Diana - Chapter 279

Ethan was tempted to ask for the fetus to be flushed out immediately and have his woman back, but realized the life of their child concerned the both of them.

If he wanted to make such decision, Diana must be willing as well. What if she find out about it and hated him. What if she claimed he let their child get murdered.

He didn’t want her to feel hurt again. “how is she doing now?” Ethan asked.

The doctor replied that she’s under sedation and also in a coma, but she should wake up within a few days.

Ethan said his thanks and said he will only make a decision after discussing it with Diana.

The doctor didn’t disagree, but make him understand the decision should be made within six days, because that’s when another surgery will be perform.

Ethan have the belief that Diana will surely wake up before then, because he didn’t know what to choose that wouldn’t ruin everything.

“You should get yourself checked out, or you might not be able to use that hand again.” the doctor said, making Ethan look at his hand and finally started feeling all the pains that he has made himself numb to, all this while.

He said his thanks sincerely and walked out to get himself treated. Chris is right, he need to be strong. Diana lives and she shouldn’t see him like this.

It wasn’t as simple as he thought, when he started getting treated. He was in pain as he was being tended to, while his entire forehead is covered in perspiration.

He didn’t know what happened but when he opened his eyes, it’s already 2 days later.

He opened his eyes and saw Chris sitting on a chair and resting his head on his bed. He saw that his hand was neatly bandaged, while his pain seem to have subsidies.

Chris raised his head after Ethan tried to get up, “you cool man?” he asked and Ethan nodded his head.

Seeing the dark circles under his friend’s eyes, he felt bad and apologize for troubling him, but Chris brush him off saying they are friends and should be there for each other.

He inquiry about what happened and couldn’t believe he was asleep for a whole day and night. Chris said he made the request to sedate him, because he really needed the rest.

Before Ethan could freak out and ask about Diana, he assured him that he’s been taking turns in watching over both of them. He didn’t just handed over her care to the nurses and monitored her himself.

Ethan feel indebted to him, but knew he would get angry that he’s exaggerating if he act sentimental and only said his thanks.

“You’re welcome.” Chris replied casually and asked how the pain is now and all, but Ethan’s body was only present in the room. His heart and soul were already in Diana’s ward.

“Common, you should go see her.” Chris said, patting his shoulder softly.

Ethan asked him to go take a rest, which he nodded that he will. After Ethan left,  he also left to help them get new sets of clothes and foods.

…..

Ethan was now sitting inside Diana’s ward. She look better than the last time she was covered in blood and all swollen up.

She look pale and has lost a lot of weight. It was as if it’s been months she’s been sick. He couldn’t help but admitted to himself that, her so called training is the reason she was able to recover so fast,  because such situations was supposed to lead to her death.

It’s probably because her body was accustomed to it already. She was dressed up in a white patient’s gown, while her hair were neatly arranged and loosely bond, while set by her right side, on the pillow.

He couldn’t help but be grateful to Chris, because it’s obvious he gave those instructions.

He lifted his right arm and reached his palm to stroke her face gently. He really blamed himself, because one thing is sure. If Diana wasn’t pregnant, she wouldn’t go down so quickly and the help that arrives might met them in a better condition.

He caused it, and this made him feel more awful. Looking at her calm expression, he felt himself tearing up again.

He told himself that he’s going to take her away. Take her to a place where all these annoying stuff will leave her back. She need to breathe.

After an hour or so, Chris returned with the new set of clothes and the food he bought. He has already took his bath and changed into a new outfit himself.

He passed Ethan his own and kept Diana’s own aside for the nurse to take care of it after she wakes up, or perhaps when they clean her up.

Ethan wanted to reject, but Chris said he will stay with her on his behalf. He reminded him that if he want to make up for the pains Diana suffered, he need to be healthy and look his best, only then will he be able to do everything right.

Squeezing his shoulder lightly, he passed him the clothes again and urge him to go and clean up and come and eat.

Taking the clothes from him. Ethan look at Chris for a while before speaking up, “I can’t thank you enough for all this bro.” he said.

Chris smiled nonchalantly, “there’s a way to thank me, but you need to be in better shape before we can talk about it, so stay strong bro.” he replied and Ethan forced a smile before leaving the room after placing a soft kiss on Diana’s forehead.

Chris watched him left and stare at Diana for a while. During the time Ethan was sleeping and he’s watching over her, something happened.

He had no idea what was going on then, but all the heart monitor and everything else connected to her started beeping.

He got scared and quickly called the doctors. While they were fighting to save her, he asked for Ethan to be sedated, because if he wakes up during all these,  he might break down again.

It was why he had dark circles, because he didn’t sleep all through the night, same as the doctors.

It’s scary as he stare at her now, because the girl nearly died, but Ethan must not learn about it.
