Found You

CHAPTER 17

August's POV

''You need to go back. It's not your time to leave yet.''

''Who are you?'' I tried calling the male voice but there was no response.

I need to go back. Mia and Leon. They need me.

It's difficult.

Mia's POV

I woke up in the same hospital bed like every day for the past week. I thought this would be easy but it's awful to be lying in the bed nonstop.

Leon was sleeping with me yesterday but I had to send him home. Laura took care of him. It makes me feel so bad to just be here and she helping me all the time.

I gently put my legs on the floor and slowly walked to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and did the facilities before going to lay back. The nurse should arrive here soon. But it seems that she was late.

The knock on the door startled me as the younger nurse entered my room. She wasn't the same nurse that was bringing me breakfast.

''Where is nurse Melody?'' I asked curiously.

''She had to take the emergency. The patient had a cardiac arrest and his heart stopped twice. We were lacking stuff at the moment so she had to go.'' She explained as my eyebrows raised.

''Oh sorry. I talked too much.'' She smiled and put the tray in front of me.

''It's okay. Is the patient now okay?'' I asked.

''Yes. The doctors saved him at the last minute. Poor man. He already had three gunshot wounds.'' She empathetically said. I felt my world stop.

''August! I need to see him.'' I cried out. The nurse quickly stopped me from moving. I glared at her.

''Miss, you can't walk.'' She said.

''Then get me on the damn wheelchair and bring me to my husband,'' I yelled. She jumped in fright and opened the wheelchair that was sitting in the corner of my room.

I sat down and told her to bring me to August. I was angry at the nurse that I forgot how hurt I was. His heart stopped twice. He almost left us.

We took the elevator to the second floor where was ICU. The nurse brought me to the door where was written his name. I couldn't go inside but I could see him through the glass.

Different kinds of tubes were attached to him. He looked so fragile. I did this to him. I should've never left if I had loved him so much.

''I love you, August,'' I said with tears rolling down my cheeks. He wanted to give up his life for us and I acted so greedy and selfish.

''He will be fine, Miss. Mr. Odak needs time to heal.'' The nurse said.

"I need to bring you back to your room, Miss, or Melody will be very angry." I nodded my head and with the last look, I departed from him.

She brought me back to my room and helped me on the bed. I couldn't eat the food she previously brought me. I turned on the side and closed my eyes trying to calm myself down.

Why am I always the unfortunate one? I am the one who always makes mistakes. I talked to my parents a week ago briefly and they didn't even remember to call me or to ask me about their grandchild.

If it wasn't for Laura all those years I and Leon would be all alone. Alejandra had her own family to take care of so we would just call each other occasionally. It makes me think that no one wants me.

I want to give my son the love my parents didn't give me. It's true when they say when you get hurt by your parents, you want the best for your kids after. It makes me relieved that I know my kids will have the best life I and August can give them. I just pray that he is going to be okay in the end.

August's POV

The black vision was replaced with the light. My eyes felt heavy and I couldn't properly open them, but I had to. I had to know where was I and what was happening.

The bright light was right in front of my eyes. After I finally adjusted my vision, I noticed that around me was light blue walls and something was beeping above my head nonstop.

It seemed like a hospital room. But my body was too sore to get up and call someone. Then I noticed that I had a tube in my mouth. It was supposed to help me breathe but it only made me gag.

I wanted to call for someone to unhook all these tubes for me, but there was no one.

And then, my wishes were granted.

It seemed that a nurse entered the room I was in. Her heels clicked against the floor as I could feel her presence closer. I tried making some sound for her to notice me.

When she met my eyes, her folder dropped on the floor.

"Sir, you're awake!" She squeaked. I blinked.

"How is this even possible? I'm calling the doctor now." She pressed the button a few times frantically.

"Vitals are good, your temperature is good. IV looks good. How could you wake up now?" She panicked, checking everything around me.

Then the door opened again and the doctor entered looking scared.
"Lucy, what happened?"

"He woke up. I don't know how." The nurse Lucy said. I just wanted to tell them that I want this fucking tube out of my mouth. Fucking idiots.

"Sir, can you hear us?" The doctor asked. I blinked once.

"Do you feel dizzy?" I tried shaking my head as a 'no'. He nodded and smiled.

"We are going to remove the tubes and brought him for the examination. It seems good for now." He told the nurse. She curtly nodded and hurried out of the room.

"Mr. Odak. You are a very lucky man." He chuckled. I relaxed my tensed body and waited for when I was going to see my son and my woman. I missed them.
