Chapter 146: Chapter 146
Larry is talking on the phone with his mother, Daniella is getting worried, not hearing from Lauren for more than a year.
Mom, he is fine, he is just busy.
Busy doing what? He left the company and not a phone call.
Mother, he is fine, I will tell him, you are worried, so he could place a call to you.
Why not...
You should know that son of yours, he get irritated sometimes.
Fine, I will wait for his call. As soon as the line die off, his phone buzzed with message making the screen light comes up, he was surprised and excited at the same time, he grabbed his stuff.
Sir! Is there anything the issue. Stone had practically been serving him since Lauren is in comatose.
Hospital, we need to be there, right now.
Stone didn't asked another question, Larry look at the message again.
"He is awake" -president Daniel
Larry smiled, he just wanted to get there fast, in few minutes, he is inside a private ward nursing room
Easy, don't stress yourself, take it slow, the room is dark, you can open your eyes now. The doctor said as he try to raise him abit from the bed to rest his back and support his neck.
Lauren slowly open his eyes, he haven't seen light for more a year now and his back ache, he used his hand to run on his face.
His entire body felt all the pain, his throat is dry, he is not able to process any single word, he close his eyes again, he had fallen into another sleep
Hey, what happened to him?
President Daniel, he just wake up after so many months of sleeping, you don't expect everything to go back to normal.
I don't care, how you do it? But I want him to be out of coma for good, even if it takes you to give him your breath.
Dad!
Don't dad me, I don't know how he do it but he should.
Don't worry sir, everything, will be fine, I just want everyone of his love ones to be here, when he wakes up again, I am sure that he will help him heal fast.
I don't think so.
Larry is not paying attention to whatever president Daniel had to say, his happiness is that Lauren is without those respiratory assistance that was usually attached to him. He is lying peacefully on the bed. The doctor and two nurse are attending to him.
So he can breath on his own now?
Larry finally asked, the doctor smiled at him.
Yes, he can. It was a bit painful for him, so we decided to inject him with sedative, so as to calm his sleep but don't worry, in a couple of hours he will be up.
Did he say anything?
Nope!
He haven't, I am just hope he could after he open his eyes again.
Larry look at Daniel, he haven't stop blaming Daniel for the death of Mandy, if he haven't make the order that, all doctors and nurses should attend to just Lauren, just maybe, Mandy will still be there with them.
Don't give me that look, I am sure, Lauren wouldn't want anything to do with that illegitimate child when he wakes up.
Just maybe, we should had try to keep her Alive instead of...
What for?
Dad, Lauren love her, he cared for her, she was his first love and we treated her like nothing, we never even pay the family a condolences and we keep acting like Amelia and her family are the victims
Enough! This is for the best, it's a good thing, she pass on, it will give Lauren the ability to fall in love with Amelia and forget everything about that stupid Mandy.
Dad!
Stop it, I have had enough of you and this brother of yours, Mandy is my greatest mistake but God had throw her out for good.
What are you going to tell him?
Nothing!
He deserves to know, he is...
Larry, enough of your madness and don't asked me about this again
Dad!
Larry, let me be, not a word of this to anyone, I don't even want the media to know about it.
Larry sighed! President Daniel is getting impatient, seeing that Lauren haven't wake up for the passed Six hours, he stand to look for the doctor then, Lauren slowly twitched his hand
Then his finger move up again, seeing that, the nurse rush to him, Larry too rush to him, he is eager to hear Lauren say a word, smiled at him.
He open his eyes as well but very slowly and partially, is like the light is having effect on him.
President Daniel also rush back seeing the movement of Larry and the nurse. The doctor also hurry in. Lauren scan his eyes through the room, he is very weak.
Mandy!!!
He called, Larry move his eyes to president Daniel, like asking what they are going to say, but Lauren doesn't need answer, he is back to his sleep, he had succumb to his dizziness
President Daniel move from Larry, he need to text the Cooper's that Lauren is out of comatose.
Mr Cooper is very happy to hear the news, he needed to deliver the news to Amelia, who have become more violent since she finds out that Lauren is in comatose.
Everything about her had been in halt, she doesn't go out, her social life had turned zero, the company is suffering as well.
Daughter! The most beautiful woman on the earth.
Amelia look at Cooper, she is not in the mood, she just can't respond to those praises, she is not happy.
Dad, can you stop.
Here, I bought this for you.
I don't...
You should look good, Daniel called, he said Lauren is awake, you can visit him at the hospital now.
Really? He said...
Yes, you can, he didn't agree to that for long because he didn't want people to see Lauren like that.
Oh! I better leave, I can't wait to see my love.
Amelia hurry in to dress up, Cooper smile at last, his princess could get her life back, Merlin walk slowly to him.
Don't lecture me.
I wasn't going to say a word but are you sure, that boy will want Amelia?
Yes, have you forgotten the girl he love is no more.
I haven't forgotten, but the truth is, is he ready to replace the girl?
Merlin! He raised his hand in surrender, Merlin understand that loving someone and replacing the person in your heart is the most difficult thing anyone could do.
Merlin had falling for Mandy, he didn't want to say it because Mandy heart is with Lauren, hearing of her death, had left him broken hearted, for months he couldn't leave his room none did he do anything right at the company, so he had to go on a vocation just to forget her
So he knows that feelings of wanting one particular person and he doesn't think, the person can easily be replaced.
As usual, who is he to meddle in his father's decision, in as much as he doesn't want Amelia to get more devastated, he would had prefer she forget everything about him, start her life anew, that will do her good than this madness, she called love.
