The Potential Between Us ✨ [MED SERIES 7] COMPLETED

Chapter 26

We were about to go to Paris when Gerard's accident happened. Of course, I wanted to be there for Louisse. I saw how devastated she was when we watched Gerard undergo multiple surgeries.

"Bakit hindi kayo tumuloy ni Kuya Chester?" Tanong nya nung dumalaw ako sa kwarto ni Gerard. She's staying with him for weeks now, hindi ko alam if naarawan pa ba sya.

"I can't just leave when you need me here," I said then hugged her.

For months, walang improvement sa kalagayan ni Gerard. Day by day, I watched Louisse begged just so he'll live. Awang-awa ako tuwing sinisisi nya yung sarili nya. The least thing I could do, was to do her duties for her. Halos hindi na rin ako umuuwi ng condo para sa duty.

Chester on the other hand never argued with me. Minsan tumatambay na lang sya sa kwarto namin ni Louisse sa hospital. It was a blessing na nagpagawa sya ng sarili namin, at least hindi awkward tuwing dinadalaw ako ni Chester.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah," sagot ko. "Kumain kana?"

"Hindi pa. I'll order ano gusto mo?"

"Kahit ano."

He got his phone from his pocket. "Idlip ka muna, I'll wake you up when the delivery arrived."

Hindi na ako nakipagtalo, humiga ako at pumikit na. For months feeling ko mamamatay na ako, naramdaman ko namang umupo sya sa gilid ng kama. He gently caressed my hair which made me fall asleep faster.

Nagising ako makalipas ng isang oras. Nakahiga na rin sya sa tabi ko at nakapikit, his breathing was very evident. Pinagmasdan ko lang sya. Alam kong medyo nagulo din sched nya kasi wala si Gerard, at si Dom naman kahalili ni Louisse sa pagbabantay kay Gerard.

I moved a little and he opened his eyes. "Gutom kana?"

"Dapat ginising mo ako." Sagot nya.

Bumangon sya at nagmicrowave ng order namin. I just went straight to the bathroom to wash up. Nung nakalabas ako ay tapos na sya. Tumawag muna ako sa nurse station kung may kailangan bang gawin, surprisingly walang admission at wala pang scheduled OR. Sana wala lang biglang manganganak habang nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pagkain.

"Baby, kain na." Malambing na sabi nya.

Umupo ako sa tabi nya. I rested first my head on his shoulder. Gusto ko ng umuwi ng condo.

"Still sleepy, hmm?"

"Yeah," I mumbled. "Sana bumangon na si Gerard, sayang yung Paris natin."

"We'll go after this," he informed me. "Hindi ka rin naman mapapakali ng hindi mo nakikita si Louisse, so we'll go after all of these."

"I'm sorry, promise bawi ako after nito." Sabi ko.

"It's fine. Kain na. Diba sabi ko sayo kapag kayang kumain, kumain ka. Ang payat mo na."

"Oo na daddy." I joked. Tinawanan nya ako.

"Sounds weird," he said laughing. "Call me that if we already have a mini you."

"How sure na kamukha ko?" Nakangiting sabi ko. "Baka nga kamukha mo."

"Kahit kanino kamukha. Basta sa ating dalawa."

Kumain lang kaming mabilis kasi may tumawag sa kanya ng may emergency OR daw sila.
