Chapter 59
"I'm fine." I'll answer right away. "Do you know where Ivan was? Why isn't he here?" I asked her what I should have asked Darlyn earlier.

My two eyes saw the masculinity of Creed's eyes. Wait, why does he seem so shocked? I'm just asking where Ivan was. What's so surprising about that?

Creed blinked and drew a deep sigh. He averted his gaze from me and I saw the redness of his neck. His jaw also moves as if he was disgusted.

Darlyn suddenly appeared in front of me so I was surprised. Shit, I just woke up but this girl startled me right away!

"Ah ... He's the one who takes care of your children, best. Bi ... He'll also visit you tomorrow so don't worry. He wants ... He really wants to visit you here but he has to take care of your children ... "Darlyn's lips trembled as she smiled at me.

One of my eyebrows rose. Nakakainis naman. I didn't even see him when my eyes were wide open. I hope he visits me because I need him here now. I still need to talk to him about other things.

"Why don't you rest again, Andrea? It's afternoon now and it's nice to sleep. The weather was also cold. You can rest for a while." Creed said reason for me to look back at him. He was no longer smiling because now he was folded.

I frowned and looked at the wall clock I had just seen. It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, then? It was as if my thirst and hunger had suddenly disappeared. It's like I just want to have dinner later.

I swallowed and nodded. "Oh, all right. I'll go to sleep first. Just keep quiet." I slowly turned away from them and covered myself with a blanket.

I winced as I felt pain in my back. I didn't imagine that I will get shot like this. Your type will take me here to the hospital. I was always careful and this time I really neglected this. The bullet then hit me.

But ... Everything's worth it for me. And at least, no other misfortune will happen in my life. No Uno, no Dark Alpha. Nothing will ruin my quiet life.

I slowly closed my eyes and smiled. I could not have overcome all this without God and ... Ivan. They were my shield and my protector. I am deeply grateful to them because they helped me get through it all.

Roxanne was currently serving me the soup that Manang brought earlier. Manang was no longer here because he has something important to go to. He seems to be in a hurry e. But I don't tend to interfere with, life with life so I just didn't ask where he was going. I just thanked him and we had a little more fun.

I thought maybe he would go to Marilyn because I heard that Amethyst was also taken to this hospital. Maybe he was already worried about his grandson so he was in a hurry to leave earlier.

Roxanne blew the hot broth before pouring the spoon on me. We said goodbye when I woke up. It's really good and the fight between the two of us didn't last long. Roxanne can be scary to be an enemy. His actions were conscientious.

After he showered me he placed the bowl on the side table and took a glass of water. There was also a pill of medicine there and even that he took as well.

He handed me the medicine. "Drink that, Creed said. Pain killer so that your back doesn't hurt." aniya.

'thank you." I smiled at him and accepted the medicine. I boiled it and he handed me the glass of water.

I sipped some water and immediately returned the glass to him.

"Hmm. I'm a little sleepy, best. I haven't slept watching over you yet. I'll sleep first, okay?" Roxanne asked while yawning.

I looked at Darlyn who was now asleep on the couch. He also let me know earlier that he was drowsy so I put him to sleep on the couch first. There was no other bed here in this room even though it was VIP.

I glanced at Roxanne who was squinting as she looked at me. His eye bags were also obvious because maybe it's late at night. Seriously, Darlyn and I were really watching. I was really lucky and they became my friends.

"All right, best. Get some rest." I smiled at him again.

One of his eyebrows rose. "were you sure? Don't you need anything else? I'm really going to sleep." he yawned again. Nako, I'm already sleepy.

I nodded. "Yeah, go ahead. Go to sleep."

He sniffed slightly. "You said that, huh? Ge, I'll do a beauty rest first. Gosh, the size of my eye bags." he walked over to another large couch. When he got to the front then he collapsed and began to fall asleep.

I in turn just leaned on the headboard of the bed and picked up the TV remote on the side table. I pressed the open button and a channel appeared on the TV screen airing one of the most popular newscast shows here in the Philippines.

The news was still going the same way. Still about drug pushers, drugs, crimes, traffic, politics and whatever else was usually reported. It's not that I'm in America, I don't watch the news here in the Philippines. I care more about the news here in this country than in America e.

I was about to switch the channel because I didn't seem to get anything out of the news when that newscast suddenly changed its segment. I frowned when I saw the sad look of the host. Who else could be a famous actor or politician who died? That's how it used to be for me e. Just a first look.

Suddenly Ivan's photo was shown on TV so my eyes suddenly widened! My mouth dropped open as I stared in shock at the television screen. Why was my wife's picture there ?!

'the kind-hearted business tycoon and the CEO of De Leon Corporation, Mr. Ivan Jed De Leon was now in a middle of being comatose and was now in the ICU for a major monitoring by the smartest doctors of De Leon Medical Center, which was also his property. He was delivered into the emergency room three days ago because, well, according to rumors, he was shot in the chest. His life was in "fifty-fifty" when the doctors were operating him. According to his doctors , it was a big miracle that Ivan De Leon was able to survive that ... 'the host's tears dripped but he wiped them away immediately. Wait ... She's familiar. "As you all know, I have been the host of this show for a long time and I always give you comfort but ... Now I will take this opportunity at least for my sister. I will not make you happy now. Because. .. I, Ivy Jenner De Leon, was requesting even a simple prayer to all of you ... "I don't know but even I cried. What's going on? I know nothing of this! Ivy sobbed but she also spoke immediately.

"Please, pray for my brother. I know you already know him because he was often featured in the news. He's a good man. He has helped a lot. So please ... I'm begging you, even just a short prayer will do. I still want Kuya Ivan to live. We still want him to be with me. I want to help him a lot more so please ... I hope you will pray for my brother. At least for a moment, please ... " Ivy blinked sharply and continued to sob. Crap, I want to cry more because of what I'm seeing right now. It was my first time to see Ivy begged for his brother.

As I watched with her I couldn't even hold back my tears. No ... I don't know anything about what I've seen! What did Ivan's brother say? Why was he shot? Why was he fifty-fifty and why was he in the ICU ?!

My right hand was shaking when I reached for the remote again to turn off the TV. I forcibly pressed the off button even though it seemed as if a strong wind had just blown away my strength. I lowered the remote again and held it tightly.

Why so? Ivan and I were in the same hospital but I didn't immediately find out about his condition? I don't know how he was shot, I don't know how he got to the ICU. At least a little I know nothing. Or ... Did the people around me mean it? Did they mean to keep it all a secret from me?

Probably, yes. It won't turn out like this if they told me earlier that Ivan's life was now in danger. I won't cry this hard and ask stupid questions through my mind if in the first place ...

I closed my eyes tightly and let my tears flow. They even lied. In the news, I found out about the condition of the person I love the most.

I quietly cried. I don't want to be angry with them. I don't want to blame them. I can't do that. That reason was too superficial. They helped me to overcome those shits that happened to me. This was not the time for others to blame me. Maybe, they have their reason why they did hide everything to me.

I woke up and took a deep breath. I don't want to cry. I need to know the truth. I want to know how Ivan was shot. I want to see him now. I want to see her condition.

I wiped away my tears and took another deep breath. Without saying a word I removed the dextrose that was attached to me. I couldn't take the pain anymore and just let my wrist bleed. I don't care about the pain. I know it will subside later. The important thing was that I see Ivan now.

I slowly got out of bed so I wouldn't make a noise. I kept my eyes on Roxanne and Darlyn who were both asleep now. They couldn't wake up because they might even stop me from visiting Ivan. And just in case I won't stop them either. My husband needs me now.

I picked up a pair of slippers that sat on the side table and put them on. I slowly got up from sitting on the bed without making any noise. I swallowed before deciding to walk. Some parts of my body still hurt but I don't care. Ivan was even more important to me.

When I got to the front of the bedroom door I immediately touched the door knob. I was about to turn it when I heard a voice. Oh, crap. How did Darlyn even wake up? I closed my eyes tightly and even my grip on the door knob tightened.

"Ay jusko po! Where were you going and get up ?!" Darlyn asked sharply.

I let go of the door knob and turned to look at him. He was approaching me now as his eyebrows met but the concern was still on his face.

She pulled my bleeding wrist the moment she stood in front of me. He stared at it the most and soon was shaken one after another. She looks disappointed and at the same time, worried.

"Why did you remove your dextrose? Look and your wrist was already bleeding." his gaze shifted to me. "Where were you going? Wait a minute and I'll call the doctor. Let's treat your wound. Just be there and wait—"

I withdrew my arm from him. I folded my arms and averted my eyes from him. I don't want to be angry with him. Maybe I'm annoyed but I know I'm a little annoyed with that and I'll only feel it for a moment.

"I'm going to Ivan." I answered directly while not looking at him.

"Ha? Didn't I tell you that he will visit you here tomorrow? Hey, you'll see him tomorrow too. Don't be in a hurry. Go back to bed, go ahead ..." he said and took my arm again but I immediately took you away.

I looked at him again and smiled at him bitterly. "Seriously, Darlyn? How can Ivan visit me if he's in a coma now and still in the ICU?" I could no longer control the tone of my voice. I'm quite pissed, okay?

His eyes widened. He also opened his mouth, maybe because he was so shocked. It looks like they really had no intention of telling me then about what happened to Ivan.

"Ahm ... What ICU? Andrea, we told you, she's at her parents' house with the twins—" I cut her off.

"Oh, please. Stop that already, Darlyn. I don't want to get mad at you so don't continue that lie of yours. Just take me to where Ivan was. I want to check on him." I adjusted the hospital gown I was wearing. It's a bit chaotic.

"But ..." he hesitated, I know. "I promised Xyleus that I won't take you to Ivan because you might not be able to handle the way he looks now. So ... Please? Andrea? Just visit him later. It's not yet the right time ..." he avoided of looking at me by bowing.

"In that case ... When's the right time you're saying, Darlyn? When Ivan's gone I'll only be able to visit him later, huh? Well, that's bullshit!" the tone of my voice rose. "I heard it from the news, Darlyn! Ivan's life was dangerous. What do you want me to do, huh? Just stare at it while the person I love was dying? I can't understand you! Why don't you want to see I'm Ivan ?! "

"It's not like that, Andrea. We just want you to get well before you visit him ..." he looked at me again and I could see the sadness on his face.

"No! I don't care about myself! I don't feel sick anymore so can I ?! Take me to Ivan, right now!" I tried to step but I was immediately stopped when someone grabbed my arm again.

I looked at it and saw Roxanne looking at me seriously. was he too? Will he also stop me from going to Ivan?

"I know you love her, Rigella, but please understand her yourself first!" Roxanne's cry echoed in the four corners of the room. My eyes widened and at the same time I swallowed. Only now did he call me by my real name again. "You're so selfish! You don't even think we're the people who worry about you. You want to see Ivan, don't you? You want to know his condition? Well, you learn to wait! You don't have to always be in a hurry with all those thing! Wait! Besides, I already talked to Ivan's doctor a while ago and he said that your husband's condition was gradually improving. His body was also responding. I hope you waited first so I can tell you everything. this before you get out of bed and injure yourself. " he stared at me before he sighed.

I was stunned by what he said. I knew he was right, I shouldn't just get up from the bed I was lying on without even saying goodbye to them. I didn't think your concern they would feel for me. I became selfish. I became a narrow-minded bitch a while ago.

I kept my eyes on Roxanne who was now circling me out of maybe too much disappointment. Darlyn looked at me with pity.

"But ..." I stopped speaking to see Roxanne's reaction. She stared at me. "Ivy said in the news earlier that Ivan was not stable yet ..." I almost whispered.

Roxanne sighed and nodded. "Oh, that." he nodded again. "It's true what he said that Ivan was not stable yet because that's what he knows and that's also true. But Ivan was resisting so maybe his condition was improving at this time." he replied.

"I'll call the doctor. Your wound needs to be treated." Darlyn replied to us that Roxanne had just nodded.

Darlyn just smiled at me sparingly before she left the room. Oh my, I yelled at him earlier. Why was my brain so narrow?

"How was he shot, Roxanne?" I turned my gaze back to Roxanne.

His expression was suddenly sad. "After that Seymour ass shot you, he suddenly came ... What was his name then? Ah, just. He shot Ivan in the chest." he replied making me gasp. "But I still remember that. Darlyn told me that. Kris ... Wait, Kriselle? Krisha? Ah, I don't know. Maybe you know?"

I took a deep breath and clenched my fist spontaneously. 'that's Kristine." I answer emphatically. Shame on that gaga. He has no right to shoot Ivan!

"Ah, that's right! But Darlyn said it was already dead so don't worry. But ..." he stopped talking and grinned.

"But what?" kunot noo kong tanong.

"But ... Seymour was still alive. He's under hospital arrest now. And, if you plan to wage war on him again, don't continue. That animal of yours will be imprisoned." he shrugged. "Seriously, his plastic was stupid, huh? We were fooled by his benevolent effect." he made a difficult promise.

"I want to see Seymour ..." it came out of my mouth.

"Ha ?! were you crazy, best?" he asked in shock. "Why, don't meet there anymore, what. He's been scolding you so much. He doesn't deserve to see you anymore." he added.

"But I want to know everything. I know he's still not telling me and I want to know that." I said again.

"It's the best, eh! You're really weird!" he said frowning.
