Theo
'what?' Theo asked in shocked
Tom looks guilty and disturbed too 'I...i just had a small meeting with the CEO of the newspaper who published Sarah interview, according to them Molly was gone with the intention of taking interview of Sarah when she saw both of you in gala, by chance she saw Sarah and she acts like they are having a small talk rather than interview. The CEO told me that he fire Molly immediately and investigate the matter because he knows Grey name was involved ...Molly wants to get some promotions so she used this tactic to get fake publicity on your behalf....Theo (tom looks away) sarah indeed met Molly by chance she wasn't giving any interview'
Theo drops the cigarette in the floor and sit down in shocked and was quite...Sarah didn't betray him...she was telling him the truth but what he did to her. God for the last 12 days his wife has not opened an eye,she looks so fragile and so week that she has been on the feeding tube.
He can still see how he hit her with belt how she screamed...how she begged him...and then he sees Ava face who has been restless because she can't see her mother....he felt throbbing pain in his head and said 'Fuck... I should probably go to the police'
Tom sighs loudly 'Theo don't be stupid...we have been on this topic like a thousand times but all the time I told you it will not benefit anyone...look I realized you feel guilty..hell I'm too...if I haven't called you then she won't be in this position but... I know I'm bastard to say this now but Tina needs justice...and Sarah is involved in it..We are close Theo very close...just need a big proof'
Theo stands suddenly 'Fuck it... I know Tina need justice. And I will be damn if I don't give her..but Sarah ..this time she was innocent and i ..(he hold his head) I hurt so bad ...she might never wake up' Theo said with a feared voice
Tom put his hand on Theo shoulder 'She will..we have given her the best care...doctor might not be optimistic but they not hopeless too ....but I'm more concern about dad...he is different now and I have told him whole story about you and Sarah..he still doesn't think Sarah can do it...Theo, he is determined to take Sarah and Ava when Sarah woke up...that's more worrying me' Tom said in an uncomfortable voice
Theo said loudly ''fuck I know I made a mistake but dad can't take my family'
'A family you don't deserve ...a family you make sure in which your daughter can't see her mother again..and family where you are plotting to put your wife behind the bar for a crime she never commits' Mr. grey loud voice boom in the room
Theo looks away in shame and said 'Dad. I made a mistake. I accept it but you don't know that Tina is dead because of Sarah'
'Don't fucking call me dad again...you are lucky that you are not behind the bar but I'm waiting for Sarah to speak and say it by herself it was you....and even if you give me hundred of proof against Sarah still i wont believe...my daughter Sarah can't hurt anyone certainly not Tina' Mr. grey chocked with emotions and then h become still and Tom and Theo look how his father grasp for air and his body was now falling...both brothers run to their dad and said 'Dad..'
They make Mr Grey sit down and then Theo give some water to him. 'I'm calling doctor...i saw the twitch in your walk yesterday too'
Mr grey stop him 'stop it..I'm ok...my daughter needs to be ok then I will be perfectly fine...it's all stress
Theo said 'Dad.Then you need to relax a bit. I know you are angry but we need you'
Mr Grey when he felt he was little ok he stands slowly 'I wish I can say the same about you' and then he walked away
Sarah
Sarah felt the small hand on her face and instantly she felt pull to that hand...she can smell the baby powder and baby formula smell exactly like...her Ava...Sarah was dreaming again she is sure but she can hear the background voices again this time more clearly
'Elva what is Ava doing here,...you know she shouldn't be here 'she heard harsh male voice
Elva voice was softly but firmed 'Theo. Ava wants to see her mother...you have no idea how this little girl is getting fed up and sad...she wants to see her mama'
Sarah wants to open her eyes but she was trapped in steel chains. she wants to hold her child but she can't reach her...then she felt a kiss...Ava soft lips were on Ava cheek 'Ma.mama' Ava said in a baby voice
Sarah heart constraint and she cry in frustration when she can't break the chains in her dream.Her baby need her
Theo makes a painful voice 'You ...plz Elva take her..it's not good for a baby to see her mother like that .plz'
But Sarah doesn't want her baby gone...Theo why you doing this...then Sarah saw in her dream she was free from the chains but then she felt the belt whiplash again and again and then she saw her child Ava scared face ...who was looking at her mother bleeding body...she has to protect her...She can heard Theo voice in her dream while he was hitting her 'you will never open you fucking mouth ... I will make sure of that'
Theo loudly said 'What's happening to her....why she is shaking like that. Elva calls the doctor she is in the other room. Sarah..come on Sarah..it's ok you are fine..oh god don't let anything happen to her' theo plead in a loud voice
Sarah then screamed loudly and she opens her eyes and saw Theo scared and shocked blue eyes...Then she heard a lady wearing white court run to her 'Sarah calm down..ok calm down..you are ok..you are fine...just take a deep breath..in and out ..in and out'
Sarah looked at the lady who was a doctor and she did exactly like that...she hard familiar voice 'Oh thank god..my daughter is finally awake. Sarah ..oh god Sarah are you ok' Mr grey presence was sure enough calming her..but she wants to see her daughter
She opens her but then she saw Theo face in front of him 'Sarah tell me do you need something..tell me please'
