His words worked like a charm and warded my concerns. After taking the prescribed medicine, I closed my eyes and fell asleep once more.
I ended up sleeping for three consecutive days. Zachary then told me I had been having a high fever ever since I was rushed to the hospital. The doctor once warned them to get themselves ready for the worst, but I managed to make it through the crisis.
After the routine check-up by the doctor, I turned around and asked, “Where’s Christopher?”
My voice was still hoarse, but I no longer felt the pain bothering me on the day I first regained consciousness.
“H-He—” Zachary stuttered with his brows furrowed as though he was supposed to keep Christopher’s whereabouts confidential.
I could vividly recall Christopher’s forehead drenched in blood when he brought me out of the basement. As my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach, I asked, “Where is he?”
“Chris wants me to keep you in the dark, but I don’t think that’s necessary. When he couldn’t reach you, he noticed something was wrong. Immediately, we made our way back. Unfortunately, we were involved in an accident, but he insisted on rushing over to rescue you.”
After a few seconds of pause, he said, “Chris decided to keep you company since you had been having it rough over the past two days. In addition to excessive bleeding, the pent-up fatigue caught up to him. Thus, he passed out in the morning.”
When Zachary told me Christopher was still unconscious, I was on pins and needles. Thus, I begged him, “Can you please bring me to him immediately?”
Zachary took a step back and told me to calm down since I had gotten overly worked up again. “I’ll bring you over once the doctor’s done.”
I wondered if his response had something to do with my response while I was unconscious. It must have been something extreme to be able to intimidate him. I couldn’t care less and repeated my request, “Please bring me over to him immediately!”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zachary nodded and answered, “Alright!”
Someone had to wheel me over in a wheelchair because I couldn’t stand on my feet just yet. When Zachary wheeled me into the ward, I saw the man on the bed.
