90 Tragedy Came Knocking (1/2)

A week passed and neither Alex nor Zunnie had woken up. The doctors and nurses at Victoria Hospital had been doing everything they could to ensure there were no tragedies. Also, having both Wan Bai and the Zi's, two of Una City's most prominent families constantly breathing down their necks left no room for error.

”Doctor, any changes in my son and daughter's recovery?” Wan Bai asked for the thousandth time the second week the couple had been at the hospital.

”I'm sorry Mr. Bai, nothing has changed. We're doing everything in our power. All we can do right now is wait.” The doctor in charge of Zunnie and Alex reassured Wan Bai.

”Ah thank you, doctor.” Wan Bai walked back into Zunnie's room looking dejected.

He had not been able to sleep well since the day of the accident. They had been waiting on Zunnie and Alex for an hour that night. When the hospital called him, he had almost fainted.

The doctor had said that her injuries were much serious than Alex's and they were not sure if she would survive. The doctor also mentioned that her head had been knocked repeatedly when the car flipped and since she was the passenger, she had suffered more than Alex did. They even said she might have memory loss and some permanent head injuries from the accident.

Wan Bai sighed as he walked over to were Eyan stood staring outside the window.

”Son, you should go home and rest. Come back later this evening.” He uttered and patted Eyan's back, who furrowed his brow then turned to face him.

”Why don't you go home. You haven't been home for almost two weeks. I'll stay with sis, if she wakes up you'll know.” Eyan said and began walking his dad to the door.

He had called the driver to bring their dad home because he was worried about his health. His father looked like he had aged these past few days and Eyan was scared that he would not be able to hang on longer.

”But I want to be with my pumpkin; w-wh…” Wan Bai voice cracked as if he were about to cry.

He quickly cleared his throat and nodded, not wanting to break down in front of his son. Maybe he did need the rest, he followed Eyan to the car and the driver took him back to the Bai manor.

The driver took the long drive home to be respectful. He did not want to take his boss through the route his daughter and son in law had their accident. Stirring up these emotions may be bad for his health.

The drive home was a quiet one. Wan Bai who was often chatty looked like his soul had left his body. He stared through the closed window not even blinking once.

After a few minutes of driving, they finally arrived.

”Sir, we're here,” The driver opened the for Mr. Bai who had been deep in thought and had not heard.

”Sir…?” The driver tapped on the window of the opened door to bring his soul back to his body.
