80. It was war
Leon returned to the ICU at exactly thirty five minutes He was five minutes late The doors slid open, then the machine beeping sounded in his ears again The other nurse had dispersed leaving only one nurse who was already moving out Another doctor stood by the monitorLeon’s heart sankTara laid on the bed, pale under the white lightsTubes ran into her arms just like he had left herNow a mask covered half her face, which meant she was aliveShe fought itLeon stopped two steps from the bed.He didn’t rush forward.Didn’t call her name.Didn’t reach for her hand.The doctor noticed him immediately.“You’re back” the doctor said quietlyLeon nodded once.“She stabilized” the doctor added “For now.”For now?Leon had learned long ago that those two words were lies disguised as hopeThe doctor adjusted a monitor“Her vitals are holding” he continued “The serum caused neurological shock, but the brain didn’t shut down completely”Leon’s eyes stayed on Tara“What does that mean?” he a

Raina’s words followed Leon all the way out of the hospital Don’t get into trouble Leon almost laughed, the police always gave that advice However. trouble was the only thing that ever found Leon His whole existence was now for trouble, gone were the days when he had a perfect family Now he was on a mission to avenge their death, but down that road he was finding things he never knew The automatic front doors slid open Cold night air hit his face The hospital lights of St Thelma hospital glowed behind him, too bright The parking lot was quiet Leon walked straight toward his car, parked at the far end just where he left it. He reached the driver’s side Paused, dropped the two coffee on the hood of the car Then he took out the remote control and pressed his thumb to the scanner The car unsealed with a soft click Leon opened the back door Inside, the hit man sat exactly as he had left him Slumped and his wrists cuffed behind him Drogo’s head lifted slowly as his ey

“House boy! How is my daughter?”Leon didn’t turnBecause if he did, he might finally explodeHe closed his eyes for a brief second and counted to three under his breath Then he turned to faced themTara’s father stood tall, his expensive apparel and gold cuff links reflected because of the waiting room light Charles was the kind of man who never apologized to anyone.Her mother stood beside him, her face was pale and her eyes swollen from the tears that poured “She’s in surgery” Leon said calmly.“They’re stabilizing her”Tara’s father scoffed.“Surgery?” he repeated “You hear that, Lillian? Surgery.”He stepped closer to Leon as if to intimidate him Leon was not intimated by him one bit “Why was my daughter even near you?” he snapped“Every disaster in her life started the moment you showed up-her company crashing, the narcotics, now this?”Leon’s jaw tightened, the disaster was more than Charles knew but he didn’t answer.Silence only angered Charles the more“She married you

The ICU lights were too bright that Tara’s eyes shut the moment they openedShe could hear voices and the machines that surrounded her, beeping “Her vitals just dropped again…” the voice trailed “…according to the paramedics she feels safe with you-sign the consent so we can proceed now. We will lose her if she doesn’t respond in the next hour!”Tara was too tired, her head hurt so much so it was as if a nail was being driven by a hammer into her skullHer eyes flickered up again and she saw her husband scribbling a pen on the clipboard the nurses handed to him “Thanks-the doctors can now proceed” the nurse spoke softly as she took the clipboard from himTara eyes went shut again The next time it opened, he was standing beside her Too close, with his one hand wrapped around her fingersHis other hand rested on the edge of the bed like it was the only thing keeping him upright“She is responding!” The doctor shouted almost excited, his eyes on the monitor “Talk to her, sometimes

The ambulance siren sounded through the night Tara laid on the stretcher with the oxygen mask strapped to her faceHer chest rose slowly, fell quickly then rose slowly again The rhythm was slow but most importantly she was under the care of professionals A machine beeped softly beside herLillian sat at the corner, holding Tara’s left hand like it could keep her daughter aliveWhile her lips kept moving as she muttered words of prayers under her breathe “Dear God please I don’t want to lose my daughter, please…please keep her alive…”Charles sat stiff beside her, his face was paleHe had barely spoken since the ambulance ride.
