Chapter 91
Nathan knew the seriousness of the accident when Samuel was quiet.He panicked.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"It's a little complicated now. But it doesn't look like it was just an accident." Samuel said seriously.
"What do you mean by that? Did the Adams family go after her?" Nathan asked already exasperated.
"It wasn't even the Adams family." Samuel shook his head.
Nathan got the more confused. If it wasn't the Adams family,then who else could have gone after Hilda. "Don't tell me my family already found out."
"No, no, no. Not your family. They are sill in the dark about your marriage." Samuel shook his head as he responded.
"Then who else could it be?" Nathan looked on at Samuel waiting for an answer.
Samuel was about to respond to him when the door to Nathan's ward was opened and a clear and excited voice was heard."You are up my son."
Mrs.Clemon and her husband entered. They had just found out about Nathan being up so they rushed in as soon asthey could."My dear, how are feeling?" She added as she stood beside Nathan's bed crying tears of joy.
"Mom, I'm fine. What's with the tears? It's not like I am going to die." Nathan said amusingly.
"You scared me either way." Mrs. Clemon responded as she wiped the tears off her face. And then she turned to Samuel.
"Has the doctor done his checks? What did he say?"
"His doctor is currently performing a surgery on another patient. But I have personally checked on him. He will be fine aunt. All that's left his the injuries he sustained that needs to heal." Samuel replied.
"Alright. My dear, lemme get them to make something for you now."' She turned to her husband. "Hun, please call the chef at home and let her make some soup for my boy." She requested.
Mr. Clemon had always doted on his wife. He smiled as he saw his son awake. He nodded to his wife. "I will surely Madame." He said as he bow down a little to her.
Mrs. Clemon just laughed and hit him on the shoulder shyly."Don't be so cheesy."
Samuel just laughed where as Nathan voiced out. "Stop acting all lovey dovey in front of me. I just came out of a coma. It's making me cringe."
They all burst out laughing.
After talking some more with Nathan, a nurse came in to check on his wounds and treat them. They had to wait outside so
they bid their good byes to Nathan and walked out. Samuel also did same although Nathan wanted to get to the bottom of what they were discussing earlier.
"I got a patient to attend to. I will be back here later." Samuel said and walked out.
Nathan gritted his teeth when he thought about what Samuel had said earlier. Hilda was in the wheel chair thanks to someone. The fact that he was not able to protect her was killing him so much that he screamed out loud.
He felt like the beast inside of him was burning with rage.Who ever had the nerve to attack Hilda didn't seem to fear him.He needed to get to the bottom of what happen. The person needs to face his wrath.
The nurse who was treating his wound freaked out as soon as Nathan screamed. She thought she was the reason why he screamed. And that she had touch his wounds making it burn him. She started apologizing. "I'm sorry sir. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Nathan saw the scared look on her face and brushed her off."It doesn't hurt. Just be quick with it."
What did he mean by it doesn't hurt? He just screamed out loud but he is telling me it doesn't hurt. Maybe it's because he doesn't want me to know that he could be this vulnerable. And because he is a man. He wants to fake being okay with the pain. Thinking about this, the nurse took her time slowly as
she treated his wounds so as for him to feel less pain.
Meanwhile inside Hilda's ward, she was so happy that she held onto Nuella's hand joyously. "Nathan is up."
"Yes, he is up." Nuella responded.
"I can't believe it. But that means I will be leaving him soon."She said sadly.
"Yeah, you need to get well too. I will be with you through your sessions." Nuella comforted her.
Although Hilda would love to be with Nathan at this time,she knew her health was also at stake. Samuel told her that if she did delay any longer, the possibility of her walking again will be low. Thinking about this. She wondered about what Nathan will think when he asks about the accident. He will think she is clumsy. She thought sadly.
