Chapter 297 - Not waking up (1/2)

Robert was frozen in his spot, he didn't know how to react because if Jamie was unable to heal Rachel then Ethan would be of no use. Jamie had no idea how to console him because she too was heart broken and was constantly crying. She just sat in a corner with her heart feeling heavy and helpless. Robert came out of his daze and with a heavy heart he took some steps towards the glass door of the ICU and started at the pale figure of his girl. He wanted to say so many things but he could not say a word for some time, he felt like something was stopping him from speaking or saying anything.

Jessica had left the last time after erasing everyone's memories and staying for a day and this time he wished she was here. He looked at her face and whispered a little emotionally ”Please wake up I don't have anything in this life other than you.”

Jamie heard his voice and she felt her heart tremble with the amount of love this man had for his daughter. She stood up and put a hand on his shoulder and said calmly ”Don't worry, she will be fine.”

A tear rolled down his eyes as he looked at Jamie ”She has to be fine, please ask her to wake up.”

She hugged Robert and gave her all her motherly love to him, she felt her heart ache as she felt the love her daughter was being showered with although she was happy for her, it didn't make the condition any good. She felt the pain in her heart as she patted his back ”You have to be strong my son at least for her, she needs you at this moment and if you are weak then who will be there for her.”

He hugged her for a little while longer and then said in determined tone ”She will be fine, I will be there for her, I will be strong.”

She nodded her head ”Good”

She then went to call Charles while Robert went to the doctor to talk. He looked at the doctor and in a defeated tone he said ”Make sure she wakes up.”

He nodded and then Robert continued ”Can I stay inside with her?”

This was an honest and polite question that he asked the doctor who felt his pain and after a short pause he said ”I will arrange for that but please be careful to not cause any disturbance.

Robert nodded and as the doctor arranged for the things for him he went inside and sat next to Rachel. He placed a kiss on her hand and a few teardrops fell from his eyes.

Charles, Daisy and James came in with Lucas who the nanny was holding in her arms. Jamie was crying on the bench when Charles went to sit next to her and placing a hand on her shoulder he asked ”What is it sweetie, you were fine in the morning.”

Jamie looked at him tear eyed and said ”I send you away because I wanted to heal her with my magic but she is still not awake. I came here because I was sure that I can heal her but I failed and I don't know if my daughter is ever going to wake up again.”

Robert hugged Jamie and patted her back until she calmed down a little and then he said ”The police report came in and they told me that as they were investigating the case they first checked Carren's bags as it was the murder weapon.”

Jamie looked at him and said ”What was it, she can not be in this condition just because of that hit from the bag as they don't have many books in it. I know our Rach is not that weak.”

Charles nodded his head ”You are right it was not the mere force or the bag, it was the steel bottle inside her bag that injured her deeply and they also found a steel box inside her bag.”

Jamie began to cry again ”Charles I am scared, she is our only daughter.”

Charles nodded as his lips were set in a thin line, he didn't say any word in the fear that he himself might start crying. He had to be strong for the sake of his wife a daughter but he was scared to death by the condition of his daughter, he himself didn't know what to do if she didn't wake up. He too was scared about her but he was sticking to the hope, a thin tread of hope that was too fragile but he still held onto it.

Oliver came in too, all groomed but with a sad air, he was worried about the girl he had fell in love with. He wanted to talk to her, know more about her and spend his time with the one person that has won his attention but the fear in his heart was scaring him that what if his love story was short lived. What if this was the end of the life that he had started imagining, he didn't want that, he wanted to spend his live with her even if it was as her friend.
