Wrath Of His Heart

Chapter 2: Her Heartbeat

Vincent's POV

I sit there staring at her, as he keeps on updating me about the office work and other things. He knows I am not listening even then he tries to persuade me to go to the office with him. Trying for 20 minutes now, he finally gives up and says "I am done with him Hazel, please get food for him now."

She obeys him, puts the food on the plate and serves me, I start eating when the doctor comes into the ward and looks at me. "Ohh clean shave after a long time Vincent, what's the good news."

"Don't you think you're obliged to answer that question of yours, is there any good news, is there any progress?" I say and Nick butts in saying "Don't mind him, Dr. Petrova, I took this idiot home, to help him freshen up, by the way, what's the progress."

"I am sorry to say this Mr. Lorenzo but for the past 2 weeks she has not been responding to the treatment, her body is refusing it, I guess she does not have much time left, the only thing we can hope for now is for her to wake up from the coma." Dr. Petrova says and I hear a glass clattering sound, I drop the plate in my hand.

"How the fuck can you even say that?" I growl at him.

"I understand Mr. Lorenzo, I know she is your wife but you need to understand that, when I last told you that she dropped into Coma 4 months ago, I certainly told you to not have any hopes, however, she was responding to treatment until last week, but now her body is not taking it up. I am afraid to say this but if the situation continues the same for the next few weeks, she might even end up being brain dead, which ultimately means..."

At the same time, I heard the door bang sound to saw Aiden over there, I guess he heard everything. He comes in and shouts "Please save her doctor, there must be something up your sleeve, if you want money I am ready to pay more but please, save her, if you need any facility I can do that as well, but please doctor."

I dropped on my keen and let the tears drop, it was too much to bear, and every part of my body was on fire and I could not even breathe properly, I was struggling, I was fighting here for her, and she was ready to give up on me, on our love, how could you Cassandra, how can you leave me.

These 4 months were a torture to see you lifeless on the stretcher, to listen to your heartbeats through a machine, it was hell Cassandra, but I survived knowing you would come back to me, not to leave me alone in this world, I can't stay without Cassandra, all I am begging you now is, for you to come back to me.

When my breaths became shallow, I could feel Nick and Hazel beside me and shouting something, but I could not catch on to the things, I was having a panic attack, and it was not the 1st time in the last 4 months. All of a sudden everything becomes a blur and I lose consciousness.

Nicks POV

When I sensed Vincent struggling hard to breathe, I reached and held onto his hand, and he was clenching fists very hard, I could sense restlessness in his body movements, he tore his hands away from me and held on to his chest and was sweating profusely. Seeing all this Hazel tries to comfort him telling him everything will be alright, Cassandra is a fighter but I knew he was not able to concentrate on any of her words.

Dr. Petrova also sensed the seriousness of the situation and came to help, he gave Vincent an injection and he slowly fell into deep slumber. I and Aiden helped him to lie on the bed next to Cassandra. This was the 6th or the 7th time he has had a panic attack in the last 4 months. It used to happen to him, when he first met with the accident 7 years ago, with his mom by his side, and next when he lost her.

After that, I and Aiden went to talk to the doctor about her condition, and how she was doing, if there was any chance for her to come back to us. He just gave us a hope of 10%. I feel bad for Vincent, he spent his entire 4 months behind the hospital wall only and he never interacted with anyone except for us. He hardly eats nor does he sleep, it's been a very difficult time for all of us.
