CHAPTER 112

CHAPTER 112
"You don't get it, do you? You can't provide me with anything so I'd rather not waste my hate on you but being around you does enough damage to my sister. You have a lot of enemies and that alone endanger my sister. For goodness' sake, your own family doesn't even like her. You profess to love her and yet can't even protect her!"
The last I knew, love is not selfish. The moment you know that your presence in her life is dangerous for her then you should just leave her alone!
"Please stop all these, Gabe! Bonnie wouldn't like all of these!" Megan's voice echoed as she separated both men.
"No!" O'Shea shook his head. "I'm going to reason with her when I see her. This fellow over here is bad luck, I'm telling you! He needs to get outta here and return to his homeland."
"You can't tell me what to do! Bonnie is my woman and I have the right to be here."
"Get outta here now, before I call security!"
Come on, Gabe, this isn't the time for that. Your niece or nephew and your sister are in there fighting for their lives and here you are causing a scene. If that's not a misplaced priority then I don't know what to say."
O'Shea didn't listen to his woman and glared at J'onn for quite a while after which he stormed out of the reception.
"Sorry for his tantrum. I'm Megan." She had identified herself and after duly inspecting her, J'onn saw streaked tears on her cheeks.
"I'm J'onn, thanks for defending yourself."
No problem. I was thrilled when Bonnie told me you and Melissa had made up. I would have called you if I had your direct contact but managed to persuade O'Shea to report to Gracie knowing that Gracie was going to speak with you if you were there with Melissa. I'm glad you're here.".
"Thanks for keeping me in mind but what's happening? Any word from the doctor?"
"Not a word yet. We are still waiting for him to arrive and inform us about what is happening. But the police officers just left. It wasn't an accident, J'onn. She was ambushed."
J'onn let out a sigh, harshly stroking his hair.
"They were able to apprehend the truck driver before he was able to get away. Hopefully, he will come clean soon and everything will be alright,"
J'onn sighed as a way of holding the tears back in his eyes. "If something happens to Bonnie or the baby, I would never forgive myself, and I don't think she's going to forgive me either."
It will be so hurtful if anything were to occur to either of them but let's not lose hope.
And as much as I hate to admit it, I think O'Shea has a point. I know that he does not hate you, he is just furious because he is looking out for his Sister's welfare. But he has a point in the fact that you do have quite a few enemies. I need you for Bonnie because she really loves you but you also have to do all that is necessary to protect her.
"I will, I promise. The only thing I regret is that I did not do this earlier." He was crying and spoke in a sobbing voice, brushing away tears from the corner of his eyes.
"It is fine, let us be positive. The doctor should attend to us soon." J'onn concurred.
Megan went back to where she was sitting as J'onn kept walking up and down the waiting room, his hands buried in his pocket, making vain words of prayer.
O'Shea came back eventually, goodness gracious he didn't throw a tantrum but came back and sat with Megan and gave piercing stares at J'onn who hardly even saw him.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doctor came out of the ward and the three approached him.
"How are they, Doc?" J'onn inquired with an awful sorrowful heart, as he was the first one to reach him.
"Miss Bonnie is fine, though very weak but will be just fine once she has rested enough."
"How is the baby?" J'onn asked again, reaching Megan first. "Yeah, that is why we took longer time to tend to her."
"The baby is a fighter. He or she is fine too."
J'onn shamefully burst into tears of joy at the Doctor's response. Megan cried as well but O'Shea had a straightforward expression.
"I think congratulations are in order with that but sorry for the accident. Miss Bonnie has incurred some injuries and might need a little help getting about at the moment but she will be alright after having plenty of bedrest."
"Thanks, Doc. We're going to take good care of her." J'onn responded as O'Shea frowned.
"Can we see her, please?" Megan asked.
"Apparently not because she needs plenty of rest for now to recover but she asked that she visit one person."
"Sure, I'm her brother. I'm the only relative she has. I'll go see her."
"Are you J'onn?" The doctor asked.
No, he's not, Doc. This is J'onn." Megan cheerfully corrected, pointing to J'onn.
"Oh, then I apologize you can't come in." The doctor informed O'Shea who stared in horror.
"Come with me, please," The doctor signaled to J'onn.
Before J'onn would be able to take action further in order to chase after the Doctor, Megan approached him. "I know you would but I am going to say it anyway. Take good care of Bonnie and give all my love to her."
I know that we would not be allowed in there tonight but never mind because she and the baby are fine and you will be with her but I will be back here tomorrow morning to check that you both are fine. And don't you worry about Melissa, I will see her tonight before I head home.
Please give lots of kisses to Bonnie and let her know that I wish her a speedy recovery."
"I will. Thank you." J'onn responded sincerely, surprised she was being so pleasant to him though O'Shea otherwise wasn't. Megan smiled at him then led the Doctor to the ward Bonnie was on.
The moment J'onn and the Doctor were out of sight, Megan gradually moved towards the love of her life.
"Don't get any closer to me!" He stated with a strong voice while staring at her furiously at once.
Megan did not mind. She inched closer towards O'Shea, his arms folded so she brushed against them.
"You know I am not going to let you push me away so you better forgive me."
