Welcome To My Hell - Chapter 173

Dr Schmidt scheduled an operation time and informed the family.

The nurse bought in a form and was shivering standing in front of Elisio.

Elisio looked at the nurse and asked “what is it?”

“Don’t worry dad. I’ll take care of it” said Ermanno and looked at the nurse and said “I am her son, I’ll sign”

“Sign what?” Asked Elisio.

“It’s a formality dad. It’s just a consent form.” said Ermanno.

“What does it say?” Asked Elisio to the nurse.

“It simply says the doctor will do his best and we agree that the doctor has informed about the risks of the surgery. It’s basic dad. I’ll sign it.” Said Ermanno.

Dr Schmidt was standing at a distance. So Elisio walked to him and said “you better not screw up. You know me well”

Dr Schmidt gulped down and nodded.

Elisio was holding Sabrina’s hand while the nurses prepared to shift Sabrina to the operation theatre.

Ofcourse there was no way they could tell Elisio to move away from Sabrina. He hasn’t left her for more than few minutes since she has been in this condition and now that she was going in for another operation. He was not leaving her for a second.

“We have to take her Mr Devonte” said one of the nurses.

“Give us a minute” said Elisio and the two nurses left the room.

Elisio just stared at Sabrina and said “fiore, please fight this. I cannot live without you. And if it’s your time to leave. Please take me with you.” And kissed her forehead.

The nurses came in again and insisted they take her with them.

Elisio nodded but didn’t let her hand go till they reached the OT.

“Mr Devonte, please let go” Said the nurse.

Elisio couldn’t let go. He then felt a hand on his hand and Ermanno said “let go dad. You can see her soon”

Elisio left Sabrina’s hand and held Ermanno’s hand tight.

They took Sabrina in the OT and Elisio breath out.

“The operation is for few hours. Come with me. I need to show you something” said Ermanno.

“Not going to leave from here” said Elisio.

“I promise we will be back very soon. But trust me, you would want to see this” said Ermanno.

Elisio shook his head no and didn’t look away from the OT door.

“Dad, don’t you want to know who loves mom? And is doing something which you are not doing for her to get better?” Asked Ermanno and Elisio looked at Ermanno in shock and asked “what the f.u.c.k is someone doing that I am not. And if it can get my fiore’s life back. I want to do it too ”

“Then come with me” said Ermanno.

Elisio looked back at the OT door and then heard “we are here. We will call you if we hear something from the doctor” said Sarah standing with Sabrina’s brother.

Elisio nodded and left with Ermanno.

The operation started and Elisio was taken away by Ermanno.

“Where are we going? I need to be there with my fiore” said Elisio seated with Ermanno in his car.

“I want you to see something” said Ermanno and parked outside a over flowing church.

The people blocking the path to the church gave way to Elisio and Ermanno to go in.

Elisio was shocked to see so many people in the church.

‘these many people go to church?’ thought Elisio to himself.

They both walked in the front and Elisio looked around and saw his whole family and all close friends and their families.

“Dad look” said Ermanno and Elisio looked up front and saw all the children of the mansion seated up front and praying.

“When everyone came to know that the kids were coming here to pray for mummy. All the a.d.u.l.ts joined in and so did the people mom helped and knew. Mummy touched the lives of many people and everyone is praying for her” said Ermanno.

Elisio stood in one place and Ermanno walked in further and stood near Rose and wrapped his hand around her shoulder.

Emerald looked back at Elisio and saw he was standing in only one place and not praying.

The priest started the service with a opening prayer. Emerald turned to look behind her again and saw Elisio walking away. She got up from her place and ran behind Elisio.

Ermanno went to stop her but Zeke stopped him and shook his head.

Ermanno then saw she went behind Elisio.

Elisio walked out of the church and called one of the cars when he heard Emerald call for him.

He turned and picked her up and said “go back inside.”

“Where are you going?” Asked Emerald.

“Going back to the hospital to my fiore” said Elisio.

“Can I come. My knees are hurting kneeling” said Emerald.

“Don’t you want to pray for mummy?” Asked Elisio.

“I prayed” said Emerald and Elisio nodded and said “want to give me company today? I don’t want to be alone right now.”

“Aanhann” said Emerald and nodded.

Elisio smiled and got into the car.

He texted Ermanno that Emerald was with him and he was going back to the hospital.

Elisio reached the hospital and saw Taha, arzoo, Eezha, Sarah and Sabina reading an Arabic book.

Elisio knew it must be the Quran, the holy book of Muslims as he often saw Sabrina read it too.They all were seated in the waiting room.

Elisio walked past them and sat at a chairs near the OT with Emerald on his lap straddling him and facing him.

“Papa. Why are you not praying?” Asked Emerald.

“I don’t know who to pray or how to pray” said Elisio.

“Didn’t your mama teach you?” Asked Emerald.

Elisio shook his head no.

“It’s okay. I’ll teach you” said Emerald.

Elisio smiled and asked “but we are not in a church”

“God is everywhere papa.” Said Emerald.

Elisio looked at his left and then at his right and looked back at Emerald and said “I don’t see him”

Emerald looked at her right and left and looked back at Elisio and giggled and said “oh papa. You don’t see him, you feel him”

“How? And who taught you this?” Asked Elisio.

“Ethan daddy used to take me to church every Sunday and would pray with me at night before bed. He told me god lives in our heart and you feel his X.. X.. sister in your heart” said Emerald and Elisio smiled listening to her say existence as X sister.

“Close your eyes, papa” said Emerald.

Elisio smiled sad and closed his eyes and Emerald held his hand and placed it on his heart and said “now pray. He is in your heart. Ask him what you want”

Elisio creased his eyebrows and concentrated. He couldn’t believe a 4 year old child was showing him god.

He kept his eyes closed and then saw his fiore.

Sabrina was kneeling in front of him head bowed down. She lifted her head and smiled at him.

Sabrina was the 17 old who Elisio saw for the first time. He then saw her in different times of their life together. Her smile, her pout, her lip biting, her laugh, her giggle and most of all he saw the love in her eyes for him.

Elisio was shedding tears but didn’t open his eyes.

“Fiore” called Elisio and Sabrina smiled and said “aanhann”

Sabrina inhaled large and opened her eyes.

“Hold her down. Put on the oxygen mask. Don’t let her slip back.” Screamed Dr Schmidt.

“We found the block which was making her breathing difficult” said Dr Atkins.

“Yes. When that’s cleaned she can breath normally” said Dr Schmidt.

“She is slipping back” said the nurse.

“No keep her conscious” said Dr Schmidt.

“Mam. Open your eyes. Please don’t slip back. Your family is waiting for you outside. Your husband has not left your side for a second.” Said the nurse trying to keep Sabrina conscious.

“Elisio” called Sabrina and closed her eyes.

“We are loosing her” said one of the nurse.

“Her heartbeat is decreasing” said another nurse.

“We can’t continue” said Dr Atkins.

“We have to. I can’t leave this. Do you see what you have done. You should have saw to it that the stomach stab should not have infected the lungs. Now there is a blood clot which needs to be removed” Said Dr Schmidt continuing the operation.

“I thought the the medicine will bring down the infection and didn’t expect a blood clot” said Dr Atkins.

“When Elisio Devonte will come to know your mistake that may have caused his wife’s life you should say good bye to your career and life” said Dr Schmidt.

“Her heartbeat is dangerous low” said the nurse.

“Few more seconds” said Dr Schmidt and suddenly the machines went crazy.

“She has stopped breathing” said the nurse and Dr Schmidt looked up at the nurse.

Dr Schmidt walked out of the OT and Elisio stood up at once and placed Emerald on the ground to stand.

Dr Schmidt looked at Elisio and Elisio had never heard his own heartbeat in his ears before.
