"Doctor, how's he?" Sanaya trotted towards the doctor as soon he came out of the OT.
"Ahh, you are..."
"She is Mr. Davis's wife." Upon Kyle announcing so, the doctor immediately contended, "Mr. Davis is out of danger now. But we can't guarantee anything... I mean his condition is not stable yet."
Mona and Danielle both spared each other a glint as they were shocked to know that Sanaya was Nicolas Davis's wife. Things turned out surprisingly sophisticated.
"What..."
"He's still unconscious."
"When will he wake up?"
"Well, we can't say when he will wake up. He has lost a lot of blood and his body is very weak now. If he would... If he would come a little late, then we wouldn't be able to save him."
Sanaya peeked inside the room while hearing what the doctor said. Her heart was agonizing, she glimpsed at Nick while letting out drops of tears from her eyes. Seeing her crying, the doctor gaped at Kyle when he gestured at him, telling him to leave right away. When nothing appeared abnormal, Mona felt something was strange, she observed how the doctor didn't say anymore and left from there as if he was in a hurry.
"Sanaya sis..." All of a sudden Sanaya knock over on the floor, weeping. She couldn't help but cried silently when Mona caressed her shoulder and tried to console her.

"Boss, bad news. Police are investigating the case of Mr. Nicolas's accident. They got a lead of the accident."
The middle-aged man who was admiring the night view threw a magazine toward the man who happened to be his man who worked for him all these years. He got up and stepped towards them. "You bunch of sh*ts! Not only did you guys miss the target but you let the police get involved. The media has made such a fuss about his accident, do you think the police will not investigate who tried killing him?"
All the men crouched immediately before the man. They knew this time they would be retaliated for sure, their boss was a nice person but not when they missed the one last chance he gave them even.
"Please give me another chance, Boss. We will not make another mistake, please give me some time..."
"Another chance... Do you think you deserve it? I told you to kill that b@stard, you have tried several times but always failed. Today, he should have died but you guys even missed it. Now that police got involved, do you think we can try again?" The middle-aged man threw his stick toward them angrily.
"I have solid news that he is still in the hospital. If you give me another chance, one last chance I mean it. Then I will complete the task with my own hand. Please trust me, I will kill him without leaving any trace behind." The leader of the gangsta group always finished his task perfectly except for this one. For so many years he had failed to kill Nick, all he could do was to hurt him a little but in exchange, his people got more hurt, and some even died. He knew that killing him was not easy and every time, he got defeated by him has made him more inferred in killing him.
"One last chance. Remember, I Yehan Davis, will no longer give you any more chances in this life, you will no longer get any help from me or get my support the moment you fail to kill him. This is your only last chance, if you fail tonight too then your family will pay for your downfall. And you know that I never go back on my words." With his last words, he left the place. Only the men were standing there, left with nothing but what could change their lives. Tonight was gonna decide if they were to live their lives or die.
Back to the hospital
"Sis, then we are leaving. Please take care of yourself. And don't worry, Mr. Davis will surely be fine. Everything will be ok." Mona left with Danielle. It was 11 at the night. They didn't want to leave her alone though but Kyle and Aiden were there.
"Mrs. Davis..." Aiden proclaimed.
Sanaya was seated next to the bed while holding his hand between both her hands. Not getting any answer from her, Kyle called her. "Mrs. Davis, it's getting late. Why don't you take some rest, I will drive you home..."
"I will stay here." She stated.
Kyle and Aiden both were still standing, they were looking at each other and telling something to each other through hand and eye gestures.
"You didn't have dinner, how about going to the mansion and having dinner first..." Kyle implied when Aiden added, "Yes, Mrs. Davis. You can have...."
Cutting both off them she added at the end of the line, "...I don't have any appetite. I will stay here and take care of him. You two should go and take some rest."
"But Mrs. Davis, Mr. Davis won't be happy to know that you are skipping dinner. When he wakes up, he will..."
"Don't tell him then."
"...Then we will be outside. If there's anything you need then please tell us right away."
Both Kyle and Aiden strolled out of the room telling her anything was not gonna work anyway. At the outside of the room, guards were guarding the door. The floor seemed to be filled with people, some in random clothes, some like patients' relatives, and some like patients themselves. All here and there, wandering around with nurses or their people. Everything seemed like a day-to-day scenario.
"What to do now? It's dangerous for Mrs. Davis to stay here. We can't let her get involved, Mr. Davis told us not to let her know. Since she's here now, we can't just tell her to go back." Kyle crouched on the bench frustratedly. He was afraid of this happening and now, it was outta control.
"We can't do anything. Let her stay here, we will protect her. Let's keep it a secret, we must not tell him when he wakes up that Mrs. Davis was here the whole time." Aiden sniffed the fresh air when he looked around. Nobody seemed to be a skeptical person yet.
The night was getting deeper, time was passing by. The guards protecting the door were still guarding the door and Kyle, and Aiden was not on that floor. In all the rooms on that floor, there was no patient inside but it was just a show. Guards were standing like they were normal guards.
"... There's a girl. She is stupid, she ran away from her home not to get married and live her life differently..." Inside the room, Sanaya was squatting by the bed. Taking Nick's hand between her hands she kept her face touched with her hands when telling him a story. Clasping his hand was giving her strength. She let out a deep sigh and then continued staring at him. "... You know what happened later? She got married to a guy. She fell in love with him after marriage or maybe... She fell for him long ago, even before realizing her feelings for him. But soon they started walking apart... One year later, she left him and she thought she would take her revenge on him for... Is it true that it was her one-sided love? Did he never love her?... "
He was still not waking up, she continued telling him the story. "You know what happened later?... Later, she got to understand that she can never hurt him. She loves him too much, you know... When she saw the news of him having an accident, her world broke apart. She so badly wanted to hug him, she wished she could stay with him at that time so nothing would happen to him, she regretted acting all foolish when she could love him more... Nick, I want to hear your voice so badly, I want to see you get up and talk to me. I love you, I love you more than my life. I can't see you in pain, you know seeing you lying on this bed unconscious and knowing how much pain you are in.... it aches my hurt. I really wished I was there with you and the one getting in the accident could be me... Can't you wake up? Please wake up for me. No, you don't have to speak, just open your eyes and look at me. Please can you..."
Tears started dimming her views, unable to see anything Sanaya covered her eyes with one hand while still holding his hand with her other hand.
When she was still crying, suddenly she felt a warm hand caressing her hair. Surprised, she quickly looked up and...
