Chapter 78 - [Bonus ]Who Are You? (1/2)
Meredith was finally getting discharged today. After the scans, lab results and physical examinations she was ready to go. She was healing at such a faster rate; the doctors were even surprised.
”James, have you installed the security systems in the house?” Atlas questioned on the phone. He was currently on the phone with James.
”Yes Mr. Martini.”
”Hmm, what about the chef and the cleaner I told you to hire?”
”All done Sir.”
”Alright, thank you. I'm now completing her discharge procedure. You can come pick us up in 20.” Atlas suggested, walking to Meredith's room.
”Okay Sir.”
The nurse was now done removing her cannula and was about to leave. She smiled at Atlas.
”I'm done, Mr. Martini.” She was an older woman, so she treated Atlas like her son during his stay at the hospital. She would always encourage him to not give up and that Meredith would wake up and she did.
Atlas smiled back at her, ”Thank you for everything, Rose.”
”Don't forget to bring her for wound dressing every three days.”
”Alright.”

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at Atlas's mansion with Meredith sleeping in his arms. Atlas stared at her sleeping like a new born baby and his lips curled up into a gentle smile. He took small steps towards the bed and gently placed her on the silky sheets. Meredith stirred and opened her eyes.
”Are we there yet?”
”Yeah, just sleep.” Atlas said softly, adjusting her pillow and pulling the blankets over body.
”Hmm, thank you.” Meredith whispered softly; her eyes closing. The medications were finally taking a toil on her and she was sleepy.
”Anything for you love.” Atlas uttered and pressed a kiss on her forehead.
”I will be at the room just facing this one, if you need me.”'
”Okay.” Meredith replied breathing heavily and surrendered to sleep.
Atlas stared at her for a few minutes before he left her alone. Now that she was asleep, he wanted to finish some work. He hadn't been to the company for two weeks so workload was piled on his desks.
He knew Albert had brought them. Some papers needed his signature and he had to call an important investor whom he was supposed to meet at the day after the incident but couldn't.
The man was a good friend of his, so Atlas was sure he wouldn't mind.
After finishing up his work, Atlas went to back to his room completely exhausted. He saw Meredith still sleeping and he smiled subtly. He walked towards the bathroom for a quick shower and come back.
Wearing sweatpants, he came to sit beside Meredith on chair near the bed.. His heart slammed at the sight of her lying safely in his bed. He pushed a strand of hair behind her face.
Based on the report Ace had given him, he had so many questions but he didn't know how to ask her. He was afraid she wouldn't let him in. It was hard to believe that someone wants to hurt his innocent, Angel. Who? And Why?
Caught up in his thoughts, Atlas didn't even realize that she had woken up.
”A-atlas.” She croaked out.
Atlas's woke up from his stupor.
”Hey…how are you feeling?” Atlas asked softly.
”Better…but thirsty.” She answered yawing in the process.
Atlas's lips curled up in a grin at her cute expression. He took the water he had placed on the bedside when he had come to check up o her earlier and opened it for her.
