Present….
In shock, he stood up from the chair and fisted his palms, gritting his teeth.
" What happened? " Katherine asked him as he stood suddenly pushing her head from his chest. " Who was on the call? " He stared at her and replied, " He kidnapped mom…"
" What? " Thomas exclaimed, who was standing behind Katherine.
" It's all happening because of me…" Katherine started crying again. Adrian placed his hands around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
" Stop cursing yourself. It all happened because of that bastard. You stayed away from me all these years and suffered alone because of him. You didn't make any mistake except one…." He said.
She raised her head and looked at his face confused. " You made a mistake by hiding all these things from me…"
Then he continued, " But don't worry, I will pay him back for all your tears…" He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead.
" But what about Mom? I already lost Aunt Lisa and My dad. But I am not ready to lose my beloved one because of me. If I stay with you, he will harm you and I don't want it to happen." she sobbed. " Shhh...Love…. Don't cry…" he said.
" I hid all these years from you so that you and Sam will be safe. I lived all these years without you by taking care of our Sam. Even though I was not happy without you, I spent all these years thinking that you are safe somewhere. But see...what happened now. He tried to kill our son and he kidnapped your mom. I am a curse. Let me go from your life " she cried.
He stepped back from her and gripped both her arms.
" Where will you go? Away from me? Away from our son? " Adrian yelled at her.
" Addy….calm down. She is upset and not in her right mind" Thomas tried to calm him. Adrian looked at Thomas and asked, " Then what should I do? Shall I allow her to run away from me? "
Just then, Steven and Ruby return to them and inform Adrian, " Aunt Maria is safe in the protection of our guards. She is coming here.. "
Adrian and Katherine felt relief with the news. Then Thomas asked her, " Why did you tell Aunt Maria about your situation even though you came to meet Adrian at his house after escaping from your home? "
" Still you were hiding something from us? " Adrian asked Kathie. She nodded her head as No. Then Ruby started narrating, " We came to your home to meet you. She lied to your mom about her name because she doesn't want Grayson's to harm you or your family. But you were out of the station. When she talked with your mom then we came to know that you got an offer from Micheal company to finance to launch your first car in the market. But you are so upset about your personal life as you got the news that she is going to marry a rich person. Your mom was so upset about your career. So she decided to stay away from you "
" Why Kathie? " Adrian asked.
" Because I love you so much. I don't want to be the reason for the obstacle of your dreams. So I decided to stay away from you"
" So...you alone decided that I will be happy fulfilling my dreams without you?" he questioned.
" I want you to be safe and happy... " she replied. His eyes filled with tears knowing her love for him. " How could you love me so much? " he asked, hugging her. " I have no answer for this question but I can say one thing that I love you so much…"
…..
After a while, Maria came to the hospital to visit Sam. She went inside the incentive care and checked her grandson. On seeing his condition, her heart was broken. She loved Sam so much. And in less time, she became so attached to him. She stayed for a few minutes in incentive care and came out. But she was confused to see the bodyguards on every side of the hospital.
" Ad..what is going on in the hospital? Why are there many bodyguards for our security? Is there any problem? " she questioned him. Katherine gulped her throat and looked at Adrian. He gestured to her with his eyes that he will take care of everything. Then he narrated about Katherine's past and the problem with Grayson.
Maria was scared to know what Katherine went through in her past. She felt bad for Kathie but started worrying about his son's safety. She sat beside Kathie and said, " You are a strong woman. I am so proud of you"
Kathie looked at her with sad eyes and hugged her tightly. " Mom...Sam likes you so much. Please make him talk…" she cried, placing her head on her shoulder. She rubbed Kathie's back and said, " Be strong. He will be fine…."
Just in time, Steven brought some food for Adrian and Kathie. " You both don't eat anything for the afternoon. It's already night. Fill your stomach with some food, " Steven said.
" I don't eat anything, till my Sam opens his eyes and calls me, momma…" Kathie said while crying. " Kathie….please listen to us, already you fainted twice. What if you fainted again then at that time Sam gets conscious and how could you talk to him? " Ruby questioned her. Thomas also forced Adrian to eat food to get some energy. They both had some food with everyone's compulsion.
Everyone was waiting curiously to know the progress of Sam's condition.
….
One hour later, the doctor came to the hospital to give treatment for Sam as Steven arranged a doctor from his country. The doctor studied Sam's medical reports thoroughly and came out of the incentive care. Katherine noticed the doctor and ran towards him and asked, " Is he going to be fine! Will he talk to me soon! ". She was looking at the doctor with so much hope. Adrian held her closer to him and patted her shoulder to make her calm.
"Mrs Wilson...I can understand your state. First, relax and listen to my words " the doctor said, looking at Adrian.
" As per reports, your son has two clots but there are very small clots. I think he is in a coma because of the shock of the incident. Before going to further treatment, I need to observe him. So that I can start my treatment…" he informed.
" Is he out of danger? " Adrian asked the doctor.
" I cannot assure anything, right now because during the treatment he may be fine or maybe completely go into a coma. But I can give you a small hope…" the doctor said then he walked towards Steven. Adrian noticed that the doctor discussed something with Steven for a few minutes.
Then Steven came to Adrian and Katherine and he said, " I need to talk with you about something important…"
" Is anything wrong with Adrian? " he asked immediately as he was restless.
" Yeah. Everything is fine. But…" Katherine cut off his words and asked, " What? "
" Kathie...The doctor informed me that he cannot stay for many days as he had many patients at his hospital. So he was asking Sam to shift to Canada if possible…" he said.
" We will come to your place if my grandson gets well soon. …" Maria said who was listening to the conversation for the last few minutes. Adrian also nodded his head looking at Kathie.
" Doctor advised me to start after one day…." Steven informed them.
" Okay…" Adrian agreed.
" I will arrange my private jet for our journey in two days. We can't take any risk about the safety " Steven said and informed the doctor that they are coming to Canada. Adrian requested Steven to take his mother and Ruby as it was late at night. Maria was adamant to stay at the hospital but Adrian sent her with Steven.
That night Adrian and Katherine stayed back at the hospital. Both of them sat on the wooden benches in the hospital lobby. Katherine looked so tired as she was crying most of the day about her son. Katherine's eyelids were fluttering as she was feeling dizzy. Adrian noticed her state and sat closer to her. He kept his hands around her shoulder and said, " Sleep for a while. You are looking so tired "
" No. I will stay awake…" she replied abruptly.
" Buttercup...listen to me. What if Sam wakes up and teases you that you are looking like a ghost? " he said, cupping her face. Her eyes become wet hearing about Sam. She snuggled into his arms and said in a quivering voice, " I am scared…."
" I am there for you. No need to worry. Sleep…" he cooed to her. Slowly her cry subsided after a while. Then he made her sleep on his lap, stroking her hair softly. With his soothing touch, she closed her eyes while holding his other hand. Her grip was strong as he may disappear if she left his hand.
He looked at her pale face and felt bad that he was not there when she suffered a lot. He stopped stroking her hand and took her hand into his palms.
" I am lucky to have you in life. Once we separated, but I don't give that chance to anyone, not even to fate…" he mumbled looking at her.
