Chapter 35 He is hurt
“How is he doctor?.” I asked the moments we walked into the hallway, I could see all the maids and staffs standing his his door and I urged them to leave. They don’t need to be here for now.
“He lost a lot of blood, he was stabbed three times big I was able to seal the wound and every exit that has ever caused this, he is on heavy sedative at the moment so he is asleep.” The doctor explained and I nodded
“Will he be fine.”
“Yes but I I would like to stay for the rest of the night for overstaying.” He stated, that’s not good; he never had to stay over night he never papa has any wounds but now he had to stay.
It made me feel worried, my heart tightened against my chest, my breath hitches and my eyes filled with tears as I stared at the doctor.
Nothing can ever happen to my papa, nothing will ever happen o him,‘I can’t let him get hurt, I can’t let anything ever come to harm to him.
I stared at the doctor, Adrian still beside me.
“Take my room instead.”
“What? I don’t- you have to.” Adrian said cutting him off: “it’s closer to her father’s room, it’s just to make sure you will be able to leave to head to him and check if he is fine.” Adrian stated.
I didn’t like the idea of that, I felt my feet feeling wobbly against the floor, my mind hazed with questions and my chest tightened against my heart.
I didn’t care what the doctor was saying anymore when I rushed into pap’s room,
There he was, equipment strapped to his body, he is awake, he would pull it all out of him, he hated that, he looked pale, I headed toward him, sitting on the little space on the bed and my eyes were on his.
“Papa.” I breathed out. “You are a fighter papa, you had to be fine, I still have two months with you, that’s more time to care for each other, more time to tell each other how much we care and papa, you have to be here for Christmas.” I breathed out.
My hand softly touched his, it was cold and warm, at the same time and it made me feel worried, my heart tightened against my chest when I leaned in and I placed a kiss on his forehead.
Papa always knows better than me than this time, when he wake up, I am not going to let him do what he feels like; he is staying in mind; he will stay by my side and he would never ever go to the compound again.
“I don’t care what you say papa, it’s not time for you to leave me, and you know that and you will stay away from the mafia for now, I don’t care how mad it’s going to make you, for the first time ever, you are going to pick yourself.” I breathed out as I stared at him.
My mind filled with thoughts, one that I should never ever think of having and I hated myself for even thinking about it when herd the sounds of footsteps form behind.
“What did he say? Is he in need of anything, I can get someone to go to the hospital and bring it.”
“Nothing, he needs nothing Elara.” Adrian spoke from behind when he wrapped his hand around my body and he pulled me even more closer to him.
His mind filled with thoughts as much as mine.
“I can’t lose him, not right now, I am not ready.”
“You are not going to lose him Elara, I know your father and I know how much of a fighter he is, how much he is willing to fight and be with you and how much he will want to make his attacker pay what he/she has done.”
“Tell me what happened?.” I breathed out, I am sure before coming here he spoke to the gaurds that were there and I am sure he is already taking measures to make sure we are all safe.
“Elara- just tell me what they did to him.” I whispered cutting him off, my hand never leaving my father.
“He was in a meeting, with some gang leader, he wanted to use their waters for shipment and no matter how big anyone is, permission is better than war, he got the permission when one of the gang members jumped him and attacked him, the guards said it was one of their guards, the moments it happened, they escaped, but they were able to capture on of them.”
“Why? Why would a gang member do something like this? They have no strength neither do they have power, even mafia kings works with them, it’s just for mere support.” I breathed out.
He didn’t have to look surprised, I did papa’s paperwork, I know that the gang members have little to nothing and the mafia king always use them because they want to have protection.
“Someone else did this.” Adrian stated and my breath hitches.
“You just said- I know.” He whispered cutting me off and I turned to look at him.
“I don’t know if it makes sense but someone did this.”
“Where is the gang member that captured?.” I asked.
“Elara- I want to speak to him, I want to know what he did this to my father, you told me you will show me a part of the mafia my father has never showed me and I want that now, I need to know why he did what he did and if you think someone else is at play, someone asked him to do it, I need to know too, papa always protected me, I want to do the same for him.” I breathed out.
A wave of anger wash over me as I stared at my father, they did this to him.
