BXBX NOVEL Chapter 488: Alita !!! You are alive?
488 Alita !!! You are alive?
"Husband !!! Whose Husband?"
"I guess you are deluded. We are just his friends."
Akira said and then looking at Raymond she added,
"Can we rush?"
"Totally!"
Saying that Raymond pointed towards the elevator and extended his hand for Akira to hold on to. And then they both rushed upstairs.
The moment they got into room number 217, they saw a pale looking Dr. Oshana sitting next to Dr. Nelson, holding his hands tenderly.
Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Dr. Oshana got startled and she turned towards the door and saw them both and her lips muttered a silent curse. Her life had been perfectly fine like s straight line, but ever since they entered into hers, it had been nothing bus chaos.
Leaving Dr. Nelson's hands she got up from his seat and before she could greet them both or say anything, a worried Akira barged in with urgency.
Coming close to Jaby, Akira inspected him, his stitches, his hands which had pricks because of all the needles that had been pierced, the bandages and small bruises which were scattered across his face because of the broken glass.
"Why is he not waking up?"
Akira asked looking at Dr. Oshana with her eyes almost brimming up in tears. But somehow that didn't raise any sympathy in Dr. Oshana's heart. She wanted to scream at her and say on her face that it was all because of her. But somehow she refrained from saying anything and muttered.
"Anesthesia takes some time to wear out."
"What?"
"What I mean is, he is still under the influence of anesthesia from the procedure. It will take another hour or so to wear out."
"I see."
Saying that a troubled Akira looked at the vital monitor, trying to comprehend all those signals.
Setting her acting all pathetic, Dr. Oshana said,
"There is nothing to be worried about. The surgery went well. All that you need to do is to wait."
Akira meekly nodded and continued to look at the face of Dr. Nelson. She was trying to remember her last conversation with him at the party. But her thoughts were interrupted by Raymond's voice.
"How did it happen?"
"I have no idea."
Oshana replied curtly to Raymond's question.
"No idea? You were there with him."
Raymond asked and from his tone, Oshana could understand that he was getting irritated. So she added up.
"He was all fine. He just dropped me at my place and turned back to go to his. Then I heard a noise and I turned back and I see that he had crashed his har all by himself."
Raymond thought for a while and then asked,
"Where is that car now? Was it picked up by the agency?"
And before Raymond could even reply, David came in.
"Shit."
This was the first thing that came out of his mouth after seeing Dr. Nelson in that state.
"We need to check his car, David. It's with the state NY agency."
"Are you suspecting someone? Why would anyone harm him? He was like..."
"A nobody. A nobody who had nothing to do with people like you and he lived his life happily. But ever since he met you, you have eclipsed his fate Akira."
Oshana blurted after losing all her cool.
"Me? What do I have to do with this? You were with him when he left. Till he was with me, he was all fine."
"Was he Akira?"
"Yes, he was. What did you tell him on your way back? What did you do to upset his mind?"
Akira questioned her with an enraged tone, but then suddenly she turned after hearing a faint sound.
It was Dr. Nelson.
"Ali..."
"Alita....."
"Shit," and saying that Akira moved close to him.
"Call the attending doctor."
Raymond said looking at David and rushed to the other side of Dr. Nelson, completely sidelining the existence of Dr. Oshana in the room.
His fingers moved a bit and Akira immediately held his hand without even thinking for a moment and said,
"Jaby, it's all ok. We are all here. See.. everyone is here for you."
"Alita..."
"Alita I am sorry ..."
Saying that Jaby opened his eyes and looked at the worried face of Akira.
"Alita... You are here !!!"
And suddenly his voice sounded happy.
Getting a bit worried, Akira looked at Raymond first and then she said softly,
"It's Akira, Jaby. Do you remember me? We met in London at the ...."
And before she could even complete her sentence, the faint smile on Dr. Nelson's face disappeared and suddenly it was replaced by grim. His grip which had tightened a bit around her hand also slacked to an extent that it seemed as if he didn't want his hand to be held by her.
"Jaby, are you ok?"
Akira asked again, bending a bit closer to Jaby's face and that irritated Dr. Oshana and she said,
"Can you stop asking questions. He would be groggy right now and his throat might be all dried up. Just wait for the doctor to arrive before you start your questionnaire."
Feeling insulted Akira turned towards Dr. Oshana, for she wanted to ask her about her unruly behavior. But before she could someone had already stormed towards her.
"Do you have a bone to pick with my Akira?"
His voice had a weird rage and his hands were curled up in a fist. Even though Oshana was helping them out these days, he couldn't tolerate anyone talking back at Akira like that. Akira could see the fire in his eyes and decided to cool him off before he burst.
"The doctor is here Raymond."
Saying that Akira turned towards the doctor, but the moment he saw her face, the stethoscope fell down from his hands.
"Alita !!! You are alive?"
