Chapter 56: Chapter 56

Constance's point of view:

We rushed to the hospital. When we arrived at the private ward, I saw the rest of the family. Victor was also there. The female members of the family are already crying. Ryan and Kevin just stood at a corner, I'm sure they were hurt by what happened just like Jace but they held their tears.

Well, my fragile heart couldn't hold back the tears that fell off my eyes. I had been crying throughout the drive to the hospital. My husband was trying to calm me down, he said that nothing will happen to grandfather. Victor said that he's in the operation room and the doctors gave their word that they are going to save him. But still I wasn't at peace, my heart was still racing. I will only believe that grandfather is okay until I see him with his eyes open and staring at me.

My husband was shocked when Victor told him about grandfather's accident. It took him some seconds before he could speak again. The tension and the fear I sensed in him showed me how much he loves his grandfather. He was just being a hothead grandson but he still loved his grandfather so much.

When he told me what Victor said to him through the phone. I was greatly shocked, I couldn't even move. My mind quickly went to how I lost my parents. I lost two people that I love so much and I don't want to lose my grandfather too.

Hearing the news of grandfather's accident, we both forgot how aroused we were and how we needed sex at that moment. What we did is to put on our clothes and quickly rush out of the room, heading straight to the hospital.

“What happened to him, Victor?" My husband asked Victor. Victor didn't clarify things to him through the phone. Well, my husband was shocked and didn't know when he cut the call.

“I don't actually know what happened to him, I mean how he got into the accident. I came to the mansion and saw the family's members rushing out in a hurry. I asked and it was said that Mr. Williams had an accident." Victor replied.

“Father went to have a cool time with his friends. He spent a long time with them and when he was returning with his driver, they had an accident. I just don't know how that happened. The driver said that the brakes stopped working and that caused the accident. Oh! Father, he was badly injured unlike the driver." Ryan's mother cried.

I froze. Badly injured? I'm so scared right now. I wonder what I will do if grandfather doesn't survive. Please grandfather, you need to stay alive… please.

I saw my husband clenched his fist. He looks so angry. I think he's thinking the same way as me. Why do I feel that the accident grandfather had is not coincidentally. It looks like it was planned. The driver said that the brakes stopped working which means that someone did something to the brakes. Someone purposely tried to kill grandfather. Who could it be? I know that the Williams have a lot of enemies due to their business but why should someone want to kill an innocent old man.

My husband didn't say anything, just like the rest of the grandsons, he's quiet but his face showed that he's burning in anger. I'm sure that if he finds out who tried to kill grandfather, he won't spare the person.

After some minutes of everyone panicking and dwelling in their thoughts, the red light of the operation room went off and the doctor walked out after some seconds. Everyone was eager to hear from him. He took a deep breath before speaking. Gosh! That action of him and the look on his face is making me fearful. Why is he acting as if grandfather didn't survive the operation?

“Doctor, what the fuck! Can you speak already!" My husband was impatient. I am too, I think everyone is. The doctor's silence is increasing our anxiety.

“We tried our best but…"

“But what? Huh? What happened!" Is my time to become impatient and at the same time filled with fear. My husband held my hand to make me calm down so that the doctor would speak. My body is already shaking, I don't know what I will do if anything happens to my grandfather.

“We did our best to save him and he was saved but in critical condition. I can't say that he's fully saved. He's in a coma and there's only a ten percent chance that he will be alive," the doctor replied.

“What do you mean ten percent? You said he was saved so what the fuck are you talking about? Ryan's mother rant.

“Doctor, you must do everything to save our grandfather. You cannot just tell us he's saved and the next second, you are saying that he only has a ten percent chance of living. What kind of a doctor are you? Just tell me that my grandfather is alright, that he will wake up very soon!" I snapped. Tears are rushing speedily down my cheeks.

I'm already breaking. This doctor's news didn't help at all. Grandfather is in coma and he has only a ten percent chance of living. What the heck is that! This is not a good news for Christ's sake!

My husband drew me closer to himself and hugged me. I'm already crying profusely and my body is shocking repulsively. I want to have faith that my grandfather will survive but I couldn't help the fear in my heart. This was the same way I had faith that my parents will live but in the end they died. I haven't gotten over their death and I don't want to lose another person I love.

“Baby, grandfather will live. He's a strong man, he will fight this and he will surely win," my husband whispered in my ear.

….

It's already been two weeks and grandfather is still in coma. I would spend most of my days in the hospital and I'm glad we are on holiday so I won't go to school and I will have enough time to take care of my grandfather. Jocelyn always comes to help me out. Ryan's mother comes too. I noticed that she's the only one, including my husband and I, who are most affected by grandfather's situation. Others seem so calm. Melinda and her mother in-law hardly visit Grandfather; I mean they don't visit at all, the same goes to Ryan and Kevin. I can't believe that kind of stone heart they have. Grandfather is their family and they are acting as if they don't care about the situation he's in. Though Ryan visited a few times.

I couldn't tell Hannah what happened to grandfather, I just don't want her to worry. She told me she's trying her best to forget her past and move on and she's succeeding. The only things she needs at this moment to achieve forgetting her past are things that will make her happy and not things that will make her sad. I know how much Hannah loves grandfather. Her heart will be broken into pieces if she learns what happened to him. She will also have to come here and then she will meet Ryan who will only bring back the memories she has been trying to forget.

I really want to keep things this way but I think I shouldn't. I believe it's right that Hannah knows what happened to grandfather. Even if she wouldn't come back to the States, she should at least know. She has the right to know because grandfather is also a huge part of her life. Grandfather is her family, she loves him and deserves to know whatever happens to him. I will tell her about what happened to Grandfather later tonight. Besides, she won't run away from meeting Ryan. She will definitely meet him one day. She said that she's going to be at my birthday party, that means she will meet Ryan. Though she said she's not yet sure if she will come to my birthday party, she's just hoping that her heart will be fully healed from what Ryan did to her before that time comes.

Ryan's mother had changed towards me. Both of us are taking care of grandfather together and she's no longer cold towards me, rather she's acting nice.

My husband has been working with the police to find the culprit behind grandfather's accident. He still believes that it wasn't an ordinary accident, it was carefully planned and he just wanted to find out who was behind the accident. I was in support of him. Anyone that did this to grandfather must pay.

Today, I was with grandfather. Ryan's mother had stepped out for a while. Ryan's mother told me that she's really grateful to grandfather and that's why she doesn't want him to die. Grandfather did a lot for her in the past. Grandfather was the one that saved her marriage when it nearly crashed. A woman came into her marriage and wanted to take Ryan's father away. The woman nearly succeeded. Ryan's father changed and became violence, he even wanted to divorce her but grandfather was there for her. He helped her fight until she saved her marriage. I think this explains why she's so scared to see anything happen to grandfather.

She also said that grandfather did a lot of good things for her that she can never forget. She said that grandfather is a good person and I believed her. Grandfather is someone that has a good heart. He doesn't deserve to die this way. No, he won't die. He's going to live for us.

The door of the private ward clicked open and my husband walked in.

“Baby." He pecked my lips. I smile at him.

“How's grandfather?"

“He's doing well, I just can't wait for him to wake up."

“Baby, grandfather will wake up, nothing will happen to him okay. I bought you some food." He walked and placed the packaged food on the table in the room.

“Thank you honey." I said and stood as I walked towards him. I took my seat opposite him. “How's the investigation about grandfather's accident going?"

“The police are not making any progress so I asked my personal investigator. I told him to investigate every member of my family, I don't trust those people," he replied.

I sigh. I don't trust them either. They feel so relaxed about grandfather's situation but if they have anything to do with grandfather's accident, I will be forced to believe that they are nothing but living devils. Grandfather has been good to them, he loves them and treats everyone equally. If they wish him death that means they are wicked.

I was about speaking up but was disrupted by the ringing of my husband's phone. He picked up the call and I waited for him to be through.

After ending the call, he looked at me. “My personal investigator has found out the culprit."
