Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Third Person’s POV

.

“Is there any family member of this homeless begg..”, The doctor was cut in the between by Sophia when he was about to call Brandon a ‘BEGGAR.’

“He is my ex-husband.”, Her words were laced with anger, and she glared at him.

“Oh! I’m sorry, Ms. Weasley.”, The doctor apologies. “We were just asking that question for the formalities.”

“We will handle the formalities, doctor. Please check on the patient and let us know what is wrong with him.”, Eden said, sensing the pissed mood of Sophia.

Once the doctor left, Eden pulled Sophia into a hug to divert her mind. “Calm down, Sophia. He just misunderstood Brandon as …. Umm, someone else.”

“I can’t see… him in.. this state, Eden.”, She started crying, wrapping her hand around Eden. “Please do … something.”

“What can I do, Sophia? I’m a werewolf, not a magician.”, Eden joked and then hissed in pain when Sophia stomped her heels on her feet. “Oouchh… that hurts!!”, She complained, on which Sophia cried and laughed at the same time.

“Excuse me!!” A nurse gained their attention, and they looked at her. “These are the belongings of the patient which were in his clothes,” She said, handing over a card, phone, and some cash.

“Thank you!!” Eden took those from the Nurse’s hand.

“Can you please tell me what is wrong with Brandon?” Sophia asked in a low tone, scared with the thought that what if .... what if something major disease would be traced then? Her mind was filled with all types of negative thoughts from the moment Eden told her that Brandon was now a heavy drinker.

She had seen a lot of people dying from the consumption of a lot of Alcohol.

"I'm not sure, but I think one of his kidneys has stopped working.", Nurse replied, on which Sophia took a few steps backward. "Well, this is not confirmed yet. But there is a high chance that this can be the reason. As for now, we have taken a sample of his blood to estimate GFR (glomerular filtration rate), and once he awakes, we will have to take the sample of his urine to estimate ACR (albumin-to-creatinine ratio). Please, excuse me now.", Saying this, the Nurse walked away.

Eden turned around to check on Sophia and found her crying bitterly. Eden had seen her sad all these sad at the thought of her Ex-husband and past memories. She hardly used to cry non-stop.

“Sophia…” Eden didn’t know what to say. Her situation wouldn’t have been different than her if Arya would have been there instead of Brandon.

At the same time, Brandon’s phone rang; Eden looked at it before speaking, “Some Bruce is calling. Do you know this guy?”

Sophia nodded before swiping the phone. She controlled herself from not crying while talking to him but failed badly. Thankful, he didn’t ask anything and was coming here.

And when he would be here, she would get to know what had happened in all these years that had changed so much like if he was north pole previously then now he was the south pole.

At that time, Eden remembered that she had forgotten to share all these things with Arya, so she mind linked her.

‘Hey babe, you won’t believe what happened today.’, Eden said

‘If you won’t believe what happened here!’ Arya responded.

‘What? What happened? Are our pups fine?’ Eden asked in tension.

‘Yeah! They are fine, but approx half an hour before ______” Arya narrated everything that happened.

‘So, you are coming over here with pups!’

‘Well, I didn’t have any choice. Both wanted to come after hearing her mother’s crying voice, and then they related it to Brandon’s sickness.’, Arya replied. ‘Now, you tell me how did you meet Brandon and how the hell everyone landed in the hospital?’

Now, this was Eden’s turn to explain everything to Arya.

‘Is Sophia okay?’

‘No. I haven’t seen her like this before. She is crying like Calvin, who doesn’t listen to anyone whenever he cries.’

‘So, what do you think? How will she react to seeing all of us there? What if she didn’t want the pups to meet their father?’ Arya asked in tension.

‘Whatever will happen, I will take responsibility for everything about that card incident in case that topic will be raised.’ Eden replied, ‘Come here soon, babe! Love you.’

‘Love you too, mate.’

****

After half an hour!!

When Sophia’s gaze landed on Bruce, she got the second shock of the day because he was carrying both her kids. She couldn’t understand how the hell he reached near them. She forgot to cry seeing them. If they were her strength, then they were her weakness too. And she knew if she could cry in front of them, they would cry a lot more than her.

“Mom! Mom!”, They both forwarded their hands toward her, and Sophia took them in her arms one by one carefully. It wasn’t that they were not heavy; it was just she was habitual of picking both of them at the same time.

“We are here for you, Mom. You don’t have to cry NOW.”, Calvin said, wiping her tears.

“Yes! We heard you crying over the call and came quickly near you because we are your strength, right?” Colton asked.

“Hmm!!”, Sophia nodded. She couldn’t speak a word because all of a sudden, she felt a lump in the thought. And there, everyone thought that they were here for their father. A part of them was her for their father, but what worried them the most was their mom was crying like a baby.

Whenever they used to get hurt and cry for no matter how long, she was always there for them to console them till they returned back to normal.
