Chapter 33: Chapter 33

**Zion's POV**

Her lips dances gracefully on mine as she clutches the color of my shirt. She is sick and she smells chemicals and the medicines but I love the way she smells.

They particularise her and make her special.

I pull off in between our kiss and watch her with so much of affection.

"You good," I ask.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she says while I have clearly heard her saying that something pains within her.

"You said something pains and what is it?" I ask.

She doesn't speak for a while.

"Tell me Nan! Is there somewhere that you aren't feeling well?" I ask.

She smiles cups my cheek with her hand and caress it with her thumb.

"Why are you so much protective? Always?" she asks me.

"I have to be. You are one that my heart longs to have and you are the one my soul yearns to protect always," I answer her.

Her hands run through my hair and she rummage her finger in between the strands of my hair.

"You had lunch?" she asks me.

"No. How can I when you are lying on bed?" I reply? She gleams in short smile and holds my hands in hers.

"You know what have I thought when I was breathing heavily in lab?" she questions me.

I shake my head giving her negative response.

"If...If I get to survive this, I would hold you like you are the best amulet, I could ever have in my whole life. I am not going to resent you and forgive you for what you have done to me. I wanted to be with you. Badly," she says.

I lift my hand to hold her cheeks with them. They are soft like they are of baby. She surely hasn't taken much care about her skin. She has dark circles in her eyes but she looks amazing even with it.

I caress her at the bottom of her eyes with my thumb and kiss the back of her hands.

"You were the only one for me. I would have never wanted to leave you, if that day I haven't got the news that my parents are no more in this world. I'm sorry for being rude to you that day but I was being carried away with the emotions for my parents," I explain.

She stares at me for a while and smiles.

"It was my fault too. I claimed that I know you the best but seems like I never got to know you," she holds my hands firmly and leans her head on my chest.

"I am here. I am still here and now I will tell you everything about me. I won't keep anything from you. Tell me all of your queries I will tell everything to you," I say.

"It's fine. We have long time and we can keel them for another day. I feel kind of sleepy right now. Can you please go and get your food," she says.

"It's fine. I can get it when you are asleep. Get a rest now," I break the hug and arrange her bed and make her sleep on the bed.

"Zion, get here," she shifts away from her original position in the bed asking me to sleep right beside her.

I hold her hands and take off my shoes and lay beside her pulling her in my embrace. Her head rests on my chest and she circles her hands around my stomach.

"You might be scared today? It was my mistake that I couldn't protect you," I whisper on my own. I don't know if she is asleep or not but she seems to sleep already as she is motionless right now.

I put my one hand below my head and another hand snakes around her body. I missed this.

I missed the feeling of being together with her, the feeling of holding her safely in my arms and the feeling of trusting each other so much.

I feel as if I am revived after the death. She is definitely going to revive me, make me want to live and love my life one more time.

She would make my life colorful and I will make her mine and nothing could stop me from doing that.

After knowing that she is already asleep, I pull myself away from her and get back to the floor.

I walk out of the room and call Micheal.

"I need you to book a ticket to San Francisco as soon as possible. Check the earliest ticket I could get to reach there," I order him and he agreed to do it as soon as possible.

I sit on the bench with my hands joined with contact with my forehead. She is awake but still there lies the problems with me.

"What do you think you're doing Zion? You should be able to come up and get out all of this. You have to take her out of this," my heart shouts loudly at me.

"You are the guardian of the patient in room 202 right?" she asks me and I nod my head.

"The doctor wants to see you. He has something to discuss with you," she informs and walks away from there.

I tower up and trot towards his office. His office is quite neat and tidy and he us working on his computer. Maybe researching something.

I knock the door before I enter into his room.

"Yes, come in," he takes off the glasses that was in his eyes some moment before and puts it down on the desk in front of him.

"Are you legal guardian of the patient?" he asks me.

"I am her boyfriend," I answer firmly.

"Oh! I am glad she has someone like you who cares for her. She needs someone who could support her emotionally and physically right now," he says and I am not even shocked to know that.

"Yeah," I answer.

"It seems like you know what's wrong with her? Are you sure you know?" he confirms.

"Yes, I know and I am trying to call the best doctor for her," I say.

He sighs for a while and says," she has to cut off her mammary gland. Means she won't have her breast for all her life. As her boyfriend are you okay with it?" he asks me.

He is testing me. I knew that this is going to happen sooner or later and I was ready for this.

"Yes, doctor," I say.

"She wouldn't be able to feed milk to her baby even after she gives birth to her child?" he asks me one more time.

Even if she gives birth to a child, a child will be gift to us and I will treasure her as much as I treasure the child.

"I know doctor," I answer.

"She won't be able to give you the pleasure during your intricacies all your life. Are you alright with it?" he asks.

I nod my head.

"Ask her if she wants surgery. I know the best doctor who can operate on her. He is currently at San Francisco," he says.

"Is it doctor Rivera?" I ask.

"You know him?" he asks.

"I searched him on the internet. I would be glad if you could connect me to him," I say.

"He's my son and the best doctor for breast surgeries. I will talk with him," he says.
