Chapter 122 - Its Either You Live or I Die (1/2)

It was Wednesday and It was Alex's turn to visit April. Today, he decided not to bring anyone with him. For some reason, he dreamed that something bad will happen to April last night. After toss and turning in the bed all night long, he decided to take this trip with just himself.

He instantly felt relieved to see April wide awake. Although her consciousness wasn't there and she didn't like anyone touching her. It was still much better to see her physically there than not being able to see her at all. Her eyes were staring dead straight into the window.

”Good morning baby! I see that you're awake. Have you eaten yet?” He casually asked. Although he knew that she wouldn't make any replies, the doctors had said that they should always try to communicate to her. Who knows if maybe she was listening and would attract a response from her?

Alex sat beside her bed and just looked at her. There were a billion things on his head right now. Even though he was hurting that he could not touch her, pull her into his arms and make her know of his existence, how could it be compared to her pain? He could only endure and talked to her nonstop. He told her about the things he had accomplished recently, how was their son doing and also how was her parents were doing. Anything that was close to her heart, he was there to take care of it for her.

He hated the fact that he can't bring her home and yet he respected the Black Dragon Club. It was thanks to them that he could see her again. Just that, was it going to be like this forever? He knew he would be fine with it, he would accompany her till they grow old. He would stand by her side no matter what and shield her from harm. But, how would their son take it? Right now, he had never seen him smile anymore. For a young kid that was so smart, this wasn't good for him.

He never threw a tantrum again, only did so when he had not seen his mother. Now that he did, he quietly pulls himself together and acted like his mother was okay. Although he would smile when he visits her mother, he would be the opposite at home.

Weird thing was, he had immersed himself into books. He would not play like any other kids and instead try to learn as much as he could. For a 4 year old boy, it was heartbreaking to him. Luckily, he has a nanny and a tutor to guide him or else he wouldn't know how to handle his son. Right now, he was prioritizing April.

Aside from the Black Dragon Club who was studying the drugs that April had taken in. The Hawthorne wasn't idling as well. At the same time, the Smith's and the Lewis had cooperated with them. This made them like a big support group to help April come back. Though Colm was angry at first, he was a bad person. He had hidden his anger, all for April's sake.

Alex sighed. It was already almost sunset. He had been with her all day. He even helps her ate some food. This was the newest progress that they have achieved. As long as no one touches her by skin to skin, she would be fine. For food-wise, as long as one would persistently administer it to her mouth, she would be able to take a few bites. Still, it wasn't enough. Most of her nutrition was either from feeding her through a gastric feeding tube and also through injections.

April was so skinny was it was worrying. Anyone that would look at her would pity her. But, they could only do so much. After seeing her sleeping, Alex takes his exit. It was already 7 pm. April usually takes an early rest and the villa curfew was 8 pm. Strictly supervised by the Black Dragon Club's men.

After Alex left, he didn't notice that there was a black car parked somewhere hidden. Inside were two people.
