa asks but it is an order to the maid near them that it follows.
“Are you okay dear?” Lyn shook her head in response before leaning on the couch. She gasp for air while panting until her lips start to turn to dry and she began to sweat heavily. It begins for her to stifle.
“Owww gosh, what is happening to you dear? How are you feeling? Tell me please.” Felisa panicked and held Lyn in her hands.
“Here is the water Ma- What is happening Madam?” the maid came with a glass of water in her hands but was shocked at what she see.
“I don't know. Call for an ambulance! Be quick!” Felisa shouted out of her panic. She wants to say sorry but how? Lyn's life is more important than that apology. She can say it later. The maid immediately calls 911.
“She is lacking oxygen Madam.” one of the butlers said when they come closer to them. He is a nurse before but didn't pass the board exam three times. Felisa glared at the butler who speak with a questioning look by her stares. The butler comes closer and checks her heartbeat before saying,
“Her heartbeat is not normal and it is not good for a pregnant woman. The baby will lack oxygen too.”
The ambulance came just after five minutes and took Lyn to the near hospital which is their hospital. Lyn lost consciousness just after the maid come from the kitchen. Her body didn't take long to wake when she lack oxygen.
‘Not now, please. Please save my baby.’ she thought before passing out.
The hospital received a call for an emergency so they send an ambulance immediately. The call is from 911 which calls the nearest hospital in the caller's location and that is them. A doctor and a team of nurses are waiting at the entrance of the hospital for the ambulance to come. In just a few minutes, it reaches the hospital and the patient shocks them.
‘It is their Lady Lyn, the wife of the hospital owner.’
‘What happened to her?’
“Please save her. I can't forgive myself if something happened to her.” Their eyes widen when Felisa talks. ‘Oh my gosh, the wife of the first billionaire is here too. Did they fight so that Lady Lyn pass out and need to bring her to the hospital? This is a big fight if Mr. Monteverde knows it.’ this is the thought that runs through their heads.
“Calm down ma'am, we're gonna take care of her.” the doctor said and follow the stretcher toward the ER. Felisa cries but is unable to call Ezekiel with shaking hands. She drops the phone once because of being nervous. In just two rings, Ezekiel picks it up.
“Hello Love, is there something bad that happened?” he worriedly ask knowing that Felisa will not usually call him this time if she was okay. Not before that they are abroad.
“L-Love, I-I'm i-in t-the h-hospital. L-Lyn p-pass o-out a-after v-vomiting.” Felisa stutters while saying it. Her voice was shaking out of nervousness and guilt. What is she going to do? What to tell Axiel when he knows about it? What if he will not let her be with me again? A lot of questions crossed her mind that added to her feelings.
“How? Did you pressure or stress her out? Come on, tell me, Love?” Ezekiel eagerly asks out of nervousness too. He can't live without her wife. Please not now. Felisa still crying and sniffing while answering him.
“No, we are having tea when she ran to the bathroom and vomit then after we sat on the couch, she pass out. It's normal for pregnant women because of their morning sickness but I don't know why she passes out.” Thank she didn't stutter this time or else she can't say that two sentences. She is walking back and forth outside the ER while waiting for the doctor to come out.
“Okay, calm down. I will call Axiel and tell him about it. I don't know how would he react but please be aware of its consequences, Love. We will be there soon.” he said and hung up. It is not considered as being rude because it is an emergency.
******
Axiel is having a meeting with the board when his phone rang. His hands become cold all of a sudden and he didn't know why? Is there something bad happened today? This thought makes him nervous. He glared at the caller and it was Uncle Ezekiel. Why is he calling at this hour? Without hesitating, he pick up the phone and said,
“Good morning uncle, what is it?”
“Axiel please don't think too much, okay? Your wife will be okay. -”
“Straight to the point, what happened to my wife Uncle?!” his voice suddenly tense up making the conference room silent. The reporter in front stop talking and they all glare at him.
‘Why is Boss angry?’
‘Is there anything wrong with the presentation?’ those questions in their mind give them sweat on their foreheads. No one makes noise and even controls their breath like they are going to be fired when Axiel caught them making noise. The atmosphere becomes cold even if the aircon is just right.
“She passes out while having tea with my wife. Please let's go to the hospital and ask what happened.” Ezekiel calmly said but inside of him, he is nervous and worried about what would happen in the next minutes. Axiel ended the call and face his employees which make them look down out of scared. His face didn't change its reaction and respectfully excuse himself.
“May I excuse myself because I need to go to the hospital and check on my wife? Let's continue this meeting tomorrow and thank you for your time,” he said and leave the conference room first leaving those dumbfounded boards and some of his employees and after a minute they smile after understanding what he meant.
‘Love matters more than anything else.’
‘You will leave your work for your special one without hesitating, it proves on you're worried, scared, or any words that describe your feelings because you love that person.’
‘Because of love, a lot of things can be done just because of this one word that has four letters.’
Axiel ran towards the elevator and press the first floor when it opened. He call Lance to prepare the car in front of the lobby and wait for him and also tell him what happened. He treats Lance as his brother, not just a right hand. Thinking that Lyn has a baby inside her makes him crazy. What if they can't survive it? Two lives will leave him at the same time. He becomes paranoid about thinking of the possibilities that will happen while he is going to her.
Lance opens the door of the car when he sees him approaching them outside the company (at the entrance). Axiel hops in while Lance goes to the driver's seat and starts the engine and leaves immediately. Axiel is distressed and tells Lance to speed up. Being anxious about what would happen when they arrived there late.
“Master I'm already a hundred and fifty, I can't go any faster than these,” Lance said while keeping his eyes on the road. He is attentive, and focus on driving but has open ears for any order from his Master. He can see in Axiel's eyes being uneasy and worried about Lady Lyn and so him. Knowing that Lyn is special to Axiel and he can't live without her. Owww, that's how love manipulates and changes people. So powerful.
“Calm down Master, I know that Lady Lyn is a fighter. They are okay with the baby.” Lance added to calm him down. Axiel glared at him using the front mirror and said,
“I know but you can't blame me to be worried about it. She carrying life and I can't live without them,” he said worriedly. He messes his hair upon saying that.
After a few minutes of driving, they reach the hospital where Lyn is admitted. Axiel comes out without waiting for Lance to open the door for him. Six cars and a Van stop too in the entrance of the hospital and men in black come and surrounded Axiel. Half of them secure the surroundings and the half follow their Master in entering. Other patients and visitors are shocked at the grand entrance. They thought,
‘Is the president here?’
‘There's a lot of subordinates following their leader.’
‘Is he a mafia boss?’
‘Rich people waste their money on such many subordinates. What a money waster.’
‘Why are they here?’
‘Why they are holding guns, it is a public place?’
‘Is he the second billionaire?’
Just after Axiel comes, Ezekiel comes to the scene which makes the people shock more.
‘Why is the first billionaire here too?’
‘Such a lot of men in black outside, owww, it's scary.’
Axiel and Ezekiel's subordinates almost block the hallway of the entrance of the hospital. Also the cars they use to block the way of the ambulance too. What a scene that happens this day. Ezekiel is followed by his men and right hand upon entering. The last floor of the building is secured by Axiel's men from the organization just for their Lady Lyn.
Lyn is examined and transferred to her room before Axiel and Ezekiel reach the hospital. She is put on oxygen before her breathing is not normal. Axiel enters the room and sees her in that situation. He grips his hands and goes near her. She is like an angel, sleeping peacefully. He touches her face and places the hair on her face behind her ears.
“Axiel, dear, you're here,” Felisa said and approach him. She take a nap and didn't notice Axiel come in.
“Yes Aunt, what happened to her?” Axiel faces her while holding Lyn's free hand. The middle of the IV drip is placed on her left hand. Felisa sits properly and explains.
“We are having tea when she ran into the bathroom and vomited. I follow her and comfort her, saying that it's because of her morning sickness and it's normal for a pregnant woman. She was her face and I help her to sit on the couch. I order the maid to get her water but before the water came, she gasp for air and panted until she lost consciousness. I don't what is happening to her.”
Before Axiel could talk, the door opened. Ezekiel, a nurse, and a doctor come in. The nurse checks Lyn and stands behind them after doing her job. Ezekiel sit beside his wife and the doctor began to talk.
“Lady Lyn pass out and it's because of her heart. Yes, we have a heart transplant two years ago but her heart starts to dysfunctional. We didn't see any complications before her heart transplant but now she has. Her heart starts not to function properly and it can affect the oxygen supply in her body. Sorry about this Master.” the doctor lowered his head out of guilty. It will risk the life of Lyn, especially now that she is pregnant. She needs a lot of oxygen because she is carrying a life.
“So what we can do now?” Axiel asks without glaring at him. His eyes are fixed on Lyn. He sighs heavily and bends down to kiss her forehead.
“This is risky for Lady Lyn because she is pregnant. If she wants to continue her pregnancy, she needs to be bedridden until she gave birth. Not almost bedridden because she can walk, and go to the bathroom but she is not allowed to work because it can cause her not to breathe properly. Also, I will assure you that either she or the baby will die when she's giving birth. There is a low chance that the baby will survive if it continues, to lack oxygen. Sorry, Master but we can't do anything about this.” the doctor stated.
“What if we do surgery again? We will find a heart donor for her. We can help with that.” Ezekiel suggests but the doctor shook his head and said,
“It isn't possible. It is risky to do it again. It has a high possibility that her body wouldn't accept the heart. Other patients in her situation didn't survive at all when they insist to do another surgery. We can have another surgery to support the heart but not to change it again.”
“Ohhh my gosh, ohhh dear.” Felisa cried more and murmur it. She cries on her husband's chest. Axiel can't take it and tears fall into his eyes. He said sadly,
“She will not agree to get rid of the baby. You know that. I don't want to see her longing for a child. I will discuss it with her if she is already okay. Don't tell her much about this. Just tell her that it is because of her heart. Tell me what to do and how to take care of her later. I don't want her to hear about this for now.” Axiel said finally to end the topic.
He is afraid for Lyn to hear it when she got conscious. It will cause her to panic and it is not good for her. He didn't want to take the risk. It may have a solution and he will find it even if he will get doctors abroad just to take care of her. Money is not a problem of form when it comes to saving a life.
“Okay Master, I will take my leave for now.” the doctor said and leave the room. Axiel's order is clear as water. He understands what their Master feels right now, especially since it is their first child and Lyn is very special to him, his life.
“How come she has a heart problem Axiel? Did she inherit that sickness?” Ezekiel asks while coaxing his wife that is crying into his chest.
“Yes, she inherits it but we don't know whom. We didn't have a heart transplant and it goes fine but I don't know why it comes out now when she is pregnant. I want her to feel happy and live what she wants. She suffered a lot before and I want to make the opposite now, but how that is suffering until now.” his words mean a lot and it shows how important Lyn is to him. Axiel wipes his tears and kisses her hand full of love. Sadness is all over his eyes. Lyn is pitiful. She is young for such suffering.
“I will contact an agency of famous doctors abroad to find a solution for her illness as soon as possible. I'm willing to help you with this situation, she is like a child to us now. My wife will be sad if there's something bad happens to her. She is old and I want her to be happy for the rest of her life.” Ezekiel said while combing the hair of Felisa that already sleeping by his hand. Maybe it is because she is tired of crying so she needs to rest.
“Thank you for that Uncle.” Axiel thank Ezekiel for his willing full help and concern.
Lyn opens her eyes and the white ceiling greets her. Her whole body is aching and she feels lifeless, so tired and dizzy. She roams her eyes around and it stops on her side, there, she sees Axiel sleeping, leaning his head on her bed while holding her free arm. It touches her heart what she sees after waking up. It's a heartbreaking scene, his husband is at her side sleeping and waiting for her to wake up. She wants to stop time and glare at his perfect and handsome face all the time.
‘How did she meet this man?’
‘When is there the first meet-up?’
‘Why did she say yes when he asked her to become his girlfriend before? And even when he proposed?’
‘Why she is attracted to him? Did he enchant her to be with him?’
‘What did she do to deserve all that she experiences now?’
‘Why does this man in front of her cherish her like a treasure?’
All she is sure is that she is blessed to have him. She will not achieve what she has now if it isn't because of him. The only man she love before until now. Her life, her everything. She can't ask for anything else for now. Being content with what she has with a loving man she loves. Their love story is like a fairy tale, it starts in the worst but it ends up happy, that is the important thing. She learns that love is a big weapon, a shield, to hold on to, to sacrifice with and it has a big effect on our lives, on our everyday life.
