I was wrong

I was wrong. It's been three days. Three days since Rachel's operation and she still isn't awake. The doctors said it's normal and that she'll wake up soon but that didn't calm my heart.

I needed to see her awake. I needed to see her beautiful eyes. I needed to see her ranting at Lisa for not doing the things to her liking. I needed to see her laughing with me. I needed to kiss her soft lips. I needed her moving around my home wearing her cute pajama shorts. I needed her.

Since the operation, I haven't left the hospital. The authorities were kind enough to give me a couch to sleep on. Aish or mom gets me fresh clothes everyday that I can wear after my shower in hospital bathroom.

Yeah, I know it sucks but I just can't leave the hospital. What if Rachel wakes up and I'm not around?

During the operation, the paparazzi were going crazy outside the hospital so Zack had to make an official statement, informing them about the operation and Rachel's condition.

The work, however, is being maintained by my father and Zack at both the offices. The Berger's were sympathetic about Rachel's condition but they were also worried about their project so my father had to go to personally meet them and assure them that Rach's accident won't affect work.

Dad wanted me to accompany him but I was too busy taking care of Rach to give a damn about their fucking hotels. They and their company can go to hell for all I care. Thankfully, dad understood my situation and didn't force me.

Other than me, Aish and Noah has also been in hospital most of the time. They never stayed the night but during day, they were here. Noah even started working from the hospital.

It was Wednesday today and I was sitting beside my Sunshine, looking her breathing steadily. Lately, I'd spent hours monitoring her rising and falling of chest. It had a soothing effect on me.

Suddenly my phone rang. Not wanting to disturb Rach in her peaceful sleep, I quickly took my phone out of the pocket and moved out of her room in the corridor. The bodyguards outside her door greeted me.

Yes, I have bodyguards all over the hospital but mostly on the ninth floor. I can't risk Rachel's safety again. If Kelley can do it once, she sure as hell can try again.

Nodding in response, I took the call. It was Adam, the police officer in charge of Rachel's case.

"Yes, Adam?"

"Mr West, we found Nathan. He is in our custody now."

My eyes widened at the news and my hands formed a fist.

Finally.

We'd been looking for Nathan and Kelley but hadn't got any lead about them. About two days ago, the police got some evidence about Nathan being in Italy but that was it.

"Great. I'll be there in fifteen.", I hung up.

I made my way towards the back door of the hospital to reach the parking. I avoided the front gate because the paparazzi have got that area covered and I was in no mood to deal with them.
